HEYY!
i am back from HONGKONG peopleee!i had WAAAAAAAAAAY too much fun in hongkong!did quite a bit of shopping too:D hahha. well this is basically what i did...
DAYONEArrived in hongkong at about 3 plus.We took a cab back to our hotel- THE PARKLANE HOTEL,which took us about 40 minutes.we checked in and went to see the other families like jacinth's and russel's because they took the earlier flight so they had arrived 3 hours before us. jacinth already bought a pair of shoes and a puzzle:D then eunice's family arrived so we decided to go for lunch with them. aunty ruth brought us to this place called MAKS. the noodles there was really good!eunice showed me some INTERESTINGGG pictures on her ipod:D after lunch we headed back to the hotel top change up for dinner at THE PEAK. we took a cab to the peak train station before we took the peak train to the peak. hahha so confusing:D eunice got totally freeeaked out and scared and jacinth and i weren't being very helpful by scaring her even more:D hahha. then we went to this really nice restaruant to eat called CAFE DECO. after eating jacinth eunice and i went shopping for a while. they each bought a pair of shoes.then we headed back to the hotel and my brother started jamming with the jazz band and my whole big supportive family of 21 people clapped and cheered loudly after every song.hahahha:D it was a really fun dinner!
DAYTWODISNEYLANDD!jacinth's family and eunice left for disney land early in the morning): waaahs. so my family went with russel's family(: we took the subway there. it was quite fun. then russel and i made this deal to sit all the roller coasters together and we got so darn disappointed because we found out that there was only ONE rollercoaster. yes, ONE PATHETIC ROLLER COASTER. which was space mountain. so sad right! anyway after we arrived in disney land we walked around a bit and met up with jacinth and eunice(: we sat space mountain together. jacinth was so scared she screamed and screamed so loudly and she practically tore my arm off. she was clutching onto my arm and screaming and screaming and SCREEEEEEEEAMING.hahha:D the ride was okay, pretty boring though. then after that we sat that buzz ride and went for lunch but russel suggested we sit autopia so me, eunice, jacinth and russel went to queue for autopia. the queue was so long!but we managed to entertain ourselves:D when we finally got to like,almost the ride, we were argueing over which cars we wanted.:D eunice and russell wanted red, i wanted purple, and jacinth wanted orange. we all didn't want yellow. and yes, just my luck, I GOT YELLOW. russel got orange, jacinth got purple and eunice got red!hahah:D the ride was SOOO slow and SOOO boring we were all SOOOO pissed that we queued SOOO long for such a crappy ride:D then after that we sat that spinny whizzy thingy. eunice kept moving the car up and down. haha. then we went to eat lunch. after lunch, the four of us raced off to fantasy garden. the characters were all there(: YAY! eunice insisted we queue for minnie mouse first because minnie was her idol:D hhahaha.so we took pictures with minnie. she was quite nice(: very huggable.russel helped us take the photo because he didn't exactly want to be in the pictures.haha. next we queued for winnie the pooh!he was super duper nice and funny. he kept tickling us and all:D he was really huggable too. we also queued for goofy and pluto but they weren't so nice. NO OFFENCE:D
then we watched the golden mickey. it was quite entertaining!(: after that we went for the many adventures of winnie and pooh, followed by the 3d macgic show.the magic show was really cool!we went to adventure land next to sit the jungle cruise and the guide couldn't really speak english. so russel and my bro laughed at almost everything he said. so mean right!hahah. but it was quite funny how he talked i must admitt:D then we walked around, bought some souvenirs and watched the fireworks- disney in the stars. it was quite nice, but not spectacular or anything.then we headed homee to our nice comfy beds(:
