HK Trip Day 3: Hong Kong Disneyland

I'm really sorry about the 2 mths delay updates. I really swear to you that blogging efficiently now is one of the hardest thing to do. I really hope that with my recent big purchase of the Asus K55, I will be blogging more often.

So ok... 2 mths ago, we were at Hong Kong! I have blogged on our first 2 days (please view Day 1, Day 2 if you have not) last 2 mths ago and so here comes.. DAY 3!

As both of us have not went to Disneyland before, yes.. we have not even set foot into USS Singapore, we were pretty excited about meeting Mickey, Minnie and goofy in HK. We heard alot of reviews from our friends and there were some that said it was really fun and 1 day is not enough and then there were some who told us not to waste our money. We decide to go with the in between and that is.. to just go for a day of fun and THAT's it.

Total damage for HK Disneyland was S$100+ for 2 person. Come to think about it, it's really expensive. We have chose to get a 3 day travel pass when we first reached HK so that we can enjoy some discounts when we get Disneyland tickets.

Before we head onto the main topic about Disneyland, I want to share a place to eat for breakfast. We wanted to head to Olympian City for our breakfast but to our disappointment, the restaurant which we want to go was CLOSED FOR RENOVATION. We were super pissed and was thinking of where is the next nearest place we could go for their fantastic breakfast. Well, it is always the case that the restaurant will just pop up anywhere when you do not want to eat them but when you do, you will have to travel just to have them. Hence... we took a train to EAST TSIM SHA TSUI to search for our

 We walked a distance to Olympian City with a great disappointment.. :(

Took a train from Olympic to East Tsim Sha Tsui

To have our favourite scramble egg and chicken

Yumz!! $4+ for a set

After a hearty meal, we are all ready to take the train to DISNEYLAND. The train journey was rather long but at least there were seats to sit. Hong Kong train are really fast and I simply love their air con. SO COOLING even though there were tons of people in the train.

HERE WE ARE AT DISNEYLAND!!

SAVE ME FROM TMR LAND!

Waiting for our turn to take our first ride. Took us 30 mins just to take that. :(

Glad that he found his childhood once again. *Kids ride

Long queue again for the boat ride *Kids

Realistic right?

Tarzan Treehouse next *kids ride

The scariest ride which both did not dare to take. *Adult ride

We played games with them. HEhe!

It's finally the PARADE time! Stood there under the armpits of China peeps for 30 mins just to see Dumbo, Tinkerbelle, Lilo and stich, Winnie the pooh and Mickey and friends. 

After a hot sticky wait for the parade, we went for the winnie the pooh ride to get some aircon. Great to meet them but if given a choice, I would rather skip the long queue. *Kids ride

Cheeky goofy

We waited for Mr donald for 15 mins for his toilet break. 

Turning cups * Kids ride

Spotted a HK actor over there at Disneyland. Rare chances.

Another one..

The last ride before we head for our fireworks. IT's a small world after all! *kids ride

The fireworks started at about 8 plus in the evening. You can see tons of people sitting aimlessly around to catch the fireworks. It was really a very magnificient view but heading back to the city at ease is still the biggest priority in my mind after a whole day at the park. Hence, we chose to leave the disneyland 10 mins before the end of the firework to avoid human traffic. Thank god that we made a brilliant choice cause the crowd was really madness!

I did enjoy my day at Disneyland but honestly, I do think the rides there are rather kiddish and disappointing.  The crowd and queue was really very very disappointing. People just jump queue as if they own the theme park. We had to keep in queue and warn these people whenever they do that. Really detest the feeling of it.

After a tiring day, we had our dinner at Tsui Wah again...

We call it a day after a great dinner and shopping around harbour city..

Joliefemme's Online Boutique - Clothes Sourced from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea

Firstly, I will like to sincerely apologise on my sudden disappearence in this blogsphere especially when I had stopped abruptly on my Hong Kong trip. I promised that I will continue my Hong Kong trip story but please give me some more time and I will blog on it real soon.

So, I do not know if anyone here knew about this but I have recently started an online boutique with my neighbour of 16 years. It was a tough decision deciding if we should start an apparel boutique at first since the competition in the cyberworld right now is so fierce. But due to my love for fashion and her 10 years of experience in the merchandising and fabrics line, we couldn't help but to decide on being part of the fashion market share.

