My Trip to Hong Kong! (for the 9th time) Part II

good evening! Okay, so I can't remember which day this was so this is like the part2 of my trip.

It was early in the morning (it was actually 1pm), me, my mom, my brother & his friend were searching for a place to eat. Since we never tried D'elifrance before, we might as well try it. There's also one cafe located in Penang's Queensbay Mall.

So yeah, me and my mum ordered a salmon croissant, my brother and his friend ordered linguine carbonara. The food was alright. We still prefer Penang food anyways haha! 
After that, we headed to Stanley Bay, which is kind of like the Straits Quay in Hong Kong. I've been to Stanley Bay last year and it was gorgeous. The scenery was beautiful.

And off we go! We need to take a bus to Stanley Bay though...

The Bank of China Tower













omg i love this picture i took cuz it looks like downtown New York!

Oh yeah, this was the bus I was talking about. We went there by a double-decker and bc a lot of people decided to sit downstairs, we went upstairs and we sat on the first row. And let me tell you it feels like a freaking rollercoaster !! The driver was driving so fast man but it was awesome anyways :)

Stanley Bay is located up on the hill and this is what the area over there looks like









THIS APARTMENT HAS A HOLE IN IT OMG










love this pic as well :)


And yeah, the end to a 85% pictures post haha :) Part III will be up as soon as I possibly can, as I'm going to KL for a couple of days. 

Oh right, 2015 coming soon!! Time flies aye? :) Even though I did not blog that much, I still thank you guys for taking your time out to read my lame blog zzzz haha. Blogging is not really my thing. I'm the kind of person who fangirls a lot, draws, and went on tumblr a little bit too much :P But who knows, right? Maybe in the future, I'd be a famous blogger? Hahaha. I wrote a long paragraph about 2015 on tumblr. Click here to read. My new year's advice to you guys is 
  • Respect other people; they could have gone through the toughest challenges of their lives. 
  • Never ever, ever, ever give up.
  • It's okay to cry sometimes, crying means that you're venting out your feelings.
  • Everything is going to be okay in the end, i promise you.
  • You're unique, amazing & special.
  • You are loved.
  • Let no one tell you who you should be.
  • Try not to overthink. Focus on what you're doing
Lastly, I hope you guys have a great 2015 ahead! Here's to a better year.




Cheers,

Ashley.

My Trip to Hong Kong! (for the 9th time) Part I

Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't been blogging lately, but here are the reasons :
  • I've been on Tumblr almost every day teehee. In case you're wondering, here's my tumblr
  • Idk how to fucking create a new post, I only figured it out today -.-

Anywaysssss..... I went to Hong Kong (AGAIN) this year. You guys won't believe this, but this was my 9th/10th time in Hong Kong! Zzzzz.. but I never get tired of it haha because, as you know, Hong Kong sells a lot of rare branded stuff. But, obviously, it's expensive... 


Ok, let's get started.



So, it was a fine Monday (wow first time) , until I need to wake up at 3 in the god damned morning!!! During the holidays, I usually sleep at 2am, but bc I need to catch a flight the next morning, I slept at 1am hahahah. So that means I can only get 2 hours of sleep. Nice. But I can't sleep right away, I usually think about scenarios that will never happen before I go to bed heheh.. 

My mom woke me up at 3.30 in the morning & I wasn't that tired cuz I'm so excited to finally go somewhere after this shitty school year.

So we arrived at the airport at like 5am? Then we went to check-in & stuff.. I was planning to eat McCafe for breakfast but my mom was worried that we were late so we went in to the bags & body checking (sorry idk what it's called) . And then my mom just realized that we were still quite early *sigh*, thank God there's Starbucks inside therefore we ate Starbucks instead.

After that, it's finally boarding time!! Oh btw, I prayed very hard that this plane won't crash/gone missing like the other 2 planes because I was sitting on a MAS plane lol. Thank God it didn't hehe.. Ok, so we need to go to KLIA to transit to Hong Kong. Here are some pictures I took on the plane 


yeah actually there was a couple of pictures I took but it wasn't nice. This was about 7am in KL.

But I was very unsatisfied when I was on the plane to Hong Kong, you know why? Because the freaking TV won't work and I can't watch ANYTHING. I only get to watch one episode of Family Guy and that's all zzz. I ate Nasi Lemak on the plane and it was okay. My mom ate omelette and the omelette was really good. Damn, I regretted it. *Sigh* Bc of the stupid TV, I listen to some music instead.

Aaaaand we finally arrived at Hong Kong!!! Yayyyyy. It was 11.35am when we reached Hong Kong. Then, we need to ride a taxi to our hotel. We were expecting the weather to be cold, but it wasn't. The weather was 18 degrees celsius and it was warmer than the temperature inside airport lol

On our way to the hotel, I took some okay pictures










Arrived at our hotel in Wan Chai [灣仔]

the view of our hotel!!1!!1



#ootd


After we unpacked our stuff, my mom & my brother took a nap. Can naps be 3 hours long? If yes, then they took a nap! I didn't bc I was so excited!! I was prancing around the hotel, searching for good places to eat nearby (via Foursquare), malls... they finally woke up at 4 o'clock. Later, we took the MTR to go to this mall called Harbour City

(Harbour City, picture from Google)

To me, Harbour City was like the combination of Queensbay Mall & Pavillion. The mall was BIG. And my brother suggested us to go there as he said it sells 'cheap' branded stuff. It was not cheap. It's just like the average price of every Hong Kong shopping malls. I was planning to buy a pair of Adidas & Nikes, instead, I bought a coat LOL. I bought this coat from Roxy and it was so cute & comfy! I loved it!! <3 I'm sorry, but I can't take a picture of it because it's still in the washing machine :P


Aaaaand that is all what I did on the first day in Hong Kong. Stay tune for the day when I went to this amazing place which is almost like Straits Quay, but in Hong Kong. And the bus which felt like a rollercoaster?! Haha I sound like those people who begs for other people to watch their next episode LMAO. Okay bye for now!!
