Discover Hong Kong ||

First stop, Wong Tai Sin Temple....
From the airport, We took a bus to Wong Tai Sin Temple....
This is the first time mummy takes a bus in Hong Kong.
To think of it, it was super convenient,
as there were large metal shelves on the bus
for our baggage and stroller.....
The bus ride was reasonably comfortable,
I fell asleep first...
then mummy follow suit....
We must be dead tired from waking up
so early in the morning to catch our flight.....
coz mummy only woke up
1 stop before Wong Tai Sin bus stop and panicked!!
She woke up and asked the lady on the next seat
if this was Wong Tai Sin...
The lady just clamly replied, "nope, next stop....."
Then mummy struggled with the stroller, baggage and me....
It was super unglam!!

The temple was majestic....
Lots of STAIRS....
Thankfully, there were slopes as well for my Capella AWD PRAM....
Mummy breezed through the temple using those slopes.....
There were many people around....
But not all people who came, gave their offerings....
A tour guide was firing away in japanese....
to curious looking tourist.....
who were only interested to take pictures with their "kawaii + peace" sign!!
Mummy quickly gave her offerings and left....

We decided to take the MTR (train system in HKG)....
When mummy pushed my pram to the station entrance,
She noticed that there were flights of itimidating stairs waiting for her!!
She panickly searched for an escalator or an elevator....
NOPE, none was sighted!!
So mummy asked this young chap nearby if
there is an escalator or elevator to the MTR.....
only to be met by a dissappointing "NO"
But he offered to help mummy carry the pram down....
mummy was so grateful!!

We took the MTR to Prince Edward Stn, the start of Ladies Street....
When we got off from the train station,
we realised that we were stucked with the SAME PROBLEM....
just a flight of stairs staring blankly at us again!!
No escalator or elevator that we took so much for granted in Spore!!
Exasperated, mummy asked the station staff...
& he just retorted..."No....you've to climb the stairs..." & walk away...
Poor mummy was seething....

So mummy came out with a brilliant idea, which was...
to leave the pram at the concierge in Kowloon Hotel &
venture the city with me on a backpack carrier...

We went to Thong-Chiu for a meal.....
Mummy ordered pig liver porridge and bean curd....
The porridge was super yummy.....
I ate non stop....
then mummy asked me if her cooking was really that bad....
..."no comments mum...."
That will be the safest answer!!
Mummy said the bean curd was really smooth...
and she missed the Hong Kong food like CRAZY!!

Oh, up next was mummy's favourite hobby,
SHOPPING....
& we homed in on Ladies' Market....
Mummy walked UP and Down the streets and ended up with nothing!!
Mummy Thoughts:
Sigh.... Priorities in life has changed...
A baby changes everything...
Do you need that fancy FAKE miu miu handbag?!?
Do you need that latest FAKE Gucci shades?!?
Do you still need those flimsy sexy trendy clothes?!?
The answer was a straight NO!!
It's all baby friendly.....
Comfortable clothes, trusty backpack with all baby essentials......
nah, lose that shade... everybody will be looking at your cute baby.....

Mummy was really tired carrying me.....
Hey mum, I am only 8.3kg....
so fast tired liao arr....?
So no choice lor, got to go back to the hotel
to rest our aching feets at the lobby....

We waited and waited at the lobby,
Mummy just sat down, and did the most unglam thing on earth!!
Wriggled her toes in the lobby of a 5 star hotel!!
Wahahahaha... Couldn't help it.... her feet were really sored....
One by one, we saw SQ crew checking out
and mummy saw her batch mate, Cammy....
They chatted & caught up with their lost time...
Then Cammy jie jie has to catch the bus to the airport to San Francisco.....

By this time, mummy felt that she was ready to go explore again....
& with me in the carrier, we go shopping nearby....
Nothing much to shop... in fact we ended up in mummy's favourite dessert store,
Hoi Lau San....
Mummy went BERZERK, and ordered almost everything on the menu!!
Carrot cake, Tang Yuan with peanut, jelly mango drink were all SUPERB!!
HKG preserves many fond memories
of mummy and daddy courting days.... especially this desert store!!
*nudge daddy* Tell me leh... What happened?!?

After so much sinfully sweet desert,
we strolled back to the hotel to wait for daddy...
Daddy arrived in style,
on the crew bus with the rest of the very pretty stewardess....
I miss you so much daddy!!
Mummy has been walking around this busy streets all day!!

We went up to daddy's room, left our baggage and off we go again....
DuhZ... daddy ain't we supposed to be sleeping after a hard day work?!?
No choice loh... mummy got dessert craving, we all got to follow loh!!
And off we went to Hoi Lau San again!!

So after the dessert craving has been curbed,
and we are all ready to go back to the hotel to rest after such a busy day!!
Mummy had to soak her aching feet in warm water to ease the pain....
For the first time in a million years,
mummy refused to shop anymore tomorrow!!
