what you see may not be what you get

back from family dinner.
my cuzzin is giving birth on tuesday!
that's wad the doc says tho..
omg.. her tummy is so huge!
anw, back to my story..

asked my cousin (who is very familiar with hk) where the nokia care centre was.
she told me there isnt!
like wad rubbish! in hk, if ure phone has some prob, you send it back to where you bought it.
so oh no, no phone for me to use!

30thSept- Sat (DAY TWO)
woke up at freaking 630am.
joined a half day tour.
brought us for this 8 course dim sum thingy.
it wasnt a lot of food cuz you only get ONE piece of each kind.
it was kinna awkward eating with ppl you dont know.
I HATE IT.
there was this two brothers sitting opposite me.
they look so different from each other and their parents i wonder whether they're even related.
okay fine, it's none of my business.

then we went to mid peak.
the tour guide showed us few of the rich and popular ppl's house.
for example, jacky chan.
in hongkong, if ure wealthy enough, you will wanna have ure house there cuz the hongkies believe that's the fengshui place.
there's is so rich guy who married a few wifes.
he bought her a house up there and a house number 4.
why? cuz she's the 4th wife.
interesting huh.

i love travelling on hills. and when ure high enough, you look down at all the buildings,
WHOOOOSH. nice.
then we were brought to 'qian shui wan'.
i think it was a temple in the past or smth.
there was a beach there too.
took many many photos.
there was a professional photographer to take a pic for us and put it into a plate sorta thing..
you know..? ya you know.
oh man, i love the beach......
mum went to 'molest' the cai shen ye.
muahahaha.

next up was so damn interesting.
it was this river thingy and we took a sampan for a tour around it.
we saw 'fisherman's' life on the river.
like they live there and do everything there.
you see those big big ships they take out to sea.
part of it was transformed into a place where owners of yatch will park it there.
if you have a hongkong idol and he/she owns a yatch,
i prolly have seen the yatch.
hurhur.
the breeze while on the sampan was uber SHIOK.
a ride per person in HK$50(S$10).

there was some time left before lunch so we were brought to this tea house or smth.
the tour guide was promoting some tea leaves for diabetic and high blood pressure.
like one of the famous guy in hongkong was once very sick and after drinking this tea for a few years,
he's fit as a bull now.
up to you to believe but obv we didnt.
but i bought this dried preserved logan.
IT'S GOOOOOD.
very ex tho. one eighth of a plastic bag cost HK$50(S$10)
mum scolded me for buyin cuz is WAYYY overpriced.
so i'm eating it bit by bit.

lunch at some restaurant.
NICE FOOD.
end of half day tour.

went back to the hotel to rest for a while.
late afternoon, mum and i headed to causeway bay by train alone.
I LED THE WAY OKAY.
(so karen, i dont get lost!)
it was just three stops away from our hotel station which was TSIM SHA TSUI. (in dee's case, TST)
went to a nokia shop hoping they would revive my phonebut no, they gave me the nokia care centre which has an outlet at causeway bay.
so GREAT.
headed there straight away.
mum was like "do you wanna get a new phone instead?"
sounds good but i decided to forgo that offer.
the care personel told me i would have to pay HK$450 as check up fee cuz the phone wasnt bought in hk.
and if i were to send it for repair, i'll have to come back 2days later.
what the heck.
why should i pay the money. so my phone cont. to be dead.
walked around and mum said "why dont you get a new phone? we walked passed a phone shop just now right?" (how come she's like so nice suddenly?)
so we went to the phone shop and asked whether they accept trade in.
they do, and my phone only cost hk$180(S$36)!
looked at the phones the new one look really tempting.
decided not to cuz if i were to buy, it'll be better to buy it in s'pore.

shop shop shop.
didnt really bought anything.
went to have dinner together and i had porridge.
IT WAS SO SMOOOOOTH!
yummy!
that's wad i call PORRIDGE.
wanted to have dessert at this famous dessert place.
but they were giving out queue numbers so forget it.
was hesitating whether to cab or train back.
cab in the end cuz from the train station to the hotel is quite a distance.
the cab fare was friggin hk$150(S$30)
total madness pls. it's fare starts at hk$15(S$3)
DONT EVER TAKE A CAB IN HK.
back to the hotel at eleven-ish.
the streets were still bustling.
you hardly see this in s'pore. not even at orchard road.
even watsons was still open!
that's what i call NIGHTLIFE okay.
the streets were still packed with people! it makes you feel so happy!
somehow.

lazt to go on. first two days wasnt so fabulous.
BUT I TOTALLY ENJOYED MYSELF AT THE WAX MUSEUM.
stay tuned!
