Hong Kong (Re-Visit)

April 3, 2012 – I thought of bringing a huge luggage but in the end my sister threw me a cabin luggage – easy to drag. By the time we reached airport, it was already 7PM. 5 years ago I was in Hong Kong, everything looks fresh and interesting but 5 years after, Hong Kong is still the same and that sense of excitement wasn't there anymore, perhaps just an urban city for shoppers and my trip was just about to relax with my other half. I was in a great depression for the entire March, so this is it. A trip that we have anticipated for months. Hey wait. I'm not finish yet! I feel that inflation rate in Hong Kong is a bit too high, from food to transportation, except for certain fashions or accessories – if you're able to find it in Mongkok or Sham Shui Po. Yet, again I love the food but didn't get to try those "Chow Tofu" cause I don't wanna scare her off haha.

This is our room,  a queen size bed. From our window, we're able to see ….

but I like to take photos and yes, long time no see!

I'm good here and there

but wait… this little kid need some MOJO!

He missed his bed I think. But I was able to find something unusual!

Yes! UFO Cup Noodle! Cannot comprehend such subject has turned into food on the shelf.

It's really hard to choose what to eat.. I mean yeah instant noodle and a variety of them!

I need some drink as always because walking is a lifestyle. We managed to sit in a cable car at Ngong Ping 360 which broke down on January 25 this year. We just got lucky on Good Friday. :) Operation resumes normal.

Those kids were excited heh

Keeping some smiles in the air

Gemma and ZZ

Enjoying the breeze

That's awesome, doing solo kayaking!

Yeah, utterly cold up there!

Where's me?

But sometimes the weather was not permitted and you get drizzle often.

This is a well-wishing tree, interesting.

Dai Yu San Buddha Statue

Ah, lovely tasty roasted goose! Yoomy! :) 5 Star!

Moving to downtown Hongkong island, we took a tram ride to Victoria Peak Station, just nearby the Lippo & HSBC Building.

HSBC on the left, Lippo on the right

Taking a tram in HK island is easy. Follow the colors on the sign board to your destination. It's relatively cheap for the ride with only HKD$2.40, paid by cash / coins or octopus card.

Well pretty classic in the tram alright.

This building is unique as always. spot on

Along our short walking distance to the tram queue.

Half way to the Victorian Peak.

It was still early but the wind was pretty darn strong and very cold that we cannot withstand for long. Didn't manage to stay long but at least this re-visit can be reminisce. 

I guess the wind was strong that caused the blurriness. Didn't hook on any tripod though.

Weather was gloomy!

Thanks to the helpful tourist from eastern europe. hehe

Always a mess on the hair

Behind us is South China Sea! Dang, I can't see a scenery just yet.

Guess what? We had Ha Zi Min! This plate is about HKD$42 with a bowl of soup! What's so special? Aint no full!

Night time @ HK piers.

Guess Apple fans out there went berserk when they saw this outlet, opened this year. The outlet is located on a bridge connected between IFC mall and IFC skyscraper.

Good morning again!

Breakfast! Breakfast @ Level 42 @ AVA Restaurant. Limited choice here as compared to the Lobby Floor Restaurant but that's a bird's eye view with your breakfast though.

Enjoying Breakfast

So unhealthy!

Now I started to like being a vegetarian. That bacon was awfully hard to bite on.

That's all folks! Thanks for viewing my short HK Stroll.

God Bless! Stay young and healthy!

Exercise more! Man you think of those food and I look @ my tummy! Ugh!

I just realized that I haven't got a shot with Lawrence. lol! OMG!

 

A thought

We're young , we're old and yesteryears seemed to be a sketch away from memories. The pressure and burden was felt, as heavy as a 12 ton rock gliding behind my back. When one reaches maturity of certain age, it is time for him/her to stay away from luxurious lifestyle and paying attention on the future instead. There's a moment you wondered why prison earth is an expensive place to stay in which 90% of the population is in debt and spending most of their lifetime paying their mortgage or loans. That's okay but why is it so hard to achieve what we desire in the first place? The balance of society is wreck because there's never a fair calculation in your line. The best way to keep you alive is struggle hustle juggle, till your very last breathe. But some people play smart in a way to deceit and gain, honesty in this world doesn't exist actually because lies co-existed before honesty took place.

Our 1st Anniversary

She claimed to be a bit bored! Ouch! But we re-visited Renn Thai @ Clarke Quay after we discovered that it's Thai food is the best in the region. Tasty and up to Thai cuisine standard but the price tag is a bit pricey. Anyway, glad she made it on week 2 of february in Lion land and we had a movie marathon just before that. My advice is not to have a movie marathon since because I caught headache after. Maybe my eyesight issue that cause the throb who knows. We do enjoy the food though. So enjoyed that you can forget the things around you. :D

 

在发呆哦!

This is what we ordered!

Yommy BBQ Squid. I think it was the sauce that made miracles :D

Same taste like the squid. This is BBQ Chicken!

Authentic Pineapple Rice! Juicy inside, topped with pork floss and prawn!

Our fav, Thai Satay with peanut sauce :)
