Yo so i guess after such a memorable trip to hongkong maybe i should at least talk about it although i pretty suck at narration =\

the first thing i realize immediately when i landed there was the weather, to be honest i was expecting something MUCH colder, you know like, winter-ish cold? But meh it feels like an outdoor aircon environment actually, like seriously, everyone says im coming at the wrong time but i highly doubt so, i cant imagine myself 24/7 wearing jacket in singapore!

remember this advertisement on hongkong? 买东西吃东西买东西吃东西? er.. i think i only do 50% of it, i didnt shop much, its full of winter clothing and like hell im gonna wear winter clothing back in singapore >_> girls would love that place thou cause all the summer clothings are on sale.

i miss the food there BADLY, its like, any shop that you visit ought to have nice food, and really i would pay to go there again just to eat their dim sum, its that nice.

so besides eating we have been walking around, to all the nice places, we went to the peak, which as its name suggested is the peak of a mountain, and the view is pretty darn good from there, theres a wax museum which i got to say im pretty impressed (except jay chou thou which doesnt really look like him). And just a sidenote, i didnt know that MM Lee Kuan Yew is actually quite tall, he's around my height, like slightly shorter.

I especially love the ocean park trip, its like.. an all-in-one really. theme parks, aquarium, carnival. Oh and did I mention that I had my virgin try on freefall machine there? My face was as white as sheet upon queuing up, and i guess i almost fainted when the thing goes full speed upwards, but going down was pretty fun and shiok, people say that the scary process is the speeding down part but to me it was the going up that was scary, it felt like i was gonna get thrown out of the machine!

The only bad thing about ocean park is that it closes very early, 6pm! and due to that we missed out the roller coaster, which was a big phew for me since im pretty sure that i will die from it.

Stanley Road is another good experience, its like the holland v of singapore in my eyes only that it is 10X better, its beside the sea, and theres those market that you see on TV, you know those typical hong kong market, and i highly recommend to everyone who's going there to try out this shop "pizza express", their roasted duck pizza is a must try, gosh, im feeling hungry even thinking about it now!

1 thing i cant believe is that there's a street soccer court right at Stanley Road, and no one uses it, gosh thats like such a waste, in singapore you cant find any court thats nearby the sea (except of cause the ECP one, which costs a bomb, and Stanley's one is so much better please). We had a mini kick about session with the ang mo kids there and i barely sweat a bit, it has got to be the most fun soccer experience I've ever had.

So yea.. generally thats what happened, I will definitely want to go back there (for a longer duration) one day, theres still so many parts of hong kong I havent visit, and so many foods I've never tried!

PS: specially wrote hong kong review for you ar, you know who you are!

Good nights peeps!
