HK Trip: Day 1 - 29Jun07

Had to set off early in the morning on the 1st day coz our plane take off at 8 am. By right, need to reach the airport by 6 am. Made a critical mistake of not sleeping before the trip.. and it almost ruin the trip.

Reached airport at 6.30am. While checking in, one of the Cathay staff approaches us saying that he might need our help. He said that, they had overbookings on the flight and if they need our help, we might have to delay our takeoff by 2 hours on another plane.. but its on BUSINESS CLASS!!! LOL.. with no additional charges. But that is, if he needed us to move off from that flight. Also, he threw in a complimentary breakfast at Changi airport wor!.. haha.. FOC de. So while waiting for them to settle their issues, we ate the FOC breakfast.. Another mistake.


FOC Breakfast leh.. whahaha...

In the end, they settled it on their own, and we lost our chance of travelling by BC.. lol.. nevertheless, there was a USD 150 vouchers to spend on the plane for gifts.. lol.

The flight to HK wasn't that smooth.. given the FOC still fresh in my stomach and the in-flight breakfast, i almost puked my whole stomach out. LOL.. reached hk rather late because the flight was held up by heavy traffic. The plane had to circle in the sky and made my face greener than ever..


1st row LCD.. lol.. very unique

Finally arrived at HK, but still had to travel to our hotel.. The travel agency made people from different hotels to take the same bus, and ours was the 2nd last to alight.. omg... it took about another hour of travelling.


Sky train.. still got the mood to pose.. wahahaa..

Reached hotel at around 3pm plus.. LOL.. super late lor.. and straight away, was out again. Went Tsim Sha Tsui to buy our tickets for macau trip on sunday.. and then i forgot where we ate. Hahah.. but had roast goose rice for lunch/dinner.. was still seh from the trip, and so didn't take any pictures.. lol. After buying the tickets, was back at hotel for touchdown before going all the way up by MTR to Ap Liu Street (ya liao jie).. but it was too late. They all were closed by then. So walked all the way down to the night market at tong choi street.. Too bad, didn't bring along any camera.. haha.. coz thought it was supposed to be nothing much. Well.. they gave me a feeling of bugis street wor.. Haha.

By then, i saw lots and lots of street food.. and some where quite unique. Even though i still had that puking feeling (i guess the plane had caused all my breakfast to get stuck at my throat).. but still it didn't stop me from eating! Sian that i didn't bring along my camera.. haha.. but i ate the famous curry fishballs and then there was this octopus leg in a very weird sauce. Also had a piece of smelly tofu.. haha.. but i think really must go tw and try theirs ba.

Walked all the way back to our hotel.. and it was very late.. and i forgot to mention that at hk DFS, we bought 1 black label to tah for our 4 days stay.... not to mention that i didn't sleep pior to the trip.. plus the late nights and early mornings in the coming days, it sure was a very tiring trip.
