travel!! - love of my life :)

yippee yay! chanbrothers has finally gotten back with confirmation to my extension request!
So GREECE, here i come!
so looking forward to the greek islands, istanbul & capadoccia! though weather maybe a tad too cold for me over there, im sure i 'll fun anyway! *weeeeeee*

talking about travel, hubbi and i had just came back from HK!
its been a good 4 years since we last went there.
and boy, did i really shop this time round! :) not exactly alot alot per se. but i really enjoyed my 4D3N there.

day1:

someone should really tell SQ to upgrade their blanket design. *bleh*

our yummy brunch! flight food can be quite nice at times. esp when you are absolutely famished.
we had a quick bath upon reaching our hotel and hit the streets asap! though it was already 3+ by then, we still went ahead to grab a bite. hk food fare is good anytime, anywhere!

mongkok is absolutely fantastic to shop at. my second fav place to shop in HK, other than causeway bay!

my purchases for the 1st day!

Day 2:
Disneyland!!!! yup, i must admit that HK disneyland is really v v small compared to paris one. in fact, i read somewhere that paris is 4 times the size of HK one!
but still, being small (and v v new!) has its advantages. very manageable.
we managed to see all the shows and took (almost) all the rides there. :) and my fav is the 3D mickey show! very realistic! and having donald duck as the lead doesnt hurt one bit. donald duck is my fav!

halloween @ disneyland! :)

ah long and his fav buzz lightyear.

me & my fav donald duck!

my shopping!! i cant resist disneyland stuff, albeit super commercialised!

disneyland over there closes at 7pm (can you believe that?! crap.). so we went for some supper after that. HK desserts is really a hit-n-miss thing for me.
its a miss for this dessert - almond mixed with egg. urg..can you imagine its taste?
and its warm! yucky thing tastes worse if its warm. *bleh*


Day 3:

grabbed a yummy true-blue HK style breakfast before heading out!
very tiring day for us. first half of the day was spent shopping at causeway bay. despite the hot weather, and both of us feeling a bit under the weather, we pushed ourselves to shop, shop, shop!

and i discovered a great dessert! steamed milk! no kidding. it tasted so much better than how it looks like. *yummy*

in the evening, we went up the peak! nice view and cool up there!
and after that, we rushed back to Tsim Sha Tsui to watch the laser show at 8pm sharp. by then, my poor feet were like jelly. i didnt even have strength for supper that night. we just grabbed some snacks and headed back hotel to rot away.

my purchases for the day!
i love the bag!! :) and i cant stop buying shoes from HK! they are to-die-for! all in all i got 6 pairs from there! *yay*

Day 4:
what's HK without its dim sum! we had the most delicious dim sum brunch at this restaurant at London plaza. 7-8 plates only set us back a mere S$13!
yesh! u read me right. THIRTEEN BUCKS!!
crystal jade is a sham! lolz~


more last minute shopping for me despite checked out of hotel & luggage packed. *hiaks*
finally its back to HK airport for our flight to SG.

all in all its been a really good trip! hubbi & me thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
everyone should go HK!!

i hope my upcoming turkey+greece trip will be as satisfying too! :)
