First excuse: I'm too busy working! (10.30 am to 9.30 pm..or 10 pm on saturdays)
2nd excuse: I need my free to time play Hell Gate: London.
Thirdly: I'm spending my free time on Heroes, Season 2 (Just trying to save the cheerleader..ok!)
So.. as you can see, I've been.. and still am... pretty busy!!!
So just wanna share with everyone.. my FIRST TIME to Macau and Hong Kong! Well, this is the first time I've gone anywhere more 'North' than Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City. Because Disneyland is one of the biggest part of my trip (one of the few fond memories I have of HK), I'm dedicating most of this post to HK Disneyland.
Day 1: Took an afternoon flight to Macau. Arrived there at night. Dinner.. followed by sleep.
Day 2: Morning. We took the ferry to HK.. Yay! This is where the journey of Magic and Adventure begins! (Lol.. Typical Disney)
The view from the ferry leaving for HK.
So weird.. a VOLCANO beside a Tang Dynasty structure.. This is Macau for you..
HONG KONG!!
Getting through the subway was terrible! I always thought Singaporeans walked too quickly.. but it turns out that HongKongers are practically jogging to work! Here's the view as I stepped out of Central MTR station...
A beautiful 3 storey shopping centre.. with a pretty run down residential block above.
The view from street level @ Central. Everyone scattering about like ants in a colony.
Who needs trees for shelter when I've got these wonderful signboards!
This was where we re-charged before heading out for Disney! Clockwise from 12o'clock : Dad, Mum, Ah Lin Gu2, Aunt Esther, Stranger in yellow, Gong2 and Uncle Kok Tai.
Yay! We're going to Disney! Me and ma' Bro..
Everyone's excited!
Finally, we're here! HK DisneyLand!
So this is where they GROW Mickeys!
(in HK, Mickey is pronounced as 'Meh-kay', Goofy is pronounced as 'Gao Fei'.. LoL)
The Disney Trademark life size replica... in full Technicolor!
Wee! Welcome to DisNeeeeyy!
The plaza was littered with quaint little shophouses, coupled by the paved cobblestone streets.. It truly brings out the retro feel.. am I in Sovereign hill (Melbourne) all over again?
This ride is a life storybook, whereby a little train ride brings you into a storybook featuring Winnie the Poo +h.
Next, we wandered into FutureLand!
After a shag day.. it was time to take a break.. So I stoned for a few sec.. before crashing beside my Ah Gong (who totally skipped the stone phase).
After Re-Fuelling at the Space Station, we headed to.
Boeat ride to Tarzan's Tree House.
We also played with Simba's food =)
Sadly.. all good things come to an end... Bidding a tearful good bye to my new friends, Mei-kay and Gao Fei.
After another gruelling MTR ride.. we made it back to town.. this was the start of my Nightmare..
We made our way to Temple Street to meet up with parents for dinner..
A foodstall in Temple Street... THE foodstall which I probably got food poisoning.
Smile everyone! The next dish, Salmonella Supreme coming right up!
HK DisneyLand
JJ Rating: 3.5/5
HK Disneyland is pretty small.. but that's not necessarily a bad thing. We managed to finish it in a single day! I loved the shows especially the Lion King and the 3D show feat. Donald. Golden Mickeys (similar to Golden Horse Awards) was quite nice as the characters come to life! Disneyland is really packed with Family friendly entertainment for both the young and old. Thrill seekers would be greatly disappointed though.. All in all, I totally enjoyed myself and its the single most fun experience I had in HK.
