One thing worth mentioning is that Hong Kong's facilities are far much better than Malaysia's. Their cost of living is high, their LRT is bigger, their food is larger, drink is nicer, their police is more helpful, fast and they speak mandarin and cantonese! We went to this shop. It's called 轻松一下，or 'relax awhile' in English. I ordered 'phoenix feet' wan tan mee. (phoenix feet is referred to as chickens' feet)
When you're in Hong Kong you notice that there are so many types of Kim Gary or Wong Kok Char Chan Teng here.
Its like the cheapest shop u'll get into also isn't that cheap. So you might as well go for better ones...because you won't know whether cheap ones will con you or not. So how was their LRT? I would say: MALAYSIA'S LRT SUCKS BIG TIME! Their subway is so well planned. They have three levels of underneath subway.
First level for a specific direction, The second level for opposite direction. (this makes the platform not so crowded) and best of all, they have CCTVs installed EVERYWHERE.
And then, you could see the blue arrows, when the MRT moves...the wind comes in from outside... it cools down the passengers. (Malaysia's RapidKL? when their air cond broke down, we have to suffer)
Their location indicator above the door makes passenger clear about where they're heading. They even got led lighting and arrow to show us where we are.
Notice inside their MRT even have poles in the middle, it's very big and spacious. This is like comparing a Proton with a Mercedes.
They also have a changing LED advertisement panel which shows you latest news around Hong Kong and emergency ventilation window when the air cond break down.
Their entrance of MRT are well labelled with arrows. Imagine you're in STAR LRT(Rapid KL), there's AWAS everywhere, and the entrance are labelled with footprints but not arrows. So many people waiting to go Tung Yung and Disneyland. We decided to go for Tung Yung/Chung first for Dai Yu Shan(the big buddha hill) This is the Disneyland's MRT.
Now we know why our friend Cui Jing like Sunny Bay so much. Their location indicator in MRT. So bad la, they know we're coming but they have their cable cars maintenance.
There's a shopping center right outside the Tung Chung station,
and there's this synchronized water fountain. Caught this lovely little girl and boy.
Seems adorable right? Then there's this apartment all around, there are MANY MANY high rise building around Hong Kong! haha cannot go through here...service not available...
Therefore.... we go for a bus ride ! a 5 seater/row bus. view in the bus their road maintenance very 'pro' one... even got traffic lights ....
not like Malaysia...
pakai orang with red clothes/handkerchief wave at you. Their bus all got seat belts, even their drivers wear seat belts...
Malaysia? F1 bus driver around Cyberjaya.
Don't believe? go try in Cyberjaya...find T429 bus to hop on. Finally we reach this huge hill with huge buddha image!
The H1N1 influenza virus has infected many people in HK..and Macau has 1 case recently.
We're so kia si and the trip almost cancelled because of this. But luckly we didn't cancel it...
Okay, let me introduce my friend who went to HK and Macau with me.... The first one is Yi Tong has her own blog ... you can check it out...
She's a FCM student... meaning Creative Multimedia (art) student. do hire her if anyone looking for a freelancer designer... she's good in designing. The second one is Joyce... she's Yi Tong's friend... She's working as Sales & Marketing but she graduated from Accounting major.
This time round, I didn't miss my flight... my first time travel by air and I chose AirAsia..."kami berasa bangga terbang bersama mu" lol.. and it's an International Flight!
I FFK twice ... both are going to Penang... fate la...
We brought two bags, one is the luggage the other one is backpack... my back pack is the orange one, Yi Tong's is black in color. I brought clothes, camera and most importantly the 'mask'.
This is what i got from the cabin.. the panel above our head.. As you can see there are three air conditioner, light switches and the request flight attendant assistance button.
The view in cabin... sorry ah Mr. Passenger, make you 'terperanjat'(shocked) lol..
me and Joyce dslr-cam whoring in cabin... -.=||| who uses big camera to camwhore anyway?
