HONG KONG DAY 4 - 5th Jan


time really passes damn fast when you're having fun. and especially more so when school starts almost immediately after you return from HK. ARGH!!!
anyway, since it was our last day, we decided to take it easy and allowed ourselves to sleep til almost 9 before meeting for dimsum brunch. (the past two days we woke up at the horrible hour of 7+)

but, we first had to check out of the hotel

view from our room. damn ugly lar. jiayin and zhi had the view of the highway, so lucky.

our terribly small room. but okay lar, it was not that bad.

yes, how could we leave HK without having at least one dimsum meal, the quintessential meal of HK-ers? :)

brunch was at the same place we had the roast goose, and the place was almost completely filled even though it was only about 10 in the morning.

food was pretty good, all for just about >S$10.


after brunch it was back to MongKok for one last round of shopping.

this time, we decided to opt for Langham, an upmarket shopping centre, much like Plaza Sing. (but nicer lar. haha)

okay lar there really wasnt anything we wanted to buy there, but we did find a few cakeshops selling the most adorable cakes!

they sure don't make these in Singapore.

we quickly got bored of Langham and went back to our usual spot: Ladies Market for some last minute shopping.

it was still pretty early so most of the stores weren't ready yet.

the gorgeous gorgeous bags. unfortunately even after barganing, each still costs about S$40.

yuexin's best friend: the Golden Turtle. hahahaa.

hopped over to the Esprit warehouse. nothing much. cheap, but no nice stuff.

YUMMILICIOUS DRINKS AND DESSERTS! i wish they would open a franchise in Singapore.

by 3pm we were already beat and decided to go back to Langham for some dessert.

not bad at all! love the mango glutinous balls.


finally we had to head back to our hotel one last time to pick up our luggage and start making our way to the airport. while the others sat down and rested, me and zhi went out to take the last few pictures.

oh! and this poster was ALL over the wall outside an electronic store near our hotel.

heh heh heh. i went in and asked for one poster :P



on the express bus back to the airport :(


the lovely sunset we saw. a rather fitting end to our stay at HK yes? :)

after checking our baggage in (surprisingly, none of us exceeded the 20kg weight limit. haha) we went to Krispy Kreme to pick up doughnuts and to kill time.


(p.s leed and seah i cant give you guys your doughnuts already.. they're way too stale! but do thank me because KRISPY KREME IS WAY OVERRATED AND IT'S SWEET LIKE HELL. yup i'm saving you guys from the calories and fat and giving them to my family instead. hahaha. no seriously, the doughnuts aren't great at all. i couldn't finish the doughnut in one sitting. urgh)


very soon, we had no choice :(




BYE HONG KONG! :( it's been an awesome 4 days. i'd LOVE to come back here next year. (preferably in the winter though. LOVE the weather)