DAYTHREEchristmas eve!i went to church with jacinth.the sermon was quite good(: after that we went for JAPANESE LUNCH!jacinth tied my hair up in a japanese bun!:D hahha. after that i went shopping with my dad around causeway bay. we went to jardine's crescent too. bought some stuff:D not that much, but stuff:D then we hurried home to change for christmas dinner at aunty ruth's house. we took a cab to her house. first we sang christmas carols while aunty ruth played the guitar. then we had to take a photoshoot. its very hard!any idea how painstaking it is to get 21 people with perfect smiles all at the same time? i do. when we finally got our big family photoshoot done,we suggested we get an informal one of the grandchildren(: we were all like FINALLY!we can all loosen up a bit. after everything was done, everyone attacked the food, which was really good. eunice jacinth and i kept bugging russel to try on eunice's earings but he refused. we chased him all over but he didn't let us. waaah:D hahha.then me, jacinth, russel, eunice and my bro went into a room to play cards and talked. it was really fun!we laughed and we laughed:D jacinth wanted to play a prank call but we decided not to incase they traced the number back to aunty ruth's house.then we went out to share out testimonies and before we knew it,THE CLOCK STRUCK TWELVEEE!:D we all went around hugging everyone and distributing presents!it was a really good christmas dinner of bonding and fellowship!<3
DAYFOURCHRISTMAS!it didn't really seem like christmas though. it also wasn't exactly a very merry christmas. we went to ocena park. you must be thinking like WOW!HOW FUN!but nopeee. eunice made the right decision not coming. she went to mongkok to shop with emilia instead and she was also scared of sharks:D the park was super duper crowded. we queued ONE AND A HALF HOURS just to get onto the cable car. russel and i were still really enthusiatic about the rollercoasters. jacinth and my bro the scaredy cats decided they would sit the calm rides together while russ and i sat the rollercoasters. hahha. but none of that was possible. we decided to queue for a milder roller coaster called the mine train before hitting the bigger roller coatsers like the dragon and the abyss.BUT WE QUEUED ALMOST THREE HOURS FOR THAT MINE TRAIN RIDE WHICH WASN'T EVEN FUN. like argh!it was so annoying. by the time we finished riding it, we hadn't eaten lunch, and it was already 4. we were all so sick and tired of queueing we decided to go watch the dolphin show and go home. so that's what we did. oh we also stopped by the shark enclosure to take some pictures for eunice(: not to mention shopping a little for souvenirs. we were all so glad to be home! we went out for dinner at YONGKEE reunited with eunice and all. after dinner, bryan secretly sneaked eunice jacinth and i out for ice cream!YAY!he treated us to B&J!(: then he showed us aaround the place a little before we went back to the restraunt. after dinner, i took the subway home with eunice and terry(:
DAYFIVEjacinth went to mongkok):i woke up really late at like 11. we went for lunch with russel's family and eunice at a place called ANYTIME. the food there rocked!:D after that eunice and i went to meet terry and his friend mingting who was going to bring us to cheap shopping and good fod(: so first she brought us to this place called MOON HOUSE for desert. the desert was excellenttt! oh and i also gave eunice 7 reasons why she should consult me there(: hahhaa. i was supposed to give ten but she gave me chance(: hahha. we were laughing like crazy:D then mingting brought us to causeway paradise.we shopped around for a while. eunice and i played that turny turny machine thing too!(: hhahah.
then eunice and i split up with terry and mingting because we wanted to go this way and they wanted to go that way. eunice and i went to jardine's cresecent first.AGAIN:D we bought some stuff then we decided to walk to times' square. but on the way we were like''hey!let's go to that shop!" " look that shop is having sale!" hahah. we bought quite a bit:D we only got to times' square after 2 and a half hours. hahha. then we headed back to the hotel together to get ready for dinner at american club!(:
the american club was really fun(: they had these paper crowns on the table so me, jacinth, russel, euncie and my bro put them on and blew those christmas stuff you blow.hhahah:D it was really stupid. and bryan also organised a christmas lucky draw(:! i won some snoopy christmas balls thing. hahha. we also got gifts!(: the party was really greeattt:D
after that russ me jacinth my bro and eunice wanted to go the hagaen daz and have our chocolate fondu but IT WAS CLOSED!we were all so disappointed!we had been waiting for our CHOCATHON and now we had no other chance): waaaah. hahah. then jacinth gave me the stuff she bought for me in mongkok(: yay!haha.then we all went to SLEEEEEEEEP:D
