Hong Kong - Macau Trip Day 4

Day 4 of our trip is purposely scheduled as a free and easy day. We planned to roam around Hong Kong towns to experience the local cultures here. So we woke up slightly later that day, recovering from the tiring Disneyland trip the day before. We walked out from hotel to a nearby porridge stall "Ocean Empire Food Shop" nearby the Wan Chai MTR station for late breakfast. Wilson ordered pork and century egg porridge and I ordered rice  roll with shrimp. Both are Hong Kong's must try and yeap, we tried.

- The rice roll was not that good anyway.. ours are much better -

We then hopped onto the MTR towards "Sham Shui Po" or they called it the wholesale fashion outlet streets according to the Lonely Planet travel booklet. But I was really disappointed as the clothing here was very much fit for the more mature ladies instead.

We then walked towards Ap Liu Flea Market, supposed to be a flea market selling second hand electrical items and funny funny stuff. We were just curious and simply roamed pass the street looking at the shops with piles of old television and recorders with many locals trying to find some good deals there. It does looks like our Petaling Street at some point.

- Sham Shui Po attraction signs, we always look for these signs for clues -

After Sham Shui Po we walked towards Wong Kok for lunch. Found a stall which looked interesting and quite full with customers, "Di Di Xiang Noodles". They are famous for the fish ball noodles, so we ordered 2 bowls of noodles, both dry and soup noodles and also fish cake as appetizer. Turned out this was really nice! The fish ball were so spongy and tasted great. Just that we realised Hongkie food are less salty compared to our food.

After lunch, we walked and shopped a bit around Wong Kok, I bought some clothing from the G2000 outlet which were having Summer sales with really great deal. But the queue to pay was really long everywhere. After some shopping, we then walk towards Gold Fish Street and Fa Yuen Street for more sight seeing. I bought shoes from Fa Yuen Street, as there were too much walking, my legs were killing me at this point already.

- Gold Fish Street; generally just a street selling fishes and aquarium -

- Fa Yuen Street; more like our Petaling Street selling much teenagers and pop styles clothing -

We then hopped onto the MTR towards Tsim Sha Tsui station. Our plan was to walk towards the Avenue of Stars at the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Promenade overseeing Victoria Harbour. By nightfall, it is a popular viewing place for the Symphony of Light display. On the way towards the promenade, we had a quick walk in the big malls e.g. Sogo etc. We had a simple convenient dinner in Sogo.

- Avenue of Stars -

After watching the light show, we moved back to Wan Chai across the sea by MTR. We then roamed around Wan Chai area, walked along the streets. Before we knew it, we walked all the way reaching Causeway Bay already! Well, before heading back to hotel, I dropped by a hawker stall to buy supper to munch back in Hotel. I bought the famous curry fish balls, octopus, siew mai and also "Kai Dan Chai". 

- Me buying supper -

We called it a day after munching those suppers, the curry fish balls were indeed yummy. Really enjoyed the day very much, simply free and easy tour around most renowned places in Hong Kong, before heading back to Macau and then home, the next day.

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
