11 October 2008 there it was...Singapore Changi Airport! and back home we came! =) i followed Kel to the duty free perfumes and he bought like 4 bottles!! oh and the Chanel Allure Homme was oh-so-fab! then i bought liquor with Nora and my passports.. she cant drink, duh! but noone said she cant use her passports! hehe.. outside, mummy, ammu and casablanca aunty were awaiting my arrival! they came in like 2 different cars to pick me up! my family knows me alrite! they saw it coming.. the shopping.. the baggage! lol... and then it suddenly hit me... the best bunch of people i travelled with were going on their own ways... and this was it... i nearly cried.. cez i had school the next day!! -.-!
and then it came... the last day of the trip... the thought of it all being over itself still sucks... haiz! anyways, it was the first time we didnt have an itenerary pre-planned! so we could wake up like before check-out if we wannad to... but obviously we didnt! we went shopping!
Kenny was sleeping in my room... Kel had slept early and his card didnt work... so he came over and him, Da fei and me spoke almost the whole nite till dawn... all of us went down to breakfast with gloomy long faces... some couldnt wait to get back to singapore! after the last freeflow breakfast with bacon, eggs, sausages and the most heavenly spread of breads, we went back up... 909 and 908... =) i think im gonna cry!!
then Kel and i dressed up and left the hotel at 10... the two of us headed for Times Square one last time, for some last minute shopping! it was a total frenzy!! we went into Lane Crawford, Gucci, Calvin Klein, Lacoste, Fred Perry, this isetan like place... and many moreee! we had barely 2 hours! we reached Times Square at approx 10.15 and had to leave by 11.45 as the check out time was 12noon... we shopped... and waiting for our Agnes b. to open... i bought a lacoste shoe... calvin klein undies... omgosh! Kel bought a boxer for his sister! how thoughtful is he? LOL...
we kept going back to Agnes b. to see if it was open.. but it refused to open on time... and it was down to a foot race! from Lacoste to Agnes b., and then to the taxi stand... we had our bags from shopping flying everywhere! it was so funny... we were like himbo's trying to get off of the shopping mall! i didnt even get my change for lacoste cez Kel screamed "LEAVE IT!!" lol... it was 12 already! the taxi stand was kinda empty so we ran in and jumped into the cab... Kel said "unkerLortelatcawswaiibayNOW..please!" thats what it sounded like! he said "L'hotel at Causeway bay!" -.-! in the cab, we were pulling out shillings and notes from everyway to use up all the small change... we grabbed our bags and paid the taxi driver... go figure what Kel did with the change! lol... u guessed right, he didnt take it! lol... "THO XAA!!" and we dashed into the hotel...
everyone was at the hotel lobby! it was 12.15!! *faints* frenzy, is an understatement!! i think i kinda lost weight in the process!!! Mr.Tse was also there, with the rest... they stared at us with "where the hell were u guys??" look on their faces! all the baggage were lined up and Kel and i looked like we took cocaine! we were so horrified, and then we realised something... Kenny had already brought down Kel's stuff... with the exception of some stuff... i couldnt find my door card!! i couldnt open the fucking door!!! and i thought i was going to die! i went into 908 and Kel was packing his hand luggage... all my stuff was inside my room! and Da Fei went to eat!! =.=!!
we went down.. and i was hyper ventilating... then Kel had no more baggage space! i opened my new Hugo bag and used it as my hand luggage... and inside my pocket, was something! something that felt like a CARD! i could go into my room...Finally!! so i sprinted back up to my room and gotta fright!! my bags were all there... with some of my stuff unpacked!! i wished it was a nightmare and i had like a whole another day to pack in HK! but i didnt! i had to do it now... i left one of my jeans behind, toothbrush, slippers, and some stuff i didnt have time to take... the rest i packed, and then realised that i had 4 luggages!! i came with ONE! hahahaa... 4 luggage and i hand bag! how heavy all this was gonna be! i carried the 5 bags, including my lovely hugo, down... and Christina's boyfriend was standing there, with his camera! and he started snapping away as soon as he saw me suffering with 5 bags! lol... i was praying it did not exceed the excess baggage thingy...
