China Trip...?

hahaha yes yes I'm late with updating AGAIN. Anyway, before i start babbling more nonsense let start Day 2!!

Day 2 (ShenZhen City to Hong Kong City)

God I can't remember how long since I have to wake up THIS early! All of us have a 5:30 a.m. morning call! Reminds me of the highschool days where I have to wake at 5 in the morning... *sigh* ... so nostalgic... okay, okay, i'll get going with the activities then lol

We all have to wake up early because we are heading to the border of Shenzhen-Hong Kong its not too far... its just that we need to get breakfast and get going lol we took off to the immigration office with our guides we have to climb stairs... with our luggage! i guess that's what we call a morning exercise =.= and when we reached the entrance we have to wait for our tour guides from HK. They'll be crossing the border to mainland China to see us in lol but the tour guides from mainland can't crossover to HK without a visa. Its just like going to another country lol

Bought water and took pictures while waiting for them and when they're finally there, we were brought into the immigration office to let them check our visas and get out of mainland China lol. And so after we all did the visa thingy we all got on a tram bus and head to the HK...immigration office... =.= ugh... because we need to go into HK. I remember we wasted almost half a day going through immigration lol

I just remembered there's only a short bus ride from the mainland China border to the HK immigration office and then from the immigration office to a tram bus station and all of it are very very short rides lol. Probably it have something to do with... China driving on the wrong side of the road lol it took time getting used to lol HK drives on the same lane as us Malaysians lol so no problem at all.

And so... at around 11am i think... we all are ready to go for the HK tour! ....we didn't visit Disney Island... or the Ocean Sea Park... so...saaaadddd T^T...its because we only have a day to tour hong kong and we didn't have time to go see all those parks *sob*

uhh so we started the HK tour with lunch... and somehow I don't really remember what we had eaten...hmm... lol so after lunch we head to Repulse Bay, the bay where the people of HK fought against Pirates! Yaarr!! Hmm we passed by Jackie Chan's former house? lol and then we arrived at the Bay... its very beautiful, the sandy white beach... and the view is nice too (but i have to admit, Sabah's beach view is even nicer lol) we went to see statues of....uhh... Goddess of the Sea, Goddess of Mercy and the God of Wealth... hmm if I got it right lol~ after a photo up and smelling the sea...me and my mom heads back up to the entrance where, Ryan, our tour guide told us to go.

Back at the entrance, we saw a 7-11 shop and decided to shop a few snacks and drinks hahahah and i got myself a Haagen Daaz! Its actually pretty cheap in HK O.O i guess its because all of the stuff in Hk are... tax free lol Oh man... the ice cream....was gooooood lol I know I'll never buy it in KK coz its so dan expensive even for a small... cup =.= ugh

I think we went to Victoria's Peak next, all I can say is... the view is gorgeous! And the watches there extremely cheap! I wish i bought the HK T-shirt... ugh... there's always a next time i guess.... *super sad!* Victoria's Peak is a must see attraction of HK because i think its sorta like their landmark lol (but i think their landmarks are those very very very tall buildings)

Next was the Jewelery store lol to me there's really nothing much to see in a jewelery store lol because i guess i have no interest in it hahaha but its nice to see beautiful gems on the rings, bracelet...watches lol so yeah and that's about it lol and they teach you about white gold and how golds are made... stuff like that and you get to find out about your birthstone lol

oh i forgot to mention we are divided into 2 groups again.... throughout the whole trip lol

okay so next destination...was the Aberdeen Port... the Fishing village... where some of the people in hong kong live on their boats! so we went for a ride on one of the boats...its pretty interesting the lady told us (oh not all of us went...even the tour guide didn't come lol so this lady will be our tour guide hahaha) she had been living on the boat for...30 YEARS! omg... i can never live on a boat... a day or two maybe but 30 years? no i don't think so lol but anyway its quite interesting to know that people there still live in boats lol but as ryan had mentioned earlier before our arrival, the fisherman's village is going to be abolished soon... probably around 4 to 5 years time... it'll be gone from the map of HK.. well its certainly a sight to see...lol

.... i think the last destination is the....shopping street hahaha i'm having a hardtime remembering the street name but it is like Chow Kit Street in KL... a lot of stuff sold i guess i didn't get to see much coz my mom and i only went down for a....rest stop hahahaha and maybe looked at a few things... man my instinct told me to be careful that time... my heart was pounding...ugh... it was not a good feeling... and so we went back to the bus and there was someone following us... thank God the bus is near to us... if not we're gonna get in BIG trouble... he said he's going to Malaysia soon to teach at UM... can you believe that? OMG! What a load of crap seriously. *sigh* well the rest of the group shopped around for almost an hour lol me and my mom? we stayed in the bus lol we were pretty much shaken up because of the indian guy... he gives me the jeevies... =.=

and so after the little shopping spree we are headed to our hotel, the Panda Hotel! hahahaha where all the stuffed pandas are gathered (and there's two creepy ones by the piano...they keep watching me!!! yes i'm paranoid...mm hmmm...my mom rolled her eyes when i said this lol)

so we went up to our room...which was on the 26th/27th floor... OMG! OAO so...HIGH UP!! uuhhh well since my mom and i didn't get he chance to shop at the shopping street we did the shopping at the shopping mall which is...YES! right below of the hotel! weeeeeeee~~~ (bought two haagen daaz again XP so addictive!) we went to window shop basically... its almost 10 at night. we managed to buy perfumes and some other skin product at Sasa... they were having a clearance sale. and the for the rest of the shop... window shopping hahahah we stopped by 7-11 store...again lol to buy some water and...snacks hahah and then at exactly 10pm we went back to our room~~


end of Day 2 XD
