Hong Kong!! Day 1 :D

Hello!
Posting again! Haven't been posting in a long long time because i was damn busy with my school projects and i'm always tired nowadays, but tomorrow's the last day of my projects!! YAY. Finally, left with one more project to complete and submit. But i'm not really optimistic about the results for this semester. I know i always say that, but this time round i think it's really gonna happen because i really find it hard to complete so many projects, with limited knowledge about the subject. I really REALLY will start paying attention in class next semester and chiong study like i did in semester 1. I JUST HOPE MY GPA DOESN'T DROP TOO MUCH.

Well, enough about that, i'm gonna post about my trip to HONG KONG last week!! YAY. First time going to Hong Kong and second time taking the plane, i'm gonna keep these memories on my blog. Okay, so on the first day, we had to wake up fucking early, i didn't get enough sleep as i had to finish my projects first(parts of the project), woke up at 3am, on Friday, showered, packed and left at house at 4.30am. We had to check in at around 5am because our flight was at 7. Here's some pictures of the plane view! I got the window seat!! HEHEH.
Take off from Changi Airport!! BYE SINGAPORE

HEHEHE SO NICE *.*
The plane ride wasn't all that good, the chair was a bit uncomfortable to sleep in, i was freaking tired and i had a long day ahead because my aunt planned the trip, packed with places to visit, things to do from the moment we step off the plane. Thought i could watch some movies, but the tv was broken, i couldn't get any channels on my screen. If i remember correctly, the flight i took to Hong Kong was Cathay Pacific CX650. Here's a video link of the plane: VIDEO

At least the food was good! GREAT OMELETTE 
Well, at least the food they served was good! LOVED THE OMELETTE!! Too bad i couldn't eat too much since my aunt will be bringing us to eat after we got off the plane :(

After meal picture!
After the meal, i basically had nothing much to do since i can't watch the inflight entertainment and i had to save my phone battery for taking photos, i just listened to music and tried to sleep. HAHAH. Guess what, i didn't even sleep a wink on that flight. Guess that's what you get for flying economy. 

Right after we checked into the hotel, we went for lunch at this near by restaurant (cafe), whatever they call it, to have lunch! Seriously, the food there tastes amazing, with huge portions, i had the roasted duck rice with a iced milk tea! Tastes really different from what we have in SG, but of course, the quality of the food comes with a price, if i remember, it's not that cheap eating there. HAHAH
ROASTED DUCK RICE!

THE ICED MILK TEA!!
Next after lunch, we took the MTR located right beneath our hotel!! We stayed at the Prudential Hotel, which my aunt said is a 4 star hotel! And the interior of the room lives up to the hotel's reputation! The location is convenient too for those going to Hong Kong without a tour group.

Here's the tram up The Peak!

Beautiful Scenery!! 

We went to take a tram ride up to The Peak! AND IT WAS AMAZING! I've never taking a tram up a mountain before, so it was a first for me! And the view from the tram window was BEAUTIFUL as well, you can see the skyline of Hong Kong while going up the tram! But it was damn crowded! Had to queue and waited quite a while before we got on the tram and the people there are just plain rude, they push and shove just to get on the tram, how chaotic the scene was. I was lucky to even get a seat on the ride up.

After we finally got on top of The Peak, we went to the Madame Tussauds Hong Kong wax museum!! I was able to see real life sizes of actual famous people that i would never have gotten the chance to meet! Didn't take much photos because my phone was dying, and the only photo i have of the wax figures was Queen Elizabeth II's figure! LOOKS SO REAL RIGHT?! It's like you're seeing 
her in person!!

TOOK A PIC WITH THE QUEEN~
Lastly, we enjoyed the sunset a top The Peak!! Although the whole day was fucking long and tiring, i had fun with my cousins, and was glad that my aunt brought me along! The breeze was cooling, the view was great, and i didn't regret one single bit coming to Hong Kong during my project period HAHAHA.

Sunset atop The Peak!

Tried to take a panorama, but failed HAHA

NIGHT VIEW OF HONG KONG CITY!!
Well, that's all for now, i've still got a few more pictures to post about, but i'll do so separately in different posts. HAHAH. Now i've gotta finish my report for tomorrow's last submission! Bye~
