ok i'm going to start my
very long blog entry about the hong kong trip and what happened today. lol. i'm looking through KARA's thread in soompi, uploading photos onto photobucket and blogging so i think i'm going to take hours to finish this entry. the time now is 11.46PM.
i can't remember the exact details. but i'll blog down as much as i can.
have fun reading. (x
08.07.07, sundayi woke up at 7.30AM. omg. and the night before, i slept at 2AM coz wenting unnie and i were going crazy over KARA. lol. managed to get into their official website! very happy. (x
met shu and her mom around 9AM. went straight into the departure hall and waited to board the plane! ran to the internet point to visit wenting unnie and lesley's blog and blog that qian bian entry.
watched 'monsters inc' on the plane! had chicken and potato for lunch. yumyum. AND THEY GAVE ME
HAAGENDAZS ICE CREAM. omg. shu was laughing when i had that horrified look on my face. haagendazs is even haunting me in the plane! rarh. but i still finished it. it's expensive okay. hehs.
the runway was just beside the ocean. shu and i were looking out of the window while it was landing.
shu: OMG. we're going to land on water!
*plane touches down on land*
me: *makes a face* shu...
we had a 'tour guide' person who got us to the hotel. SHE WAS TINY. omg. she's so cute. she's so small and short that even when she raised up her hands to indicate where she was, her hand only reaches up to the head. haha. she's adorable i tell you. i should have taken a picture of her!
we stayed at kimberley hotel. located at tsim sa tsui.
*picture*
*picture*
*picture*
right after we put down our luggages, we were out of the hotel already! haha. decided to walk around the area where we were staying in. omg. all the shops there were those high end de. we see until jaw drop. lol. then aunty called her friend so we went down to central to meet her for dinner!
we decided to just walk around central first coz we reached there very early. i bought a black top from giordano which costs HK$90. hohoho. the clothes in giordano are so different from the clothes that our giordano sells! the first item purchased! (x
met aunty's friend, aunty pat. she brought us to tsui wah to have dinner. when we sit down, the waiter served us 4 glasses of tea. not knowing what it's for, aunty, shu and i starting to drink. then aunty pat told us that the hongkongers put the chopsticks and spoons inside to wash them. we nearly spit down the water can until aunty pat told us that it was okay to drink it as well. lol. we were so suaku. we had 2 noodles thingys (i can't remember what it's called) and pork buns! well, shu and i ate the pork buns. it was super good can. i forgot to take pictures of them. oh wells.
after dinner, aunty pat wanted to show us a good place to eat dim sum for breakfast the next day. so we walked up this hill thingy. and we saw people filming! omg. shu and i got so excited can. lol. it was a super interesting sight! turned out to be michelle ye and some guy. i took a mini video of them acting though i wasn't supposed to. =x it wasn't much. they were just walking down the street and talking only. but it was still super exciting. didn't expect to see people filming. ^~^
aunty pat took us to HMV coz shu and i kept saying we want to buy CDs. or maybe i was the one making noise. hahaha. I LOVE HONG KONG'S HMV. seriously. their collection of korean things is huge! omg. shu found out that they had all the old S.H.E CDs there and i found so many korean CDs that i wanted to buy! they even had baby vox re.v can. omg. too bad they didn't have KARA. i think KARA's too new already so haven't come to hong kong yet. couldn't find CSJH de. i was super upset! )x went to the information counter and asked the guy to help me check if other HMV outlets have. he checked and YES THERE WERE! omg. i seriously went high then. can you imagine?! CSJH DE ALBUM! told him to help me reserve it there so i can go down and get it. in the end, he asked the people to send over to the HMV outlet at tsim sa tsui so it would be easier for us to get it. the guy is super sweet! asked him to look for chaeyeon's other albums as well but they didn't have any album except 'my love'. sorry wenting unnie.
in the end, i bought '2006 SMtown winter album, S.H.E's 'play' and super junior trot 'rokkugoh'. it's cheaper there! ^~^ shu bought 2 CDs.
went to causeway bay for dessert! had some egg thingy with milk. it's a bit too milky for shu and i. we couldn't exactly finished it. =x
we went back to the hotel feeling
very happy. lol. we went super high while opening our CDs can. omg. i think aunty thought we were mad.
we didn't want the hotel room to sound so quiet so shu turned on MTV. they played so many nice songs! they even played 'timeless' can. you can imagine mel staring at the screen with intensity. haha. haven't watched that MV in a while. they played it twice coz it had 2 PVs. ah, poor hankyung. got killed. lol.
we left the tv on while talking about very confidential things which i shall
NOT say out. haha. we talked until 2AM. i'm sorry shu. i would have let you slept earlier but i was BARING MY SOUL OUT TO YOU.
