31st Dec 2005 - 5th Jan 2006 (Part 2)

Some on-the-flight photos... heheh. Introducing, our little friend Pookie..

Lonesome bear... Fastened up and ready to fly!

1st Jan, 1030am. We are really in Hong Kong. I couldn't believe it.. after so long, we really made it there, for a holiday and a good break just on our own, the 2 of us. It was something we wanted for a long time since our trip to Bangkok long ago. But the weird thing was, being in HK, it really didn't feel like we were in a foreign place, except that the people spoke in a different language and the food was different.

And so begins our hongkong adventure.... of food, walking, shopping, seeing, taking weird photos (as you will see) and even a rescue mission..

The MTR was our very useful form of transportation..

<------- Pookie in MongKok (where our hostel is located). Simply love the red mosaic tiles heheh

This is something even everyone in Singapore should learn... give way to people who are alighting from the train! Don't rush in like you are in a hurry to be reincarnated -->

Oh yeah, gotta introduce the very nice and simple hostel we picked. The auntie and uncle were really nice (showed us a photo of their daughter and son-in-law) through whom we corresponded to book the hostel and when we were trying to find our way there. Never got to meet the nice looking couple though but the old couple were nice to us all the way =).

I really recommend this hostel. Its about 50SGD per night for a twin room (we ended up getting a room for 3 people coz the twin rooms were occupied), at no higher cost.

<----- This is the main door to the rooms of the hostel (just some of the rooms). Unit 1017 and our room number 6 right the end.

The open area leading to the main door. Other residences, hostels, a dance studio and even a jamming studio! (could hear people jamming above from our room) --->

<--- Our nice cosy room, small but clean. What's more, the double decker bed helped act as our clothes rack haha.. and the extra blanket and pillow were pretty useful as well =)

The little TV set from which we watched Dong Feng from.. and a particular commercial that we will forever remember...

The 'nice' view from our window. Not some world class view but it gives you a feel of the way they live. I found it quite cool ;). I mean, hey, no top notch hotel can give you some an experience~! ----->

<----- The curtain pole (shows you how make shift it is) fell once and SH had to fix it. But still, I can't emphasize how nice, simple and clean this hostel truly is.

And yes, back to our adventures... this time at the avenue of stars

Being suaku, we decided to go there to have some fun, and here you go, some very exciting pictures!

<--- Hungry or simply too eager to karaoke? heeheehee

Somebody just had to do this shot... to commemorate his award winning ad hahaha =P. --->

<--- So where are the stars? Here's one we are all familiar with.. But here's the story..

As we were walking along, we saw this star covered by some plastic bags as the owners of the bags were busy taking photos of themselves against the very nice backdrop of the skyscrapers. We began to wonder who this poor star was, to have to be covered by loads of plastic bags.... I think they noticed we were looking, and as they lifted up the bags, we got the surprise of a lifetime. On it read.... Bruce Lee. =_= (you can simply guess our reactions.... hahah)

And lastly, this photo.. doesn't it remind you of the Beatles album cover? For a while.. I thought it was supposed to be some wreath in memory of some star... until i saw the "Merry Christmas"!

Part 3 to come very very soon!
