Dear Bloggie,

Hongkong Part 2

Even after editing all the photos.. I've got 105 photos to upload. Just as Mao² said on Facebook, I am really trigger happy.. anyway, this is Part 2 and also the final part to my 6D5N holiday in Hongkong!

Day 4 (3rd May)
Started our day early as we have a long day ahead!! Walk the very familiar street by now to the Hongkong China Ferry Terminal. Its just a 10-15min walk away from our Hotel.
Bought our single journey ticket from TST to Macau Ferry Terminal.. this cost us HKD 133.. And I got a exit chop from Hongkong!! Boyfriend cannot go hungry you know.. A hungry man is an angry man. So bought sandwitch for him at the 7-eleven. Chocolate Milk is for me~~* Boyfriend is a Kopi Man.. ^^

And with that.. we took the Ferry that lasted for 75min to Macau. See see!! A new chop in my Passport!! The first new country I visited this year!! We took a Public Bus from the Macau Ferry Terminal and went to... Senado Square. Upon reaching.. we soptted Yi Shun Diary (okie, I made up the name.. I'm not exactly sure what you call it). So we make a pit stop before starting our day proper.

This is a place famous for their steam milk and steam milk with egg. We ordered 1 of each to share.. and Boyfriend dont fancy much of the steam milk, hence I finish the whole bulk of it while he ate up the egg. Well.. I'm a sucker for milk (no pun intended), so I really like this. And we have our first taste of Fried Pork Bun in Macau; and ho ho~~* This is SUPER YUMMY!!

Us at the Steam Milk Shop... ^^Its a pretty warm day.. so I am just snapping as I walk. Visited a couple of Churches and walk through the main part of Senado Square. The whole place is very commercialized.. I cannot determine if I like it or not, but well.. So the both of us just walk and eat.. walk and eat. :p Boyfriend did a Egg Tart Testing and I'll post up the Best Egg Tart Post soon.. ^^Visited the very famous 大三八牌坊.. I have to say, all the buildings are all very nicely done up. But its more of a been there done that for us... :x So we continue to eat and walk.. eat and walk. Its truly a warm day.. and my feet is getting sore. I mean we've been walking alot for the past few days.. so after we covered most of the places on the map, we hop on to the Bus and venture to our next destination. The Macau Tower.. I had initially wanted to make a pit stop there. But decided not to as I am really tired of all the walking. =( Da dah~~* And we reach Venetian. The way I describe might have make the whole journey sounds easy.. but actually we spend alot of time trying to figure out the location of the Bus Stop and what is the correct Bus to take.. And even when we boarded the Bus we dare not put our guards down as we are afraid we might miss our stops. Its not helping when the Girlfriend dont have much 方向感 and we have to depend on my broken cantonese to get us through.

Anyway.. Venetian. It is indeed 金碧辉煌.. but everything seemed a little too grand that it felt man-made. Yupz.. I dont like it.

Took a quick snap of the Casino.. it is indeed HUGE. It is more spacious hence the overall feel is better then the Genting. I was a little hungry so we stopped at the Food court for some Jap food to share.

Anyway.. I know the err.. little boat is one of the iconic thing at Venetian. Nope, I didnt try coz we are rather low in cash (Boyfriend thinks I shopped a little too much). But I took the photos of some Japanese Ladies in the little boat. They kept asking the boat-rower (or what-ever-he-is-called) to sing. So that poor guy did open his mouth occastionally.. that did not satisfied the ladies and the Old Japanese Lady ended up singing herself!! She sang some Japanese Folksong that I dont understand.. but the clash of culture is so interesting. And of coz.. entertaining. ^^

Ermm.. more interior shots. A little too fake.. me no like.

Us at Venetian~*And then.. we took the free transport provided by Venetian back to Macau Ferry Terminal. So.. we headed back to the Ferry Terminal, bought the return tickets and got my new chop completed.

We hor.. kia si. It is 4:25pm when we reach the Terminal. The next Ferry to take off is at 4:45pm.. but we didnt dare to take as we read somewhere that it is safe to have a 30min buffer as check-in might take quite some time. But who knows.. checking-in is a breeze and we seated at the waiting area at 4:35pm watching people board the 4:45pm Ferry and we continue to stone till 4:00pm. -__-

So.. we took a Ferry back to Central (tickets at HKD 142) and it is much faster at 60min. Not wanting to waste more time.. we went to our next Destination. ^^

The Peak!! The other day we did not manage to go up as I start to feel unwell; so this time round we tried queuing again. The queue is much shorter as its a weekday.. so next time round, go on a weekday! Me + Love in the Tram up the Peak~~* Night is falling.. and I am freezing. Boyfriend found this restaurant at the Peak online with good reviews.. so we went there for Dinner. We got ourselves an out-door seats; but it proved too be too cold for me and there are flying moths.. so I requested to be shifted indoors instead.

