The HongKong/Shanghai trip was fantastic!!
it was a reli relaxing n nice vacation, a great end to moi hols.. after a mth of working regular long hrs at citibank right after my exams, which meant wks of cramming n stress...
tho i was sick juz b4 e hols, sorta food poisoning.. i managed to eat well by the second night in hongkong, with some tlc.. luckily i got well..it'd be such a pity to nt b able to try e good food. ;p
e challenge in hk was to speak n understand their language, which i'm reli bad in. as ed put it, every meal is a challenge ;p but we managed to order pretty decent food w ed's dim sum standard cantonese..ha thank goodness!
hk's weather was great! cool, but nt too cold.. tink shopping centre temperature on the streets, plus cool breeze..wow! we reached hk on 23rd nite.. ed planned it such tt we cld spend our xmas there. e view of e hongkong skyline frm the habour was breath-taking!! esp at nite with the building all lighted up, n they had pretty xmas decor! we went to walk around on e 1st nite there.. n we walked down the avenue of stars.. its lyk tiz long walkway, with hanging lights in the shape of stars..n on e grd there're tiles with famous artistes' hand-imprints..
we went ocean park e nxt day!! i had so much fun! was looking forward to gg there.. rem watching hk drama serials since young, with kids in the show alwiz yearning to go ocean park! e rides were rather mediocre..except the roller coaster rides of coz! i've tiz phobia for roller coaster, but i'll convince myself to try em despite knowin tt i'll scream my head off.. i take comfort in knowing tt at least its temporary.. ;) juz being on the rides with him is enough to make me feel at ease, with him taking my hands in his.. *smiles* i love the sealion n dolphin show.. they're so adorable, n reli smart..makes me wonder how much effort it took to train them to their standard today. Impressive! n they've interesting snacks there.. we tried a green cocktail drink, teriyaki bbq squids (a huge plate of it! we onli managed to finish half e portion), n curry fishballs.. we chanced upon tiz caricature drawing stall there n we had one done! w underwater world as e theme for our backgrd..w a NEMO!! din reli look lyk us,but it's so cute! ha ask me n i'll show u..;p nt cheap tho, cost us a whooping 120hkd
they had a fireworks display on xmas.. nt v remarkable tho, i tink spore can do so much betta! =D e streets were cordoned off n e entire tsim sha tsui became lyk a pedestrian mall.. super crowded, had to inch our way thru..needless to say, the train station was so packed! horrifying.. ha can feel e xmas-y mood tho there weren't any proper countdowns..n everywhere was v crowded in hk during my 4days stay there, up til midnite..amazing? e shops dun close so early comparatively..
we went up to victoria peak! via tiz tram tt was travelling almost vertically.. e view was spectacular! wld haf been betta if it weren't as hazy..but stil, awesome!! felt recharged juz merely standing there! ;) took the ferry back..their well-known green n white ferry. e tide was so high, wld haf fallen into the sea if we weren't careful enough..
his parents r wonderful! v nice n pleasant.. they took reli gd cr of me on the trip! (n vice-versa of coz!!;p ) n they're v loving too.. bt i shall nt post their photos here..muz respect their privacy! i truely enjoyed tiz trip with them!but then agn, i wasn't a tad worried to begin with.. haf met them before.. ;)
i got a gorgeous sweater from ed for xmas! its says "ME" in front n a "respect ME" at e back w a crown.. he surprised me on the day we were leaving for the airport.. he got it for me coz ME stands for Michelle & Edward..gosh so sweet rite?;p i can stil vividly rem his expression when telling me tiz.. *smiles* its actually tiz missy-elliott collection frm adidas which he got in new york.. he got a brown adidas sweater for himself, n we went looking around for sweaters for his parents e day b4.. he was trying to get matching ones for all of us! thanks dear, for making me feel i'm a part of e family...