then da fei and the rest came back, and so did Kel... who went to find them to eat... i couldnt eat, i couldnt even sit in one place... i went and bought some packets of Davidoff cigarettes from the shop next door! Wendy and cock-hock-sock-long-song-kong were chuckling at me! -.-! hahaha.. i guess it was pretty funny... cez i was at the lobby, stuffing and packing my bags with more things! Kel passed me his cute orange bag that he bought from the lacoste shop to keep.. we planned to pass it when i met him back in NYP... ok and then it struck us! we're going back HOME! we're supposed to be HAPPY! but then there's NYP tomoro! and no more shopping! no more views! no more pig intestines and no more freedom!!!!! kill us now!
we sighed and continued packing... MrTse was watching me pack.. he was smiling! like the "OMG why u buy so many things" kinda smile... then the bus came.. and i wasnt done... i zipped whatever was inside and threw the rest into Hugo...my Hugo was the first time i took out after buying (cez i wannad to open it in singapore) but i didnt have enough bags, and it was stuffed! my poor new bag was full!
and then the receptionist called me and Da Fei as there were some extra costs to our rooms bill... it was for inhouse movies!! we didnt watch anything!! and they said we saw 2 movies, step up 2, and some classic movie from 30 years ago! HELLO?? i have a life u know! Da Fei paid the fella while i was packing... and i went and of coz made a big scene! like, Da Fei innocently paid, for somethign we didnt even watch!! i wannad to speak with the manager, and that apparently was him! he said he would waive off one movie... so i had to pay $95 now.. which is like 20 sing bucks! for one movie! hahahah.. like hell! i blew my top! and then Christina saw the date... it was today itself that i watched both movies! at 2.45 and 2.46! why in the world would anyone watch two movies, at the SAME time???? so the guy said he would waive it off... and i sighed, asked for a card, saying out loud i was gonna write a complain letter, and then continued packing! finally, i was done... the rest had this wife's cake or something! in bulk.. LAO PO CAKE! hahah..
we boarded the coach, and Ling wasnt with us.. it was a long ride back... many of them were sleeping.. i was talking to MeiLing... and then we had like 2 seats for ourselves... Kel was sleeping next to Kenny... the bus was awfully quiet! i was on the phone.. first, called Ammu, and then Mummy, and then Siva.. and he was like "DEY MIKE!! is it really u da?? we missed u mike! i cant believe im talking to u!" hahah... we had to use up our local sim card... so i spoke all the way back in the coach, looking at the scenery outside, without taking pics... cez they were way nicer real life, then in pics! =)
ok then the food came and with it, came a horrendous turbulance! a series of it... wahh! i almost puked on Nora's tudong please! then i ate, and Ranie and i shared some cez we took different stuff.. i took the fish with potatoes..and Ranie's was backed rice with pork... then i couldnt eat so Ranie helped! lol.. anymore, and i would have puked, period! Caleb was in front, with Wendy and cocksockhongkong... he was so left out i felt sad for him! lol.. his reaction was damn classic! Shaun where's Vince? let him sit beside his wendy leh!! LOL... ok i continued sleeping so i wouldnt vomit and guess what! i missed the ending of the movie!! i was at the part where Jennifer Hudson was given a Louis Vuitton tote from Sarah-J parker... and then i slept! i dunno what happened after that! and what happened to the Vivienne westwood gown either! -.-! haiz...
i love HONGKONG!!
