HK Trip (Part II)

Went to Zouk last night. It's my 1st time there aft their renovation. Well, everything is the same except there are more deco plus a fountain in the toilet. B4 going, I was feeling sianz, probably bcos haven club for a long time and I guess the age is catching up. But I really enjoyed myself when I was there. Mamboo still rocks... Anyway, even though I din drink much, I could feel myself immersed in the music... I guess i will go again if there's chance and if i can get permission... Hee... Oh ya... I saw smthing disgusting. Saw two guys french kissing. They were right bside me when we were dancing. 1st time I saw gays kissing. Haiz..

Ok, as promised, I will continue to tell you more abt my HK trip... On the 2nd day in HK, we woke up early in the morning as SK's parents are早起的鸟儿. But in HK, 早起的鸟儿没虫吃. I realised that shops there dun open so early, they open only aft 11am. Well, I had no choice but to drag myself out of the bed and get prepared to set off to Lantau Hill to see the Giant Buddha. Well, I was super tired and feeling sick (caught a flu and kept sneezing) and so unluckily, we couldnt find any place to have our breakfast. Finally we had western breakfast at a Cha Can Ting 茶餐厅. The food there was so so only.. Aft breakfast, we set off to the MTR station. On our way there, we saw a Dim Sum restaurant and SK and his parents decided to have 2nd round of breakfast there. I almost puked.. Already I was feeling sick and the 1st round of breakfast was really oily that I really had no appetite for Dim Sum, regardless of how delicious it could be. I had no choice but to jus ate a piece of chestnut cake (my fav though). ( See photos)

Can you see how sick I looked?

Ok, finally we could set off to Lantau Hill. Took a long MTR ride to Tung Chung and transferred to an 1 hr bus ride to Ngong Ping Village (昂平). The bus ride was jus like the one we took to Genting Highlands, up hills and down hills. Feeling so sick and giddy aft the ride. Finally we reached our destination. The air there was so cooling and fresh... It actually made me feel better. The scenery there was wonderful too.. (See photos)

Mountains and mountains...

The statues

After seeing the Buddha, we headed to Mui Wo Ferry Terminal to take a Ferry to Central. On our way down the hill, there was a sign board saying "Beware of Cattles". I din see any though but my frend who was there saw. I guess bcos it's a village so tat's why there are cattles.

We wanted to go to The Peak at around 5pm but it was still early when we reached Central, so we went to a shopping mall (forgot the name) to R & R. As I did not have any lunch, we had Macdonalds there. Nothing different frm the one in Sg. A ft a quick bite, we had a walk at Zara, Mango and some other shops there to see if there were any great buy. The clothes at Zara are equally as expensive as the ones here... So we tooked a bus to the Peak Tram Terminal.

The experience at the peak tram uphill was amazing. We were like 45 degrees hanging in the air. I really dunno how to describe it. You really mus go there and experience it yourself. (See photos)

The Peak Tram and us...

Wow... the scenery at the Peak was more superb than the one at Lantau Hill. Nothing can describe how I felt then... (See photos)


Besides seeing the scenery and resting at the peak, SK and I bought tix to Madame Tussads Wax Museum while SK's parents walked around the shopping mall there. As it was jus opened, there werent many visitors. We took many (really alot) of photos there. All funny poses. But I was really happy. Haha.. (See photos) However, if SK's parents werent not waiting outside, we would have spend many hours in there.

Aft the peak, we took the tram back to Central and took a cab to Lai Kwai Fung 兰桂坊. Well, we din really walk aound Lai Kwai Fung cos SK's parents din seem interested and they were hungry and tired. So we reserved a table at the famous Roast Goose Restaurant at Wellingston St. As we had to wait for at least an hr for our table, we walked around the place but many shops were closed b4 9pm so there wasnt anything much for us to see. Haiz.. if only we could go Lai Kwai Fung instead. I heard frm my frends that it was a nice place. If only I could club there too... Aft an hr, we went back to the restuarant and ordered their famous goose 烧鹅and pork烧猪. (See photos) I found the food there not bad as compared to those at any Cha Can Ting茶餐厅 but SK's parents were complaining that the food was too oily and only so so.. They dun understand why so many pple queue up to eat here. But at least I dun mind spending more to eat better food. I guess we have diff taste then.


Supposed to go SoHo (South of Hollywood) but SK's parents were tired so we headed back to our hotel. However, managed to catch a glimpse of how the mid-levels escalator look like before we leave the place. (See photos). Check it out why it's called mid-levels escalator. It's interesting...


Actually SK's father were tired but his mum was still energetic so we decided to accompany his dad back to hotel first and I changed to my specs b4 accompany his mum to Temple St near our hotel. I felt quite bad to throw his dad alone in the hotel but SK said tat it would be fine.

Actually there wasnt anything much at Temple St so we went back to hotel empty handed. I wanted to buy a very nice, look sophiscated mirror there but the price was too high. Till now, I really regret not buying one back.

To be continued....

Ok, I shall stop here again. Feeling sleepy. Will continue to tell you more abt my trip in my next few posts.
