Hong Kong and Disneyland

On the 25th of November 2006, was the day where my family and I were leaving for Hong Kong. 5 days and 4 nights. Everybody were so tottaly ready. As for me, I only packed my stuff at the night before leaving Hong Kong. Last minute packing excites me. =D Truly it does! On the 25th, I woke up at 5am. I was so so sleepy. But awfully excited. So, the van guy who was supposed to pick me, bro and mom up arrived early 15 minutes. Got in early eventually and headed straight to Pat Chiti's house. In Hartamas, it was all dark, neighbours were all sleeping but we were all so EXCITED! Since we (Lavinia, Viwen, Hareen and I) were waiting for the others to load in their luggages, we started camwhoring as usual if im there.
In the Van early in the morn.-Then we all got in, headed to KLIA. Shan Chity, Devani and Siva Mama arrived later than us. So we had breakfast at Mcdonalds. And poor lil Lavinia spilled Milo all over her brown jeans which made her tottaly upset. So I took her to the loo and washed it up for her. *Winkx* (Kinda good ol' sister eh) Then, we took this train thingy which led us to the place where we should board. The Train Gettin so ready. Excited. -In the plane I sat next to Lavinia. It was a 4 hour flight to Hong Kong, so there were loads of movies to watch. So, anyways, after 4 long hours of sleepiness, the deaf ears, Siva Mama disturbing Shan Chity and Devani, Devani beating Siva Mama, Mom watching tamil movies, Hareen flipping to channels, Lavinia and Me grumbling, Suresh Uncle, Pat Chiti and Viwen watching movies and us going to toilets with air like flushing, we finally reached HONG KONG! It wasn't that cold because of the global warming. But it was raining. Raining in Hong Kong is like drizzling in Malaysia. Seriously. Thats their rain! Got our luggage and later on, Lavinia and I went to the loo. OH ME GOD!! The loo was like so damn clean! The place where we women sit and groom looks like a saloon!!
In Hong Kong International Airport.
The Loo.. Ok, below are pictures and videos of our vacation in Hong Kong.

Saturday.
-Got a bus just for 10 of us thanks to Frankie our helpful guy in Hong Kong

The bus all to ourselves. =) -Checked in Stanford Hillview Hotel. (Had to climb a small hill by foot)

Lavinia: Hayoh. Must climb again la! *Eyes roles*

Dharsh: Thats what la..*Blinks*

Viwen: Ayoh........*Smiles*
Stanford Hotel Lobby

-Hareen and I got a nice room. Changed it with Pat Chiti coz there were 3 of them in one room. So Hareen and I got a retarded room with a really high toilet bowl. Damn funny!
-Hong Kong City is certainly a busy city. People everywhere. Main transport=Their Legs. Seriously!!
The Busy City of Hong Kong -Walked damn long to the Peak. Lavinia and I were grumbling. Took the Tram Peak which goes slantingly up to the PEAK where we could see all of Hong Kong. Something like KL Tower but better because of the journey to the Peak.
-Gotta pass the Peak Mall. Where we saw talented people. One of them looked like Mark.

The White guy who sang in chinese..The 1 which looks like Mark in d 3rd album The Talented Nigerian Guys .
-Got to the Peak. Bad Luck. Everything was so misty. Couldn't see anything. But it was so cold! You could feel the cold breeze everywhere.

The Cool Breeze on the Peak The Misty Peak -Then took the Tram Peak and went back down.Took the MRT System (LRT). So useful. Fast and convenient. Reached Kimberly Road. Shopping. Had dinner. Ate lots of pork and duck. According to Siva Mama its Piglet! Hehe..

And this is how Siva Mama eats when he is excited and all happy doodle.

-Went back to hotel while others went shopping. Lavinia, Viwen, Hareen, Suresh Uncle and Me. Took bath. Uncle slept. Four children created havoc in the retarded room. Everyone came back. Siva Mama and Shan Chity hung out in my room. All went back. Hareen and I slept uncomfortably.

