Trip to Hong Kong 29 Dec 2008 to 3 Jan 2009 - Day 1

First time leaving Singapore to such a far country... Was so excited about it... I could fly on a plane (finally) and also going to Hong Kong with my best friends, Joanne, Yuen Ping and Pey Jiin. We reached Yuen Ping's house the night before as the flight is at 9am and we have to reach Kuala Lumpur International Airport by 7am to check in.

29 Dec 2008

We woke up at 5am and prepared ourselves and at 5.40am, the "bus" to fetch us to KLIA arrived and it was so small to fit in 8 adults and 2 kids, not forgetting our luggages. So we had to squeeze and endured during the one-hour journey. Reaching KLIA, we proceeded to check in and also had our breakfast. We went into the departure hall and took some pictures as well.

Upon reaching Hong Kong airport, we proceed out to look for the person in charge of bringing us to the hotel. While waiting for Pey Jiin (she is taking another flight) to arrive, we were taking pictures at the airport. When Pey Jiin arrived, we took the hotel transfer and it took us one hour to get to the hotel. We also booked a tour to go to the Peak and also the Madam Tussads Wax Museum. So at 5pm the bus came and took us for a dinner at a restaurant and Joanne had the urge for some soft drink and she ordered a bottle of 2 litres of Pepsi and it COSTS HK25 (which is about S$5.00). After that we went to the Peak and the view is soooo nice....

It is Me again....

After enjoying the view at the Peak, we went ahead to Madam Tussads Wax Museum. I took many pictures there, but most of it in Pey Jiin's camera.. I will load it when I get the pictures from her some time after chinese new year. I will upload the one below and it is Jay Chou.... Haha...

After the wax mesuem, we sat on top of a open-top bus and tour around Mongkok. Our last top is at 女人街 and for Joanne, it is her time for shopping again.. Wahaha... and she said she is glad to have me with her as I will always slash pricing for her.. But end up on sour note as her son keeps complaining of legs are tired and also cannot walk, and for your info, he did not walk much as Joanne has specially bought a pram (for kids) and it rained, so we all went back to the hotel and Joanne and me came out (AGAIN) to shop nearby, we are staying beside Temple Street (庙街) and we ate some not-very-nice dim sum and after a while, we went back to hotel and came to an end for your first day in Hong Kong...
