Hong Kong Day 3/4

Day 3 – Hong Kong Disneyland

Yumcha at Fum Loong Restaurant, a 24hour eatery along Mongkok before we head over to Sunny Bay

we ordered whatever food that comes with pictures cos we didn’t know how to read the chinese words! my fav dish has to be the black sesame paste bun.

the arcade below Argyle Centre. They have very interesting game concepts..

including this one that caught my attention!

the player has to coordinate a series of buttons to race their horses.

yt got himself a pair of shoes from fred perry at Langham.

our daily dessert fix at..

we happened to be the first customer of the day!!

replying smses for work.

entrance tickets

evening rose

today’s a happy day – even though i got home without buying anything that i set out to get (eg winter stuff)

the boy and i slacked around at his place till 4plus before going over to town. we had some great conversations that inititally i thought will stress him out but did not. ahh i don’t know. probably its the pressure of growing older by the days, i’m going to be 23 in a month’s time! that is friggin fast & OLD.

i am going to do some packing before monday arrives with more stress.

2 more days to Winter Wonderland!!!! 

Glitz

10 Dec – Ritz Carlton , SPBA Award Ceremony

The day started very early for us with YT coming over to my place at around 9ish where we drove to PP for breakfast and last minute hunt for my earrings and his belt cos he forgot to bring it over. All i could remember was that day was a mad rush.. i practically didn’t see the folks till 4pm as they were at the hotel earlier for rehearsals. We decided to take a cab to the salon and a bus to Raffles City for makeup and finally rushing back home to get changed!

i’m quite satisfied with the turnout of the styling cos initially i wanted to keep my bangs but the stylist said that it’ll be abit too informal for the occasion. so in the end i went with my fringe all tied back.

the dress after 2 weeks of fitting!!

the bow & details

i think momsie’s dress suits her perfectly too. overall, the dresses were very well made imo.

i went back to the same makeup artist that i booked for the press conference event! the first time i actually put on fake eyelashes

and we’re on our way!

papa and me in his cute bow tie and cumberband.

boyfriend and the crackers that he cannot stop munching on

the ballroom

a night of great memories and experience.

a night that i’ll never forget.

time.

things that i need to complete within this short weekend:

pack my luggage

get winter stuff like ear mufflers, beanies, gloves etc

go to the movies!!! (i can’t recall the last movie that i watched)

finish up Project Christmas! (90% done!)

blog/upload the piccas for the Gala dinner yesterday

clear up the mess in my room

hmmmmm…

what we’ve worked so hard for

the day that we’ve been all waiting for is here. all will be over by 11pm. the planning, making of gowns, interviews on straits times & zaobao, the filming video that i’ve yet to see, and the announcement of the overall winner.

i’m excited yet nervous at the same time. i’ll be on leave tomorrow!! so glad that the boy has also took leave to accompany me the whole day for make up and hair. we’re even going for breakfast early in the morning. probably to celede or coffee bean ? it feels great to wake up and have breakfast knowing that you don’t have to head back to work but to do stuff that makes you happy the whole day!!

i hope the advertisement & editorial turns out well in the papers tomorrow.

keeping my fingers crossed!

My December

these days its hard to even be able to take a breather cos work is intense especially when it comes to year end for me. we hardly or never take leave during the december period cos its when all projects are running at full swing.. but i’ve got a flight to catch on the 16th. i have yet to announce my departure to the boss cos i know he’s going to jump and flip if he knows anytime soon. hee. so i’m going to finish up as much work as i can before i take a short break!

some pictures from jess’s 21st birthday bash!!

all the other crankier photos such as this are on fb.

so excited for thursday!

Hong Kong Day 2

Its already 6 December! time really flies. i have so many pictures on my hand currently, if my laptop chooses to die on me anytime soon, i’ll be so devastated. i will be bringing my hard drive to Parkway either tomorrow or the day after to get the all the photos developed!

the weekend was spent preparing for our big day in 4 days time, and i tink i will need a day dedicated to get my accessories !! i can’t seem to find anything suitable.