10 October 2008
and then it was Day 5 in HongKong! the plan was to eat dim sum for breakfast, but since most wanted the buffet breakfast at the hotel, we settled for that itself.. not knowing Vince went alone for dim sum... we had to meet at the rest at the lounge as usual... it was an everyday norm that Kel, Kenny, Da Fei and i met before breakfast since we were roomies and that too, next door from each other...
breakfast was of course, fantastic with bacon!! and eggs and sausages and the whole works.. ok and then we got ready... and set off in the coach...
today was the day i was waiting for the most in HK cez the last time i came here, this was my favourite place! VICTORIA'S PEAK!! loool.. i loike!! the view so far for the past 4 days aint nothing compared to Vic Peak!! ok so we charged our camera's fully loaded and got going... the first place we were brought to was a temple beside a beach... i came here the previous time as well... just that now, its looks so much more beautiful!! it was one of the most serene beaches i've seen (nicer then pipi island!) and the weather was just... perfect!!
we started cam-whoring... all of us... someone was coming toward the camera and Kel pulled me away..HAHHAHA! omg so funny please!! Da fei was like, giving wierd expressions with his eyes to tell me... and i pretended to talk to myself and turn! =D

then we headed for a place that looked like a replica of the laides mongkok market! hahah... mongkok sounds like bangkok! ahaha..ok random! so neways, we had like an hour there.. to shop of coz! and we only covered a small part of it... we bought a coupla shirts from the first shop with "I LOVE HONGKONG" on it! LOL.... then we went to this shop with a machine that looked like the tentacles of a jellyfish! dun ask me why we went in..lol! but hey, we bought like 7 of those jellyfishes! it was like a massaging thingy... and we were dragged into the shop! and well, we bought more things.. like a massage pillow and stuff... Kenny bought a string... -.-!!
then there was this fab stall with this lady doing fine silk painting on some fabric, which turned out to be a fan... it was so nice, like noone would use it to fan themselves! lol... so i bought 3! hahahha... for Tia, Kalai and Amirah... =) and then, Nora and Ranie as usual were like "OMG! we lost shaun AGAIN!"... -.-! basically, they kept saying i was easily lost cez i was drawn to like everything i saw! lol... it came to a point where one would satnd in front and the other behind me so i wont run away... =.=!
after camwhoring and sightseeing and shopping and all, we got back up... it was kinda hot, hottest day in HK so far i think... lol! ok then we were taken to this fabulous sailing course by the city...something similar to that of One degree at Marina Bay... there was a more traditional type alongside the multi-million dollar yachts... a SAMPAN!! hahhahahahahah... we took the sampan, which turned out to be ridiculously expensive! it was like 15mins i think... and the lady was sitting there stirring this motor thingy... wierdo was on the boat as well... it was kinda awkward! and guess what!! i was too nice so i finally took a pic with him... =D lol! and then the boys and i got onto the edge of the boat and the lady and wierdo helped us take pics... with the largest food place in Asia during lunch was behind us! it is like... on the sea!! who would go out to the sea and eat?!?! unless they were fishermen!!
k then we got hungry... but first, we had to pay the lady for the boat ride... so ex can! -.-! we got back to the coach and went up the peak...we had to go into this building which looked like wheelock and then to this FAB restaurant in HK! so nice till we didnt wanna leave.. it felt like the Hyatt in Singapore! there was a view of the whole country... fantastic food! and most of all a bunch of people who lived with my nonsense!! how great is that??
ouh and there's this wine cellar downstairs! so posh till we had to camwhore! lol... even from inside the building, the view was just... keeping me quiet! lol... cez i said the word "breathtaking" too much already liao! lol... then we went up to the PEAK!! to the top! and it was outdoor obviously... no building whatsoever! it was just US...and an eagle's eye view of HK! we....DUH! camwhored!! like...HELLO?!?! LOL... ouh and i carried my agnes b.iatch! he was kinda turned on! HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAA.... JKJK!!! ZOMGGG...
after that top-of-the-world feeling, all the pun intended!, we got back intot he wheelock place of HK and went to MADAME TUSSAUDS!!
ok there's nothing much to write about Madame Tussauds! all there is to it is just pics! and one SCARY encounter with the eearie room! the one which had SAW I, II and III stuff inside.. and some real actors! and Kelvin was behind me, grabbing my shoulder, and my shoulder were so painful after that! LOL... pu**y!
