Wah recently the internet not working, now finally it's back to normal.
School holidays going to end already, only 4 more days to school! Today i still must go back to school to help in sec 1 orientation.
This holiday was quite fun, also because i went to Hong Kong with my family and some friends. I was at Hong Kong from the 16 to 22 of December. It was my first time there and Hong Kong's very different from Singapore.
Now let me share some of my experiences there...
On the first day i reached Hong Kong, i had to adjust to the temperature change. The temperature was like from 12 to 19 degrees. Our hotel was Royal Plaza Hotel which is located in Kowloon. Over there, we went a lot of shopping at the road side shops... they call it flower market. It's very crowded there and if you don't know how to speak cantonese, you're dead. But good thing we got this tour guide guy who showed us around everyday. I bought some soccer stuff from the market ( they're very cheap there). I like the streets of Hong Kong. The
re are so many neon banners hanging around and they make the place look so bright at night. And there are also so many people! At night we went to visit the avenue of stars (i think that's what it's called). That's the place where everyone goes to see the beautiful night lights of the Hong Kong skyline. By the way, it's quite cold at night if the wind is very strong. That night i remember watching Arsenal vs Portsmouth in the hotel room. And they drew 2-2...On the second day, i went to the peak where most people go to see the skyline. On top, there's a huge shopping mall and a wax museum in it. The wax museum is quite nice and funny too. I got to take pictures with people like Saddam Husien, George Bush, Lee Kuan Yew and David Beckem! That was quite a fun place.
At night we went for a short cruise where we had a meal on board the ship.
The next morning, we had breakfast at some Macdonalds and i met my teacher Lee Siew Lee there! Of course I wa
s quite surprised!! That day we all went to Ocean Park to play and of course it was fun. Ocean Park is quite big too, bigger than Hong Kong Disneyland. The next day we took a ferry from Hong Kong to Macau early in the morning at 8am. Macau is a very nice place. I don't know why but i like it... not because i
met a ventilation tube man!! (and a bird man too... haha). We went up the Macau tower in the afternoon. I heard it's the tallest tower in Asia with 70 stories or more and it is the highest bungee jumping buildi
ng in the world. We had tea buffet up the tower and the meal was wonderful. All the tables and chairs were on a rotating platform so we moved as we ate. And the walls were made of glass, so we could look out of the window and look down all the way below us. Th
ere's no MRT in Macau so we had to walk most of the time, unlike in Hong Kong where we took the
ir MTR all the time. The next day, we went to Disneyland! Although it's much smaller than the one in US and many people complain about it, i still had a lot of fun!! When you go to Disneyland, you feel like a child again. It's my first time
in Disneyland so of course i enjoyed myself. I liked the shows, the parade and the fireworks at night. The rides were quite fun too and the most thrilling ride was space mountain.... although it was mild, it was fun. Everything was 
fun la! That night, we celebrated my friend's 14th birthday in the hotel room. The next day was all shopping and we returned to Singapore at 1am the following morning. What a fun trip!And there's 1 thing i'll always remember about Hong Kong..... Mango!!! haha....
When i returned to Singapore, i still remember i went to watch my cousin perform at her church. It was some Christmas concert.
Soon it was Christmas! Yay! I went to church and had the usual Christmas party at my house.
Then a few days later on friday, i went to celebrate my cousin's 8th birthday at his house. What a busy holiday! I also went to catch the movie The Curse Of The Golden Flower. It was a good show. I don't mind watching again... quite funny too!
Tomorrow, some of my friends will be at my house celebrating the New year. 2007's coming soon!! And so is school......
