Ice Cream In Hong Kong

Normally when we planned for a trip, mommy tried to control us from eating ice-cream, cold drinks or those heaty stuff as she tried to prevent us from falling sick.

Mommy not allow me to take ice-cream 2 weeks before our Hong Kong trip. However, she promised that I can take ice-cream when we were there.

So, I got my ice-cream in Hong Kong. Not one, but three.

All three were from 舅舅, Thank You!

The first ice-cream at The Peak. I had strawberry flavour.

2nd ice-cream at Ocean Park. This is strawberry flavour as well.

And the 3rd one at Citygate Outlets, Tung Chung. This is vanilla.

Naughty 弟弟

弟弟 likes to follow us when we do something.

While I was doing my homework on Friday afternoon, 弟弟 also played with color pencil besides the table. Don't know why, he used the color pencil to draw on my MacBook. See, now the surface with those color pencil lines. Ah Mah tried to rub it off, but can't.

I want to complaint to 舅舅 as this laptop bought by him. I tried to i-chat 舅舅 few times but he is not online :(

Papa's Birthday

Papa's birthday falls on 4-sept.

I told papa September I will go to Hong Kong and won't able to bake cookies for him (actually mommy bakes). Therefore, I promised papa we will celebrate his birthday in Hong Kong.

The night before departure, I still remember and told mommy I want to draw something for papa on his birthday, just like Ah Mah's birthday. I requested mommy to bring along my small notebook and pen.

However, we were too busy & enjoyed the Disneyland till we forgot about the birthday.

On 5-Sep, papa told us the day before was his birthday after he checked his email as there were friend's wishes in the mail. Then only we remember his birthday.

5th Sept we moved out to Hong Kong island.

I drew papa a 'birthday card' after we checked in hotel.

We were planned to find a cake for papa but we didn't come across any cake house on that night.

I told mommy:"never mind la...we brought Papa to Hong Kong already mah"

Sept'10 Holiday - Day 5~7

Day 5 ~ 7, we were at either Hong Kong island or peninsula.

Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok...

The Lee Garden, Times Square, Wong Tai Sin, Avenue of Stars...

We took Star Ferry or MTR whenever we want to cross the sea.

Hong Kong...

At one of the mall in Tsim Sha Tsui

The Monchhichi, it's cute isn't it?

Avenue of Stars

It was hot...nobody wants to take photo except mommy.

The Wong Tai Sin temple was under renovation during our visit.

Therefore, we didn't go inside the main hall, we just took some photos outside the temple.

The last attraction that we visited before leaving Hong Kong -- Giant Buddha.

It was a last minute decision that mommy decided to be there while 舅舅 went for his shopping. By the time we reached, it's closed already. We were not allowed to climb up the stairs (don't think we able to make it even it's open)

This end our 7days holiday in Hong Kong.

So, what we missed from the list that mommy planned to visit?

Here they are: Madame Tussauds, Repulse Bay, Jumbo Kingdom, Symphony of Lights, Ngong Ping 360, Trams, Double Decker buses ride.

Bye Hong Kong...see you near future, since we missed so many attractive places & activities.

Day 4: Ocean Park

Day4: Ocean Park

We were too early by the time we reached Ocean Park. We were there about 9:30am but it only opened at 10am. But this gave us times to take some photo at the entrance and mommy bought me this ocean park's cap while waiting for the park to open. 弟弟 doesn't like cap, therefore mommy didn't buy this panda cap for him.

Panda, the first place we visited after we entered the park.

We saw 2 panda in there. But according to the person in charge, there are 3 panda in Ocean Park actually. One has been transferred to the other side of the park, we will able to see it later.

At the souvenir shop outside, I bought this little Panda.

弟弟 chose a lot but ended up he didn't get any because he threw away after chose.

We took the Ocean Express to go to the Summit from Ocean Park Waterfront.

There, we can see lots of sea creatures. Those creatures were group into different categories and in different aquariums. Therefore, to visit each of these aquariums, we have to walk from one to the other under the hot sun. Yes, the weather on that day is really hot. Luckily I got a cap & mommy got umbrella for 弟弟。

Ocean Theatre - Dolphin is the main character for the 3:30pm show.

After the show, we took cable car to went down to Ocean Park Waterfront.

I had a ride on the sea creatures carousel, however that was not a happy experience as I knocked my face when papa walked me to the 'dolphin'. I was crying during the ride.

