Our virgin trip!

Happy New Year! (even though I'm a few days late but heck) Holidays have ended and we are all back to school. Went to HK with the guys during the first week of the holidays, it was the first time we travelled together and I have to say, I cant wait for the next one!

First day, we did'nt really do much as we reached HK @ about 8+ pm. Went out to have our dinner at Dragon Best Restaurant which is really near where we stayed. First taste of HK food and it was pretty good! Didnt do much after that, we went back for our sleep to prepare for the second day!

                       

                           

Second day started with breakfast at some dimsum place that Chris had brought us to which turned out to be really really good, like seriously super good! We were all really full and couldnt finish the food but for 7 of us, the total bill was only 82SGD! Cheappppppp! The Char Siew Bao there probably the best thing I have ever eaten! Gotta try it out guys! After breakfast, we took off for Mongkok! Mongkok was really good! Did some street shopping and its really something you cant get in Singapore! We didnt really get a lot of stuffs from there due to the rain. I got a pair of fake Toms! Along the streets nearby were official retails stores full of sporting goods and everywhere I go was shoes...shoes...shoes! SHOES EVERYWHERE! Didnt really get anything from those retail stores because they were just about the same as the prices over here. Spotted a NBA store that sells all the basketball stuffs, the coolest basketball stores I have ever been to! They have everything over there, jerseys, tees, socks, just really nice! Copped myself a pair of black NBA socks over there. After shopping, we went off for our dinner! Dinner @ some place that sells claypot rice and I have to say, that was the best claypot rice I had ever eaten in my life and I'm pretty sure some of the guys would agree with me! Headed by to our apartment and we played cards through the night.

Third day started really late. We were all tired from the day before and when we woke up, it was almost lunch so we started the day off with BRUNCH! Went to the place Charles had recommended us called Tai Hing! We had all kinds of meat there and even though it was slightly on the expensive side, the food was really good, you will never be able to find char siew like that in Singapore anywhere. Its a MUST TRY guys!

One thing that we had to do in HK, was to look for Hollister! And we did. We went crazy shopping in Hollister and spent about 2 hours in the store just shopping for clothes! And the Hollister models were....OMGGGGGGG PRETTAYYYYYYYYYYY.... I honestly haven seen Asians so pretty in my life ever and their English were spoken perfectly! Especially the ones at the counter and the fitting room. The one at the fitting room was really cute! I was trying on clothes and half way through, she suddenly opened the door of my fitting room as she thought it was not occupied, she said sorry in a really cute way! WHO CARES IF SHE OPENED THAT DOOR, SHE CAN DO IT ANYTIME! hahaha I sound obsessed dont I? haha! All of us came out with more than one item from Hollister. So, MUST GO! Proceeded on to Abercrombie & Fitch afterwards but it was pretty much a disappointment, the store was really big and nice but none of us bought anything from there as it was really expensive. (Probably because we spent too much @ Hollister) Spending too much at the Hollister store, we decided to head back to the apartment and have cup noodles for dinner!

Fourth day was all in Ocean Park! Had a quick breakfast @ Cafe De Coral near our apartment before heading off. First ride of the day was Hair Raiser! And it was really good! Really liked that roller coaster except for the fact that we had to queue for really long (1 hour + maybe?) There were full of kids our age in Ocean Park that day and I think they skip school luh! Cheaterssssss. Second ride was The Flash. I swear, Idk how I get the balls to go up that ride. Its like a 360 degrees turning thingy. When the seat belt and safety thingy was like secured, my mind was like "Where is my mama? ):" But overall, the ride was really good but I just swear I couldnt go a second time, Ruizong was with me on that while the other guys went for a second time afterwards. Watched the dolphin show for a while until some cheena porks pissed us off because they keep pushing and we took the hair raiser for two more times I think, and another roller coaster called The Dragon, which wasnt fun.Ocean Park was good except for the fact that it closes @ 7pm which was really early! After dinner that day, we were all kinda broke but thanks to my uncle! He borrowed us another 1000SGD so we could survive the trip.

Fifth day was spent all @ Citygate Outlets. Bought some tees from there, Yihui and John got their soccer boots. All of us got something. Pretty much nothing that day other than shopping! We had mini steamboat for the night and that rounded off our last official full day over there. Went back to the apartment and we were reluctantly packing to head home.

                               

Last day over there, we were all scrambling to get to the airport because we were late and this was the first time I got on the plane last! We were on last call and we were all running like crazy with our bags and everything! Luckily we got on the airplane on time and off we go.

We are back home now and back to reality. All of us have returned back to our normal lives of school and everything. But all I know is, this is our first but will definitely not be our last trip together. I will be looking forward to the next one. Peace out!
