我的旅游生活!

Phuket with Chloe * Day 1

On last March, we went for a family trip to Phuket, Thailand for 4 Days and 3 Nights. It’s been a wonderful sea-sand and SUN experience, recommended for those who enjoy beaches, but there are are so many places ad activities  to visit in this Island.

DAY 1

We reached LCCT about 1030am and our flight was at 1240pm. Flight from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket only took 1 hour and 25 minutes. Please be reminded that Thailand timezone is slower than Malaysia 1 hour.

Once landed in the airport,  we booking a taxi from Phuket airport to Patong Resort. It took about 45 minutes from airport to the hotel. We signed a Safari Tour (3000 baht, Kid FOC)and Full Day James Bond Island Tour (3600 baht, kid FOC) while booking a taxi.

We stayed in Patong Resort, it just a 5 minutes walk to the white sandy beach, local seafood restaurants and steps away from Junceylon shopping center.

Eventually we planned to visit Phuket Aquarium, but the hotel officer told us the Aquarium closed at 5pm ( we checked in 330pm). It took about 1 hour from Patong town t the Phuket Aquarium , so we have to cancel our plan and heading back to the hotel room.

MY girl got upset and I brought her to the swimming pool. She enjoyed herself in the pool. Took a nap then we went for a walk nearby. The weather in Phuket is really ‘sizzling’ Hot. We had dinner in one of the Thai Seafood restaurant, Hubby loves the Tom Yam Soup, first time heard that he love tom yam soup :p and headed to Junceylon mall for a some shopping. Bought her a Nike shoes and batik dress. :)   Day 1 in Phuket , just the kind of relaxation.  ZzzZZZZz.. Night Phuket!

 

 

失散24小时的行李

失散24小时的行李

这次去澳洲工作, 马航真的是要跟我过不去呀! :green:

先不说飞机延迟起飞90分钟, 它们既然把我的行李留在马来西亚呀! 害我在Sydney傻傻的等了好久哟. :evil:

好说这行李袋已经跟我出生入死7~8年了呀, 马航既然敢对它如此. 实在是太可恶了呀! :P:

在失散的24小时里, 我是多么的担心它的安危呀! 而且澳洲晚上是0°C呀! 特地带去的衣服都在行李里, 想冷死我吗?

幸好24小时后, 马航将它送到酒店里好让我们重聚一起呀!

经过此事, 我才知道我是这么的挂念我的行李袋呀! ;))

马航呀! 以你们这样的服务. 实在是太差劲呀! :thumbdown:

香港旅之三: Our Journey To Hong Kong Day 3

Day 3, our destination will be Ngong Ping 360 and the famous landmark in Lantau Island. Woke up this morning and the weather was quite nice. GOOD!

We headed to one of the famous HK noddles shop, 佳佳粉麵店( 港式車仔麵) and had our breakfast. The noodles shop located at Tai Kok Tsui, Mongkok Area. It was recommended by my colleague. Overall the noddles were nice, tasty.

After the breakfast, we took a train from Mongkok MTR Station to Lai King to change Tung Chung Line, and then we stopped at Tung Chung MTR Station. Reached Tung Chung station, find exit B and you’ll see the huge Citigate Outlet front of you, walked past the mall and there is the entrance for the cable car terminal.

We purchased the Single Trip for Standard Cabin Car which costs HKD80 for adults and HKD41. Each cable car can fit up to 17 pax (10 sitting and 7 standing) but 7 of us occupied the whole cabin car. This is the longest cable car ride about 5.7km. My In Law afraid of heights and felt scary during the whole journey. From the cabin car, we had the opportunity to view the scene of lantau Island, Giant Buddha from far, and also Hong Kong International Airport. It was awesome!

