Anyway, walked across the hotel for morning tim sum type breakfast. But blur like sotong, didn't quite get the customs right. So the tea was actally for washing the chopsticks.. whahaha.. and to think that i actually drank the tea there.. maybe it could be used for consumption as well.. who knows? But i felt quite uncomfortable there.. a bit like out of place like that. LOL.. maybe coz they all speaks to me in canto.. and i can't understand them at all. Of coz, they get a bit pissed by me giving them the "i don't understand what you are saying" face.. then they repeat their sentence in the common language.
"yum cha"
LOL.. breakfast was rather heavy.. just like the rain
After breakfast went over to hong kong island for the shopping spree.. LOL. They were having their sales there, similiar to our GSS. Went to sogo at causeway bay and also the times square to do some shopping.. but sian, guys didn't have much flair for shopping.. whahaha..
Streets of their "CBD"
Does the sign looked familiar?
After shopping, when to the hk convention center.. too bad 30th was the day where they had their celebrations of all sorts and i think some delegates were over at the convention center.. most roads were closed and i couldn't take a good shot of the "turtle".

By mid afternoon, we were at one of the longest conveyor belt. It was a up hill trip. Stopped by at soho.. but it was quite "ang mor" over there.. a bit like our holland v.. haha.. and the food there are mostly western.. plus, a lot of bars also. By then, it started raining heavily.. sian to meet up with rain lor. Bought an umbrella at 7-11.. but the umbrella wasn't that good.. and it cost a lot.. haha.. so sad. Had a non-eastern meal at soho.. lol.. we chose mexican.
The Escalatorsssssssss
Searched for a place to club for the night, but the weather was rather bad for a clubbing session.. haha.. imagine.. when you exit from the club, seh from the drinks.. and in the rain, had to find a cab or transport of somesort home.. lol.. what a lousy feeling. In the end, called off the plan.. but we did some walking at Lan Kwai Fong.
LKF ^^
Went downhill before deciding on the trip to victoria peak by bus. Wow.. it was quite an uphill trip.. on a double deck bus too. The roads were narrow, and seems quite dangerous on a rainy day. Luckily it was an uphill trip, and hence the speed was slower.
Bus to the Peak.. LOL.. the person behind me asked me is the bus double decked.. LOL.. how would i know??
Reached the peak at 5pm or so.. it was the eve of the 10 year anniversary of hk returning back to china, and so we thought that there might be some sort of fireworks. At the peak, there was some sort of EA games exhibitions.. whahaha.. and the games where all FOC! Played NFS and other games before deciding to move up to the peak tower. Was approached by the people of hk tourism board, and was asked a few questions.. lol.. i think they were quite interesting people lor.. haha.. so when they asked which country that i'm from, i'm so happy to reply "singaporean".. whahahaa... don't know why.. so glad that people had laid the foundations.
The Peak Galleria
EA Games! FOC ^^
Waited till 7 or so when the buildings of central started lighting up.. whoa.. so nice, if not for the fog/cloud that covered them. Then worst still, the rain came.. argh... spoiled the whole show.. haha.. by then, it was pretty crowded at the peak tower.. LOL.. we started "camping" from 6pm till 8pm.. trying to get a good view of the fireworks display.. but it was a rain display... LOL.. don't know the people from hktb got the correct news or not.. said there was supposed to be a display. LOL.. pek chek from waiting in the rain, we decided to go back. Took the tram down... whaha.. it was rather fun wor.. the buildings were all slanted by more than 45 degrees.. too bad was on the wrong side of the tram.. didn't get a good view.
Day view from the peak.. it was quite cloudy that day..
Night view.. nice hor? Too bad got rain and it was still cloudy...
I forgot where i had my dinner.. whaha.. but it was roast goose again! Wahahahaa... this time round, i had picture evidence. Then it was back to the hotel to tah again.. lol.. drinking trip sia.
