______________________________________
It's been almost 13 years since I've last boarded a plane. That was when I was a Primary 4 student back at Jurong Primary School, taking a Singapore Airlines to Hong Kong too! Hong Kong changed a lot within these 13 years (of course!) and furthermore, they are now under ROC. Alright I shall breakdown my trip day by day. Loading of all the pictures might take sometime, be patient my friends! (:
17 November 2009, Tuesday, Day One.
Left the house at 5.00am! So early but we (my mom, dad, boyf and I) were still late as we do not have enough time to eat our breakfast!
Boyf with our luggages.
0640 to HongKong by JETSTAR.
Republic of Singapore Passports!
So excited.
First time taking Jetstar too, and it's really small. What to do, it's cheap!
Turkey Ham & Cheese Sandwich on board Jetstar. Taste weird & yucked.
Out from my window.
We reached Hong Kong International Airport at around 11.00am, supposed to be at 10.30am but there was some delay at Changi Airport runway. As Jetstar do not have a terminal at Hong Kong, so we alighted somewhere (it's really somewhere!) and took the shuttle service to their custom area. Guessed what, the weather was at a whopping 12 degree celsius!
That was really shiok!
Luggages collection time!
Random shot of HK Airport.
Seek assistance from their Customer Service at the airport and found out that A21 Citybus brings you to City, Yau Ma Tei (the area where we were staying!) at HKD33.00 and will take around 50 minutes. Airport Express brings you to City at HKD90.00, taking around 20 minutes. So that is the difference for paying more.
Just in time to hop on the bus when we reach the bustop.
Our Hotel for the five nights stay.
268 Shangi Street, Yau Ma Tei Kowloon, Hong KongClick here to visit their website.
Just renovated their rooms which made the SGD$350+ for five nights even more worthy.
Another shot of the room.Tip: Take up 2 Single Beds Room if you want to have a slightly bigger room.
Famous Hui Lau Shan Desserts opposite our Hotel. Famous for their Mango stuffs!
Headed off to Mong Kok after settling down. 
Layout of shops in this shopping centre was kind of confusing though.
Took a picture with their Christmas Decorations.
Christmas Deco.
Headed off to roam some streets around Mong Kok and proceed to Tsim Sha Shui.
♥ Love this picture and the backgrounds!
By the way, everyone was all wrapped up due to the cold weather! Probably in cold weathers, the sun set faster. The sky was already dark at around 6.15pm. Grabbed a fast dinner at McDonalds as we were not very hungry after Ajisen noodles at the Airport.
Avenue of Stars which was frigging cold and windy.
Pretty worn out by that time.
It was really very very cold and windy! It's kind of freezing there. We waited for the symphony of lights which was part of Tourism Attractions BUT it was fugging disappointing!!! Wasted my time there, I should have gone for more shopping instead. Headed back to Yau Ma Tei area to have our dinner at some roadside stalls which I have forgotten to bring my camera out. Roamed around Temple Street (just beside my hotel!) for awhile before going back to rest.
18 November 2009, Wednesday, Day Two.
Woke up at 9am and started off the day with breakfast at nearby 茶餐厅!
Very retro-ed design.
Everyone ♥ Milk Tea!
Pineapple Butter Bun.
Ham & Egg Sandwich.
That was really a light breakfast as we intend to have more food along the way. Took MTR (MRT for us in SG) to Tung Chung Station. Getting on the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car & finding The Buddha at Lantau Island was our mission for Day 2.
Crystal Cabin, glass-bottomed.
Looks scary.
Yes we were "scared". 
As if!
Love this picture taken with the tripod. (:
Captured a little too early.
Their famous VITA drinks.
Hello, here we come!
I'm panting yet never failed to pose! Haha.
Say Hello!
Whoa!
Lunch was vegetarian at Po Lin Monastery nearby there.
Veggie Soup which doesn't taste right for me.
Weird Taste Spring Rolls.
This is much better! Mushrooms and Veggie.

Don't know what is this. Some Veggie dish.
HKD60 per pax. Good to try but I won't try it again.
Cable Car by to Tung Chung Station where we loitered and shopped at Citygate.
♥
Posing with the cable car but not in time for mine to be taken. ):
We were well prepared to buy a lot of stuffs at Citygate but to our surprise, we bought nothing. It was either no sizes or the stuffs are really past season. Took MTR to meet up with my parents at Tseun Wan and visited our distant relatives there.
Typical corridors seen on HK drama.
Distant Relatives (two on the left side).
Dinner treat by them. There was a total of thirteen of us dining at this Restaurant at Jordon.
Looks expensive okay.
The man and the pig.
FYI: He kept turning the pig and for the few pictures that I've taken earlier were all blurred. When he realised that I was taking pictures, he stopped turning it and let me captured it. Good! I got to capture fast if not he will start turning again.
This was the pig in the previous picture.
Roasted Goose. Yumms.
Stirred Fried Abalone. Great!

They sent us home after that. Boyf and I decided to roam around the streets nearby before heading back to the hotel.
Yau Ma Tei Police Station nearby, so the hotel is at a safe area!
19 November 2009, Thursday, Day 3
Our hotel ain't that bad as we have this small travel agency booth at the lobby selling Ocean Park and Disney's tickets which will saves us time from all the queueings. In addition, they have a shuttle bus service that brings you from the hotel to the venue if you pay a little more.
We took up the package of HKD320 for a shuttle bus that brings you to Ocean Park right at your hotel doorstep which also includes visits to two more places as shown below.
Brings you to the HK Island, where this big JUMBO seafood restaurant is at.
