Summer holidays; Hongkong (Part 1)
Warmest greetings to everyone from the 45 degrees city (aka Sydney). It's been about a week since i came back from singapore & hk. when i was in SG, i've been trying to adapt to the weather change(which is absolutely necessary in warm humid SG) but still suffering under the scorching weather here :/ then when i got back to sydney, i got blasted by the friggin 45 degrees temperature and the gust of wind that felt like exhaust, literally.
As all of you guys should know, i came back to SG for my summer holidays, not back for good (unfortunately). I recently went to hongkong for holidays (yes, another self proclaimed holiday) and to spend christmas there as well. I've been swarmed with appointments with different friends, so much that i have to split my day into two parts; day and evening, to accommodate to all my friends. BUT, im not complaining hey. how often do i get to meet up with friends of mine, since im studying overseas, and yes i'll be staying in aus for a couple of years after i graduate this coming dec. So this is the perfect time to meet up with my friends :) okay, cut the talk, let my photos do the talking :)
i touched down in hongkong at night, 930pm to be exact. so basically my first day was settling down at home and getting some rest.

D brought me to the hair salon that he frequents, and although their prices are a lil pricey, its still a lovely place that occasionally cuts celeb hair. salon is located in causeway bay, and its friggggin hard to find. lol! anyway it was a pretty relaxed day. shopped around causeway bay and had dinner at The Loop, which was located at central. then we went to meet Wilson at LKF and had some drinks and shisha :)
22nd dec
had lunch at Crystal Jade at wan chai then headed off to mongkok for shopping! okay, so shopping pretty much sums up my day. nothing much besides SHOPPING. the moment i entered Argyle center, i felt like i was suffocating and a mega headache just kicked in. crowds and me are no good friends....
23rd dec
This day, we spent another day in mongkok, but only for awhile and a rather slack day cus we gotta head back early and rest up for party at night. so shop shop shop, eat eat eat, went back home got takeaway beef noodles and took a quick nap. got changed and headed out for the party event called "Joint U Glamour Free Shots Party". It was held at Azure, which is located at the top of LKF Hotel. The view was UH-MAZINGGGG! well, though it can't beat that of The Peak. hahahaa. After getting in, we hopped to our table first before getting trays of shots. boy were we glad we had a table! there were only 5 tables in the area, and i think min. spending is 8000HKD. haha. so many random ppl tried to sit at our table and pretend its theirs and we had to chase people away all the time. annoying freaks!
BJ! why BJ? cus her name is Beverly Jane Maxwell (BJ). hahaha! love you! |
so im drinking tequila from a bowl. cooooooool. |
uhmazing viewww |
dino hookup! that's what the hk ppl will call it.... |
24th dec
i woke up reallyyy late, slacked around and before i knew it, it was 3pm already. had dim sum at the south horizon club house afterwards. mmmm,yummy! dimsummmm, but it was slightly more expensive cus its at the club house. haha. then went back home watched some tv and got ready to head out for dinner and meeting the rest of my friendssss! had hot pot dinner at wan chai area and went to take the star ferry! it was really cheap, i thought you know some touristy thing, would cost you a bomb, but i was wrong! it cost only $2.50 per ride! usually one bus ride would cost you near 10HKD. we took it from wan chai to tsim sha tsui. really nice views along the way.
it was christmas eve, and thus there were HEAPS HEAPS HEAPS of people around the area... zuii and i had to squeeze through people and finally managed to get a quick shot with the christmas lightings...
25th dec
Merry Christmas everybodeeeehhh (okay its a little belated i know). but anyway, since its christmas and everywhere should be crowded, we went to chang zhou! its an island offshore hongkong main land, its about an hour boat ride away. something like from singapore to batam. LOL. just that this island still belongs to hongkong, not the neighbouring country. hoho. okay so yup, nothing much just eating and more photos on this day. enjoy!
