买东西吃东西.iii

day…3…

my whole body aches from the ‘punishment’ i got from the shopping adventure on day 2… thou we managed to find a good seat (where practically we can see all the poor husbands looking after their kids while their wives shops), but handling melody is quite energy draining especially when she couldn’t settle down…

anyway, that was day 2… day 3 shouldn’t have any problem, the girls should shop enuff…

we were right on time for a hearty bfast at deli france… which is much cheaper and much tastier than those we get back home… while waiting for the foodie…

all full charged up after the bfast and off we go…

 

EAST TSIM SHA TSUI MTR to MONG KOK MTR

to my horror… shopping again!!! this time, high end products… jewelries shopping… i can hear myself swallowing saliva when joelle ‘venture’ to the diamond section after decided on a gold pendant for melody (a way overdue 1st b’day pressie that we owe her…)

enuff saliva swallowing, we decided to down our sorrows with something smooth … and cheap! BEER!

not melody of course!

 

next up, we went to this pasa malam place which i dun recall which station we alighted from… maybe the mind is cloudy with the beer… but this place is really crowded and hot!

and i realised all these fuss for this shop… thats making great tasty handmade 老婆饼 thingy…

this uncle is working hard at the stall… i wonder if there is any link between his sweaty body and the salty pie that he is handling there…

 

and thats pretty much to call for the day… too much walking, too much sweat… in the end, we took a cab ride back to the hotel… and went for dinner nearby the hotel and retired early for the nite, cuz tomolo… its DISNEYLAND!

day 2, woke up and found ourselves still at hongkong… its quite a tough day 1 as we settled in pretty late… apparently, hongkongers dun sleep… we can see long queues outside restaurants at midnight! dun these ppl need to work  tomorrow? and queuing for sushi at midnight?? hmmm…

anyways, there is no chance we can actually sleep late as our ‘alarm clocks’ are always up right on time… around 7am… hence joelle would settle melody while i settle megan, getting them ready for hongkong day 2…

 

PARK HOTEL

giving park hotel thumbs up for its cleanliness and location… lotsa shops and restaurants around it and most importantly, within walking distance to the metro…

and of course, the girls’ fav, the bathtub!

and all so ready to go…

 

PARK HOTEL to EAST TSIM SHA TSUI MTR

as i mentioned, within walking distance… and taking another look at hongkong streets… a contrast of old and new buildings…

here we are, the ticks for adult and child…

 

 

 

 

 

 

a very strikingly resemblance to our very own mrt back at home… and here we go… gosh, i dun even know where we are heading, cuz i dun have the energy or time to plan for it… oh ya, shopping at kowloon…

 

EAST TSIM SHA TSUI MTR to KOWLOON MTR

and the trick is, dun take the transit solution, just alight at Austin Station and walk to Kowloon…

walking on a very very long overhead bridge from Austin MTR to a shopping mall ELEMENT, that is just above Kowloon MTR…

 

 

 

 

 

 

and i dun believe we actually spent 4 hours in the ELEMENT shopping mall… and just one shop… the H&M… i dun remember how my BIL and me survived the wait while taking care of megan and melody…

you can’t imagine our relieve when the girls walked out with their shopping bags… and here’s the spoilt…

and thats about the whole day gone… and we went for a hotpot dinner… and to my delight, they got this!

long lost delicacy in singapore… 猪血!

a very hearty dinner and a very tiring day (especially when its shopping, i find it extremely tiring…) and i can’t wait to get back to the bed at the hotel room… no wait, we still have to settle megan and melody once we were back at the hotel room… Aaarrggghh!!!!

finally, we re bringing the girls out for a holiday abroad… frankly speaking, bringing the girls out is tough, even if its just within singapore. but this would not be possible if we’re not travelling with joelle’s siblings… all in all, 7 adults, 2 teenagers, 1 child, 2 toddlers…

oh ya, we’re going hong kong, if the title doesn’t ring a bell to ya…

having said that, its also megan and melody’s first travelling… and we have absolute zero idea of what to expect… especially their first flight!

more photos, less typings… watch out!

 

CHANGI AIRPORT

just in case, the pink luggage is ours… huge big and easily recognized…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLIGHT FROM SG TO HK

 

megan’s first bird eye view of the clouds… this time, instead of looking up at the clouds, she get to look down at the clouds!

 

 

 

 

 

 

HONGKONG AIRPORT TO PARK HOTEL

 

 

 

 

 

this reminded me of our PSA

 

 

 

OUR FIRST HONGKONG CUISINE

lunch at 稻香 restaurant… which i dun remember exactly where, but its within walking distance from our hotel…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OUR FIRST WALKABOUT

beers are just that cheap that my BIL cant help buying…

my SIL is so excited about the dessert shop behind…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and that wrap up our first day at hongkong… i would say, a very tiring day indeed… the girls are pretty ok on their first flight but we’re totally freaked out as its not really a pleasant flight for the 2 of us, having to entertain the 2 girls, having to change diaper for melody and bringing megan to the toilet, having to feed the girls… all these, done in a confined space… i’m so ready for the return flight… haha!

 

HONGKONG BY THE DAY
