Day 5 - Hongkong Trip 2009

Shopping - Home sweet home

We did our last min shopping again at the Citywalk mall opposite our hotel. Bought some gifts for friends and display items for our new restaurant.
hubby got himself a watch and some T-shirts while I went Kitty-shopping again.

As we booked the late evening flight home, we had plenty of time after check-out and we headed to Fa Yuen Street again for some bargains. Indeed I found a shop selling authentic Hello Kitty stuffs. (luckily I made hubby go back with me again)
see my shopping loots HERE

When we reached the airport we saw that the flight was delayed..which means we have plenty of time again for a nice n slow dinner.
It was terrible cos the flight was delayed for almost an hour! Everyone crowded outside the gate and I was shocked that no priority was given for passengers with children. At that point, Mischa and Favian were already fussing. So i grabbed Mischa in my arms and made my way right through the crowd and demanded to be given the priority. Sure enough my family and I were allowed in front of the other passengers.

So it was 'bye-bye Hongkong - Hello! Singapore!' Not sure if i will be stepping into Hongkong ever again....who knows??

On board the flight home, Mischa was pretty well-behaved. She had a little of her post-weaning meal and shared some of my light snack. Then she entertained herself with all the cups and boxes. After that she fell asleep almost all the way till the plane was about to land. Favian was with my parents on other row of seats and slept halfway through the flight.

DAY 4 Part - Hong Kong Trip 2009

After a long n tiring day yesterday, today we decided to do no sightseeing except to shop till we drop. And of course not forgetting food food n more food!

At our hotel lobby for some phototaking fun

So off we went to the famous Ladies Market, Fa Yuen Street & hop over to Langham Place again for some photos and tea break. most importantly is for the toilet break. I could'nt believe it was so difficult to find a toilet in Hongkong streets!
We were busy shopping that we forgot to take photos! Only some pics taken at Langham Place.

DAY 3 Part II - Hong Kong Trip 2009

After a tiring day in Disneyland, we headed to Victoria Peak to check out the view of Hongkong from the Peak. We took the peak tram instead of getting a cab up and also visited the Madame Tussauds Hongkong. Not a really 'must-go' location, but its no doubt an eye-opener for me. I wasn't really impressed with the set-up of the gallery though. But the wax figures were really impressively realistic.Too bad that not all the figures were present at all times. For instance, I didnt get to see Andy Lau and our MM Mr Lee. Kuan Yew cos they were ' on-leave'. If you really want to go, try not to bring a pram cos there are lots of steps inside the gallery

Waiting for the peak tram - the ride up the peak was kinda scary. To one point it went so steep that the buildings around us seemed to be toppling downhill....




At the Madame Tussauds...



A night view of Hongkong from the peak. It was really cold that night and we went back to the hotel for a good night's rest.

Day 2 - Hongkong Trip 2009

Places we visited
- Central : stopped over for lunch here and we wanted to take a look at the 'longest escalator' in Hongkong. we had a hard time searching but luckily i gave fellow mummy (Cecelia) a call and finally found the place. Its actually called the Central-Mid Levels Escalator

Me posing with Lil Mischa. it was quite cold when we exited the MTR station. Took some photos here and had lunch in one of the Cha Chan Teng







This is the long long escalator joining from buildings to buildings. At the end it led us to SOHO and we took a short stroll around the area.

Some shopping time before we head over to Langham Place for some food and window shopping (no photos)