Reached Ngong Ping Village, heavy rain again! Damn bad luck! So we decided to have dessert at the Honeymoon Dessert House to escape from the rain. Ngong Ping Village provides its tourists with a diverse array of western and eastern food. We didn’t really have much chance to explore Ngong Ping Village due to raining. We walked to the Giant Buddha under the rain. To reach the Buddha statue, you have to climb 268 steps up the long flights of stairs. Benny and parents did climb up those stairs except me. :P Because I need to take care Chloe .. Her Milk time!

Our next stop will be Tai-O Fishing Village, which is just across a river from Lantau Island. We took bus No 21 from Ngong Ping Village to Tai-O Village. Upon arriving at Tai-O, we take a short walk to the docks where boats depart regularly to go dolphin spotting (famous Chinese white dolphins). It costs HKD20 per person. After the ride, we walked to the village, numerous shops sell dried fish, fish products, and some tourists souvenirs. We had lunch at one of seafood restaurants here.

We took a bus ride back to Tung Chung station, Citigate about 5pm. This is what a girl’s gotta do – SHOPPING! Spend 2 hours inside the mall, various outlets holding much designer fashion, shoes-wear, children wear and others.  Bought a Coach wallet for my mother, and shirt from Ralph Lauren for Hubby while I went home empty handed.

Took MTR from Tung Chung to Mongkok. Backed to the hotel, Hubby and Chloe were too tired and took a nap. So I took the opportunity to shop at the nearest H&M outlet J , bought a nice pair of earrings from Agatha outlet. We ended the night having a late dinner and again, shopped at Mongkok Ladies Street night market.

 

香港旅之二 : Our Journey To Hong Kong Day 2

Today is the 2nd day of our Hong Kong Trip. Today we will only go to one place, which is the Disneyland! Chloe was so exciting, “Mummy ..Mummy.. go see Mickey , Buzz…”! We all woke up early morning and realized the heavy rain as looked through the window.

We had our Dim Sum breakfast at the London Restaurant (倫敦大茶樓) @ Good Hope Building, Nathan Road near the hotel we staying. The London Restaurant is a fantastic, authentic Dim Sum place. How could you go Hk and not eat Dim Sum right??!! When we entered the restaurant, crowded man! As you can see from the crowd, most of the people are old uncle and aunty, enjoying their sumptuous dim sum.

After the breakfast, we took a train from Mongkok MTR Station to Lai King to change Tung Chung Line, and then we stopped at Sunny Bay MTR Station. Upon reaching the Sunny Bay station, passengers will only need to walk across the platform to interchange for the Disney themed Train. Chloe was so exciting when she see those cute Mickey handlers. Everybody rushed out after arriving Disneyland.

DISNEYLAND, CHLOE is COMING!!!!! Disney music are everywhere, after the Disneyland main entrance, we need to walk in about 4 minutes, we saw Mickey is surfing!  Daddy was busy snapping Chloe photos at the entrance. Luckily we doesn’t need to queue to get the tickets as we bought our tickets at The Peak. There were lot visitors waiting to buy the tickets at the entrance counter.

There are basically 4 lands in the Disneyland, Main Street USA, Tomorrow Land, Fantasy land and Adventure land. Every land is designed and constructed based on its own theme. At Mainstreet USA, there were lot shops, café, souvenirs etc.  While Daddy and Chloe were queuing to snap a photo with the Minnie, suddenly heavy downpours and we need to stay inside one of the souvenirs shop. After the rain stopped (about 45minutes), we took an excursion style train , which goes around the whole Disneyland.  Stopped at Fantasyland, and we went for the “Mickey 3D show”.  The 3D show was so entertaining, the sound effect and addition of splashes of water makes everyone laughed.

After the show, it was already 230pm and we looked for a place to settle down for food. Exhausted! After lunch, we saw a lot of people gathering at a place, everyone is queuing to take photos with Minnie! We also took the opportunity to take the Minnie J Chloe so happy J too bad I don’t see Donald Duck.

Then we proceed to the fantasy land. We went to the ‘It’s a Small World”, is a musical Fantasyland boat ride around the countries of the world in Disneyland Park, it populated with cherubic dolls singing a song of world peace -世界真是小小小. Don’t miss the “Golden Mickeys” musical show of all Disney’s films. Great performance.

