to hong kong! (part 1)
i went my family, during my 2-week break, to hong kong and boy oh boy did i fall in love with the country in such a short time span.
(note: this post is long overdue, so i’ll try my very best to make sure that the anticipation was worth the wait 
)
i’ve been to hong kong before, with my friends. so i roughly knew what to expect. however, this trip was much different.
the view from the airplane seat
though it’s a beautiful sight, dad didn’t book a direct flight from Singapore to Hong Kong. our journey to the country was firstly by the KTM train at night to KL. From there, we’d take the transit train to the KL International Airport. Then from there, we’d take a flight to hong kong.
why didn’t we book a direct flight hk? that i cannot answer you. but if there’s one thing that i love about this arrangement: i took lots and lots of train rides 
i’ve a love for trains :D i might even consider joining smrt as a train driver when i grow older!
“Transit to KLIA…12 Mins”
Oh yeah, the train comes every half-an-hour. imagine how long we had to wait for the stupid train!
i got so bored i started camwhoring. those are my brothers btw!
we were quite frustrated from waiting (cause we had to wait for sooooo many things) but when the train came…
i felt so happy we were one step closer to hong kong!
when we got to the airport…boy oh boy did we got even more frustrated. we, well…mostly for me, lived in a world where we thought that planes would arrive and depart on time as scheduled. to our disappointment, our flight got delayed by three freaking hours
THREE FREAKING HOURS
james’ expression says it all
we were definitely frustrated. but i’m over this frustration…since a month ago haha. so let me pick up from where the first picture of this post!
when we landed, dad wanted to save money by not taking a cab. instead, we took the airport transfer train (whee, another train!) to somewhere. there, we could hop onto a shuttle bus that’ll bring us straight to our hotel.
and i have to say, THE HOTEL IS SO AWESOME. i can’t find the photos of our hotel room, but to begin with, it’s damn bloody spacious! i kinda forgot the hotel name…but i know it’s near mongkok east mtr station!
anyhoo, the next day, we went out to travel around hong kong. one of the places we went to was the peak
the view from the peak.
from down below, the pace of life reminded us of how things were in singapore. but from up the peak…it didn’t feel like it. it felt like i was in a different world…
maybe it’s cause of the cooling weather! i was still shivering even though i had my hoodie on
it was so cold that we tried to keep james warm! (you know that’s not the right reason haha)
i’ve to stop here because i need to continue working on my projects! the very reason why i’m unable to keep this blog updated as often as i wish i could. 
but it’s all ending soon!
(btw, i didn’t manage to find time to edit this blog post. thus the spelling/grammar errors. sorry for them!)
be back soon!