09.07.07, mondaywoke up at 8AM. but shu and aunty chased me back to sleep coz they were afraid that if i didn't sleep enough, i would be super sleepy the entire day and we wouldn't be able to enjoy ourselves! lol. so i went back to sleep.
then i HAD A NIGHTMARE. shu, don't laugh at me. it's traumatizing.
woke up at 10AM. brushed up and we set off!
went to the restaurant where aunty pat recommended and had dim sum. the dim sum there is super different from singapore de. and of course, it's much nicer. hohoho. eat until very happy. i was playing with my food can. so it's so cute. you just have to play with them!
headed to causeway bay to shop shop shop! we went to times square first. first stop, BOSSINI. shu went totally crazy coz they had really cute shirts there! they had cute cartoon pictures on them! and had things like 'im crispy - french fry', 'im hot - hot dog' and blah blah blah. super cute de. shu bought 3 of them to give her friends. lol.
then we turned.
and we saw CD WAREHOUSE. we practically
ran towards the shop! hahaha. we were super high again when we saw what they had there. S.H.E's CDs from their debut until now. OMG. I SAW CSJH'S SINGLES CAN! 2 OF THEIR SINGLES! OMG. i wanted to buy de but i didn't want to waste so much money. rarh. if i brought a little more money, i would have bought both le. i feel super sad! rarh.
walked out of times square and walked around causeway bay. found SOGO and started to walk around. it's like our taka. just that it's much bigger. it has 7 floors! i think. lol. shu and i only wanted to go to the toy sections coz the clothes there weren't exactly our type. in the end, we went to the toy side and went crazy. hahaha. it was super funny de. bought something for shu! (x coz she said she liked it but she can't buy coz of her mom. so i went to buy for her secretly! but i gave it to her already. that's later part of the story. haha.
went to this shop called 'xu liu shan' for mango dessert!
THIS SHOP IS MY FAVOURITE! i had one that had mango pudding, mango ice cream and mango fruits in mango puree. omg. i eat until super happy can! shu and aunty shared almost the same as mine just that their ice cream was coconut. shu had some drink with mango puree and sago inside. it was super good. hahaha. i was addicted to the desserts! damn, they don't have it in singapore can. i'm super sad. i want them to open a shop here! then i'll go everyday. haha.
went to mong kok after that. it's apparently a shopping paradise coz there's this place called 'lady's street'. it's like a giant pasar malam! it's freaking cool. they sold so many clothes, hats, accessories, bags, shoes and so on! i bought a top from there! it came with a necklace so i was very happy. then there was this dress thingy which selina from S.H.E wore! i wanted to buy it can. i told shu that it was very pretty and shu just replied '
it's pretty coz selina wore it.' thanks ah. trying to say that i won't look nice in it! RARH. in the end i didn't get it coz i didn't want to spend any more money. lol.
shu and aunty bought 2 bags for yihui. a paddington and some bag that yihui wanted so that she could bring to school. PADDINGTONS WERE EVERYWHERE. omg. i was so tempted to get a paddington myself. haha. but everyone has it and i didn't want to get what everyone has! so i didn't buy.
we walked passed the stalls right. then people will be standing at the side, saying hello and all so that the people will go and buy their stuff. then there was this woman. shu and i walked past her and she went 'HELLO!'. and then she said 'ANNYONGHASEYO!'. O.O omg i got a shock of my life lah. she mistook me for a korean! omg. shu was laughing at me can. rarh. just coz i wear a cap doesn't mean i'm a korean. =.=;;
went by to the HMV at tsim sha tsui to collect my CSJH album. then we went back to the hotel to rest our aching feet (or rather
my aching feet) before going out for dinner with aunty pat at central again.
this time we had dinner at the restaurant opposite tsui wah. i took the wet towel back de but i don't know where i put it. that's why i can't remember the name of the restaurant. haha oops. we had noodles, duck, char siew, veggie, toufu and some super nice soup! before that, we were served this century egg thing. aunty pat said it was super nice so i decided to give it a try. shu took a lick and said she didn't dare to try it and shoved it to aunty. i thought it was pretty nice
at first then the after taste came. OMG. I NEARLY PUKED EVERYTHING OUT. i could smell
ammonia. kill me can. ammonia! walao. but i had to forced everything down my mouth coz my dad wasn't there to eat for me! rarh. it was sick sick sick!
reached back to the hotel around 10.30PM or so. bathed and all. BARED MY SOUL OUT TO SHU AGAIN. hahaha. we were waiting for nice MVs to come out on mtv again but they were playing english songs. T.T stupid and disgusting english songs. rarh. we slept half an hour earlier.
