Before we headed to the shopping centers, we went to have some dim sum for breakfast!
i'm not familiar with chinese food but i know everytime i go have dim sum, the aunties would order this and i love it~
yummy yummy food~
I didnt take many photos that day because we were mostly just walking around shops.
that morning, we went too early to Harbour City and most of the shops were not open yet... LOL. so we walked to H&M first but didnt end up buying anything.
Harbour City is huge and it was soooo tiring to walk from one end to the other. Plus there was so many shops and it was so confusing. We spend a lot of time just finding the shop we wanted to go to.
But we managed to go to American Apparel and they had a sale going on! I only bought a singlet for my bro which i ended up borrowing to wear last Sunday LOL. it looked really nice but i dunno why Thaniel doesnt seem to like it or maybe he just hasnt found the right occasion to wear it yet.
We were really hungry by 2pm, so we had lunch at a fast food restaurant called Cafe de Coral (if i didnt rmb wrongly XD). it was nice to finally sit down!!! my legs were alr tired half-way through the day.
I managed to buy this!!! Liole's BB Cream~~~
I've been looking this forever~~~ i saw missglamorazzi raving about it about a year or two ago and have been wanting to find it ever since. i actually found it in Sunway Pyramid's Muse just a few days before our trip and it was RM79.9 (i think)! and i was like, NO! I would not allow myself to spend so much money before i go to HK! so, i told myself that if i have extra money when i come back from my trip, i'll go buy it.
but guess how much i bought this at ColourMix in Harbour City??? it was on a sale where if you buy two, you get a discount. both Yx and I bought one each and we only paid HK$96 each. convert over to ringgit is RM40!!! dont you just love a sale??? >__<
i've used it twice now and i'm loving it~~~
this was an excess purchase. TT___TT i dont want to talk about it.... the sales girl kinda pushed me into buying it but i wanted it myself too. so cant put the blame all on her. i havent heard of this brand before but when the lady tested out the cleanser on my hand, it worked amazingly! and i really wanted the cleanser!!! but it was too expensive.... so i bought this serum instead.... now i kinda regret buying it....
After lunch, we actually went back to our guesthouse for a bit to use the wifi.
I really wanted to find a Nature Republic store because i really wanted one of their lipsticks i saw in Macau but failed in finding one.... TT___TT instead, we headed to Sasa and i managed to find one that i liked but when i came home, i realized it wasnt as natural and casual-looking as i wanted it to be, so i'll need to hunt for another shade when i go shopping the next time....
after some walking around the shops, we continued walking and headed towards the promenade!
On our way there, we passed by The Peninsula. i once went to their website to check out the room rates and i think their rates start from at least HK$4500..... yikes...
we also passed by 1881 Heritage!
the clock tower by the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade!
the beautiful sunset~ this was when it was more windy and the weather was getting cooler.
tried the panorama view thing again~ not as blurry as before!
the view of HK's skyline during day time!
we sat at the promenade for about half an hour because we were so tired and we couldnt decide on whether to stay till 8pm for the light show. We then decided to walk towards the Avenue of Stars~
added my feet into the photo so that it doesnt look like any other photo of these hand prints you'll find online. LOL
blurry candid photo of us. kekeke we got thirsty and we found a vending machine and bought Vitasoy!
the light show was okay... not that interesting but the lights were really nice~~~~
from a blog, the blogger wrote that we should thank those hard-working workers who works over time so that the lights in their offices will still be on and we can get this amazing night view~ LOL
The Peninsula at night~
after the light show was over, we made our way over to Mong Kok which is said to be "the most congested shopping and residential district". it was really crowded..... i couldnt even take many photos due to the crowd.
some street entertainers singing some old-school songs and all the auntie and uncles where dancing on the street! that's definitely a view you dont get to see everyday!
We walked along all the night markets and bought something to eat! i bought these chocolate flavoured ้่ไป which wasnt very chocolatey at all.
We also bought some phone cases and failed to bargain with the shop owners. we did witness a korean trying to bargain but ended up walking away and being cussed by the shop owner LOL.
