the pretty little things in life*

Had an amazing HK trip with my Honey Pie, just the two of us. Nothing beats that.

Reached the airport at close to 5am for our 640am flight. Checked in and went to have yummy BK breakfast. I love the hashbrowns!

It was so silly of me to think that Gucci would still be opened for business at such an early hour. But still, how could I resist not paying a visit? Teeheehee...

On the flight and another 3.5 hours to Hongkong! Love the beautiful morning sky!

Was really windy and cloudy when we touched down. Immediately went to purchase our Octopus card! 3 days of unlimited MTR rides! Took the Airport Express and changed to the MTR to reach our hotel at Jordon station.

Our home for the 5D4N in HongKong! Prudential Hotel! It's really good and reasonably priced! Even my honey pie agreed with me on this. Our hotel is situated right above Jordon MTR station, together with a few levels of shopping outlets! Located along Nathan Road, it's really near to places like Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Causeway Bay etc.

After putting away our luggage at the hotel, we went for lunch at Mak's Noodles. Shopping at Times Square and Island Beverly. Desserts at Hui Liu Shan after that, which can be found in almost every corner in Hong Kong.

Figured out we had enough of shopping, so we decided to take the Peak Tram up. Along the way.

Settled for dinner at the restaurant just outside Madam Tussauds. We really cannot wait to see all the celebrity wax figures! Hong Kong Day serves pretty decent food too! Ordered their curry which was uber delicious!

And off we went to Madam Tussauds! Jay Chou got me really excited! My honey pie was trying to act cool beside Brad Pitt.

Couldn't resist groping Aaron's tits. Trying to provide a contrast beside MM LKY's serious face lol. Ayumi Hamasaki is such a babe!

Look at my honey pie beside MM LKY! Always makes me burst out laughing. Pierce Brosnan is the classic Mr James Bond. Andy Lauuuuu! You're mine!

The sportsmen. Look at the height difference between Yao Ming and yours truly!

Another close shot with Beckham. Do you know who's the last person in the collage below? She's Madam Tussauds herself!

My honey pie definitely has alot of ideas when it comes to taking random shots with the wax figures.

Taking photos with these wax figures becomes an addiction unknowingly. Both of us were experimenting with different poses lol.

We met Mr Obama there as well! He's the latest addition to the family! But I find him a tad bit skinnier than the real him. Nevertheless, we took a picture with him and made keychains for ourselves! I think I look like Mr Obama's daughter standing there beside him and holding his arm haha...

Woke up for breakfast buffet the next morning. And then, we took a ferry and bus to Lantau Island to visit the Giant Buddha at Po Lin Monastery. Look at how cloudy the day was.

Climbed over one hundred steps to reach the majestic Giant Buddha. It's awesome and you can really feel the aura when you're near the Giant Buddha. I prayed to him and I hope the Giant Buddha heard my prayers!

Had vegetarian food for lunch! Everyone knows I dont't eat veggies, but this was an exception. And surprisingly, the food was nice! Wisdom Path after lunch. Hoped I gained some wisdom haha...

Was already evening by the time we got back to the city. To SoHo and Lan Kwai Fong. Pretty sights. And we spent the rest of the night shopping away!

To Disneyland the next day! Ohmyohmy! Highlight of the trip! I was fascinated by every little thing. Look at the Disney MTR! Cushion seats with Disney figurines in the train!

Instantly transformed into a little kid when I reached Disneyland and started snapping away!

Purchased our tickets and off we went! All the staff in Disneyland were very nice to take pictures for us, even without us having to ask!

Winnie The Pooh was forcing my Honey Pie to squat down beside him as he's too tall! Lol. Pluto hi-fived me nose to nose! Which left my nose hurting for quite a while after that. His nose was real hard! And Goofy looks rather tired!

Visited Tarzan's Treehouse where we had to take a boat ride, followed by the raft.

Buzz Lightyear has gotta be our favourite character! He's so full of actions! And he poses just like Aaron Kwok.

Towards the evening, there was this Disney-like Chingay Parade where all the Disney characters paraded themselves in their respective floats. Joyful and joyous.

Parting shots with Chip & Dale, Donald Duck and Jessy! Couldn't find Woody anywhere! And Donald Duck is really sooooo cute! Times flies when you're having fun! I really had buckets of fun with all the characters! Hi-fiving them and giving them beary hugs!

Left Disneyland in the late evening and headed for Avenue of Stars at night.

Some randoms of us in Hong Kong for the nights. Lots of interesting sights to take in. Makes you feel like you're in a Canto drama serial lol.

On the last day, we went to get the famous 恒香Wife's biscuits. Took us quite a while to find the shop house. Passed by the Bank of China along the way and witnessed an on-going protest. The policemen were all on standby and we still had the cheek to ask them where to get the Wife's biscuits which they helpfully told us lol.

Time to leave for home! The famous airport in 冲上云霄! Haha...the feeling of going back to Singapore, stepping back into office and reading emails totally makes me want to stay in Hong Kong forever.

Thinking that we were still early for our flight, we went for breakfast and shook our butts to check in. To our horror, we actually missed the last call! Ran and ran and ran all the way after check-in to the gate. It was like a 400m sprint or something. I swear my heart almost stopped, thinking about the possibility of missing the flight. I was secretly thinking of staying one day in the Disneyland Resort if we really did miss our flight lol. But thank god for not missing our flight eventually! The whole plane was practically waiting for us. Felt my face turn red when I boarded the plane lol.

Our first holiday together and definitely not the last. Thank you, my love. For taking care of me during the trip. I know I'm a muddlehead all the time! Hehs. It was a great 5D4N in Hong Kong for us!
