All around Hong Kong we tour ;
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... Okay, yeah. Im sure most of you guys already knew how The Singapore National Cadet Corps Command Band Swiss Winds from Swiss Cottage Secondary School fared in the 2010 Winter Band Festival which took place at Hong Kong Disneyland right? HAHAHA, YEAH! :D Yes, we got GOLD with the score of 89 or 89.4. Yea, we're the top Singapore band in the Senior Category, hahahas! :D Try beating THAT! (Y) We may seem arrogant to most of you, but well, we're really proud and excited over it. You should have seen our reactions when they announced the result, 'cos most schools in front of us got Silver/Bronze, so yeah, phew. Hahas :D Hopefully we can do better in SYF 2011! Rock on! (Y) Okay, so basically, Hong Kong is somewhat like Singapore. Except that its nicer, whheeee!~ Hmms, let's see:
But then of course they've got some serious environmental issues. Smokers are practically everywhere, it was like damn hazy, etc, gosh. Yeah, that's not very clear and helpful I know, LOL, its just the appetizer. So, here goes! ( *Im just gonna post the highlights of the day and maybe some pictures from facebook) Day 1 Singapore Airlines' A380 really live up to its name, hahas! :D The take off and landing was smooth, the food was awesome, and the air stewardess were really friendly and helpful! (Y) Arrived at HongKong in the early afternoon. Took a tram up to the Victoria Peak! :D The scenery's really beautiful, but it would be nicer if it was during night time, and when it wasn't so hazy.  A view not from the top of The Peak, but yeah, that's not the point, 'cos this is to show you the quality of air in Hong Kong :/ Ohh, they've got a Madam Tussauds museum there too! :D  Whhheeeee!~  Waahhhh- tahhhhh! >:O Went for dinner afterwards at a restaurant, and it was a fabulously healthy meal 'cos there was a variety of vegetables there! O.O 7 of the 8 course meal was vegetables :/ But then surprisingly, some of the veggies were cooked in a yummy way! LOL.  Told you the veggies were nice (due to an additional HongKong taste :S) that we managed to complete most of it! :D Did I mention their soup? :D It was 100x nicer than the vegetables! (Y) (This is without sarcasm, FYI). Went too the Avenue of Stars to watch the Symphony of Lights afterwards.  To quote Eunice Ng "Apparently, it was nothing amazing -.-;;". Yeah. Then, we proceeded to check into the 5 star L'Hotel Nina at New Territories. The hotel was really posh, and yeah, it really deserve the 5 star! (Y) Well, I couldn't find any nice photos on facebook, but you could google it, 'cos it really good! :D Day 2 Woke up shivering 'cos someone turned the air con to 15 Degrees Celsius, brrrrrrr. Fall in, etc, and set off to Ocean Park! (Y) Its definitely a must go place in Hong Kong! :D Sat on rides which were really... O.O As the saying goes, "Pictures say a thousand words". Hence, I shall let the pictures do the talking!:D  Reliving childhood moments on the Merry-go-round! Hey, this is like damn cool, 'cos the seats are fishes! (Y) Then, we took the cable car to the upper part of Ocean Park for the more exciting rides! :D As YewRen was saying, if the Cable Car was moving at the speed of a roller coaster, wah, confirm die ahh, LOL!  View of the lower region of the Ocean Park from the Cable Car :)  The three saxophonists of PC, hahas! :D First stop, to The Flash, which we didn't take any photos, but was superbly fun! :D It's like the Inverter in Escape Theme Park, and yeah its my first time seating on such scary rides! O.O I think I screamed too much till I went bonkus, 'cos when I looked down when we're at the top, I felt like I was at the top of the world, and that the view below me was, beautiful. Seriously. Weird or what? :O Okay, then we went to sit on the Mine Train, which was a shorter version of a real roller coaster.  It was fast, oh gosh!  YAY! :D (Y) After we took it for the second time, I started feeling not really well:/ Next, we were supposed to go for The Abyss (go and google it) but we didn't, as we spent too much time in the Seal Lagoon(?) with cute (but enormous) seals! And they bite-.-;; So, I guess this make them not as cute? o.0 We spent a fair bit of time there taking photos and feeding the seals, hahas!:D And judging from their actions, they really love fish(s)! (Y) Who doesn't? :D  Seal! (Y)  Seal :"I want my fish!"  Spot the flying fish! :P Then after that, had Mac for lunch, gosh, their McSpicy was McCrispy, LOL. And it was really expensive:/ No comments on the taste 'cos Mac taste the same everywhere I guess, LOL! Then played some lame arcade games, and Flying Swings! (Y) That is what I call fun! :D Whheeeee!~ After that band exchange with Hong Kong Women's Club College Band (?) . Hahas, made some friends, and they are really a bunch of awesome and hyper people! :D Like me, oops! :P Dinner afterwards, return to hotel, yadahyadahyadah. Think I'll end of here for now, hahas! Stay tuned! :D More photos on facebook! Photo credits : Eunice Ng, Liu Siting, Tan Yingda from Facebook.  At the Peak! (Y) To be continued... Fly to the top of the world. |
