Hong Kong Day 3

Currently listening to:

Sungha Jung, Official Website

So I've heard a lot about Disneyland.

Grew up watching Disney movies and am heavily influenced therefore I still believe in Happily Ever After.

Most people that I've encountered and learnt that the trip included Disney went...'Yer why go Disneyland?! So small!'

Oh well...I've not been to any other Disneylands before. I've got no expectations and hence, IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!

No seriously, I think I texted Nat and said that stepping into Disneyland is more gan jeong compared to recording in the studio. HA!!! Suka!!

OH OH and we had the privilege to bunk in Hollywood Hotel!

Checked in at approximately 11am and the Disney Bus ushered us into the realm of fantasy.

*sniff*

Oh and being in HK unleashes the tendency in me to dress funky so... ><

My jaw was aching from all the smiles from the first step set in onwards.

I know la I jakun never been to other Disneylands before so to me this is damn bootifoo hokay?!

So I snapped this picture and thought I would be space jammed into fairytale land.

MEH!!! Had to walk for another 20-minutes or so.

Entrance.

Many entrances. But it was cool. They had Disney themesongs playing ALL THE WAY!

And they were in English. *wipes sweat*

2nd entrance.

Not a public holiday. Crowd was bearable.

Mainland people were under control. Thank god.

Daddy and I had multiple WAHHHHs d at this point.

That was how amazed we were.

Main Street USA.

I think you get this street in all Disneylands. Very classic.

Oh and despite being famished, I insisted to go into this Main Street Sweets thingy because I thought it would be something like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inside.

They had VERY.EXPENSIVE.LOLLIPOPS.

And these...

Mechanical candies.

Nice.

Since I promised to pay for the meals, I had the authority to just walk into any restaurant that I fancied and the parents will be left with no choice but to just go...'Ok lor'.

XD.

Come home eat hay. *lower lips tremble*

Venue: Corner Cafe

Price: About HKD370

Generous portions. Tasted REALLY good.

If you're heading there, please get the seats outside.

It's air-conditioned and you get to see all the hype going on outside...which is quite a scene.

Some cheese-baked rice and grilled chicken.

Dessert was mango+black glutinous rice & cheesecake.

In comparison, Kim Gary sucks big time.

Food Court about 5 minutes away.

They sold burgers for HKD10 each. *lower lips trembling more*

Oh and yes, grab all flyers and maps that you see.

The more the better because somehow, they'll go missing.

We were practically NOT in the park yet.

The journey only begins after the Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Parade begins at 3. We had time to kill.

So cantik. Me. XD

Would be nice if they really built a path up the castle. But kids might start jumping out, anticipating their Prince Charming or Superhero to save them so...better not.

AND THEY HAD MICKEY ICE-KWIM!!!

HKD20.

Tasted like...ice-kwim.

Oh yes, I brought my sohai-ness to HK.

Forced Daddy to snap this. When I turned back, a huge group of Mainland people were staring.

HA. NI HAO!

Go for every show that you can.

Cause the place is really not very big and there aren't many shows available.

We went for a 4D show. TWICE.

SO AWESOME.

And then this Lion King Show.

I swear the ring smelt of animals.

Animal poo to be exact. But no animals were harmed for the show.

Super entertaining. And it's not pre-recorded.

So.Realistic.

The Tarzan boat ride was under construction. So we chose a spot and waited for the parade to begin.

My spot.

You get little princesses everywhere!

All colours. All styles.

Little Belles and Cinderellas.

Little Xiao Hua.

Random shots of the parade.

Spot...SOTS.

THIS WAS COOL!!!!

I wonder what they use to remove their makeup daily.

They must be green by nature.

Took the indoor rollercoaster by myself.

All dark. Very fast. Nearly fainted.

Sorry. The bend was really steep.

Met 3 random locals.

They had no idea I wasn't local until I told them so. Don't really like doing so because I'd get random questions like, "You're not local?! Why are you so fair?!" or..."How come you speak Cantonese?!"

They don't get that...We.Is.Chinese.Too. *facepalms*

Next stop, Small World.

Basically a miniature version of the globe.

SO.DAMN.ASTONISHING!!!

This is just the outside of course. We had to take a little sampan that travels into something like a cave which led us to something more colourful than our dreams.

Miniature...erm...underwaterworld?

The It's a Small World song kept looping throughout the whole journey.

In different themes ie Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Indian...

Now these...really reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Minus the chocolate river.

Daddy was so gungho we went in twice. Back to back.

Because he said...'First time spent to much time taking photos to show Che. Go again this time must pay attention'.

LMAO

MUNKIE SPOTTED!!!

Left the mini world and hung around until fireworks at 8pm.

View at dusk.

Dark clouds loomed. SO SCARED.

But all was good.

Fireworks were jaw-dropping.

Left for the hotel at...around 9pm.

