DAY ONE

Its a Sunday 27th August at 0300hrs and we are still at home, waiting to leave home any moment. Our flight stipulated timing is 0630hrs but I was too excited to sleep even and had wake hubby up to leave home early. Dad and Mom drove to send us to the airport. Being the kuku I am, I told them to alight us at Budget Terminal because I thought that Jetstar Airways was a Budget airline, it should be at Budget Terminal. However, before I even entered, I saw the list of aeroplanes and Jetstar was not inclusive. I had to call Dad and Mom to Uturn back to fetch us again. Argh, I was definitely a muddle head. They were already at the expressway and had to take some time back to Uturn. Once they returned, off to Terminal one we go.

We checked in our Playboy luggage and handcarry another black empty luggage up the plane to put our shopping loots. I have a tendency to buy things for family members and most time, my luggage always triple the amount when we are back so this time we had to prepare ourselves. Or so we thought. Hung around the airport for abit, had kiliney for breakfast and off we go on our flight yay! Did I mentioned that this trip was supposedly planned to celebrate my birthday trip. I was really very excited but could started to feel lethargic already and we slept a little on the squeezy plane. Was starting to regret buying Jetstar, too space constraint and with my big tummy I was feeling very uncomfortable.

3 hrs plus later we arrived at HK !! OMG, I had always wanted to visit hongkong but never had the time, cash, company to go to. We took the airport express which cost 140hkd for 2 and off to Kowloon to sit the free shuttle bus K3 to Nikko Hotel. Hubby had expressed to them over the internet that its our first trip to HK and were celebrating our honeymoon. So we had a warm welcome from them which they also mentioned that they gave us a free room upgrade which I did not think differs from what I had chosen my harbour view room from the internet.



After settling down, we went out to explore. Nearest MTR was East Tsim Sha Tsui. Which was quite a distance from East Tsim Sha Tsui. We covered Mongkok area, ladies street, jardine crescent, causeway bay, Nathan Road, gold fish market, temple street. Quite a bit of major shopping areas for our first day. Cause we were walking most of the time and everywhere was kinda had a linkage. FOOD ! options were really bad.. Even drinks that I ordered or simply from 7-11 tasted quite different. Gold fish market was a street full of pets.. It was an awesome experience and I kept wondering why Singapore did not have such places. I totally love it there. And the shopping building I love most? The 4 storey Forever 21 building which of course I bought clothes not for me but for our family. We headed back to the hotel at around 2200hrs , as the shops closed around that timing and there really isn't much places to head to at night. We decided it was enough for our first day.

Day TWO

Rise and shine and off to the roof top pool we went. I had specially chose Nikko Hotel as it was stated as a 5 star hotel with a swimming pool. Many hotels were fully booked and a most did not have swimming pools. Floated it the water with my baby bump for a bit and the sun was really hot. Hongkong was really humid with bad air and kinda polluted my skin causing all the break outs. Headed to change and off to delifrance for breakfast.


DisneyLAND here we come ! It was a really long trip and full of long walks to the MTR and my leg was starting to get swollen and painful. One thing I dislike is not Hongkong its the Mainland china people who are really rowdy, thick skin and uncivilised. They did not give way to a pregnant lady, I dont mind. But being the first one in the queue, all the way from the back, they could still push and just slam you to the side. That really pisses me off. Thank God hubby was there to protect me and baby. I DO NOT wanna fight with you guys with a seat, just let me squeeze peacefully and successfully. My mood was really dampened. Because all this kinda people were everywhere. Spirits were lifted though when I saw my pooh bear banner inside Disneyland walkway.










I went crazy inside Disneyland, it was like a pooh paradise !!! And maybe cause my lil baby wanted to eat cookies, I spent an unbelievable amount of time inside the disney cookies shop just to choose cookies to eat. LOL. The bill? Needless to say, some amount that my hubby almost fainted. haaha.


















Than it was off to taking pictures with Mascots around Disney. I don't understand why when some of my friends tell me they don't go to Disneyland when they are in HK not even the first time to check the place out as they thought that there was nothing there and probably could comb the entire place in like half an hour ? I have to say that I had an amazing time there. And to top it off, after spending hours without riding the rides even. Its an amazing place. ESP when pooh bear rub my tummy and let me hug him just because I am a FAN. hahaha.















We returned to the hotel to put back our cookie loots and headed over to Habour City. The shopping areas, I din really fancy. I equate them to either Lucky plaza or ION. Nothing much. And every shop basically sell the same stuff.


  
 DAY THREE

Wanted to use the pool, and it was closed due to thunderstorm. What a spoiler. So out we went.


