I'm currently wondering what to write.
It's been sometime since I'm back from HK. Been wanting to blog since then but havnt had the chance till now.
I had a lot to write during then but as time passed, I guess most of these thoughts faded... Now, I cant seem to recall the thoughts during then..
The trip to Hong Kong was a memorable one. I believe this was partly due to the weather. Kinda love the cool weather. And of course there is the unique streets over there. Walking the streets in Zhuhai, Macau and Hong Kong are different from walking those in Sg. Guess it's a different culture (though all are asian countries).
Zhuhai seems like (and reminds me of) China. i'm not surprised as it's part of China. Kinda reminds me of the times @ shanghai.. The hotel was spacious. Beautiful. Macau's a unique one. A mixture of the more china / hong kong style building and the western (portugese to be exact) builds. Kinda love the western setting. St Paul, the street near St paul, the church etc~ Cannon tower was a interesting one as it overlooks the stadium and buildings. Fisherman Wharf and Venitian's the place which started my journey to "Dreamland coming to Reality".
Fisherman Wharf's a place that's filled with many manmade structure. Structures that you'll find in European countries. Since I cant get there (as yet), Fisherman would be a good substitute... Venetian's a lovely place. The ceiling's painted white and blue. It makes the place looks like it has a open concept. Overall the place provides a "dreamy" setting.. Makes a good setting to the gamblers who are there filled with dreams of riches I guess~
A sudden thought came to my mind. What will happen if they create a section of "along the night streets" (where the sky is dark).
After Macau was Hong Kong.
My memory of Hong Kong was Disney land~ Though many ppl found Disney less fantastic as the rest of the place, I found it fantastic cause it really brought me back to dreamland. It's like entering a realm where fantasy turned reality. There was a plague somewhere near the entrance which was rather meaningful. Part of it wrote,
"Disneyland is dedicated to the young and the young at heart - with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration.."
Somehow the words just sent a spark of joy through my heart and I realise that I can let the child within free~ That was the most fantastic day I had thus far. Esp the parade and the nightime firework in the night. Not forgetting the phototaking with the characters, the 3D donald duck musical show, the "lion" show and the stitch show. All those were fantastic~ the only pity was the camera being dysfunctional during all these events..
The rest of the time was spent on shopping. Shopping, shopping and shopping. Well, actually we went to the Ave of Stars, big buddha and the huang da xian too. Dropped by Lan Gui Fang. (A pity we didn stay to drink etc~~ Maybe the next time ba) We went to the peak too. A pity that the weather was too cold and misty. Due to this, nth could be seen.. But as usu~ We had our own fun taking many ridiculous pics~
Well, all in all the trip was fantastic. O yes. the hostel we stayed in was also commendable. The room can be on par with hotelrooms. The only down side was the outlook was not as fantastic as hotels.
O yes. There's also the Obama poster that caught my attention. Says there "From Dreamer to Achiever". Sounds cool. But how many can make their dreams reality? Still, the slogan was started me thinking~~
All these events were bout 3 weeks ago...
The past 2 days werent that fantastic. Got a very bad news. Walk-a-jog was not very well organised as well. Actually I have thought of the things needed like loud hailer and safety vehicle. But I didn do it.. Imagine getting 2 hits within 2 days.. Not gonna fill in the details.
The following webbies contains some of my fav pics~
