Days are passing fast, very very fast... It is already the last month of year 2016... It has been a great year, or a year full of milestones and changes i would say...
For me, my status from a student to a working adult would be the most significant change in 2016... Am a chemist right now, working in a small company with all friendly & helpful colleagues, am paid with a salary not high enough to get anything too luxury but a little better than the average offer in this field which i am more than grateful considered the current economy of our country...
December marks the third month of me working here, don't know if i like my job yet, since i always think my life is getting shorter with every inhalation of the awfully smelly chemicals or with the accidental skin contact of toxic and corrosive substances...
This blog is supposed to be my second Hong Kong trip after 8 years but i guess i'll just mention everything a little to make up for the missing diaries last two months, hehe...
It seemed to me that i've traveled much enough this year, locally or oversea... I've been to Taiwan, Singapore then Hong Kong; Melacca, Penang, Johor, Cameron Highland & i lost count... They were not fancy expensive trips but more than enough to have good memories created for the year... :)
As for the Hong Kong trip... Erm....Where do i start... Ok, Fluffy went on 15th of November, it was Tuesday... I just started my work & was still under probation i dare not to take too many leaves so i joined him on 17th of November which was Thursday then we would come back to M'sia together on 20th November, Sunday...
I wasn't alone though, Ceci was with me... We are both 9 to 5 white collars, unlike our entrepreneur boyfriends, we had "leaves concern", haha... We two dummies were late for boarding,erm... to be exact, we were just in time to get on the plane, not late yet,haha... because we simply walked without knowing which gate we were supposed to go which we went to the opposite gate then had to turn around & ran towards to right one...
Had a very lovely to & fro flight experience, haha... A handsome British *i know he was British because i overheard him talking with the passenger sat next to him* helped me with my luggage & we exchanged smile, hahahaha... When i was at Hong Kong airport walking towards to boarding gate back to Msia, my boarding pass slipped & dropped on the floor while i had no clue at all...
It was lucky of me that someone *a very good-looking blonde guy, hahaha* actually saw, picked it up & ran to return me my super important boarding pass... Don't know what would happen if i lost it, so scary >.< ... Fluffy gave me 360 degree eye-roll, haha...
Ok... Day 1, 17th November 2016
It was already past noon when we touched down, had local famous steamed milk & a beef macaroni soup from this well-known YeeShun Diary Company before we got ready for the company annual dinner...
Tada... It looked so simple but tasted really good... I always wonder how they manage to have the beef cooked so tender & soft & nice to chew...
Pictures from the dinner...
They went for a drink after that but i chose to have a good sleep at hotel because first i never like alcohol or place like that, second i think i need to be their physical alarm as the trip next day was fairly important, haha...
Day 2, 18th November 2016
Its Disney day!!! Even though i went before, the excitement was still there, would never ever be able to get rid of this Disney fever... Didn't get to take a picture with the princesses before & i promised to myself this time i needed to get this off my bucket list...
Was such a coincidence the last time i visited HK Disneyland, it was around Christmas *my favorite festival*, this time too... The whole park was sparkling decorated with Christmas tree & ornaments & lights... The snowing at the main street & Christmas tree lighting event were all there... Memories flashed...
Ok, lazy bug me is gonna let pictures do the talking again...
Us in the Disney train...
The parade... This Disney princess fan girl waved so hard to the princesses...
This is how the sleeping beauty's castle looks like at night, definitely as stunning...
Tada!!!! Finally got my wished granted after 8 years... I almost cried, no kidding... She's so beautiful & elegant, the way she spoke & her every move were exactly like how a princess would behave... She asked if Fluffy was my prince, i nodded then she replied : "Awww..that's so sweet, my prince is waiting for me at my castle too you make me miss him so much..."
Likey this candid shot so much i decided to post it despite the fake height difference, haha...
The most anticipation would definitely go to their firework at 8pm... The most amazing & dreamy firework i've ever enjoyed... With stories of Disney princesses projected at the Sleeping Beauty's Castle, with all the familiar Disney theme songs playing, the firework show brought me into Disney itself, like i live in it... Never ever felt so close to Disney... Am extremely grateful that i got to experience this twice, promised there will be more Disneyland adventures to come...
Had Ichiran ramen as supper... Know its Chilam favorite & always thought i would bump into him when i went visited, haha... We went to the Tsim Tsa Tsui outlet but i guess Chilam most likely likes to go to the Causeway Bay one...
Erm.... Ichiran is similar to Ippudo, with lesser options of soup flavor... Actually, they have only one flavor but you can choose how do you like the concentration or heaviness, the texture of the noodles, onions or no, how spicy do you prefer it to be... Conclusion: I like Ichiran's noodles better but Ippudo's soup better... The boys didn't think so though, they were all crazy about Ichiran, haha...
Day 3, 19th November 2016
Its the day to Macau... I've been to Hong Kong before but not Macau... This was my first time & was truly thrilled...
Pictures time again..... Beware, I only know to pose for a photo but i'm super terrible as a photographer i failed 1000 times...
Venetian Macau, which was our first stop... This is the main hotel lobby area... It absolutely looks 10382035 times more magnificent & grand in real *told you about my photographing skill, even i was shocked at how i was managed to have this pretty piece of architecture taken so dull & ordinary like this...*
This is the shopping area... Canals with gondola's & singing gondoliers, painted blue skies, replica's of facades of Venetian buildings & bridges... These all added to the charm of the interior... If you didn't know about the artificial blue skies at first, i don't think people will even notice its fake...
AND... This is so good to tell that i dedicated my very first time of entering a casino to Venetian Casino, i mean its outside of M'sia its something to be bragged about right, haha... Didn't stay long in there though, just to walk around & have a look...
Tada!!! The best known landmark in Macau: Ruins of St Paul's... It was larger & taller than i thought... Again, i thought i would bump into Chilam once i was there because of this tvb drama 澳门街, haha... If you have forgotten, how about the movie namely Return of the Cuckoo, ring a bell?
Couldn't believe i came here for real i needed to touch it to make sure i wasn't dreaming, haha... In comparison to my body size, can you see how magnificently grand it is now?
Sitting on the stairs eating their popular Portuguese tarts accentuated everything, the feel the atmosphere the experience...
Hello 巨轮...Spot 罗信记 at the left corner... :)
Tomato fried egg with beef... My supper of the day.. This was genuinely good!!! *my description is getting lousier & lousier i know haha...*
Day 4, 20th November 2016
It the day to go back to reality, so so so so fast... Before heading to airport, had our last HK significant dimsum breakfast at Tseung Kwan O 将军澳...
Mong Kok street in the morning...
My HK trip has already came to an end... Didn't have & am not going to make a to-do-list or even a new year resolution for 2017, just hope i could get more chances to travel to different countries & to lead a happy simple life, that's all... :)
