Hiya i'm back from the Genting Trip. It was organised by my division and was free. I didn't want to go but I have to because I need to please the boss.

So before I headed for the trip, I actually went to K-Box with Shari! haha it is like the first time that the 2 of us have went to ktv alone. Sang until it was 1 am and I overslept at Shari's house after that. I woke up late and as i did not want to pay the penalty for not going, I rushed over to my house, pack a few t-shirts and proceeded to Rochor to meet up with the rest of them.

It was only when I met up with them then I realised I didn't bring my jacket.

Nothing worth mentioning in Genting, the usual stuff of walking around aimlessly. I lost RM$125 though at the casino. Oh I was cold throughout the stay.

Didn't even bring my camera because of the rush. that's kinda about it.

Yeah I'm finally back from Hongkong. I shall blog something about the trip before I got another major event coming up.

whose luggage is bigger?

Hongkong was one hell of hot, worse than Sillypore. Even walking in the night will let me perspire like I played a soccer match. I sworn that I will not go to a country during Summer where the weather is worse than Sillypore, though the Chinese food is damn good there.

The first day when we arrived in Hongkong, we checked into Metropark Hotel which is in Mongkok area, We were given the Executive floor because the hotel was fully booked. Sherry and I could not believe our luck as we got something than we paid for. But alas, when we got into the room, the size of the room was disappointing. I wanna just say the hotel is exactly the size of a Hotel 81 room.

The good thing is I bought along my laptop, and I had got free internet access from the room and able to use the net to call out to my family free. There was a plus point for the hotel.

Day 1
Ladies Market and others, in Mongkok.

We went sight-seeing at the Ladies Market and the streets in Mongkong. We were damn tired and fell asleep at 6 pm in the hotel and only woke up at 2 am. There we went out for dinner. The Chinese food is damn nice la!

Day 2
Tsim Sha Tsui & Central

It was when we started out on the real walk around - the streets were filled with people. We went to the Peninsular for shopping of branded goods and then went to Avenue of Stars. We then took the Star Ferry and headed to Victoria Peak. Had a good dinner with raw oysters at the peak as it was Sherry's birthday!

I perspired a lot at the Victoria Peak!

Day 3
Shenzhen & Temple St

We headed to Shenzhen and to my disappointment, there isn't much fake goods for me. The weather was really hot and we were contemplating of going back to HK when we spotted a massage parlour. We had a very relaxing 3 hrs of massage before going back to HK. After reaching back in HK, we headed to temple street, though it was already near to closing.

Day 4
Central & TST

Somewhere in the 800m escalator

We slept in late and headed to Central and took the Mid-level escalator, which is 800m long. We did not finish the whole journey though, cause there was nothing much to see after that. We walked around Central and then watched the Symphony of Lights, which is damn disappointing. Wat's the big wooha abt buildings with lights? We headed back to Mongkok for bargaining shopping (really enjoyed the bargaining) and then to Lan Kwai Fong to club. The clubbing scene is real nice!

Day 5
TST
Last day in HK, and that was the pocket-burning period to buy Sherry a Agnes B bag and necklace. We bought some foodstuffs and back to Home Sweet Home!

Ok i'm now on my way back from LA to San Francisco. And I'm now inside Jimmy's car using his laptop and doing blogging. Neat.

LA wasn't that fun coz it's more of shopping. The only thing we really did was the universal studios and the Hollywood boulvard. 2nd day was spent at Berverly Hills.

I dun feel like coming back to S'pore.

hi all... now on e way to LA blogging using a hp. i just tour san francisco and las vegas. e weather is damn cool here. i be back on next friday early morning. see ya then.

Hi Friends!

I'm going off to America~ San Francisco, Las Vengas and LA in a day's time!

The trip to Phuket wasn't so smooth after all, because dear shari and me had to rush our work in order to make it for the trip. And Shari was down with food poisoning later, so we missed out a lot of activities. But all in all, it was relaxing and a good trip.

First day was spent sleeping in the hotel because it was raining and we were both tired due to lack of sleep and the early flight.

They even folded the toilet paper into nice pattern!

The 2nd day we decided to do some shopping and sight-seeing as Shari was not feeling well.

The car we rented to go to Patong beach and town.

Not much of shopping there, they were selling the same things. Notti Shari.

We lost our way when going back from town, and ended up in this nice place where they got the swings hanging from the trees on the beach.

The 3rd day wasn't filled with activity. Basically some sight-seeing at Patong. The 4th day we head to the beach!

You needa rent the chair at 50 baht each.

I rented a bike to get around in Phuket. Cheap and nice.

Wooah We hit a road block and stopped.

We were fined for not wearing helmets.

Me with the fine.