Hollywood Hotel

2 Queen sized beds.

ONE FOR ME AND ONLY ME. RAWR

Turkey leg dinner.

HKD20 per piece. Took me about an hour to reach its bones.

I was wearing the wrong t-shirt. -.-"

They had a mass variety of Disney shows on.

Including a bedtime Disney story narrating. Only until 11pm.

So as I climbed into my warm sheets, I heard '...and they lived happily ever after'.

MEH!!!

Another half a Disney journey to go. Wah this is quite tiring.

And I'm so proud of my hardworking self. Peace.

The Peanut Reviews

The movies that I've watched lately aren't...so good.

I wanted to watch Shrek but Linda said it's lame and pretty bad and she basically told me the whole story while we were strolling over from Nike to GSC a couple weeks back so...yeah.

Wanted Karate Kid cos it's Jaden Smith but apparently there's nothing else better to watch hence all tickets went out.

Wanted A-Team but it wasn't out yet then therefore we settled for Bounty Hunter and Robin Hood.

Worst decision ever made.

Ok so we didn't really buy tickets for both the F-Grade movies.

We settled for Bounty Hunter initially because I wasn't really fond of Russell Crowe and...there wasn't anything else to watch so...with spirits really low, Bounty Hunter was it.

Review: Walked outta the cinema

10-minutes into the movie I was paying more attention to the sushi that I tapao-ed in.

Don't even buy DVD ok? Promise. Just watch random clips from youtube you'd know the whole story. Oh nono...just look at the bloody poster you know how it starts and ends. -.-"

I know I know I was stupid to even choose it but...no choice can? Le sigh

Then we walked outta the cinema...back into the lounge area and decided to...check out the other cinemas. Prince of Persia was already 1/2way running...the rest were full.

Ok fine. Robin Hood then.

Second row from the front.

Review: -.-"

If you did watch Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves by Kevin Costner, you'd prolly understand why I said the movie sucked.

Ok wait wait...you're right why should we be sulking and comparing to the old ones. Why can't we move on and accept new ideas. It's Ridley Scott for crying out loud!

Always having his own elements ey? Oh yeah and the action was cool? Sorry I'm not you...just lemme beeeee

Russell Crowe is just too old to be in a...pre-Loxley era.

Cate Blanchett was fierce though. Loves.

-------

And finally...something good.

Review: *GRINS*

Oh well alright I admit.

I'm biased. I've been a Gyllenhaal fan ever since he looked like...

I wanted to name my son Jake and I could memorize lines from the movie I'm pretty sure Babi wanted to slap the fuck outta me.

'I have to get to Niagara Falls by Saturday to stop Chloe from getting married' ~ Jimmy Livingston, Bubble Boy.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

And yes I watched almost all his movies including the 'cool' Donnie Darko and not so cool Breakyourback Mountain. And all the other indie ones that I shall not name. See here ---> JAKE GYLLENHAAL

It took me a while to get used to his new self. I played the game but no, just forget about the fact it was adapted. I think the critics overrated it but the graphics were pretty fine (hell, like I know fucks about graphics) and the storyline wasn't totally predictable.

And best of all, we all did something in common.

We love ostriches.

Hello Monday.

When Antibiotics Fail & Chinese Meds Recipe

So I fell ill again on Wednesday while attending training.
Fever.
Cough.
Soarthroat.

and...

Borderline BP reading.

C.R.A.P

I'm usually paranoid that I might be suffering from the deadliest diseases ever. BP reading was high a year plus back, have been keeping it under controlled and seeing it fluctuate once again...does make white hair sprout.

It doesn't help when the doctor wasn't friendly, was throwing jargons at me and...the bill was a bomb.

*after waiting for 40mins in the fucking cold A&E section*
Doctor: Sit down. Close the door. So what do we have here?

Me: I'm cold. REALLY COLD. A little soar throat...have been coughing *and I blurted out my flu history to her including how I had pre-hypertension when I was in Advertising*
Doctor: Open your mouth. *shines torch*. Hmm. Throat's really red. Need to monitor your cough. Come back next week. Might be bronchitis.
Me: HAH?!?!? *got cut off*
Doctor: But your lungs are clear. Just in case.
Me: Oh. -.-". And my BP?
Doctor: You're worried? Yeah I'm concerned too. Usually cough and the lack of sleep might trigger. I want you to come back on Friday. Wanna keep it monitored. Ok you can collect your medicine outside.
Me: -.-""". Ok. Thanks.

Wanted to ask more but...wadafak la no need don't like you auntie.

*At the counter*
Me: How much ar?
Nurse: HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN, please. :)
Me: HAH?!?!? HOW MUCH!?!?!?
Nurse: O.o...hundred and thirteen. :)
Me: HAH?!?!?! I don't have so much cash la. Card la can?
Nurse: Oh sure sure can. :)
Me: *thinks to self* Cibai so damn mahiao still wanna smile liddat. *facepalms*

So there...completed course.

