Co's HK Trip 07' ~ 9-12 August

Yeah im back! Haha.. had a happy and memorable trip! Sum up below!


1st day AM:
We had to arrive Changi Airport 6.20am latest.
Haha and surprisingly, im the 3rd to reach there. Considered very early. First was Helen, followed by Ah Hai.
Was afraid that i'll be late like last year's trip, i left the house abt 5.50am to fetch for cab. Haha it took me less than 5 mins and im already in the cab. Heading to CA, journey abt 15 mins. By the time i got there, it was only 6.10am.
Next we spotted Cindy haa.
Then waited for the rest..
Our flight was 8.05am.
Ok.. off we flew to HK!


1st day PM:
We arrived HK Airport @ abt 12.10pm.
Collect our luggages.. di-li-de-li awhile.. at the same time waiting for my Manager, Betty's daughter to join us.
All happy faces hehe. Yeah esp me!
Tour guide (Monica) came, took a coach to our hotel, Langham Place Hotel (Mongkok). Journey was abt 45 mins.
The first impression of our hotel.. Wow~ comfy and like the ambience very much, esp evening time. And it's directly linked to the shopping areas!
Not all of us can check in to our rooms, some rooms are not available yet. Had to wait until abt 4pm for most of the rooms. Lumped all the luggages in those few rooms and off to shop! Hehe..
Meeting 7.30pm @ the Lobby to go for dinner together!
Took the MTR to Jordon station for dinner. Forgot the name of that restaurant, but the food was not bad at all.
After dinner, some wanted to shop arnd there, while some of us went back. It was a tiring day haha..
Went back to our hotel and went G2000, colleagues wanted to have a look, big discounts! Cindy bought 2 tops i think.
Back to our rooms, bathe, blow dry hair and get ready for bed! Tired and eyes already wanna close during dinner. Haa. Plus abit not feeling well.
Our room 1521, king-sized bed shared with Lydia. Think those on lvl 11 got 2 single beds instead. Love our room, though it's not as spacious as our room in Bangkok. And the bathroom deco haa..


2nd day:
Breakfast meet up @ Lobby 7.15am.
Went to "Fu Yuan" nearby our hotel for dim-sum! Yummy manz! In fact we went 3 times haha.. twice for breakfast and once for dinner.
Macau.. took a ferry there. Nearly vomitted sia.. journey 1 hr. Felt giddy and nausea. Luckily Lydia bought "Wu Hua Guo". I took almost half bottle of it..
Took quite a lot of pictures during this Macau trip.
Stopped over to get some local snacks. Like "Lou Po Bang" (Lau Po Bing), "Gai Zai Bang" (Ji Zai Bing), almond cookies and so on..
But, Typhoon.. we had to take a very long route back. Haha.. this is most memorable manz..
Typhoon was @ 3rd stage when we wanted to head back. Hence, took bus to Zhu Hai and then another 3 hrs plus to Shen Zhen.. and changed MTR twice before we were back @ Mongkok station. Long way back haha. But real memorable, imagine all of us carry our barang barang and running here and there lolz!
Ok and finally back to Mongkok, time was already 10+pm.. but we were hungry and went for supper. Most of us had Wanton Mee.. super salty but nice! And the fried noodles not bad too.
Ok, supper done, back to our cosy rooms finally!
Oh ya, and Mr Lim arrived @ abt 8+pm today.


3rd day:
Went for breakfast @ "Fu Yuan" again! This time round we gathered @ the Lobby abt 9am. Sumptous Dim-Sum..
Yeah went to the Wax Museum and the Peak!! Wanted very much to go manz.. The peak was just a few lvls up the museum.
Took pictures with Jay Chou, Andy Lau, Lee Kuan Yew, Gandhi and so on.. Pix up later!
A group photo with Jackie Chan.
Hungry again and had some bites @ BK.. ordered nuggets but it was kid's meal haa.. free that Simpsons's baby girl. Got sound somemore.
Oh ya and mentioned of Simpsons, taken a pix with "live" Simpsons's son! Haha pix in Serene's cam. My cam totally no batt after the 2nd night! Remembered to bring everything but my cam charger ):
Gathered @ Lobby again at 7.30 for dinner @ "Fu Yuan". It's dinner now! Very very sumptous and huge servings they've got! We were super full! And think Ah Hai ate the most, not that he wanted, but all keep asking him to eat. Aiyo... but he sure can eat manz (:
Already struggling hard to finish the dishes on our table, Marcus, our young boss still passed over their "left-overs"~ Haa.. Cindy said ma jiam we are garbage..
Total 20 of us! 2 tables..
Supposed to go for dan-dan, it's a famous not-to-be-missed dessert in HK. Sort of steamed egg type but it's steamed milk this time. But too full.. all surrendered. Haa.
Had a very full and full of laughter dinner too!
In fact, almost during every meals there were laughter. Haha cos' there's Hock Beng (sales uncle).

After that, own free time again. Those who wanna shop go ahead. Went "Loi Yan Gai" (Nu Ren Jie).. sort of like Pasar Malam. shopped till abt 11.30pm then back hotel to rest.. Bought my Seven drawfs there! Hmm.. think there's also Nan Ren Jie there. But din get to go anyway. Not enuf time ): Haa.
Din get to eat dan-dan still. But had "Xu Liu Shan" mango dessert on the last day before we went back! There are two Xu Liu Shan branches near our hotel. Went with Cindy, Helen and Lydia. Hoho my treat!
Packed our luggages before going to bed.


Last day:
Lydia and me both wakey late today. 8.45am! Jumped out of bed haha.. While she's applying make-up, i go wash up bla bla.
Had to gather @ Lobby 9am. Full 20 of us again. Hee..
Had to walk further this time round. Maybe a few streets away ba..
At first going for dan-dan but it's not yet open for business. Missed it again. Settled down nearby for our breakfast.
Had "Fishball hor fun".. the soup base was real good. Huge serving. Mrs Lim rec this. Mei Choo ordered this too. We din finish it.
Back to hotel and gathered all our lugagges in Kok Peng's room before we went out again to shop.
Went to "Tsim Sha Tsui" (Jian Sha Zhui) after this with Helen, Cindy, Lydia, Serene & Mei Choo.. the Sogo there to look for the famous "Lou Po Bang". But in the end din get to buy it. Walked the whole stretch of "Xing Guang Da Dao" instead. It was drizzling manz.. haha we even bought a cap. Bad weather in HK slightly spoilt the shopping mood.
Ok almost time to head back to our hotel.
Thought i could finally rest my legs haha but Hock Beng wanted to get the drawfs for his daughter too.. Serene accompanied me to "Loi Yan Gai" to get it. And! we bought stuffs again! Haa.. Serene bought a pair of shoes and me soft toy again, the 10 chinese zodiac piggies!
Back to hotel and tried to stuff more things into my luggage. i've got 2 hand carry bags haha. Luckily Kok Peng helped me carry one.
Coach will be here abt 5pm to fetch us to the airport.
Haha running from Lobby to B2 and to Ground lvl.. and back to B2. Took pix @ the ground lvl with the two big round figures @ the entrance.
Off to airport and back to home sweet home!

Pictures up next!

Back to work today~ Ohh...