10.07.07, tuesdaywoke up at 10AM plus i think? i can't remember. lol. as usual, shu and aunty were just waiting for me to wake up. =x
went to tsui wah coz charmaine told shu that they had this awesome french toast thing where they put peanut butter on it and pour condensed milk on top. we didn't know where it was called so we just ordered toast with peanut and toast with condensed milk. and found out it wasn't the one that charmaine said. lol. shu and i shared a bowl of instant noodles with eggs and luncheon meat. it was good! (x had hot milk tea as well. and guess what the
brilliant mel did? i kept thinking that the milk tea wasn't sweet enough and i added SO MUCH sugar to it. in the end, it became too sweet until i nearly vomitted everything out. lol. clap for me please. thank you very much.
went up to wan chai (or is it chai wan?) coz apparently, there were factory outlet shops there. lol.
stepped into bossini
again and found what i've always wanted to buy for the longest time. JEANS! hohoho. i bought 2 pairs. kiasu mel. coz it was $25 only and i wanted more pairs of jeans. so i just bought lor. shu and aunty bought a pair of jeans for yihui. i
nearly paid for yihui's jeans! the cashier assumed that i would pay for that coz i was with them can. and they pointed to aunty saying 'your mother'. i was horrified. hahaha. faster told her aunty wasn't my mother. it was damn funny.
continued to venture around. shu bought a shirt. i can't remember what it said. i asked her to buy the one with the word 'chaos theory' on it but they didn't have it in white so she bought another one. they bought a shirt for shu's dad at some shop called 'unouno'.
we didn't manage to find the factory outlets. pretty sad coz we could have gotten nice and cheap clothes there.
went back to causeway bay! for what? FOR MY MANGO DESSERT! hahaha. this time i ordered one with 'mango ice cream, mango fruit, glutinous rice balls in mango puree'.
i really really love this. i love it more than the first one i ate! wahaha. shu had some fried thing and a drink of grapefruit and mango. aunty had some chewy thing with mango inside and a drink of mango and aloe vera. then they shared some bird nest mango pudding thing. lol. i eat until very happy. (x
we found this shop in times square where they sell cute little things. so we just went inside to go googoo-gaga over every cute thing we saw there. then there was this section where this guy was selling BEETLES. omg. it's damn disgusting can. who on earth will buy the beetles back?! yuck. they had so many cute and fun stuff there. too bad i couldn't buy the whole shop back. what a pity. )x
we decided to go back to mong kok to walk down some more coz we didn't manage to walk the whole of lady's street yesterday. besides, i wanted to buy myself a bag coz i've been wanting to buy one but i couldn't exactly find a nice and pretty cheap one in singapore. lol. walk walk walk.
then i saw a super pretty cap! hohoho. i wanted to get a black cap for a long time too! we bargain bargain bargain until HK$45. yay. very happy! i got another cap!
didn't get my bag but i got a cap! (x
went to tsim sha tsui to find some restaurant that sells egg tarts and some pork bun thingy. and we found it! the egg tarts were awesome. they were so crispy and sweet lah! then shu and i had pork buns again. it was different than the tsui wah one. the tsui wah one was so much better. =x shu and i had some lemon thing with honey. YUMMY! aunty wanted to eat the roasted pigeon but shu didn't want coz they would just give us the whole pigeon itself and shu's
terrified of birds. haha. wanted to eat it just to scare her. but in the end we didn't.
went back to the hotel to rest and to also put down our things coz we didn't want to lug it around while we went out again.
guessed what mel did? MEL CAM WHORED. hahahaha. i started to put on my cap and took
so many pictres of myself. i took pictures
with shu and
of shu of course! she wore my pink cap. lol. she looked super funny coz she wasn't a pink person. then we were talking about birthdays then we realized that WE DIDN'T GET CRISTAL A BIRTHDAY PRESENT. and her birthday was on the 18th of march. hahaha. omg. we panicked like hell can. so we told aunty that we
needed to go back to mong kok so we could get cristal a bag and hopefully one for myself as well.
walked to a few stalls before we found one bag very suitable for cristal! haha. shu found it actually. we bargained with the woman until it was HK$120. then while packing the bag for us, the woman asked if we were singaporeans. SO CLEVER. i think she could tell by the way we bargained. =.=;;
went around some more to get me a bag. AND I SAW IT. hanging up there! haha. it's super pretty! and it's really me. the woman said HK$280. OMG. that's like $50+ can! it's crazy. i was super sad lah. coz i really liked it but it was so huge. then aunty helped me bargained! hahaha. bargained until HK$190. then she said cannot go any futher le. wah, that time i was very sad le. then shu asked if i want it. coz if i didn't mind the price, then i should just get it. so i got it. HOHOHO. coz i really really love the bag lah! THE BAG IS LOVE! (x KARA AND CSJH ARE LOVE TOO. okay, random. i'm getting really high now.
