My nine days in hongkong ..




My frens always ask me
why do i love hongkong so much ..
and
it's so hard too explain ... lol
maybe it's already beyond words ..

i felt very comfortable like home whenever i'm there .. dunno why .. ha
maybe i'm in love with the harbour views , cooling weather in winter , midnight shopping
food , their culture and of cuz my friends there ! .. =)

and this is my 5th visit already for the consecutive yrs !

this time round we decided to spend 9 days
thou our initial plan was 2 weeks -_-"
cuz a holiday at a slower pace is what we want to achieve in this trip =)

it's gonna be another photo galore again !
for those who dun wish to see , u can easily click a button away to close this blog
but please dun leave any nasty comment here ok , i will be upset =(

alright !
here you are ... :)


on the day we depart spore !








the first pic we took when we touch down .. :)



in this trip
we put up at ben's friend cosy pad near mid level ..

showing here the interior of his place .. ^^

it's amazing to enjoy this kind of space in the apartment
as houses in hk are relatively small ..

i love the balcony !


simply love the house concept ...
minimal & clean lines ..


and this is the owner of the house
Mr derrick wong !
wanna say a big thank you for your hospitality
and your meticulous care in this 9 days of our stay =)


our very first full day in hk

we decide to do a preppy get up in this chilly winter ;)


it's so nice to put on clothes that you hardly wear in spore ! =D













one of our fav shops in hk ..

Next
my first visit to

Aqua spirit @ peking rd , tsim sha tsui



This glam venue is one of Hong Kong's hottest bars,
due in no small part to its unbeatable location on the 30th floor of a Tsim Sha Tsui high-rise, where slanted, soaring windows give an incredible bird's-eye-view of the city.





Circular booths shrouded behind strung beads, designer drinks,
and a voyeur's dream location on an open mezzanine overlooking diners at the 29th-floor Aqua, which serves passable Italian and Japanese fare,
make this one of Kowloon's most talked-about venues.


the lift lobby
.........












it's my very first time spending my new year overseas
this time round , derrick throw a party at his place
after that we were quickly swift away to party !






me & ben got pretty drunk lo ..
lobsters again lol





high tea @ Cova Ristorante


i heart desserts & cakes yummy !




tantalizing aromas of cova's pastries , confectioneries & cappuccinos filled in the air

they serve an array of delectable italian delicacies too ..


The interior of cova is a vision of elegance , luxury ,
combined with a unique atmosphere that stimulates conversation & activity .




















spot ! spot !


Mr D doing his fav supermarket shopping !
even in hk ! lol










just being random..
bought this back for supper in one of the night
and i'm so in love with it ..
i seriously wonder how they can turn a simple food into something that's so irresistible for me
simply love the combo of luncheon meat , egg , nissian noodle and the tasty soup !
gaww.. im craving for it again ... =(










sevva is the dining / chill out place
that i would want to visit again !


the interior



The latest project by Hong Kong socialite Bonnie Gokson,
Sevva has garnered a lot of fanfare lately, and with apparent good reason.
The space itself is incredible: a 360-degree balcony offers stunning views of the skyscrapers of Central and Admiralty, the harbour,
and the Kowloon skyline – perfect for sunset drinks and impressing visiting friends or clients.
The furnishings, meanwhile, are straight out of Elle Decor and demand appreciation for their style and easy elegance.


the exterior


over looking a panoramic view of central hk ..





............................


hanging out for drinks ..








2nd round of drinks again ? lol









on the very last day before we leave
we made a trip down to disney ..

i didn't really want to go thou
cuz it's already my 2nd time ...





wanna say a big thank you again to alec
who made this visit possible !
cuz he's a working for disney and made a perfect arrangement for us .






this is ben's first visit
hope he enjoys it !




bye bye disney
doubt i will come again lol
but if i'm back for holiday again i would really love to visit ocean park !
i heard it's great !





guess i overspent a little in this trip
but at least i got most of the things i want .. =p



some of my buys ..


everyone knows im a cap lover haha..


added 6 new caps into my collection this time :)

Last but not least
i will always include this section
captures of moments in any of my trip

these are some photos that i took to share with u guys here ..
















alright peeps
that pretty sums up my hk trip 2008 !
now i'm thinking what to do to kill my post hk blues :(
but i believe i will be back real soon ! ha..

have a nice weekend ahead everyone !
cheers =D

Why u like HK?
Kidding ;p

Mayb becos i went there during summer. It's hot and hummid. That is why i don't have a good impression of that country.

Any food pix?

PS: Ocean park is better than Disneyland.

Unknown said...

looks like every other person i came across is going to HK or Taiwan.

anyway, its always nice to other's travel blog. I hope mine will be good too. I'm going HK after CNY!

Anonymous said...

after travelling for so many countries i personally think hong kong is the most economical country to travel , be it food , shopping etc ...... sevva seems to be worth to pay a visit ..... i will try to find it and pay a visit on my next trip ......

It's great to see your HK entry. and i spotted that you've bought the new design Y-3 belt. well, i bought the same belt too in japan and yes same colour as well. thats why when i see the image, i find it quite familar. btw how much is HK selling? i bought it for bout 150sg last late nov, its not that cheap due to the jap currency saga.
