Hong Kong Trip!

I am finally back from my 5 Day Hong Kong Trip! Had a really wonderful time over there with Xianan, AiPing, SuBing, Myself ,Chin Yee, PeiShan (From left to right in the winnie photo). Thanks to their wonderful company, we shop, ate and play till late night everyday. Those who say Hong Kong Disneyland is small is quite right. However, being small not necessary means it is not fun, we had a fabulous day down there and its like a dream come true for many of us who were there. Though it rained heavily for a while in the morning, the rest of the day was fine. We were fascinated by the decor in there as well as he products they sell. So exquisite and unique but the $$$ is also not as cheap. One small box of cookie can cost as much as 10 to 20 dollars. Yet as usual, I can't seem to get my hands off those Disney stuff and I spent about 300HK dollars in there.Special thanks to Pinky also for giving me Dale when I bought Chip to make them a pair. They are my most favourite characters in Walt Disney! Cute and funny.The queue for the ride wasn't very long also, we finish riding almost every ride in there. Space mountain was the most thrilling of all the ride, you can really scream your lungs out without anyone laughing or looking at you. My only regret is that Small World ride will only be completed next year and I don't have the luck to ride in it twice. ( Once in Japan and now in Hong Kong).
My shoe base and tip came off the first day when I went to the Peak and I have to drag my feet all day long until I bought a new pair of Converse Shoe at a Sports Shop after I came down. As a warning to those who will be going to HK Ladies Market, you should really cut the price they give by more than half to get a good price. They jack up the price by at least twice and many would cut the price themselves by about 30% when you walk off. Temple street is not so mercenary and you will find some cheap stuffs over there also.
A must try would be their dim shum, roast meat and wanton mee. Its entirely different from those in Singapore and in my opinion much tastier. If anyone is thinking about going to Ocean Park there, you may have to think twice because if you are not in for scary giant drop, or 360 degree turning roller coaster, its not much fun to be there. I was a little disappointed over there, especially so after being so amazed by Disneyland before that.
I will definitely go back to Hong Kong again. 乐在此,爱在此!
Backdating a little, on 23 July ( Peishan's Birthday Celebration), I finally learnt how to ride a bicycle under supervision of SuBing and Pinky after riding for half an hour to 1 hour at East Coast beach. :) Going riding this Sunday at Sentosa. Hope I learn how to brake then.
