Hong Kong Trip 29 Dec 2006 - 1 Jan 2007

We arrived in Hong Kong on 29 Dec 2006. It was a short 3 days, free & easy trip for us. & since in Taiwan, we had to wake up at almost 6.30am every morning, we decide to pamper ourselves abit more this time round and wake up at 10am or later. Muahaha.

It's really mai dong xi, chi dong xi here! Miao jie and nu ren jie were shopping paradises for clothes, bags and esp souvenirs. Gosh. We bought two more huge carriers and another backpack. Back in Taiwan, our tour group frenz had commented that we are shopping freaks. Well well, can't deny I guess. =)

In Taiwan, we met Junwei (jw's best fren wif the same name, but jun4wei3 not jun4wei1!~) and went clubbing together. Their clubs are so much fun. Got la mei and sexy dances! So I was indeed very much looking forward to gg to Lan Kwai Fung to check out this famous clubbing area in HK. Alas, we din get the chance to except on New Year's Eve and Victor said no point cos very crowded and can't get in. BOO HOO. Btw we met Vic and his parents in HK and went eat dim sum, gambling at Macau, & even count down together! Happening parents sia!! Alas, despite Squeeezzzzing our way through to Victoria Harbour, there was no sign of fireworks and worse, not even the "10,9,8..." countdown. Everyone was so confused. Gosh, there muz have been millions and millions of pple there.

To celebrate our New Year, me and jw bought a few bottles of drinks from 7 Eleven and had our mini party inside our just as mini room in Mirador Mansion. (even smaller than my single room in Hall 6!~) We played Texas Holdem, poker, Blackjack, Tai Tee and watever card games we knew. So our New Year's Eve ended on a high note after all despite the initial disappointment. =)

Oh, & we were lucky that we didn't lose $$ in Macau. We had $1K worth of tokens, and had lost half of it. Jw decided that we shall bet on dice big/small, and either win everything or lose it all. Wahaha. Gan jiong moment for us when the dice were revealed. Heng, he is after all lucky boy and we got back the originial $1K. =) Not to mention that the ferry cost us HKD$752 (about S$150)! Wah. Damn ex, but you can't imagine how many pple/gamblers/curious tourists still make their way there. Sooooooooo crowded.

The worst thing that happened during our trip is that the camera gave up on us. Sigh. I guess we din take good care of it. All the pics we took at the last few days were just white, blank pics (whenever we were outdoors). No image captured, so I can't even Photoshop it. SOBZZ. There goes my Avenue of Stars (aka Xing Guang Da Dao). Luckily can still take satisfactory pics at Madam Tussands, if not it would just be sooo sad. I swore that I shall get us a better camera and be fully prepared for our future overseas trips. Esp I'm someone who luvs to take loads and loads of pics.

Well, we still managed to bring back some pics to share with our frenz and family. Here goes!!

Till the next overseas trip (I think it's Sweden~~~~) ! Adios!!
