Back from my HongKong trip

Been back since wednesday. Alien was so cruel to force me to go back work the day after i reached Singapore at 12am. Waited to clear custom n bought some liquor at DFS and its nearly 2am when i reach home. Slack around abit, unpack abit and it was bed time at 330am. The next morning, saw an sms from her asking me to report for work at 12 cos 1 guy was on mc so the remaining guy did an one-man-show. LIKE I CARED!!! Official reporting time for half day is 130pm!!!!! Over my dead body will i go the extra mile for her n him. So i happily slack around and reach around 1pm. Hey, i was being nice to go half an hr extra ok? Not that she was appreciative also.

Discovered more n more place to visit on this trip. The last trip to HK, i was too reliant on Mr G. This time round, i had to be the guide so had to do more research. Went 4 places this time round, all packed in a 7D6N itinerary. HongKong, Shenzhen, Macau, Zhuhai. Other than me n mama, i brought along Medium Piglet and Ah Neh for this trip.

Hong Kong was much like the last time when i was there with usual庙街and女人界. However, as mama just had an operation done, we did not get to eat any seafood and any food she consider ' poisonous', ie no duck, no roasted goose, no seafood. She claimed she cannot eat mango too but i insisted on that one. How can i miss out my fav mango?

Next we went Shenzhen. This time round, we managed to explored further than the 罗湖商业城。We took the Shenzhen metro to 老街which is 2 stations away from the train station that links shenzhen to hk. and the grand price for this metro ride: 2RMB! The single trip ticket is a cute little green token which u use it to scan on their gantry. Interesting.






Over at 老街, there's freaking alot of things to buy. But didnt shop much there, wasnt really in the mood to shop as we were more concerned on looking out for electronic shop where mama can get her electronic dictionary. But to be more objective, there are alot of stuff there and the price i assume is pretty cheap compared to Singapore standard. Saw a few shops that sells everything for 2RMB. They sell rings, earrings, chains, hair accessories, fake eye lashes etc all for 2rmb! Went in like a hungry monster and started throwing things into the little basket i was holding! SO cheap!!!

On the 4th day, we went over Macau and met up with Mr G. Think Mr G really liked the place there and is happily obsessed with the poker tables there. I wanted to play as well, even though i know i will be a donator on the table. But as mama was with me, i cannot leave her alone so in the end, played a bit of blackjack only. I want go back again!!!!!

2nd day in Macau we went over the Zhuhai. 1 word to describe: CHEAP. Very CHEAP indeed. The mall in Zhuhai was not as scary as the 1 in Shenzhen where u get the touts stalking you. Bought quite abit of stuff from there. One thing to note: the manicure was much more expensive there. They charge 50rmb for mani and pedi and 250rmb for gel extention. You can get mani and pedi for 30rmb in SZ and gel for 80rmb!!!!

For the final 2 days we went back to HK and went to the distribution centre as recommended by Mr G's mum. Its at a MTR station called 荔枝角and u exit throught exit C from the station. Cant really remember the name for the building. There is a shop selling egg tarts n bread right after u exit from the station. Yummy Yummy. Their egg tart n puo luo bao is heavenly and cheap! Egg Tart for 3HKD and the bread for 2.5HKD! Next, at the distribution centre, i suspect they are having change of season sale. The clothes on sale are generally lesser than 50HKD. A steal at 10SGD! Went on a buying spree till mama says shes 2 tired. Oh well, ill be back!



Mr G requested for a picture of all the things ive bought. Well, i only managed to capture MOST of all things ive bought.
