finale of the hongkong trip..

Day 4

3 days passed veri fast.. flight is at 7+pm.. so we still have 1st of the day to shop. Having popo mission accomplished (she bought the stuff she wanted, she went to the places she wanted, she ate the stuff she wanted), the girls think it's time for them to go for a shopping frenzy.. Went back to Mong Kok's Argyle Centre again. Reach there too early, guessed that the shops not open yet, so we walked around the area first.

Went to the MTR station to refund our octopus card. Something to take note here, if you stay at Majestic Hotel, going anywhere in Kowloon by taking cab wont cost u more than 40HKD. As a guide, from Majestic to Mong Kok, the meter never jump at all - 15 HKD. It's less than 2 km away. So for convenience sake, beside Day 1 daytime, we never took MTR anymore.. hahaha... Down at the MTR stations are many shops. some sell bread, cake and biscuit. you may purchase your laopo bing, etc from there too. But we bought ours at airport. easier..

Shopping begins at 12+pm.. divided into grps and taking turn.. round robin system.. haha.. bcos someone is needed to constantly accompany popo... she's stationed at a fast food restaurant at the basement, making it the headquarter of our operation, codename "shopping frenzy". I was in the advance party. Went up and walk walk a bit.. KNS, half the shops not opened yet.. think they onli fully open at 1pm. found a toy/key chain/plushie shop.. everything inside going for 10HKD! so i requested for a plastic bag and started throwing stuff in.. 10HKD = 2SGD.. a nice price for getting souvenir for frens.. nowadays getting souvenir for frens is boring.. wat u can find there can oso be found in sg too.. nothing special.. even laopo bing is oso sold in sg. all thanx to globalisation. anyway, getting souvenirs, it's the the thought that counts.. Awwwwwwwwwww... So i almost cleared out the shelf of monkeys and marios... anyone reading this and is a friend of mine and never receive it, ask mi.. if not more, TOO BAD!!!! First Come First Serve Basis...

Day 4 is all about shopping anyway.. Argyle got some style of clothing that u can hardly find in singapore and those clothes look cute! and those Gothic/punkrock/cosplay looking clothes, it's definitely selling cheaper there than in sg..

Finish shopping, go back hotel pack luggage, board bus, go airport, check in, shop for laopo bing and stuff, walk to gate, wait, board plane, fly, roller coaster ride (we flew into a thunderstorm cloud, stupid pilot), touch down, end.

-End of Trip

There's all about the hong kong trip. I would say it's quite an interesting trip for me bah.. had never heard so much cantonese in my life, had never ate so much noodle in my life, had never shop so much in my life - the 3 new records for my life..

Air tix + tax + accom + insurance cost 700 plus a bit. I've changed 400 SGD. Came back with ard 400HKD (80SGD).. i'm considered thrifty liao.. prior to the trip, my parents each gave me 200 each, which i dun really need.. last night, i passed them back the 200 each.. tell them to take it as i'm giving part of my pay to them.. filial hor.. i'm no longer that bai jia zi liao okay.. eileen always complain i dun work, slacking at home, not contributing to the society and stuff.. okay.. i kinda get it.. working and earn money and become independent has a great sense of satisfaction.. feels good... but.. haha.. it's still better to slack now, or else next time no more chance.. she's now oso slacking everyday, though with tuitions every now and then.. dunno when she's going to find a job to feed me.. hai.. i cant see my xiao bai future anymore...
