Hong Kong Trip (26th - 30th June)!

First of all, I would like express my greatest gratitude to Aunt Yoke Thye as she fully-sponsored me for this HK trip. Here’s a BIG THANK YOU!

To be more precise, it was actually Hong Kong & Shen Zhen trip. Well, HK is nice but it was raining everyday! Our best companion of the day would be our own umbrellas… =P

Day 0 – Li Guo, Zhi Yang and I took the KTM train from KL to Butterworth in order to meet Yen Wei… It was a 10 hours journey and I couldn’t sleep well in the train…

Train ticket.

Day 1 - Headed to Penang airport to take flight to Singapore for transit to HK.

Reached Butterworth KTM station at 6am.

Our luggages, at Penang airport.

As usual, Mr. Self-Obsessed-Lim spent "hours" in toilet for his hair.

We finally reached HK at around 5pm.

Had our dinner at LiYuMen Seafood.

Jumbo Floating Restaurant.

Zhi Yang and Yen Wei in front of Uncle Lee's luxurious boat.

At WongDaiXin Temple.

At Ocean Park. We were on the rush and that was why we only spent around 2 hours at Ocean Park. Sigh…

Headed to Splendid Of China – the world’s largest miniature theme park highlighting popular historial sites and sceneries in China.

The diversified forms of ethic lifestyle, folk art and architecture from different regions of China, at China Folk Cultural Villages.

We watched the cultural show of China. It was magnificent!

At night, we did some shopping at DongGuan where everyone was so afraid of the pickpockets and became extremely alert.

Day 4 – We returned to HK by train after we had breakfast.

And… we were at Disneyland! Guess we were too old to go Disneyland. LOL.

Festivals of Lion King.

At Tarzan's tree house.

I spent HK$60 for the lunch... Damn expensive!

Parade, where they kept shooting water and made everyone of us wet!


Now you see why i said we were too old for Disneyland?

A magnificent fireworks show.

Not forget to do some last-minute shopping at Lady Street at night.

Day 5 – We headed to HK airport after breakfast. Time to say good bye to HK!
