Let's talk about Hong Kong!

Hong Kong! Been there last monday till thursday. Had been really lazy to blog about it.
Let's see...Been there with weihao and junhao. Took jetstar there and got the seats beside the emergency exit so quite spacious.

View from the plane

Hotel was in Mongkok. Mongkok metropark hotel. Very near Prince Edward MTR. We took the Airport Express and alighted at Kowloon station before moving on to the edward station.

Bought the Octopus card which is the same as ez link card. Walked around Central area but couldn't find any place for lunch. Ironically food in HK was hard to find. Kena chopped carrot cake by the cha chan tin we went to. Damn it. The price was written on the menu but they charged us extra in the end. Didn't realise till we left the shop. Went to Harbour city and window shopped around a bit till the legs near broke. Walked a bit around Avenue of stars which supposedly have the handprints of HK film stars. Boring. Then watched the Symphony of lights nearby. Supposedly one of the tourist attractions in HK but i felt that it wasn't exactly incredible. Went to the night market after that. It was similar to Bugis village so it wasn't really that interesting. Wasted the night there. Anyway went to a very interesting dessert shop for food. Was great there. Should go there again.

HK was very foggy

The second day we woke up quite early and had breakfast at the nearby shop. Not bad the food i would say, though the dumpling and milk tea were weird. Went to Ocean Park after that. It was really an interesting place i would say. Like zoo that shows marine live. Entrance fee was expensive though. About SGD40. It wasn't as boring as i heard though. If anyone that goes to HK never go to that place, he cannot say that he has been to HK.

Anyway, Ocean park was humongous. The kids' section was at one side of the hill and we had to take the cable car to the other side. Omg the cable car was high, though not as high as what we were going to experience the following day. I managed to take a picture of the seal swimming in one of the exhibits. It smiled at me.


The seal that said hello to me

After that we watched the animal show. Incredibly smart dolphins. And i really respect those human performers that jumped into the water when the temperature was like 18degrees. The water must have been much colder. The performing seals were stupid though. There was one seal that didn't really understand the commands given.



Dived into the water too and took a photo from within the waters.



Nah..not really into the water. Just took the photo from outside the tank. It was really a wonderful sight looking into the water, looking at the fishes swimming.

Explored around after that and found a really typically cha chan tin that serves not-too-bad food. The bo lo bao was extremely nice! Didn't take note of the shop name though. After lunch we headed to the tram ride for Victoria Peak. The tram ride was crazy. I've never taken any transport that actually climbs the hill at about 45degrees. I'm absolutely not kidding here. It was incredible that the tram can actually have the power to bring so many passengers up to the peak.

Saw Jay chou at the top of the hill. He was filming something. Had his picture taken too. Saw him inside the Madame Tussaud's wax museum. Wonder what he was filming...

Anyway after that, we waited to see the sunset. As the shopping areas weren't exactly the top of the peak, we started climbing the slope, past many rich people's houses, thinking that we were on the right track. Finally we reached the real top of the peak. It was beside the tower which can be seen from the shopping area. I'm very sure not many people have climbed all the way to the top. We kinda lost our directions and accidentally ended up there. The view was totally different, but not worth the effort cos it was damn foggy.


The track we took




Foggyyyyyy damn it


The tower we're proud of reaching

Went to a very famous restaurant which is famous for its roast goose. Wow it wasn't cheap. Got a feeling that we were looked down upon when we first entered. Oh well. Each person paid SGD50 in the end. Thought it wasn't as expensive as what we thought to be. We tried to order cheaper stuff already.


Day 2 dinner

Continued our night market trip after that. It was as boring as ever. It was hard to believe that we had problems looking for toilets. Oh well...Better clear your bladders as much as possible there. The night market sells similar stuff except for the sex toys booth which were different from Singapore. They actually set up booths to sell those stuff. Incredible.

Yo ho ho~ 3 days in Kukup

Went for Kukup trip in Malaysia for the past 3 days from friday to sunday with the programmers. Lost quite some money in mahjong. Luckily is in ringgit and i dun really need the money. Why am i so lousy in mahjong damnit!


View from the balcony

This year's trip didn't seem as fun as last year. Probably been there and done the same thing so didn't exactly feel as fun. But i still like the mahjong and the settlers of catan games played over there. Was shy to interact with the freshies programmers though so didn't really get to know them much better. Oh well...i'm expiring as a programmer anyway since going China next feb. Doesn't really make much difference i guess?

Managed to catch the video of the famous mudskipper moving around on the sand over there. Noticed lots of special things about the mudskippers which i never realised last year when i saw them. Wow...



Karaoke session there wasn't that interesting also. Why! Seems like not many ppl like to sing song now. Sad...i miss ktv sessions... The progs played with fireworks too at night. I didn't join in though but took some videos of those. Too bad that the bigger and nicer fireworks were sold out.

Weather there was really humid and hot. Probably excreted a bucket of sweat and took in only half that amount of water into my body. Was really heaty for the three days. Luckily got the uber cooling coconut pudding and the cool cold beer. I loved the food there for both the restaurant's lunch and the BBQ dinner though they were exactly the same as last year's. Really tasty. Wonder how they actually prepared them.

Mafias!!

