Hong Kong Part 5
The last day in HK!
We only had a grace period of 3 days so we had to spend our time wisely! Like camwhoring in the pretty Disneyland themed hotel :O
That famous Hollywood sign... in HK. So J's hair grew so much longer already... This is how behind time I am :(
Those super old school cars. I wonder if it's drivable... Probably not.
It was supposed to be the "Welcome to my Hotel" pose but it looked more like some kind of goodbye greeting
And J? Instead of welcoming people it seems she's doing "I'm the boss.... Now.. Bow!"
Oh those precious times. That's it for Disney! I need to get out of the place for more of the real side of HK!!! We then headed down town just to grab curry fishballs!!!! :D:D

Hong Kong Part 4
Day 2 in Disneyland. We saw the scarfs for sale at the entrance so we quickly got ourselves one. This time we're smarter already. Cannot underestimate the weather really.
It was just so unfortunate that the day we arrived in HK was the coldest day of the year...
Defying gravity!
I really don't have much to say about Disneyland. Apart from the cute characters and the limited amount of rides they have. Due to my fear in thrill rides, that leaves me with very few options already. Dahlah Disneyland in HK is so small.. Oh well maybe I need to pump my balls.
After the long day in Disneyland with my practically doing almost thing (besides taking shitloads of photos), it's dinner time!!
The setting is for couples!!! It's just not very family oriented kind. It's a little too romantic for friends to go..
Food was OK but nothing special really. I would rather have Chinese food actually.
Which was why we had our dinner very quickly so we could go down town. Our initial plan was to go to Lan Kwai Fong...
However, due to time constraint, we ended up in erm, Jordan Road I think? I only remember we kept walking aimlessly thinking what to do. If we go to LKF we'll probably have to pay a bunch to get back into Disney Hotel plus we had to wake up early the next day so... too bad.
But it's OK! At least we drank a pint of Hoegarden and da bin lou for supper!
I can't even remember which shop was this. Hotpot restaurants are EVERYWHERE in HK!
It's just another small shop located in one of the streets. Who cares what street it is..
I'll have to admit that their food prices are so damn expensive!! Well I'm comparing it to KL's food prices (which I know I shouldn't). I think we paid about 200HKD for two person just for 2 pints of beer, 2 choices of meat and a plate of vege. Well good thing food was OK, apart from soup being too oily.
This is another MUST do in HK. Hot pot!
Back to Disney Hotel... Trains specially for Disney. How cute is that :O
So this sums up Day 2 in HK. ^_^

Hong Kong Part 3
So we had breakfast at the hotel's cafe... The theme of this cafe is the Enchanted Garden. It felt like I was entering some magical garden to see pixies haha.
Mickey Mouse pancakes and waffles... So cute I didn't want to eat it!! But I ended up eating despite the cutesy haha. Afterall, they will refill when it's gone.
The entrance of the cafe... It's a short corridor with pretty garden decorations... There's a mini fountain too. How I wish they have something like that in the UK! Maybe there is.. It's like the perfect place for afternoon tea! Pretty decos ^^
There were a few cartoon characters that came through.. Us and Goofy!
Daisy Duck!!!
For some reason those cartoon characters who were scheduled to walk around the cafe were not that friendly. I remember it was this Mickey who was absolutely horrible. I mean, you send these characters out so that people could snap photos and there you go, when we wanted to he literally walked off. Well I managed to get one for myself but Jerine couldn't because they refused to. Something like "time is up I'm leaving now". Wow yup as if it'll take 24 hours of your time to take one photo. We waited till he came to our area and that happened.Tainting my favourite character's image. Hmph.
We went to the garden after. There's this really huge garden area with a mini maze for kids.
Haha it's really for the kids. We can see the exit!! *Cheat
Towards the end of the maze there's this really nice view of the hotel. It's just super nice like some princess castle..
"Welcome to my castle"
As we walked further down, there's a mini gazebo in this little garden. There's this hugeass love arch! So pretty! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
The view of the garden from the hotel stairs. Felt like I just stepped into the fairy tale stories I've read when I was a kid ^_^
The downside are probably the people. It's the culture perhaps? Those people are so loud... Since this is the nearest Disneyland from Mainland China, it's natural to attract loads of tourists from China. I'm not condemning them, it's just that when they are in a group they are so loud and annoying... And because they are in a big group they think that entire compound belongs to them. I think there's no such thing as consideration in them. I just avoid walking into groups but unfortunately they are everywhere... The most disgusting scene was when people spat while walking. Oh my GOD.
Nevertheless it's not going to change the fact that Disneyland is beautiful!!! ;)

Hong Kong Part 2
What to do at night in Hong Kong when we are stuck in Disneyland? We had to wake up early the following day so our options are limited. Since we were already at Disneyland Hotel, might as well grab the opportunity to take photos! The setting of the hotel is so princessy! The castles and rooms in cartoons have now became real!
Well... This is Jerine. She has to "rule" every object in the photo!!! #likeaboss Poor Mickey!
Girls, tiaras, beautiful princessy settings and a camera. Good or bad thing?
So instead of boring photos only session, we attempted to create a storyline from the photos. I didn't write that though. Here's the full cover of the "story"!
I can't remember what exactly triggered us to create something like that. Perhaps it was the Sydney trip... And the "Sydney Street Fighter Story".
The making of the stories. I had to run up and down for J to snap these photos. Like a crazy woman!
I'm usually not the story teller.. I'm the SPOILER. ^_^ I wonder if anyone is interested in more stories like that.
Super nice chandelier! No matter how pretty it is, I don't think I want it in my house. It reminded me of Phantom's chandelier fall! Too scary!
On top of all these catching up with old updates, something interesting is happening in 8 days! CAN'T WAIT FOR IT ALREADY! Looking forward to create another interesting "story"! ^__^

Hong Kong Part 1
I was there for only 3 days, and 60% of my time went to Disneyland.... Unfortunately I never really get that chance to be in Hong Kong for a long time. The last time was just a few hours... At least I had 3 days this time.
This is the only Disneyland I've spent my time in the most, and made the most of out it. I've never had such cute buns before!!! I doubt you can get it in any other Disneylands :)
Disneyland is rather small compared the other Disneylands in the world.. However that was in Jan 2012, the park has already been extended since the last time I went.
Jerine brought me along, which was a bad choice! I didn't dare to go on thrill rides simply because... I'm scared... I still am, so don't ever drag me up.
Jerine blogged about it some time ago... Obviously you'll get more out from her posts since she had the balls to go on all the thrill rides. I went on most of the boring rides.... :P
However I did enjoy the shows.. Like this weird combination, Asian girl in blonde-haired wig. Lol.. She'd probably look better in cheongsam instead XD
I underestimated the weather in HK, it was pretty cold when we arrived. I did a weather check and it was about 10ish degrees and I thought, ahh nvm HK is never THAT cold. So I was WRONG!!!!!! Thank goodness Nicole lent me her blue scarf! Felt toasty after wrapping that around my neck. :)
Spot Jerine!! Obviously I dare not go up with her. Hahahahahahaha....
The pretty castle at night. It's small compared to the other Disneylands though. The one in Paris and Anaheim (I completely left out that post as well omg) are much larger ;O
We had dinner at Corner Cafe after... Click here for more pictures ^^
Gong Hei Fatt Choy! This hat is only available in HK I'm pretty sure! So 'Chinesey'!
Goodbye Disneyland! Not exactly, we came back the next day for even more rides. :O