went back to causeway bay to meet aunty pat for dinner again. this time, she brought us to a little shop to have wanton noodles! YAY. i had been waiting to eat wanton noodles for goodness knows how long can! they were super generous with the wantons! singapore hawkers only give 3 wantons right. they gave us
6! it was amazing. haha. shu and i put the wantons in the little soup bowl so that we could mix our noodles properly. we put the wantons inside until the soup nearly spill out. =.=;; i managed to eat finish my noodles okay! the portion was really enormous. it's like never ending can! we eat and eat and eat but the amount of noodles was still so much! shu couldn't finish coz it was too salty.
guess where we went after that?
XU LIU SHAN! hahahahahaha. i kept saying i wanted to eat my glutinous rice mango dessert. so we walked to that shop where we always go to. in the end, we walked one round can. omg. we were lost. hahaha. i dunno how they walked. i was just blindly following them until i realized we were back to where we came from. =.=;; but of course we got to the place if not i would be really sad. (x
went back to the hotel. we were packing our bags so that we didn't have to pack them the next day. i had to practically squeeze everything in my luggage coz my bag couldn't close can. then shu helped me. i thought she saw the secret thing i bought for her (RECAP ON MONDAY) so i decided to just give it to her! haha. she was so touched. (x
this time lights were off at 12AM coz we had to wake up
earlier the next day. i couldn't sleep lah. it was too early for me to sleep. so i took my ipod and listened to music until i fell asleep. then i woke up at 1AM. rarh. but i managed to fall asleep. haha.
11.07.07, wednesdaylast day in hong kong. ):
woke up at 7AM okay! omg. i couldn't sleep. i dunno why. so i plugged on my ipod and listened until 8AM when shu and aunty woke up. haha. then aunty said we didn't have to leave until 9.30AM so i went back to sleep until 9AM. hahaha.
went to tsui wah (for the third time!) and ordered their french toast 'hong kong style'! and it was the correct one! we ordered 2. it's really good. but it's easy to make. just dip the bread in egg, fry it and put butter on top! and pour honey over it. yummy. shall ask my mom to do it for me! ^~^
went opposite to the bakery to get laopo biscuits, love letters, almond biscuits and some other stuff. aunty bought HK$400 over of food! hahaha. i bought HK$341. for my family, my dad's side and my mom's side. THEY WERE DAMN HEAVY. omg. carry until my hand nearly dropped out can.
oh yes, i decided to wear my track shoes out coz my slippers were packed in the luggage again. YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! THE SOLE OF MY SHOES CAME OUT IN THE MTR STATIONS LAH. omg. first the rest side came out at tsim sha tsui mtr station on the way for breakfast. nevermind. then the left side came out at central de mtr station! rarh! went back to the hotel and left it at the dustbin. haii. i was really sad. ): i love that pair of shoes. that pair became a hong kong citizen. LOL.
the bus came to pick us up at 1PM. then the driver went to another hotel to pick a couple up. on the way to the airport, i was taking pictures of the scenary. haha. i realized i didn't take much pictures of hong kong. so i just took whatever that looked nice to me. then i got really bored on the bus. so i CAM WHORED again. lol. every 2 pictures of the scenary, you'll see 5 pictures of me. coz i couldn't decide which picture looked better so i kept all of them. LOL.
went to the airport to get krispy kremes! hohoho. we couldn't find it lah. coz the stupid directory said 'COMING SOON'. walao. we walked walked walked then suddenly we could smell donuts! hahaha. and alas! we found it! shu bought like 6 dozens can. super a lot! i bought only 2 dozens. coz i'm not that much of a big fan of donuts. i think they're too sweet for me.
after buying, we went to the departure gate already.
I AM VERY UPSET WITH CATHAY PACIFIC. shu and i were watching 'confession of pain' on the plane. then it came the very exciting part where someone set the house on fire. then the whole screen just went blank can! OMG. WE WERE SO PISSED LEH. then after 15 minutes or so, the whole damn movie restarted. walao. so we went to watch something else for 45 minutes coz we watched the front part already. then there was turbulence and announcements were made. THEN THE MOVIE PAUSED FOR DAMN LONG LAH. shu and i were already very angry le. but luckily the movie continued. like every 10 minutes, the stupid pilot will keep making announcements. irritating. then suddenly he said due to good weather, we will touch down 20 minutes earlier. OMG. OUR MOVIE HAD 20 MINUTES MORE TO GO! then at the most exciting part again, they turned off the monitor. i'm very angry with cathay. very angry. )x
