Back from Hong Kong!
hey folks!! sorry for the sudden disappearance.. hee... I actually went to Hong Kong for a while, in fact, I just came back a few days ago! Been really busy since I was back on wed, thus I didn't really have time to update my blog. Flew back on Wednesday to go for my cousin's wedding dinner on Wednesday night! Boy, it was really tiring! But i'm not complaining coz I'm really happy for my cousin =)) So shuai ar!! hahaha
Hong Kong was okay... Shopping was so-so coz it wasn't the sale period yet.. I bought stuff but not as much as last year when I went during their shopping festival! hahaha... Yes yes, I'm a Hong Kong fanatic.. Going every year... haha.. but this time round, the highlight wasn't the shopping! It was DISNEYLAND!!!! hahahaha...
I heard a lot about the Hong Kong Disneyland before I went.. Things like, "aiyah, nothing much one lar...", "Ocean Park is better and cheaper", "the place is polluted by people-from-the-neighbouring-country (you get who i'm talking about)!" etc etc... Nonetheless, I decided to go with an open mind. Afterall, I've never been to Disneyland though I always long to go to the one at L.A *dreams*
So yea, off I went to Disneyland and I really did enjoy myself! True that there weren't as many rides as other Disneylands and the place was pretty smelly (half the time, I kept smelling this saliva smell, which my mom suspected was spit smell.. eewww) but overall, for a first-timer, I felt it was fine.. My favourite ride was "Buzz Lightyear's Astro Busters"!! You go around spinning and shooting targets with this gun that has an embedded laser pointer.. Fun! haha.. I did pretty well in that one! haha.. Also, I totally enjoyed all the shows/musicals - The Golden Mickeys, Mickey's Philhar Magic, Festival of the Lion King... The lighting, sound effects, acting, dance choreography were all very good!!!! For Mickey's Philhar Magic, we all had to put on 3D glasses coz the show had 3D effects. Not only that, when the screen showed a cherry pie, they actually sprayed a cherry pie scent so there was really a cherry pie smell going around! And when Donald Duck fell into a tub of water, we were all actually sprinkled with water!!! Hahaha... how cool is that?!?!
Finally, for the finale, we saw a beautiful display of fireworks over the famous Disney castle.. Very majestic, pretty and romantic!! Really loved it =)
Though it's said to be not as nice as the other Disneylands, I felt that it was good enough for a first-timer like me =P