Never turned up for the check today. Giving myself a few days. Sleeping early. Taking my oats like a good child. And hopefully it stabilizes.

:(. Now someone gimme a hug.

Speaking of medications, was pampering myself to...erm...a little shopping this evening after work. Walked past Koong Woh Tong and decided to get a shot of the herbal tea to detox.

You know, those black shit that smells and tastes...like shit too? -.-"

So I think this is what happens before one actually consumes the bowl of crap.

Pick your herbs. Usually depends on your sickness.

Either your body masuk angin, your bones masuk air or your qi lari and mixed with fire.

So sinse will choose random roots and leaves and seeds and taruh all into a pot.

Pour in 5 cups of water.

Must use traditional ugly pots liddat if not magic won't work.

Pour in the water. Medium fire, boil till water evaporates and fills a bowl. Must be a bowl. Kenot be more magic won't work oso. Size of bowl...the book never interpret. Only mentioned A BOWL.

The medication is ready to be consumed when:

1) The neighbours call bomba

2) The neighbouring country thinks Dengue rate is so high the whole country got fogged (yes, that's how much the med stinks)

3) Open up the lid and check out the colour of the crap. Don't see a thing? All black? Ok can. Pour into a bowl.

Pinch ur nose.

Close your eyes.

Down.

Most probably, you'd end up like this.

But apparently it works.

And it costs...RM1.30.

Like...a million times lower than SunMed.

Or is it more than a million?

Hah.

Ok shit sleep.

1am d.

*lower lips tremble*

The Wedding, Foam & The Weekend

Currently listening to:

500 Days of Summer, OST

So I disappeared for a week.

Courtesy of the flu bug. Still partially here but to hell with you I'm resuming my normal life.

Peanut's believe...try acting fine. Lie to yourself. Your system. Instead of frowning. You might feel better.

Might.

Last week was total epic fail.

Left work slightly early, F1-ed to Lynnie's house, changed and we set out together to a god-forsaken place called Selayang Palace.

God-forsaken. So we thought.

Took us almost 2 hours to get there. *shakes head*

Garmin failed me yet again. The map given by the restaurant was trash. Attempts to ask locals were...futile as they only spoke Chinese (and we have no idea what Selayang Palace is in Cinapek) so all I got was (loosely translated): 'Hah, here no palace wor. Got hospital and shopping mall la'.

-.-"

So anyone who's heading there in the near future, just head to Pusat Bandar Selayang, search for the hospital, go slightly forward and turn left at a tiny little junction that leads you to a dodgy King Coil building. Restaurant's at the back. (If you miss, takper. Go all the way to the traffic, light, go thru the horrendous jam, U-turn, go all the way back to god-knows-where, then U-turn again, and take the same road. Good luck).

The Oh-So-Youngs

No four-season bullshit.

Scallops, full force. We had 2 of this because we switched tables. Awesome.

And they served Abalone too. -.-"

Roomie. Wo hen xiang ni.

Bao Yue.

And no I didn't mean this piece...earlier on.

She's a prove miracles do happen.

Bitch. *jealous mode*

Drebar.

XD

Fell sick right away hence went missing.

All's worth it for the food.

Sekian.

-----------------------------------------------

After staying away for approximately 2 weeks from Pyramid, I had my dose of Juice Works today.

Beetroot juice without ice is as gross as you think it is. Had fun seeping the fibre outta it and sucked it right down to its foam. Then got me wondering...

You know how annoying the sound is when one is sucking foam outta the narrow straw. And have you wondered what foam is? Foam is basically a substance of trapped bubbles isn't it? So sucking foam is basically sucking air. Means sucking nothing.

Ironically, sucking nothing always creates a non-harmonious, disturbing sound.

And just got me thinking...how certain dense people are like...foam.

The emptier they are, the louder they become, blabbing their lives away for no particular reason. And worst of all, they're always floating on the surface. Found everywhere, never willing to sink.

And always the leftovers too.

-.-"

Don't be foam la can? Bising la.

Ok just a random PMS thought.

Need to blog about Hong Kong Day 3 FAST! Work hampering in, memory fading out.

Oh and the weekend was Fantabulous. Because I saw my love of entah-how-many-years.

Haaa.

<3

Sorry Ah Kot.

Linda shall blog about you.

Now...

Work.

小喇景...

One, Toot, Tweet, Foh...

Currently listening to:

Turn Left, Turn Right OST

...and still counting.

It's probably the lack of liquor.

Cough syrup does not make up for it.

Although...one of it...does taste pretty good.

And there's one good thing about being this ill...you feel loved.

Not that I don't feel loved enough already but...oh well, 'optimistically' speaking...despite feeling like crap, it's the only good thing about being sick.

Need to be well for Jan Lamb.

Been waiting since...FOREVER!!!

Now, excuse me while I go spit out the...excessive.