After that, some flight attendant came to tell us not to take any photos in the cabin... then we stop taking photos in the cabin...instead we took some photos from the window.
my 1901 hot dog... damn expensive if order in cabin... lol
I like the airplane when they're about to take off... but you'll have to sit upright all the time and seat belts needed to be worn all the time when the seat belt light is on.
If you want to take this type of pictures, the only time you can take is when you're on an aeroplane.
Since we took the flight at 3:35pm, we get to see afternoon sun and dawn. The Air Asia seat... to be honest, it's not that comfortable, because you only have 90 degrees posture and 110 degrees posture... lol
"Now Everyone cannot sleep"...
but there's many empty space there... so you can just run around and sit another place... lie down alone on 3 seats all together... Dawn sun Clouds in the sky are spectacular! we reach 5 minutes earlier, 7 something in Macau. Then we took ferry to Hong Kong. It costs us 175 MOP/HKD. The Customs in Macau... The view in jetty ... Macau. Since we cannot bring any fluid including plain water into the plane... we need to drink some water... so i ordered Coca-Cola and they ordered Ribena and share.
Their coke is tasteless... lol The ferry company is called "First Ferry" their ferry is quite modern, they have LCD TVs ...
they even have cameras to show u what's in front of the ferry. Vomit Bag. When we reach Hong Kong's Jetty. There's a lot of sterilizers... Their Guardian is called Mannings. Then we reach Mong Kok(where we stay) from Tsim Tsa Tsui(jetty area)... The Taxi in Hong Kong. Mc Donald shop in Tsim Tsa Tsui ... it's underground. Their Quarter Pounder ...and guess what?
Not only they have pork Sausage Mc Muffin, they also have potato wedges. The condoms... we always said 003... i guess this is where it came from. Their Mc Donald's advertisment got Yong Joey, and Eason Chan. Their streets have directions for you to look out for... Look Right means the car is coming from the right... look right before you cross the road.
Just came back from the tiring but fun HK and Macau Trip... HK has so many chinese! They have the best night scenery I would say... Macau has so pretty casinos! and their Herbal Tea is so expensive! RM18! wtf. There's a lot more to tell when I come back... so stay tuned.
You know what does it means when you say your 'porket' is full of sunshine? Here... you have too much money to spend and you don't know where to keep it... it ends up filling your wallet and you can't fit in your pocket. (ahah, I knew you guys will drool here... go earn it yourself! don't ask from me :P) The second time i've been messing around with these money. The first time is when I withdrawed 2.5k cash just to buy my camera :D. This one is more than the first time...
It may look a lot...but it's not fun keeping so much money in your pocket. You'll get robbed! XD
The reason I still got these money with me now because I couldn't change to the currency I wanted...thus leaving me no choice but to sit and wait until i get to pass by a money changer.
Last but not least...God damn it...where's my passport?! -.-+
I went to interview yesterday... Guess what? The interview quite high standard... My mom's friend told me to treat it like you're chatting with the interviewer. Lol...
It's a miracle i still have these questions in my mind.
They gave me one questionairre to do before interviewing me to test my level... -.-+ Ok... Let me see what did the interviewer asked me? I think those questions almost killed me.... I went for interview not fully prepared.

The first thing to try when you arrived at your hometown definitely is your mom's cooking.Of course first of all you cannot choose what to eat... you'll have to eat all. Mushroom and the I-don't-like-so-much "Capsicum" See the yellow, red and green -.-+ it taste spicy, but I like the mushroom. Pumpkin and ikan billis (Anchovies) This taste sweet and crunchy for the anchovies part. Not-so-much-of-my-favourite vege. but if my mom adds shrimp in it.. then its my-super-favourite vege. This is dried sambal shrimp. Super nice wey~ have to try... I super like this! can eat without other additional dishes... rice + shrimp = whole rice in red.
Mom knows how to cook these spicy stuffs very well.. Due to what? Well, my father and grandma cannot eat without any chilis or spices, so we definitely need a dish with spices, not rendang, then curry; not curry then fish in chili or vegetables with chili. Although not big fish big meat.(大鱼大肉）I'm still happy I have food to eat... haha..