YES ! You din see wrongly. Took this picture specially to make my lil sissy envious. Its a Doraemon exhibition paradise. 




We were at the Ferry Terminal wanting to take Star Ferry To Central to go to ocean park. It was quite cheap I think 8HKD for two.  And it was an experience on board the old Ferry.



Thats's the pier and we cab down about 69HKD to Ocean park cause the city bus just left and will only arrived 1hr later. 


Definitely looking forward to going up the Ocean Park. So exciting. Although it was hot and humid.
And so many PEOPLE !!! For short, hubby and me called them Cucumbers. Cucumbers, cucumbers, cucumbers are everywhere !


We went inside and the queue to go in the GIANT aquarium was very long. We went through it anyway. 






Finally we were out of the aquarium. And my feet was sore and I had to constanly apply Yoko Yoko which hubby had sweetly bought for me. To numb my legs while feeling hot. I was so much in pain and agony but I did not wanna waste my holidays. Guess its because Im preggie thats why my legs have never walked till this painful until the heels had water bubbles even while wearing the most comfortable FITT FLOPS. Sighz.


 


Cant buy him so I have to make do with a picture. Too much soft toys I have to ask Hubby to control me.






And We came to the land of the GOLDfish... reminds me of that surprise advanced present that Hubby bought for me before we left for the trip. Sigh. Another long story.





We were exhausted . Off to some game stalls that they had. Hehehe. Hubby was looking at the basketball games that they had and while playing he sucessfully won me a toy. Yay.








Ocean Park is really huge and we had to take either train or cable car to the other side where the rides were. The cable cars seems really unstable and had creaking sound hahahah. We held on for dear life.



Over the other end where rides were, there was also North and South pole animals.. And it happened to the penguins feeding time. They are so cuteand systematic that they actually know that one penguin is limited to one big fish and queued up and automatically walked away once they had their share. 



After days of carrying whatever stuff we bought, my handbag, DSLR camera(I swear they were very heavy), I could tell Hubby really wanted to ride one of the thrill rides but he just did not want me to wait alone. Hence when I saw one the thrill rides had the shortest queue I told him to go ahead and to reward himself. After much hesitation and persuasion, he finally went and sat the FLASH. Boy was I glad that I was preggie and could not sit, the ride look like a mind blowing one.
 







 MY BIRTHDAY AT THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT

Now I just wanna digress a bit from the itinerary of events. Of course DAY THREE was also my birthday and at the stroke of mid night, I had already fallen asleep on the bed. Hubby woke me up with my favourite Cheesecake and with it being lighted sang a happy birthday song  for me I was very much surprised that he was so sweet and nice and I was speechless that after that he took out a bunny hand written card. I WAS ELATED to the max. The simplest gesture is one of the most heart warming one. And he bought the card along time ago and brought it together to HK. Thanks for the thoughts and every single details that you have thought of and provided me so that I can have the sweetest birthday from our far away island. I love you.


Back to where I stopped. After ocean park, we headed to The Peak. OH and it was another uphill walk. The wait just to take the tram was AN HOUR. Initially we thought it was just another center. We went to Madam Tussands. 















































Interestingly, you dont have to call their waiter, just turn the signboard to stop and they will come to your table to attend to you. We ordered light up glass smoothie and we got to bring the cute glasses back after were done drinking. 

Our seafood feast with an expensive bill but hubby said just for my birthday it is okay. How sweet.


Greedy me cant wait to gobble the food I was starving for days !!!!! hahaha. The food tasted like fish and Co but 10 times nicer. Very very fresh.

 



Morning view of our room was fabulous as well. We decided to head over to macau today. Went over to take ferry at China Hongkong Ferry Terminal. Tickets was about 600HKD for a return ferry ticket. Once there, we came out and saw a row of booths advertising different hotels and different free shuttle buses to their hotels. We chose The Venetian cause I googled and they mentioned that its one of the biggest and best casinos to go into and explore.

The place seemed like a little island like batam with lotsa big infrastructures catering like genting but with nicer views and designs. After playing a little at the casino, we were went shopping around Macau and headed back thereafter. Before that I spotted Naraya and went crazy again. I just have a thing for bags with ribbons. The bags were quite expensive in Macau as compared to Bangkok. Nevertheless I did grab a couple bags before we headed back.

Day FIVE 

Finally its our last day. With swollen feet and blistered heels, I was feeling really really tired. Force myself to get ample rest until check out time. The silly thing was I specially chose a hotel with a pool only to use it one day as I was too tired the subsequent days.

Before checking out here is a happyfamily picture of us to tell our child next time that daddy and mommy did bring you along to HK. hee.