We met many challenges such as trying to construct a .com website as we had little knowledge on that but we were glad that after much hipcups here and there,

WWW.JOLIEFEMME.COM.SG 

is born

We started sourcing our apparels from Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan for their best quality and style. We even tried contacting manufacturers to discuss on our future plans in manufacturing our Joliefemme's self manufacture pieces. YES! We are that SERIOUS this time!! Since Winnie (my neighbour) is very particular in the quantity, we made QC checks on the stocks that we are intending to bring in before procuring them to sell them to the public. Yes, alot of money are invested on these QC checks but as customers for almost 20 years, we are really anal about being uncomfortable on the pretty clothes we wear.

Readers, please do kindly support me on this little business venture of mine. You may help by

Hong Kong Trip Day 2: Macau and Zhuhai

I'm really sorry for the late HK travel post as I was simply too caught up with work. My emails was like a Mountain Everest when I first opened it. I had to resort in penning down all the follow-up item before I lost any of them.

So what did I do for Day 2 in HK? I went to.. MACAU and Zhuhai! It was suppose to be at Disneyland but since the weather report application says that there will be light showers in the afternoon, we didnt want to dampen our mood.

We took the earliest ferry at 9am via Cotai jet thinking that we can avoid the human traffic but well.. we were VERY wrong. We only get to reach Macau Venetian at about 11am due to the long immigration queues. We did our touristy act by taking photos at every corner. Venetian have not changed a single bit since last year. See below for a few of our photos...

See how beautiful Macau is

Us doing our signature jump

At Venetian Casino entrance. Got some taiwanese boy to help us with the photo which did not turned out great. 

Outside his favourite shop.

We are actually indoors.

Pretty like this artistic shot. It looks like I'm shopping at Portugal but actually I'm still at Venetian Shopping Center. Hahaha!

Me in the Victoria Secret Costume. I had to queue 15 mins for this.

I did not take any photos in Zhuhai as it was pretty dangerous over there plus I was busy shopping for handphone cases. The mall is really big and it is quite impossible to go through all the shops in one day as there were many section to it. It's pretty dirty over there as they encouraged spitting and smoking in the shopping mall. Handphone cases are really sold at a very CHEAP price over there even though the exchange rate was S$1 - RMB$5. I bought a very pretty handphone cover for just S$8. So for those who are going there, please please please... BARGAIN! It's fine if you are being rejected cause no one in China remembers you. :)

 We took a free shuttle bus back to Macau city from the Macau-China checkpoint. Please take the free shuttle buses whenever you can and not wait for the TAXI. Cabs are pretty hard to get in Macau cause of their strict laws that they are not suppose to stop anywhere. It's hard to find a taxi-stand cause it's more like an invisible taxi stand. Unless you're a citizen or a frequent there, else it is really IMPOSSIBLE to know where the taxi stand is.

One thing I must admit about Macau is that the Casinos are REALLY beautiful.. but why why why... are their sea water so dirty? It's not even green in colour.. IT'S BROWN!! 

Hotel Grand Lisboa behind my bf. We didnt try our luck in any of the casino sadly.

After a cab ride from a random hotel, we are finally here in Senado Square.

We had our favourite Strawberry Frappuchino from Starbucks. Slightly cheaper than Singapore.

Bought a pork bun from a random stall after hearing so much raves about it. I will rate it 6/10 only!

Made our way to the St Paul church. The view was magnificient. A very nice lady from Austrialia helped us with this photo and I must say she is really good in taking photos. She captured everything which I wanted in the photo.

We made our way up to the back of the church.

The bf with his crazy act again.

That was how high I was.

After all the climbings and walking, we were really hungry. Bought Portugese egg tarts to fill our tummy and god.. I was really AMAZED by how tasteful it was. I'm feeling so hungry now.

After a long day at Macau and Zhuhai, we finally took a ferry back to HK. Total damage for the ferry was ~S$60 To and Fro.

PS: Macau uses HK currency but do not accept $10 coins.

We made our trip down to TST area to have our dinner.

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong

The Cha chan ting was filled with Kenny B's photos. It looks very old school especially when it is located in a shopping center.

The Stocking milk tea which taste really good.

But we were very disappointed in the food they served. The garlic was just WAY TOO STRONG.

Here's the picture of the signboard. The po lo bun and stocking milk tea is a must try items there.

A snapshot of me in the clothes I bought from China. I look like a kid right? I know!

And that simply marks the end of my second day in HK. Do stay tune on my next post for our DisneyLand pictures! Hehe!!!
