The journey of Hong Kong

The hong kong trip… I was fun n excited in the beginning as me and my family make the way to the airport at 5.30am… then when I reach the airport, got a surprise! I met my church pastor there also as he’s going to Cambodia with 3 of my church members… so qiao… haha… then the flight was delayed cos one runway was closed so all the plane have to land and take off at the same runway, and landing planes have priority, so that’s why…
We reach hk at abt 12.30pm… after that we went back to hotel b4 going for sightseeing… the hotel was a great disappointment… it’s sooooo small that after putting in the luggage, there’s NO space to walk, and some more must shift the bed in order to open the fridge!
But that didn’t dampen our spirit la… cos I think we’ll spend most of the time outside… the tour guide bring us for a desert b4 going ladies street for shopping, after that a temple which I dun understand what’s going on, then dinner at lei yue men… then go to Victoria peak for a great view of hk city… but too bad can only stay there for 15mins.. cos I really love the view and the temperature there… abt 18 deg…

2nd day there… we went for dimsum breakfast b4 going to repulse bay, stanley market, aberdeen fishing village, jwellery factory… but like v rush so didn’t get to see much in each place… after that went for a roast goose lunch which I eat quite a lot… then we went to the train station to go Shenzhen… took abt 45mins b4 we reach the immigration, and have to stamp the passport twice… haha…
In Shenzhen, the traffic there is move on the right side one, cos is china liao ma… haha… the hotel there was a total difference from hk… there it’s so big and cozy, with a big lobby & a Christmas tree there… and I really hope I can stay there for the whole trip… we went for dinner which I can’t each much cos I too full after eating too much lunch… then went for shopping… there the things are really cheap… like only abt 1/3 of the price here…so buy a lot of things there… but too bad only got 2 hrs, have to rush like crazy… :p

3rd day… got a buffet breakfast at the hotel cafĂ©…there got play Christmas carols but the CD keep on getting jam… so quite funny also… haha… then we go to windows of the world where the whole’s famous landmark are all there! Like the paris effiel towel, Nigeria falls, etc etc… there also got a snowcity and we get to go in for a while and experience temp of -10 deg… wow soooo cool…
After lunch, went for a ‘medical talk’ and my parents spend like more than $1000+ sing dollar for the medicine… hope it works well… then we went to splendid china but we only got 45mins there so have to rush like crazy again… we just took the tram and finish everything in less than 30mins and didn’t absorb anything at all except for some randomly shot photos which are unclear due to the fast moving tram… like wasting money sia… L but the cultural was great… after that pay S$8 for a dinner which seems to be the worse one for the trip… then we went back to hk…

On 4th day, in the morning f&e b4 we go Disneyland at 10am… it was suppose to be a fun-filled day after reaching there… but the weather was like so hot so a bit sian… then after a while my brother starting to feel dizzy and sick so he and my mum go back to hotel first… so left me and my dad… we just walk around and took some rides… the queue were so long so like one ride took abt 1hr… also ate lunch n dinner there, plus managed to catch the beautiful fireworks there…
But after we left Disney, things starts to turn bad not just for me, but the whole tour group… my bro was already puking vomiting n diahorrea in the hotel and I also started puking on the way back to hotel.. think is the stupid dinner at disney’s starliner cos after eating that I started to feel werid… plus a few others also starting vomiting b4 that… so 3 of us went to the hospital…

Throughout the night I keep vomiting and having diahorrea… sianz man… haven had that for v v long time liao.. then had to have it overseas.. LLL but not just me and my bro… but another 10 ppl in the group also fall sick at the same time.. so together like 12 out of 17 ppl in the group were sick on the last day.. so no mood for shopping at all but to go hospital or lie on the bed…
So everyone was like dying as we left the hotel to the airport… then we were late due to all the waiting… plus have to take so many travellators to reach the aircraft… almost died… then another bad thing… the plane couldn’t take off due to some fault, and we had to sit in the plane for almost 1 ½ hrs b4 it took off… plus the dinner provided was sucks too… although we already had no appetite the sucky dinner plus the delay made it worse… so in all the last day was a total disaster…
But thank god we’re all back safety in one piece and have recover from the illness...