Anyway.. my Carbonara is good! Boyfriend got himself a stone-bowl rice; but what is special is that the sauce on the rice is the spaghetti mince-meat sauce. Overall.. the food is very well-done. ^^

Saw GOD at the Peak.. Bestie love this shop. Walked around a little and bought a cute boxer for my Baby Brother. The mesmerizing nite view.. and I am freezing my nose off. 笑不出阿.. 冷死我了。So anyway.. we walked around TST a little more before calling it and early night. Boyfriend got no Shopping of the Day... :x So these are my purchases. Didnt buy much actually.. That China plate Boxer for Baby Brother and Chestnuts for Bestie's mummy. :p

I think.. I was up watching National Geographic and doze off in Boyfriend's arms once again. ^^

Day 5 (4th May)


Started our day.. slightly late. Tired lah you know.. Walked to TST.. spotted a Esprit Outlet near the HK China Ferry Terminal the day before. Passed by a Bakery and was so attracted to the loti so we settled our Brekkie here. Egg Tart Post coming up soon.. keke. But by the looks of it.. Boyfriend is loving his Egg Tart! It is still piping hot you know.. how to be not nice leh. ^^After our shopping trip at Espit.. we took a walk back to our Hotel to put the heavy shopping down. Anyway.. how can a HK Trip be w/o 徐留山?? So we stopped for some Dessert before we we go back to the Hotel. Keke.. Very yummy you know~* Anyway.. this is what has been keeping me in the Hotel. I am so loving National Geographic now.. so much so that I've been spending much time in Boyfriend house now watching it. :x After that 1 hour of National Geographic.. we finally make our way to Mong Kok - the ultimate Shopping Haven.So anyway.. at Mongkok. We just shopped and eat.. shopped and eat. We found the ultimate Shopping Haven that Boyfriend's friend has so kindly pointed to us. I guess.. we spend not less then 3 hours here and we ended up with many many shopping bags. I.. am truly tired. So we settled down at 美心 for a short break.. Bought a 八宝饭 to share. And.. we continue to 买东西、吃东西。。买东西、吃东西。Boyfriend was out searching for Toys.. and I see left see right, and I saw this so cute Little Twin Star!! Boyfriend bought it for me.. and this so cute thingy is hanging on my Camera now. ^^And hor.. we continue to 买东西、吃东西。。买东西、吃东西。Poor Boyfriend.. carrying all the Shopping Bags with his 招牌笑容. Keke.. He is really very very tired. My poor poor Darling. :x And hor.. this is not the end. After we put our Shopping down in the Hotel we took a walk to Miramar Shopping Centre and continue shopping. ^^And hor.. thou we've been snacking the entire day, but we have not ate a decent meal. So this is our last meal in HK - finished with the Best Egg Tart in HK. ^^And this is our Shopping for the Day!!! Boyfriend is happy today.. make it VERY HAPPY! He manage to get Toys.. but thn I know he wanted the other set too, but due to low in cash.. he have to 割爱 so I can continue shopping. And we bought Red Red Converse you know.. keke, Red Converse has been talking to me since the day we landed in HK.. and I got it cheap you know~*And with that.. we called it an early night. With Hipopo no less... ^^

Day 6 (5th May)I am up early.. and Boyfriend still sleeping. ^^ So finally got Boyfriend to wakie.. and I packed my luggage. Bought quite a bit.. had quite a bit of problem squeezing everything in. And once Boyfriend is done.. we went out for Brekkie! We made a trip to Yau Ma Tei.. There is this ever so famous Dim Sum Shop that is opened by a Michellin Star Chef.. It opened at 10am, we reached at 10:20am.. and we got a queue number that asked us back to come back at 3pm. Horrible isnt it. So.. we gave up and walk through a Market to get back to Mongkok. Hungry you know.. ate a Polo Bun. And.. went to a Dim Sum Restaurant that I frequent in HK. I believe the fare is not as good as the other one. But Boyfriend really like Dim Sum so die die got to let him have it before we leave the Land of Dim Sum. Thou.. we are full to the max; but we still swing by for some Dessert. My Sea Coconut Sago is very very good!! But why is it in white ah?? Since we're at Mongkok.. we made a final trip to H&M. ^^And we took a long long walk.. HK Government is really good.. they have this at the stairs for you visually handicap friends. I think its to let them know there is a flight of stairs. And.. we went to see the Sea and the Avenue of Stars~~* I like the photo of Boyfriend + Me... keke. ^^漫漫长路。。手牵着手。After which.. we made our way back to the MTR station. Another long long walk. Then.. we walk back to the Hotel and claim our luggage out.. Boyfriend very 宝贝his Toys.. We are going to handcarry back you know. Tsk tsk.. We took a cab to Kowloon Terminal and checked-in.While waiting for our Airport Express to the Airport.. Boyfriend cute hor~* keke.. And my legs are simply breaking by then. Our journey back to the Airport.. All checked-in.. Our final meal in HK.. Boyfriend said this is the Best Roosted Goose he ate in HK. Even better then the super expensive one in Central and guess what.. much cheaper. :x I am so missing our time back in HK... Beautiful Sunset.. ^^ Frankly lah.. CX serve better meals.

So.. we went with 2 luggages that weigh 20 kg, but come back with 4 luggages that total up close to 50kg. Boyfriend Papa + Mama came by to pick us up.. *sweet* With that it ended our 6D5N trip.

It has been a wonderful trip.. and I am so looking forward to our next. Thanks Boyfriend.. for everything k.. ^^
