Morning flight from KLIA (about 9am)


It took around 4hours to reach HK
Once there kena beli tiket for the airport transfer (mcm KL moorail tu..)
inside the monorail
We stop at Kowloon station & from there kena take bus to reach our hotel which at Tsim Tsa Tsui area.
Relax a while and after maghrib, went out to makan then go to Arena of Stars.
Just across the street, its nearby our hotel.
(BTW, our hotel is next to Sheraton. Senang sikit if nak tanya orang, if sesat, hehe) 

We miss the 'Symphony of Light', but its fine. Ada byk masa lagi.



*******************
Next morning - time to explore the island!!

The morning midst.
Its kind of cool here as its quite mendung.
Good thing is, weol doesnt bring any extra jacket etc coz from feedbacks- they said its quite panas already in HK. 

Hmmm...tak pasal2 pulak need to buy light jacket, uh..
Purchased Big Bus Tour ticket (abt RM150 kut, for 48hrs pass). Ticket ispurchased at the Pier, nearby our hotel.
We need to take ferry to get into the bus.
-T on the bus-
Surrounding view...
High rise buildings are everywhere maybe since the land is quite limited.

 Our first route is the 'green line'.
Its the most best route - i love the Stanley area..
This is Stanley..
 it is Sunday - this is the bbq pit. 
Maka beramai2 la bersantaian di sini. 
I think this is quite a prime area. 
Maybe mostly expats. - Maserati showroom-


 This is Stanley market

 Some fresh produce plus some souvenirs, t-shirt etc.
Tapi tak beli apa2 pun masa ni..

 Seafood across Stanley. What a pleasant view.




 Stanley shopping mall




After Stanley, we hop on to the tour bus again to explore other part of the island.
The is the 'red line' route.
I think its Wan Chai area. 

 These are all their condos.
Sayupnyer...kurus2 nyer....

*********************
Next stop is 'The Peak'


Ada Hard Rock Vafe & Madame Tussauds kat situ.
Planned another visit for a night view, so I dont drop by at HRC.. 
But sudah nye, no 2nd visit, huhu.

-the tramp to get up there-
 


 Trem around Wan Chai area
 We are back at TST area when its dinner time.
Exploring the area
 On the way to our fav resto there - Happy Camel



 The salad is nice.
I love one of the salad's garnish - its the mayonese herbs..sedap..
 rice with kebab..hmmm..yummm yumm

 nearby our hotel



 
 Hong Kong dollars. I couldnt recall the conversion.
Always rely to my ipod to calculate the currencies. 


just to share.
This is common alley in HK. need to mention, its road its quite narrow.
probably due to limited land size. 
(on other note-quite impress with my iphone5 pic capturing, tho its by accident).  

ciao...

2013!!!!

Happy New Year peeps!!!
The new year has come. 
Honestly, I dont really like new year as I dont really like it when time's flying.
I am someone who really love to cuddle with my surroundings, what I have in hand and all the lovely people around me.

I rarely on the lookout of something new, with the exceptions of "shopping"
ya... but rest of it - I am just happy with who and what i have around.

In short - I dont feel anything on the new year.
Lazy morning as always & lepaking at home.
late evening, we went out to KLCC as Mr.H need to buy something for his NoteII (which he really proud of, eleh...) , then I bought a new cutie shoes - creamy color from Lovely lace for my Ms. F. 

Then, lepak Starbucks & went to Kino for some 'small purchases'
 (ntah apa yg i beli pon x tau le....dah lupa dah).


Adios, 
Happy New Year!