However, the sad moment gone very fast as there are so many cute stuff & attraction in the park.

Go green, Ocean Park.

We saw this cute recycle bin in the park. There are some Talking Tree around the park as well. The talking tree is actually a rubbish bin, it 'requested' us to segregate the aluminium can from others rubbish.

By the time we left Ocean Park, it's about 5:30pm and this end our day 4.

We were quite tired after the whole day in the park. At night we only out for dinner nearby our hotel at Wan Chai.

Sept'10 Holiday - Day 3

Day 3 - Move to Hong Kong Island

Day 3, we moved out from Disneyland and started a new page of this trip.

We are going to explore Hong Kong Island & Peninsula.

We took the bus arranged by the airline to our hotel in HK. Therefore, we have to back to airport as the transport arrangement is from airport --> hotel.

At the airport, had some snack as it's almost noon. 舅舅bought me this 波萝包, it got 2 pieces of thick butter inside. I like butter and that's why I like the 波萝包 also. I can finish the whole bun.

Enjoying the bun...

The journey took about 1 hour to reach our hotel.

We stayed in Renaissance Harbour View Hotel.

Our room really harbour view.

The hotel room & view from our window.

After checked in, we walked around the nearby area.

Mommy told 舅舅 the Golden Bauhinia Square is just in front of our hotel.

Well, the Bauhinia Square is on the right handside of Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center (HKCEC) and our hotel is directly connected to HKCEC, we can walked through HKCEC and reach the Golden Bauhinia Square in about 5min time. However, 舅舅 brought us used the opposite way which took us a big route to reach there as we went to the left handside of HKCEC. Besides, we also walked under the sun as we were outside the building walking at the roadside.

The Golden Bauhinia Square

In the afternoon, our plan was The Peak.

We didn't take the Peak Tram as it's quite long queue by the time we reached the tram station.

Therefore, we took taxi to get there.

By the time we reached there, I already fell asleep. But I woke up before sunset and managed to see the spectacular night view of Hong Kong.

Photo taken by 舅舅 using his DSLR with tripod. Yes, 舅舅 brought the whole set of photography tools to Hong Kong. That's the reason we can get those nice, clear and beautiful photos.

We didn't visit to Madame Tussauds as it's not that attractive to us.

This ended our day 3 in Hong Kong. Tomorrow we are going to Ocean Park.

Sept'10 Holiday: Day2 Disneyland

Day 2: Disneyland

We spent the whole day in Disneyland on Day2.

Today is much better as no more raining. Sunny day and it's really hot.

I still insist to wear the princess dress as I didn't meet up with any of the Princess yet.

We were actually half way queue up for the Dumbo ride. Mommy heard someone mentioned the princess is coming out. Therefore, we quit the line and go to line up for princess photography.

Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty & Belle....Finally, I met with them!

After meeting the princess & Dumbo ride, I told mommy it's hot and I changed back to my normal clothing.

After that, we continue to explore the Fantasyland & Tomorrowland.

We met Mickey & Minnie again today.

It's A Small World, this is a colorful & attractive small world.

弟弟 & I like it so much.

After Tomorrowland, it's almost time for Mickey's Waterworks Parade, 3:30pm.

Not to get wet, we stayed in Dry Zone.

After the parade, we back to hotel for a rest as we came out since early morning.

However, I didn't take my nap. I take this opportunity to go for swimming.

So, what 弟弟 done in the Disneyland?

He just had a Carousel ride with papa. Most of the time, he likes to lie on mommy's shoulder and especially when he wants to sleep.

He was very curious on the remote control car. That car made him run around with happy smiles.

We back to the park in the evening for the fireworks.

This is really a spectacular fireworks performance above the Sleeping Beauty Castle.

With the end of the fireworks, our Disneyland trip ended too.

Tomorrow, we will be moved to Hong Kong island.

Anything that we missed? Oh yes!

We didn't explore the Adventureland at all.

We didn't watch any show/performance such as Mickey's Philharmagic & The Golden Mickeys.

We not able to make it for Autopia (the electric car) due to long queue.

We also didn't visit the UFO zone in Tomorrowland.

For Tomorrowland we missed quite a lot as we only have 1 ride which is Orbitron.

I think there still a lots of activities awaiting us, but we couldn't make it this time.

Therefore, we must come back again near future :o
