October 10, 2009 at 4:44 am | In It's my Life, LoVe Is in the aiR, PhOtos, TraVeL |

Morning Flight to HongKong. Metropark Kowloon Hotel
Lantau IsLand. Dragon Gate City Oulets.
Ladies Street. Meet up with Friend. Desset at Tang Shui Fu

Woke up at 5am in the morning. Dad and grandma sent us off to the airport. Had breakfast before boarding.
Shopped in DFS before going to our gate. The Shu Umera cleansing oil is so much cheaper than the one i bought outside, very tempted to buy. But decided to keep my $ to spend in HK. =)

Our flight was 6.40am in the morning!

We requested to have the emergency exit seats during check-in. The leg room is bigger and spacious.

Up! up! And Above!

Instaed of taking the airport express (MTR), we decided to take the airport shuttle which will send us directly to our hotel. The rates are comparable to the MTR and it more convenient.

ME! on the airport shuttle bus to our hotel.

The scenery… looks like the malaysia expressway ah?!

Along the bridge. Crossing from Hongkong island to Kowloon.

Those flats must be damn expensive!

Spotted the container yard

Dunno why we will take this photo. But it turned out to be the apartment Claris lived when she was working in HK!

Shops along our hotel

We requested for non-smoking room. So we had to wait for a while before we can check in. Left out baggage in the hotel and went out to wacky our neighbour. Dear was hungry! So we decided to try the 香港茶餐厅 just behind out hotel.

We ordered the set meal. And it comes with a winter melon and pork ribs soup. Dear is super happy. I cant finish my portion and he was so happy to help me finish! Heez..

We took the MTR to Cental. Walked to the central pier to take the ferry to Mui Wo. And from there, we took another bus which brings us up to the great buddha. (Cable car was under mantainance, so no luck in trying out)

It was a super sunny day!

On board the ferry. Its air conditioned. Just like those we take to batam or bintan.

The all handy ‘Octopus Card’  aka EZ Link card.

Look at how sunny the weather is! Phew.. sweating..

Isn’t this scenery so beautiful… this is the lake we passed by on our way up to great buddha

The steps to walk up..

Halfway there…

Panting for my breath.. Haha

Yippy!! I’m reaching!

OHhhh… i love this pic too. Look like some winter tree/christmas tree

The back of the Buddha

The 3 servants? or 3 Fairies?

Somthing printed on the buddha palm

The village or souvenier shops. And also the place to take the cable car.

On our way back to HK. Sun is setting

We took the bus that brings us back to Tung Chung. There’s a shopping centre –> City Gate Outlet. Everything is outlet.. you can find Mango Outlet, Nike Outler, Esprite Outlet, Levis Outlet. ALso Coach, Agnes B, Hermes…

HK MTR. The seats are super cold. Took the train back to Mongkok. Shopped around Ladies market, electronics street, shoes street. Bought fishballs to eat. Met up with 1 of Dearie conterpart in HK. She brought us to the dessert shop for dessert. Yummy!!

Before heading back to Hotel. We bought some snacks at 7-11.