After the show, proceed to Tomorrowland. Chloe wanted to see Buzz LightYear. Inside, we were waiting for our turn to play the shooting game. We act as the space rangers and help the Buzz lightyear to protect the universe. The shooting game is quite nice, among 3 of us, Chloe score is the highest, HAHA not bad ah!

We were really tired and went off about 630pm, afraid the MTR will be too crowded. We reached the Mongkok station at almost 730pm, headed back to hotel.

We shower and rest in the hotel room. Dinner @ 930pm. We went to Mongkok Ladies market for some shopping. It is the most popular shopping street markets in HK. It is opens from noon until 11:30pm. It is a must visit destination for fashion lovers, bargain priced for handbags, clothing, and toys.

Hubby and Chloe accompany me to Sasa, Mannings and Boujour to shop for my face masks and some facial products. And Hubby managed to get a nice jacket from G2000.

Backed to hotel about 1145pm. Absolutely exhausted, especially my Chloe Little.. Sleep ZzzzZz……

 

香港旅之一: Our Journey To Hong Kong Day 1

27th June 2011- Chloe was burning up some fever > 37.2deg, we were panic and we may have to cancel the trip if Chloe is not getting better.  Next early morning (3a.m.), I gave her fever reducer and hope so she would not be having fever.

On 28th June 2011, Hubby, Chloe and parents flew off to Hong Kong! Our flight was at 7.10 in the morning so we had to be at the airport at 510am. Felt relieved, Chloe temperature was at 36.8deg, she is getting excited and happy in the airport. She kept telling me- Chloe want aero plane!!   We were having breakfast at McD, LCCT. Soon after, we had to board the plane.

We arrived at the Hong Kong International Airport about 11am. After clearing the customs and immigrations, first off purchased the Airport Express ticket, from HKIA to Kowloon Station, adult fare is HKD$90, and also Octopus Card for 7 of us. Octopus Card is an electronic money card which you can pick up for 100HKD and charge up as needed. We use the card to get around on the subway during our stay in HK.

It only 20 minutes travel time from HKIA to Kowloon station. Kowloon station is situated in the Tsim Sha Tsui area. Took cab from station to hotel, we had booked a standard room in “Hotel Stanford” in Mongkok Area. Hotel Stanford is strategically located near the Mongkok MTR station which is also very near to the Ladies market (女人街), tourist attraction. Checked in to Hotel about 1245pm, and the room was pretty comfortable.  After settling down at the hotel,. So we headed for our lunch at Kam Wah Café @ Prince Edward. It started raining on our way to the café.

We will be visiting The Peak (http://www.thepeak.com.hk/) this evening. We purchased the combo tickets for the tram up to the peak and Madame Tussauds (伦敦杜沙夫人腊像馆), didn’t go for Sky Terrance because it was raining. We queue up for the ride J AS the tram move slowly and steeply up to the top, we able to view the beautiful city skyline of Hong Kong. Felt dizzy when I was in the tram. L

We visited the Madame Tussauds which exhibits over 100 local and international celebrity wax figures. You can meet your SUPERSTARs there!!! We have chance to take photos with our favourite idols. Hubby was busy snapping pictures while I were busy chasing Chloe in the center. Chloe also took photos with few celebrities Jwe also managed to buy the HK Disneyland ticket here (HKD350/adult). Didn’t stay long at the peak as it was kinda crowded and cold after the rain, so we went for dinner instead…

We didn’t want to take the tram back down so we decided to take shuttle bus (No 15) from The Peak back to Central MTR Station. The road is curvy, lots of bends. We headed back to Mongkok area for dinner @ Fuk Kee Congee. Food served wasn’t very cheap as well. After dinner, we walked back to hotel which is only about 10 minutes walk. The night scene of HK with lots of Huge billboards and the whole city is full of lights and laser shows.

TIRED …. SLEEP ZzzZzzz…