土曜日

今日はつまらないな~!来週の火曜日は最後の試験だ。プロジェクトは成績の50%なので、全然復習のやる気がない。。もう勉強に飽きちゃった。。何で大学に入った?
今日ひとつ書類に読んだ、世界温暖化について事。世界温暖化は事実なのか?大勢の科学者が世界温暖化を信じない。嘘って言ったんだ。この世界の人々がずっと前から嘘付いてるのか?小学校の時から聞いた、世界温暖化について悪いこと。急にこんな書類を読んだ。どっちが事実なのか?
大学まで勉強した物は全部事実なのか?多分たくさんの人々がお金のために事実を隠してる。本当のことは本当に分かりたかったら、自分で探さなければならない。僕は大学生だろう?何で大学生になった?
まあ。。もうすぐ休みだ。したい事がいっぱいある。水泳したい!サンタンもしたい!運動はもう長い時間がしてない。。。体が弱くなった。。。

Interesting Bleach episode 195!!!

Really wanna comment on this week's Bleach. It's getting very interesting again! Lots of actions in this episode. The useless duo Pesche and Dondochakka actually became really powerful and came up with a super Cero!! Damn cool!!

Dunno-called-what Cero

Then my favourite cute little Nel also 解放した!Became a super Arrancar that looks like a ram. Cute Nel became so cool and chio man. Just a bit anticlimax when she changed back to the little Nel when she was about to end off the fight with Noitora.


解放したネル


Nel returning to her kid form

Then there was the lame part during the battle by Pesche when they joked about Ishida getting his organs destroyed. In Japanese, 臓腑抜け(zoufu nuke) is about taking out the organs, which was the state Ishida was in when his organs got destroyed by Syazel. Then he took out the 臓 word, literally, and it became 腑抜け, which means coward. Damn funny this pun!




And finally for the end of this episode. Ichigo was practically dead after Nel returned to her kid form and couldn't fight Noitora anymore. He was tortured badly and was about to die when Kenpachi appeared. 超格好いい~ けんちゃん~ Actually i already knew it when i read the excerpts from the manga. Now is the time for the real exciting part for Bleach.


Kenchan~

Another day has passed

Took this butt crack picture just now in a shopping centre. Very blur pic cos took it very discretely. Heng never get caught if not tmr will get to see me in the news. Doesn't it look interesting? Nowadays ppl jus like wear their pants till very low and expose the butt cracks. Woot~!

Woo Hoo~~~

Anyway who will really think that i'm so bo liao go and take someone's butt crack. If i get caught i die. I not so stupid to do such a thing. It's the same photo which everyone should have seen before, taken from another part of the body. I like this kind of misleading pics and i hate to see ppl exposing their butt cracks. Damn gross.

Still got two more papers to go. Computer aided design and engineering design. Both exams only worth 50% cos of their projects. I'm very sick of studying already. Only had three papers till now and i'm already dying. Seriously i dunno why i'm going through all these kinds of suffering. Not that i enjoy engineering so much. I only like the design part. Hate the studying and memorising stupid things that will not be used in the future. Who actually agrees with me? Think this semester my GPA is going to drop again. What's up with the education system man... I dun think it's working out...

Birthday

Wei Hao's birthday today. Went New York New York at Lot One for dinner. Not too bad the food. But then the service is lousy cos the waiters and waitresses kept getting the wrong order. Was served some leaves as appetizer as an offer for using DBS/POSB card. Supposed to be salad but it really looked like leaves. Ate one whole spring chicken very filling. At least it's worth the price and the first half of the chicken was still tasty. Onion rings and some chicken drumlets and root beer floats which were not too bad too. Quite a nice place to eat once in a while if only the service was slightly better.

Photographer dun get to be inside photos


Some nice chicken drumlets

Rising prices

Had lunch at Long John just now. Bought combo 1 which is now called Golden Deal 1. 2 pieces or 3 pieces of chicken available. $4.50 and $5.50 respectively. Prices have increased... KFC student meal now costs $4.50 too. 20cents increase. Not like the quantity has increased too.



Ate the long-awaited Mega Mac at NTU for pre-dinner snack. Heard of it when i brought the Japanese students around Singapore last time. Really wanted to try it. The real thing isn't as big as what i thought. Only had two extra pieces of patties. Really thought it's some gigantic burger than can't be finished. Kinda disappointed...




今日、日本語でブログを書く


二時から十一時まで学校の図書館で試験のために勉強してた。試験は大変な。。でも今度の準備の時間が足りるようだ。試験の勉強は遅く始めたけど、今までまだ時間がある気がする。多分この学期の科目はそんな難しくなくて、試験の日も近くないから。勉強時間が十分と思う。
十二時ごろ家へ帰る途中でこの飲み物を買った。ミルクを買いたいけど、ニキビが出るかも知れないので、最後はこれは買った。毎日そんなに遅く帰るのは嫌いだ。

My first post in new account!

And it starts again. My new blog. Went to Marina Barrage two days ago and took pictures of the place. Managed to get quite a nice night shot of the Sg Flyer from the barrage. The view there was beautiful. But it wasn't windy that night so didn't exactly feel that great there. I love my new panasonic camera man. Time to shoot more photos!
