I ♥ Hong Kong-Part 1

Finally I managed to step on HK after much hype about me going there few months back #^_^# HK has always been on my top list for a country where I've always wanted to visit, yippee! Owell, thanks to all the HK dramas which I’ve been exposed to since young. This is actually the 2^nd self-organised overseas trip with D ^^ Albeit this is our 2^nd trip, this HK self-organised trip is quite hastily planned compared to our previous trip. We just managed to get the itinerary roughly drawn up 2-3 days before~ This time we strike off Macau and Disneyland~

After a reasonably quick 3.5 hours flight, the plane touched down and the journey began ^.^v Our first plan when we reached HK is to get an Octopus card each for our travels around. D & me purchased our Octopus card at the MTR station and then got the train to Mong Kok where we stayed. **P/s: Get a map for anyone visiting HK! After train journey from airport to Mongkok, a bus ride and some walking distance, we slumped on our single bed in the Dragon hostel in Mong Kok, phew!~

Breakfast@Dao Hiang Dim Sum,Nathan Rd.,Mongkok

yummy "ha gow" (prawn dumplings) *slurppp*

Compatible with Din Tai Fung's “xiao long bao” (small steamed bun) *yumzz*

Had a pinch for this cutey polo buns ^^

i luv' my "har cheong fun" =)

Can’t resist their “siu mai” too ∩__∩y

We spent the evening shopping at Fa Yuen street and Ladies street ^^ But, end up with nothing. They were many stalls appeared to repetitively the same like; same jewellery, same clothes, same shoes and same electronics. Owell, it’s a street full of vibrant, reminds me of the movie “72 Tenant” ^^

At night, we headed to HK’s SoHo “Lan Kwai Fong” to have our dinner and sightseeing. There were several stunning (but expensive) looking restaurants and long queue restaurants to choose from. So, we just settled for a simple dinner in one of the “cha char teng”. I had a bowl of wantan mee and refreshing “tung ling cha” (Ice Lemon Tea) ^_^

D's saliva-dropping 'char kai fan' ;pppp

We then dragged our tired arses to Avenue of stars ; the Hollywood walk of fame (only recognised Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee!) and the view across to HK Island (pics) ^^ and we managed to catch the 27 Symphony of Lights *drools*

We managed to make time at the end of d night with a refreshing dessert supper in Hui Lau Shan dessert (It’s all over HK!!!) It serves hundreds of varieties of hot and cold desserts, but I luv’ their mango dessert the most =) In fact, they even have introduced a mango series! Give it a shot if you visit HK and if you are one of the mango manias {{{(>_<)}}}

Yoga

I haven’t been posting much since two months back, not due to neglect, but due to my mum’s condition. I’ve been busy chit-chatting with her for the past two weeks, just to keep her occupied *obedient daughter look*

Niways, some updates about me. For the past few weeks, me & pe attended yoga class in Kuchai once a week. Overall, I’d say it’s doing good, although I’ve had to bear the aftermath muscle pain for the first few classes. But, it does help me to sleep better at night and more energized on day time. I’m not sure if it’s due to psychological effect, but, indeed I feel calmer at work ~ommm~

But, of late, I sense something wrong with my eyes. I had eyes surgery when I was young due to the nature born red skin in my cornea (if you know well/ look@me close enough), you would’ve noticed it. Nope, I’m not having conjunctivitis. But, rather, thick, yellowish discharge in the corners of my eyes. At times, it was so overwhelming that it blurred my eyesight. And it was to a point that my colleague got shocked when they saw my uncontrollable thick and yellowish pus flowing out from my eyes *yea, it was that gross* Not sure if the yoga is discharging the ‘toxin’ from my eyes, but, looks like I gotta see dr. tomorrow =( Hope nothing serious happen to my eyes and just mere bacteria infection~

P/s: Thanks for all the warm wishes and caring visits to my mum. It surely makes her a happier patient =)

XOXO
