hk-galore and mickey moments...

its been 3 months but since i owe this post to someone, here goes... (picture heavy post)

left on a friday afternoon on a pal real deal flight booked by a friend. fortunately, we got the flight with free meals (chicken or pork?) and own monitors but since i'm too sleepy to watch anything, i just listened to lady gaga most of the flight...

we boarded the airport express when we got to hk and then rode the K3 bus (free ride) going to the hotel (Butterfly on Pratt - Tsim Sha Tsui booked through AsiaTravel)... loved the smell of the lobby (reminded me of elizabeth arden green tea)...

went to ocean park the following day. watched lovebirds...

pandas...

and dinosaurs?! hahaha...

not much into rides but the park tower is a must try to get a good view of the whole park...

strolled on avenue of stars...

to watch the symphony of lights (apologies for the blurry pics... note to self: learn to use a camera if you want a dslr... hahaha...)

the following day, went to ngong ping village...

to witness the richness...

of the culture of the people in hongkong...

then we rode the tram going to the peak...

where madame tussaud's museum is also located...

to mingle with the rich...

and the famous... 

hahaha...

of course, we wouldn't miss disneyland for the world...

so we rode the mickey disney express

and eavesdropped on mickey and minnie...

and watched more mickeys... hahaha...

and listened to more mickeys... (wink, wink...)

i wanted to look for more hidden mickeys but o well... 

all full

ate malou, thanks for filling up my empty stomach with chicken spinach lasagna,

oreo cheesecake

and bottomless iced tea at mom and tina's.

have a safe trip home! :)

(p.s. too hungry to sprint home to get my camera, grabbed pics from anton diaz's blog instead.)

christmasy!

he who has not christmas in his heart
will never find it under a tree ~ roy l. smith


christmas, children, is not a date
it is a state of mind ~mary ellen chase

feeling christmasy, allow me to bring out the inner child in me by posting a wishlist...


because a girl can never have too many of these...

and i'm falling in lust with those by christian louboutin's...

because the one i have is currently in self-destruct mode... (piece by piece)

because i unintentionally broke the one given to me (and believe me, if i could put back all the stones and pieces of glass together,i would have.)

and the last two...


just because...

o well... so much for that... now back to work... hahaha...
