What Can You Do When It Rains 24 Hours In Hong Kong?

First, you must use the MTR!
(superb system, WZ cant stop admiring the map!)
We purchased an Octopus Card for HKD150
HKD50 for Deposit with HKD100 for Value To Use.
That's where we stay, 'Tong Lo Wan' = Causeway Bay.
Its on the side of Hong Kong Island, the higher end area.
This is Kowloon side, the downtown the busy bustle area,
lots of people to see and feel the vibrancy of this city
Its 10am in the morning and drizzling, we are looking for
DIM SUM BREAKFAST IN HONG KONG!!!!!
We know there's lots on Canton Road, (TST Station, Exit A1)
We got a flyer from a promoter, and head into Sweet Dynasty.
Something we can afford, hehe, we have HKD200 for DIM SUM today!
We recommend it for the delicacy art of preparing & serving it
in good and exquisite quality. its a PETITE, work of art.
We also recommend it cos it has PICTURES. (^_^)!!
i must confess i'm STUPID when it comes to FOOD WORDS.
yes, i can get confuse between DUCK & CHICKEN
(do not laugh! you will too if you dont pay attention to cooking!)
After a full meal for only HKD133, we wander around TST streets,
its a MAZE, seriously, arm with no map, standing at a junction,
you have a left or right, or straight, or back,
with no rules no time tables no obligations.
its the best kind of wandering and getting lost in a city.
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee freedom like this.
then we saw............this..... and we (I).....quickly....
COVER HERBIE'S EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they make chinese dessert with turtles???
omfgawd!
then i remember, Chinese would eat anything, lol!
We head back to Causeway Bay after we finally comb
Mongkok & TST malls....i was so adamant about edison's shop,
we were searching for it.....head back to the hostel to use the FREE INTERNET,
i re-look the address on CLOT.com,
cos i am DEAD SURE, we're staying on the same Patterson Street,
and i'm DEAD SURE, we're just a FEW BLOCKS AWAY...
and i'm DEAD RIGHT, it is indeed!!!!!
i practically run down (LIFT)
from our hostel to the street!!!!

Cos we're staying in No47, edc's shop is No53.
i start singing 'nanaanananananananana....we are...
THREE THREE THREE F*** blocks away!!!"
(on 2nd floor, please ask the GUARD to open the gates)
hahahahahaha happy until can swear and sing!
it was such a bliss and happy moment, nervous too!
what if edison is in his shop??? WHAT DO I DO???
hahahahahaha, DREAM ON ler.....
i wont be so lucky one.
anyway, we took photos outside, cos we're NOT ALLOWED
to take any photos inside, i dont think telling the sales girl that
"i came all the way from malaysia just to shop here"
would convince the serious face sales girl anyway,
so i might as well be naughty, hehehehehehe!!!
but the goods are sooooooo expensive, i mean,
if i had more cash for shopping in JUICE
i'd consider the parka/hoodies in CLOT's branding.
but no...it cost like HKD1,100 and above.
and i cant even wear it in stupid hot malaysia.
we cant find any Alienegra design or shimmering ones.
so damn sad. very very sad. most of the stuff looks more
suitable for males.... for WZ, not me....
so we left....EMPTY HANDED.
seee seee seee???

the carpet is CLOT designed!!!!
the GLITTERING WHITE is JUICE,
the bearbricks are everywhere in the shop,
and the items display are AWESOME!!!!
as if the items in edison's shop are not 'impactful' enough,
we took the MTR to Central, to IFC MALL.
and we were like HKD$$$$$$ x 10, IMPACT.
Christian Audigier, (directly across JUICY) is NOT OPEN yet.
and i'm like "HA!yeah yeah SLOWER than MALAYSIA!!!"
hahahaha. so evil. me.
its still raining, also dunno what picture to take.
so mah take RANDOMLY lor.it keeps raining sooooo long winding.
even HERBIE is SIEN DIAO.
We took the Star Ferry (apparently an attraction)
from Central to TST, so we can check out the bay ,
from the TST side and wait for the Symphony of Lights.
The ferry ride was WOBBLY, waves are STRONG.
HERBIE is SICK.
you can tell that he is WOBBLING
from left to right trying to balance,
but actually cannot balance....
FINALLY. its worth the ride though.
and we're WET anyway.its very very very pretty, sparkly, like champagne.
how can you not go 'awwwwww.....'???
(despite the TERRORIZING COLD WEATHER.)
WZ fav photo, i had to post here.
cos i dont think its that great, but he says its great,
you say leh????
Symphony of Lights
er.............. i think its kinda disappointing.
maybe cos of the weather???
8pm, the introduction of the buildings were cool BUT
the laser wasnt that long or impressive
the music ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC.
SOOOOOO..........something i dont enjoy
something i will laugh and roll my eyes at. hahaha
hahaha, Ariel, tell me what you think ya, when you're there!!!
maybe im just being bias, cos its so cold!!!!
then we actually took Star Ferry back to Central,
took the MTR to Causeway Bay back to hostel, TO SLEEP.
until about 11pm, then we head to Lan Kwai Fong (LKF)
its WEDNESDAY la....what do you expect???? PARTY???
but there were soooooooooooo many Kwai Lo's there.
when i look at 'em, i see my boss, Julian. everywhere!
its like he is haunting me for having a holiday now!!!
hahahahaha!!!! but yeah, there were still crowds,
we stayed well after 3am, partying....really!
its a fun life. it may be raining,
but there's always something to do in HK.
24 hours is still not enough.