Alrights, continuing with my Hong Kong adventure..

we’re up early .. made our way to Central Station for The Peak!!

we spotted this cute bus, there are other themes too!

at the heart of HK’s CBD.

we could “cut the queue” because we bought tickets for Mdm Tussauds too

on board the Peak Tram. the journey up was actually quite scary because the slope is reallllly steep.

our first stop was neither this..

nor this..

BUT ..

but to Bubba Gump to fill our hungry tummies!

the beautifully set up interiors

What we had :

the restaurant’s best seller

digging in!

stuffed prawns with crabs

cheesy hamburger

all that was left, we did our best!

moving on to the Sky Terrace for pictures!

the view from the top

the sun was so glaring we could barely open our eyes

<3

Next stop :

our touristy shots!

stepped into the world of the Rich & Famous,

we met Mr & Mrs Smith

serenading music to oops i-forgot-who

Eddie Murphy!

ahh aaron kwok!! *does the sakura dance*

sweetheart Ayumi

our very own LKY

heart throb Leon Lai!!!

rest of the photos up on FB.

after we have gotten tired of snapping pictures, we went for some Crepes!

we shared some choco almond flakes thingy

the rest of the day was spent at Causeway Bay Times Square and shopping at Granville Road TST.

all we did was to shop, walk, eat and the cycle continues.

i like this! (dan zai)

We had dinner along Mongkok at this place called Modern Toilet. Reason being the Japanese Restaurant that we wanted to try was on long queue.

2nd bad move – the food was terrible!!

to make up for the lousy dinner was good street finds..

Hong Ma’s chicken cubes. after we discovered this tasty snack, we went back for it everyday till we left. that explains why i’m back with a bad throat.

supper in the hotel! i’m still craving for their congee!!

-end of Day 2-

 

??

when will D ever find a good man?

Hong Kong Day 1

Day 1

I had barely 6 hours of sleep before my flight that morning. I was supposed to wake up at 5.15am.. but i overslept till 5.45am! thank goodness YT called to check if i was awake. The taxi was already waiting for me outside my house at 6am! ahh. everything was in a mad rush and i had a quick shower and headed to the airport.

Us!

waiting eagerly to board the plane.

on board cathay pacific, the flight was a smooth one and we even landed earlier than scheduled time.

 

the view is magnificent!!

my breakfast for the day. i chose the salted egg with porridge over the english breakfast, which proved to be a much better choice.

stupid YT was asleep half the time!! and i was killing time with the 8 Days he bought for me.

yay!! and we landed at HK Intl Airport. The weather is GREAT!!

across the mountains and bridges.. on the way to our hotel! it is situated very strategically, and we had to pass by this bridge to go over to Mongkok or the stations.

Our first stop of the day :

XIAO FEI YANG!!

we met up with Jess & Varenssa for yumcha ! the food was goooooood and the girls ordered so much i thought i was going to burst after the meal. heee

just a portion of the order.

so happy to meet up with Jess after such a long time.. then the girls brought us to Mongkok Exit D2, Argyle Centre!! the highly raved shopping place with cheap loots but i bought nothing from there. i guess its the season.. cos everything’s furry and thick!

the shopping there is really quite good if u’re looking for winter clothings. its super crowded on a weekend!!

there is this cute noodle shop (apparently the noodles are cold), where u get to select the ingredients you want and they will mix it up for you.

YT decided to give it a try. bad move- cos it is SUPER salty!  after awhile, the whole packet becomes a little soggy its actually quite disgusting. hee

 

went back to the hotel to drop our things and we’re off to Fa Yuen Street!

the busy night markets near our hotel

we stopped by for dinner at this authentic hk restaurant selling claypot rice. its so yummy!!

i tried the seafood fried noodles.

Ordered a bowl of wonton soup to share.

YT ordered the famous claypot rice. it is fabuloussss!

a glimpse of a typical roadside stall.

 

thats all for Day 1!! its practically just food and getting used to the places nearby.

be back with more pictures!
