Hong Kong Day 4

Xiaoyuan woke up early and helped us get breakfast whilst we laze on the bed..haha..piggy!! we wanted to eat the porridge that was opp our hotel..yum yum..it was good!! the placed is called qing song yi xia (relax a little while).. Cat came and we took our own sweet time until it was about 11.30am when we left the hotel. We were walking through Harbour City to the Star Ferry when we walked past this shop selling snoopy stuff!!haha..of coz it brought me in and although i told myself i should not spend on anymore junk, i could not resist getting one of the ornaments after long consideration..aiyah..talk about self discipline..failed!! haha.... was trying to take picutres of every single one..keep making the others block me from the shop keeper's view..lol..i'm a bad girl..

we boarded the upper deck of the star ferry to HK Island..wow..HK Island was even more packed than Kowloon!!Every turn, every street was lined with shops..we took a tram instead of a bus to Causeway Bay since there were no trams in Singapore and it was worth the sit..anyway, they also used the Octopus card..so y not??Additionally, it was only HK2 a ride..regardless of how far or how near we went.. thats like.. S43cents?? haha..whats there to lose?? We walked around Causeway Bay for half the afternoon..the shops were too many already!! i bought a Nalgene bottle as it was slightly cheapter than singapore and my current bottle was already quite badly scratched..in fact, everyone bought a bottle.haha..usually i'll be the one buying stuff and they not buy anything..

We took a tram back to Central..kinda got lost coz Cat was a little unsure of where to alight..nevermind..explore more of HK Island!! found our way and had macs dinner b4 proceeding to Li Yuen Street East and Li Yuen Street West..actually, there was nothing much there, maybe coz it was late and it had been raining the whole day..we spend less than 15 mins there and we saw a very uniquely HK stairs..i have no idea how to describe but one look at in and u'll know it's ancient and so HK..haha..we took a picture and climbed the entire stairway, reaching flights of escalators..we soon realise that Cat was actually bringing us up the Victoria Peak!! haha..i kinda got upset as i wanted to be back at Kowloon to catch the laser show..

As usual, i started making lots of noise..when we got to the main road cat suggested we took a to the Star Ferry as the map said we needed at least 20mins to get back down there..aiyoh...so suay..the road was jammed so badly we were stuck at the same spot for at least 10mins!! ahhhh..will i be late for my laser show?? finally, we moved and the taxi driver let us down on the one street away for fear of further jam ahead..we rushed like mad people to the ferry..luckily the wait wasnt very long and i was praying that the ferry would travel faster..unluckiness comes in numbers..the ferry had alittle problem parking due to choppy waters..BUT HENG AH..reached there JUST IN TIME for my laser show!! Yipeee!!! haha.....it was very cool..the music and the lights syncronise..wonder how much it cost for one of these shows??

We dropped by the hotel to put our stuff and wanted to go back to the streets we visited 2 days before.Cat didnt wanna go wth us but in the end she did coz Qihui came up with a fantastic idea!! she suggested that weplayed games through the night!! yay~!!! =) Cat was happy to stay, i was also happy she stayed..4 days past so fast and another day with her would be great~! Soon, everyone was starting to get really slow and sleepy, especially when we started playing bridge..i had a very long time reacting..lol..so we went to sleep at around 6am..determined to get up at 10 and make a short trip to Cat's place..
