blogging with suspense...

this is exciting! blogging during office hour. Well you see.. My company only has 2 stations with internet access for employees to use, and it is to be used for office work. but since the starting of my IA, i've been hogging on to this station, claiming that i'm using it for my development work. but hey! i'm really using it for development work. Anyway, since i've been hogging it for so long alreadi, so pple starting to take it that that station is mine. so voila! that station is mine! sitting at this station, my back is facing an opening. so whenever my boss(es) juz suddenly come in, anything i'm doing on the station can been seen easily. Thus, this is the exciting part. writing blog during office with boss anytime springing on me.. thrilling and exciting! BEAT IT!

cannot talk too much about my company and my work, or else my bosses will have to silence me. GG.

lemme write a long post. it doesnt look good with short posts all the way. I'll talk abt my hong kong trip then...


Title - My Hong Kong Trip (+Macau)
Note : The following may be used for reference, especially those text in blue. However, the author is not to be held responsible for any damages caused.

Prologue
The tour took place from 16 June 2007 to 19 June 2007. It's a free and easy tour, consisting of 5 pax. Me, eileen, her youngest sister (hui), her auntie (sanyi), and her grandma (popo). Although the trip is to enjoy, I felt that I have an obligation that I need to take care of them all! World peace...

Day 1
bloody early flight at 0645hr. Reach hk at ard 10-11am.. waiting for tour agency to send us to hotel. Nothing interesting happened yet. Really. Check-in, went to room put luggages. SET OFF!!! Hotel is Majestic Hotel, located at Kowloon, Jordon area. Nice place. It's kinda right in the middle of Kowloon, easy to get around in Kowloon.

Right opposite the hotel are some eating places. we chose the one that sells noodle and porridge. Fyi, all standard hongkong eating places sell noodle and porridge. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! soon you will be sick of them if you keep eating them even though they are nice. Anyway, that "tea restaurant" (cha cang ting) has good dumplings! one of the best i ever had. no regrets. The average food in hong kong usually priced around 20-30 HKD (4-6 SGD). slightly more expensive than in singapore, but most of the time they tasted much better than wat we had here, and bigger portion. After meal, we went Wong Tai Sin (Huang Da Xian) temple. Off we go to pray pray, walk walk a bit.

Basically MTR can get you almost anywhere. And their destination board inside the train is more informative than our MRT. The tickets are the same as SG, either 1 trip pass or octopus card. Their octopus card is good. It's like combining our cashcard with ezlink. The octopus card can be used for taking MTR, bus and buy stuff (you can use it in 7-11!). Anyway, no harm getting it, anyway the processing fee for refunding the card is only 7HKD. give them lah! For adult, octopus card is 150 HKD, cant remember how much is deposit and how much is the actual value, 1 is 100HKD, another is 50HKD. Getting around using MTR i think is around the same price as ours, i think.

taking MTR, we went to wong tai sin temple. then after pray pray, we go Mong Kok (Wang Jiao). Argyle Centre is a shopping paradise. it is equivalent to our bugis street. Stuff there are cheaper, but do note 2 things:

1. Things there are mainly for GALS...
2. Most of the shops have no changing room! You want to try, go toilet try. And it's only after u buy liao then can go toilet try.

Guys still can go there lah.. go ogling, help gf carry stuff, buy accessories/keychain/cute cute stuff. Those gals who like bugis street, they can stuck there for the whole day. Shopped all the way until evening, then makan dinner. After dinner, shopping again! This time it's at Women Street.

Women Street is a whole year round pasar malam. -End of Description- Eh.. that's all to it lor.. A super long pasar malam lor.. oh.. guys can get their tee shirt from there, but guy tee shirt all look the same one lah.. buy souvenir oso can get from there. If you think you still have energy, u can go to the nearby Fa Yuen Street (Flower Garden Street). Half of it is pasar malam i think, the other half is sell sport shoes and stuff.. There's a karaoke place at the end of Women Street. something like kbox, think it's called greenbox. haha..

Anyway, end of day 1. Legs sore like hell.. I couldn't feel my feet anymore. Almost doubting they are mine...

- To be continued...

Guess there's a limit how long a post should go... too long very hard to read and boring. And got a feeling boss is springing on me anytime soon. Ciao!