We were also very thirsty by that time and wanted to find somewhere to sit and have a drink but it was so hard to find a place where there were tables. most of them were stalls so we went to Hui Lau Shan again~
after that, we went back to our guesthouse as we were so damn tired.
my legs hurt the most that night, even just laying my legs on the bed hurt. TT___TT
DAY 5! Last day of our trip..... :(((
Despite the very hot weather, i had a really great time seeing and experiencing a different culture for a few days. and about the experience with Cantonese.... fyi, i cant speak or understand Cantonese. So i had a hard time understanding what ppl were saying on this trip. i always had to awkwardly tell ppl who talked to me in Cantonese that i couldnt understand them. but there were times where i tried to understand them first but obviously failed. XD
another thing was that I dont think we really tried a lot of food while we traveling. The both of us didnt get hungry very often. LOL we didnt have fixed meals, we just ate whenever we felt like it.
Anyhow.... in the morning of our last day, we had breakfast at another local fast-food chain named Fairwood! i guess these are the places most local ppl eat at.
i must say that their fish fillet is better than a lot of other fish fillets (that are around the same price range) i've eaten in Msia.
back at our guesthouse, this happened. LOL it actually happened everytime we tried to enter our room. there was something weird with our door knob. no matter how many times the both of us tried o unlock it, it just wouldnt! and we had to ask the admin at the desk to help us and they unlocked the door so effortlessly with just one try! i dunno what went wrong LOL
at 11am, we gathered our stuff and checked-out of our guesthouse.
and left for Macau again!
took the ferry back to Macau~
we took the Venetian's shuttle bus back to The Venetian because Yx wanted to buy some souvenirs.
on the way there, we had the chance of an overview of the beautiful scenery of Macau again. we passed by Macau Tower again~
Maybe because it was a Friday, The Venetian was packed with ppl. It was so scary, ppl every where!
We wanted to stay a bit longer and walk around but there was too many ppl around so we decided to go straight to the airport. Took a shuttle bus from Sheraton Hotel to the airport~ I'm really thankful for those shuttle buses hahahaha we managed to save so much on transport!
We had McDeees at the airport~ and a funny thing happened, okay, maybe not that funny, but Yx lost a bag of souvenirs that she just bought at The Venetian while we were going through immigration.
We were just mentioning while we were having lunch that our trip was quite successful, we didnt really get lost and nothing bad happened. and i think that jinxed us. LOL
Yx did try to go find it but, according to her, the officers there were very fierce so she didnt manage to find it.
other than that, i can say that our trip was quite successful!
Before we went on this trip, whenever we mentioned to anyone that we were going to Macau and HK, just the two of us, ppl will be like, "wah, you two must be careful leh!" my mum and my uncle worried a lot too. but we had each other, so we werent so worried ourselves, not until a few days before our trip at least kekeke. but truthfully, when you have someone with you, you dont worry as much. and i must say, besides the fact that we are both very indecisive, it was nice traveling with just the two of us. Turned out, Yx is a lot better with directions than i am hahaha. and i really hope we get to travel to somewhere else again one day!
The last selca we took at LCCT before we got into our taxi and headed back to Subang...
and apparently, LCCT's taxi counters closes at around 11pm, so if you ever travel late at night like we did, make sure you arrange your transport, or else you'll need to get a taxi outside the airport and it will cost you a lot.
oh, and a funny thing that happened at the airport... while we were waiting for our taxi to arrive, we went to Old Town to have a cup of coffee. and when I went to order, the waiter talked to me in Malay... I was like, in Macau and HK, ppl talk to me in Cantonese and once i'm back in Msia, ppl talk to me in malay. and i know, you're most probably saying that i'm back in msia, definitely ppl speak malay lah! but the waiter was chinese.... he spoke to the guy in front of me in chinese and he talked to me in malay.... he thought i was malay.... TT_____TT whatever though... i'm used to it alr.
So... that's the end of my posts on my June 2013 vacation~~~~
I kept procrastinating and spent a lot of time editing my photos.... but finally, they're all up now!
