donut's bday and recent updates

So it's been a long time since i updated..cos i took so long to blog about hong kong. And partly also becos--> i'm lazy.

Donut's bday on the 21st of July. We went to doby to watch movies in the afternoon. We bought the tako yaki from the Japanese fair...so let's follow zhong yi da ge da...ooh...ahhh...yumm...

Tried the mango cum durian ice there. Wasn't really fantastic, cos the mango is still sour. sobs..i miss hong kong's xu liu shan!!

Dinner was settled at conrad hotel. In the room?! of course NOT! We had the durian buffet dinner. Was disappointed cos it was said online that they serve real fresh durian, but i didn't see any the whole night. The durian desserts were a mix of average and below average. i guess the best for me was the grilled prawns (superbly juicy and yummy) the squid and the durian cream cake. Other than that i wouldn't recommend it. I didn't know that there were

gonna be a lot of people, so i didn't make reservations, and we had to sit at the smoking area. Luckily, many were in the same fate as us, so at least i didn't suffer from 2nd hand smoke.
I like this one the best...so cute..

Recently, we went to eat at ma maison. My treat. Well the food was nice, but not exceptionally nice..but the ambience is damn good... the menu is so classythis was nice..cheesy..my favouritethey even have keys for you to use to get ur bill.

James thinks it's not filling at all...while for me it was just nice. Very expensive though...

Hong Kong day 4 ~ 4th of July

Yes...finally and so soon...we've reached the last day of my hong kong trip. I really felt that 4 days is really too short. Well first...talking about last night..of course the night didn't end just with going to disneyland. We went to mongkok for dinner, (aka hong kong bake rice. Thumbs up!)before going to ladies street in search for miss sixty jeans. 皇天不负有心人！终于给我找到了！！Bargain and bargain and i finally got the price of lower than $25 each for 4 pairs of them. I think they are really nice. And believe me, i went to check out the price in the shopping malls..a simple shirt cos $100 SGD!! i'm like OMG!!!

After which, it was a rewarding dessert from 许留山。。。totally HEAVEN! Couldn't decide which to eat cos all of them look so nice and the most important thing is - it's my favourite MANGO DESSERT! James bought a birdnest mango dessert back to the hotel-my treat, to reward him for accompanying me to ladies street after a long day with painful legs.

then it's ASG!!! Yes...they are here in hong kong in the same hotel. hehe...left them a letter in the morning at the lobby for them. Met them at night in their rooms. So nice to meet them in hong kong. Though we didn't get to go out together. Cos they are there only on my 2nd last day. Had a nice photo taking session..small catch up.

Me with dear shuet lingAfter packing our stuffs and checking through, we are ready to check out of our hotels. Time to meet ting and lix to ocean park. Our last destination before going back to singapore.Despite being late...they manage to be later than us cos their bus down hill took very long to come. So we had time for brunch.. A very nice brunch i should say. I really love the hong kong 茶餐厅..very nice. And they have my favourite luncheon meat! Yummy...the 奶茶is also ichiban.

His set comes with nice carrot cake..in the 茶餐厅we are always so spoilt for choice..heheAfter a nice brunch...we bought a tix and finally met the two gals. Here we are at ocean park! It's really very fun. I feel it's much more worth while than disneyland. The rides are more exciting..hehe..though i only have 4 hours there too..As you can see. The SUN is still so SHINY bright!! AKA super HOT day! I've got loads of pic...so i'll try to let the pics do the talk.

There's actually flamingos behind us oh!!Welcome to ocean park.This is really cute..hehe..The roller coaste on on a hill...really SCARY!

We went up the tower and the view is gorgeous..Manage to catch the animal show and trust me...they are superb! The seals and dolphins are so super duperly cute..and the have a storyline behind the how show.Ever seen dolphins swimming hand in hand with human?? Its so nice...and graceful
And that's the end of an exciting show...with the dolphins waving goodbye!
Look how enjoy and relax the seal is in the water...don't you wish you could just join in..in such red hot sunny day??Seal= graceful? Never occur to me before untill nowBye bye..
Then it's off to the treacherous mine roller coaster ride...queued for nearly an hourJames wouldn't try...so the silly boy stood under the hot sun waiting for us to take the ride so that he could help us take photos..silly boy...just realise the pics are with yi ting!
By the way those are jellyfishes behind us...not mushroom!This is very very big...
sharks lurking below...colourful colourful fishies!stilty fishAnd it's time to head down hill. James keep saying that i lie to him..cos he thot no more cable car. But how did i noe the way down is by cable car??It's free anyway...so he had no choiceNotice the seahorse? It's the symbol for ocean park. Y the seahorse out of so many creatures you ask? That's because the ocean park was initially heavily sponsored by the happy valley ie the horse racing company. Hence the seahorse as symbol. However, now it's fully privatised already.

Though i was running late, i insisted on seeing the panda before i leave..this is 佳佳熊猫

Grab a souvenior and it's time to hurry and rush.

The not very lucky us, met with traffic jam. Took a cab back and we were 15 mins late from our pick up time. So sorry to make the whole bus wait for us. But i didn't regret going to ocean park. And we reach the airport in no time..check in our luggage and do some last minute souvenior shopping. SOmehow, we both mistook the latest boarding time for the gate opening time. We ran from the departure hall, took the mtr, ran all the way with lao po bing on james hand to our flight. It was already showing last call when we were waiting for the MTR. I gotta say, i was scared, yet a little voice in me tells me, if i missed the flight, i'll have one more day in hong kong. Alright, i noe there may be penalty fees, but i really wished i had more time in hong kong. The kind of freedom you get, doing what you want, not having to worry about anything, just go wherever you want is really - shiok! In short, i didn't get to shop enough, eat enough dim sum, didn't eat enough desserts!! AND i think my holiday in short is TOO SHORT!!

Well, i really had a great time in Hong Kong though...thanks to the great company i had. THese are all my gains...And not forgetting the superbly great lao po bing nad almond biscuits that i lugged back. Yup...tt's the end of my four days trip to hong kong with donut.

To donut: Thank you for your understanding and patience, tolerating my wilfullness and trying your best to let me get the most out of the whole trip!
