Hong Kong Trip (Day2 & 3)

Day 2
The agent had called to make sure we were ready in the Hotel lobby – first, they have taken us to this one Buddhist Temple in Hong Kong Island(I couldn’t recalled the name) – from the trip we had seen a very beautiful luxurious house in the hills facing the seaview in Repulse Bay, which the agent told us that one house costs about HKD 80m (RM36.5m) – giler ker hapa??? Mmg 100 thn kejer pun blum tentu dpt beli.. but seriously, it was serene and an awesome view, perhaps you should buy that all together then costs you that much huh?? – we had also noticed the HK Aquiarium and we were thinking “knp la x terpk nk pg sini? Kalo tak mesti Sophie happy giler tgk fish (dolphin)” hmmm.. indeed.. we definitely have to have more proper plan for the next visit in HK.


Next stop was to Aberdeen Fishing Village, we had a ‘sampan’ ride (they also call it sampan) for about 20 mins. This sampan ride conveyed by former fisherman, and we were told the gov suggested them to occupy themselves in this tourism business as they have already retired. Even though it was costs us about 20 HKD, but the ride was good. Soon after that, we stopped by at HK Jewellery Factory before we headed to Victoria’s Peak. Since we were riding a bus to the peak, we had no chance to take a tram. The peak had a very beautiful view. From there you could have seen some of building facing each other between this island and the mainland. We have captured some pictures with some helped of the agent.
Then, we went to Madame Tussauds, spent some time in here especially with Sophie around, she was obviously looked at the wax mannequin with the curiosity. “How are these people just stick around without moving?” hahaha.. The exhibits was quite the same as in London, except they have put their stars as Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau, Leon Lai..etc..etc.. Then, end tour at Avenue of Stars and free at own leisure at Tsim Sha Tsui which we had our own arrangement for return trip to hotel.

We actually decided to go to Macau on that afternoon, so we took a walk, stopped by to buy some parfumes (very cheap indeed) and stopped for a lunch. We had a sumptuous lunch in the Arabian Restaurant – it was incredibly delicious yet very expensive (I think most halal food is expensive in this kind of country). Then, walked 15 mins to Ferry station, hoping they were ferry still available at that time and we turned back to the nearest MRT station with the disappointment. Why? Because of that stupid rules stated that we have to pay for 1 year-old and above as same rate as adult, as if Sophie have to seat at her own seat. Which we think it was ridiculous, where we have to spend almost RM1K, for return tix to Macau. Cancelled it and return back to hotel.


Day 3
The day that Sophie and I waiting for!! Disneyland trip. We spent whole day to explore the Disneyland. Which I would say we unsuccessfully done that since we were tired to queue up for each games and tired in handling Sophie. Poor Sophie, she was restless, and we spent about ½ an hour done nothing since she was sleeping in my lap. Conclusion - enjoyable, excitement and explicitly amusing trip. You could see the pictures on the slideshow in the left panel of this blog. I couldn’t tell you more. But I can tell you this, Tokyo Disneyland much much better; even I’m not have yet the chance to go there.

Eventually, that night despite of very tiring day for us, we have done some shopping in Ladies Market, Mongkok. Very well and good price for us, caught an eye items, bargains a lot for some jewelries and cloths. Also encountered with some unkind and harsh vendor, which I would say it’s common in there and I was warned by Angah that that would happened. So none taken, we had what we wanted with a good price from other vendors. So I won’t mind at all. It’s exhausted as Sophie falls asleep while on our way back to hotel. What a cruel parents we were.. hahaha..

Day 4
Relax, spent most of the time in hotel while waiting to go back to KL, Malaysia. Home sweet home.. Nevertheless, what a very sweet moment of our 2nd anniversarry :)
