Xiu's HONGKONG trip Part 1~~~

Oooops! I know that im suppose to blog about my Korea trip which happened in December 2013 but when I look at the amount of photos i have to upload, I decided to blog about my hongkong trip first cus there is relatively lesser pictures there (due to the shorter duration i stayed there) 

Got meet w some suay stuff but im not gonna mention them here!! (I think i got mention them before but this is a happy post so nahhhh, not suay stuff!)

First and foremost! Lemme introduce to you my travelling partners!!!

This is Paula!! She's a korean but i know her in Singapore. 

And this is Emily! My uni BFF!

We took SQ to hongkong cus its on promo fare! the flight is like $294 to n fro Hongkong! Cheap or wad??
Cus we took the afternoon flight, by the time we checked in to the hotel and come out, its already time for dinner! So we went to the street behind us to have our dinner!

Ever since the HK trip i went during 2009 with NTUCO, i have been missing beef curry tendon cus its just soso delicious! and when i saw a famous curry beef tendon shop, I went crazy and told them I wan to eat that and they agreed!!!

How do i know that its famous?? Cus the shop is pasted with loads of celebrity photo including my newest favourite idol GEM TANG!! Omg! i super super love her rendition of 'Long Juan Feng' and her voice is~ wooots!

This is me and my beef curry tendon! And im donned in purple tt day! I like pastel colour! LOL!

 Ooops, din manage to take photo of their food cus we were simply too hungry i guess so we gobbled down the food the moment we saw it! Paula had curry beef tendon noodle and Emily, wanton mee. Their wanton is rili shiok max! the prawn is like soooo succulent and fresh!! *im hungry now*

after dinner we went to the shopping street behind our hotel and did mini shopping!

This is the famous bai jia wei which emily introduced us!

Since we just had dinner, emily just buy 1 and we share! Very unique! I like~
After this then we went back to hotel to unpack our stuff. Oh yah, we stayed at King de Nathan Hotel's triple room which is just a 5mins walk away from Yau Ma Tei station! the room is about 200/night and is booked from Agoda.com!

The next morning!!! we had breakfast at a local char chan teng! and I super love the details of this cup so no matter what, I have to take a photo of it!

Emily and her can mian! which is maggie noodle w luncheon meat and egg!

Thats me and my ham n cheese macaroni w toast set!

Thats paula with her sandwich!!

After dinner, off we go to DA YU SAN!
All thanks to emily who have the route planned out for us already! she's like the master planner. we just need to follow to her smartly planned scheduled can liao!

Thats us on the train! As per what emily has planned, we were very on time!

Toilet shots!

Solo shot! I had clio lipnicure on! Totally love the colour but it will make my lips dry! so must rili moisturize it

 Anyway, tips for you guys! Do you all know that you can actually purchase the cable car tickets online? Not only is it convenient, there is an 10% discount if you buy the package of one way crystal cabin and one way normal cabin! But the downside is that u die die have to go on the day u buy if not its invalid. means no changing of itinerary in short?

And boy, we were SO SO SO glad that we bought! Cus when we reach the admission ticketing booth. I only have 4 words to say: PEOPLE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE SEA

and this sign greeted me: Approximate waiting time to counter: 1.5hr

HENG AR! i bought online, so i showed the paper e-ticket to the staff and they let me walk in all the way. then we found ourselves at the tour group queue. Then I still find something strange cus stilll needa wait for 30mins more cus there is quite a number of tour grps infront of me! So i asked them to stay in the queue and I went to check out other counter. AND I SAW A ONLINE TICKETING BOOTH (and there is no queue at all)!!!! and just so lucky that the e-ticket is with me so i exchange it for our tickets then i signalled emily and paula to come out of the queue and we proceeded to queue to board the cabin.

So people, PLS BOOK UR TIC ONLINE! got discount and can skip queue. wad else more can you ask for? **its my first time taking the crystal cabin btw** and luckily i do not have height phobia~

Our shoes!! I need like tt pair of blue shoes! I bought it during sales at the foggaire boutique at nex BUT it died on me in HK! eh wait, Im not supposed to talk about suay stuff right? HAHA~

Well, Emily is a lil scared of height i think?? Look at her stoned face?

 After that she loosened up and smile!!!!

 Thats paula and me on the other side, both of us dun have height phobia!!!

 Look at how clear the water is!

Think emily conquered a lil  bit of her height phobia?

This is daredevil Paula!
