Hong Kong Day 1

today is the big day to Hong Kong!! i'm super excited!! it's officially the first trip that i go alone with my friends..it has been nearly 9 years since i've been to hong kong and i doubt i remember much!!

we went to pick up Qihui first before picking Xiaoyuan..reached airport about 8am..uhoh..the board at the airport stated that our flight has been delayed to 10.45am as the later one has been cancelled and they would be combining both flights..we went to the counter..thinking of how we should spend our remaining time..the good thing was..the lady said that we could change to SQ if we wanted as they had extra seats and were offered to the early birds..of coz we take la!! SQ is so much better!! so far, i've not found any airline that is better than SQ~!! yay...took sky train to terminal 2..

after checking in our luggage, we went to BK for breakfast as Qihui was hungry and made our way to the Budget Airline Terminal as Xiaoyuan wanted to see what it was like..they had a shuttle bus which was quite nice..

Budget Airline Terminal reminded Qihui and I alot of Australia as they had a big big empty carpark but a relatively small building..basically, budget airline building is square and looking in from the door, u can see the entire building..haha..not very big la..when we got back to the airport, we went in to the transit area and spend our remaining time there..hmm..never officially explored the restricted area of Changi Airport b4..actually, nothing much there la..just all those higher end shops and souvenirs..they also sell some foreign imported stuff den u dont usually see in the markets of singapore..up on the plane and off we go!! =)

as usual, SQ had movie-on-demand..watched , which was not a very nice movie, and 3/4 of , which was great!! Jennifer Anniston rocks!! we reahced HK at 2.45pm and the entire group was waiting for us as our flight landed 15mins after them and we spent a long time inside taking maps, brochers and stuff..haha..so paiseh..

Kimberly hotel!! its a beautiful hotel..i'm glad we paid an extra $160 for it..think it would be much better than Dorsett Seaview, which Xiaoyuan's dad said was near those redlight district..we dumped down our bags, waited for Xiaoyuan's fren - Irene..den we were off!! Irene was an exchange student in SMU..so that was great!! we have a local bringing us around!! We headed off to ShaTin with Cat's green tea and stuff..my..there were very heavy!! When we reached ShaTin i was so happy to see Cat!! she looked like she lost weight..must be all the stress in HK..poor thing...she brought us to the Snoopy World where i got all so excited and hugged the big snoopy at the entrance..

we also went to see Fish n co there to see see look look..wow..it's so nice as compared to singapore lor..it was just too nice and tempting that we had our dinner there..HK menu was different from us as they had chicken and beef of n the menu..we orderd alot of food and that stupid eating problem of mine had to strike at the moment..spoilt my mood..sian.. we visited Starry Garden there which was very beautiful and they had some sort of musical fountain there.. after that we went to a dessert restaurant just few shops away and had dessert..the dessert was good!! oh..the restaurant is called !!

We shopped around the shopping centre b4 making our way back to the hotel..ate the da bao i took from Fish n co, and we went to sleep..TIRED but FUN!! =) a perfect 1st day in HK..