Sunday
-Next day got up at 6am. Took our bath. Hareen and I got another room. So much better. Had breakfast. I had pork bacon, scramble eggs, bread with butter and jam, coffee. orange juice and water. Then Frankie took us touring to Hong Kong Island. Visited this golden flower thingy which was a special thing to Hong Kong.
The Golden Flower The View of the Buildings of Hong Kong from Hong Kong Island.Chillin in Hong Kong Island - Then headed to the famous Hong Kong jewellry. Bought gold bracelets and stuff.

Buying Jewellry.

-Waited for this other Malaysians who took 1 hour to get back on the bus. Everybody were so angry. A Malaysian lady (Super Mak Cik) who scolded the other Malaysians and brought them back to the bus.

The Chaotic Bus when it's late.

- After all the hustle and bustle, we went to this fishermen village where literally the fishermen and their family lives in a sampan. I mean, they cook there, sleep, doin their 'business' in there, and everything. That's their home. Frankie said that they live in the sampan since the price living in Hong Kong land is so expensive.
Goin for a sampan ride! whee!!!!

The Fisherman's Home..*Sniffs* -And at the fisherman village, there was a floating restaurant. Kinda unique I suppose.
The Floating Restaurant -Went to a beach. On the way there, saw Jackie Chan's House, and this Stanley Ho guy who has four wives. Mr&Mrs Suresh Kumar, Lavinia and Me sat on a bench enjoying the view of the so clean beach with blue waters while the rest walked far to visit a buddha temple.

The Clean Beach

-All got in the bus and headed to Ocean Park. Saw the giant panda. So cute! Yeah well, see there were 2 giant pandas. Eventually, Siva Mama can't resist giving them names. So the picture below is called Hareen and there's another one which was sleeping. Guess what was that one called? Yupe..Dharshini. Siva Mama started calling the two pandas with our names. And probably everybody there thought that was the pandas name. Because I swear I heard this chinese guy calling the first one Hareen softly. Can't be so sure though.

The Giant Panda *Huggies* The Dinosaur which loves me.The Dinosaur which kills Hareen. -Then took the cable car to another hill. (Ocean Park HillTop)

The View from our cable car. -Saw beautiful jelly fishes, sharks, and other wonderful sea creatures!!

The Entrance to the Shark's The Sharks.The Purple Jellyfishes -Then went back. Shopping again at Kimberly Street. Had dinner. Went back to hotel. Hareen,Lavinia, Viwen and I took our bath and played while the rest went to the night market. We (so called the 'kids') teased each other. All of us were laughing really loud. Lavinia and I were simply just watching both Hareen and Viwen dramatizing scenes. Then all came back and everybody slept.

Monday-
-The best day. Got up at 6.45am. Took bath. Packed our stuff. Had breakfast. Took a private bus.

The Bus which took all 10 of us to Hollywood Disneyland Hoteland headed to HONG KONG DISNEYLAND. Reached Hollywood Hotel. It was so awesome. Hollywood HotelX'Mas Mickey The Entrance of the HotelThe people who loves MickeyCheckin In -The room was amazing!!

-So, after washing up, changing, and refreshing ourselves, we took the Disneyland Bus to take us to the station.
Camwhoring while waiting for d Disney Bus -Took the Disneyland train. All of us felt tottaly luxurious. The train has this mickey mouse head windows. So clean. Seats were as comfortable as sofas. Dark blue velvet seats. The train is decorated with statues of all sorts of Disney Characters to bring out the spirit of Disney.

Mom: Fuyooh..look lar Shanthi.!

Shan Chity: Yalar ka...
Rushin in the Disney Train Chillin...Well Shan Chity's just Posin..Finally we made it to Disneyland!!!!!!! ~.1 dream Fulfilled. -Then took another train (MRT) to a place where we all had to take this cable car which took 30 minutes ride to bring us to see that Giant Buddha which is located at Hong Kong's tallest mountain. The view was supposed to be spectular but unfortunately the mist was wow! So cold but enjoying the ride. We were not suppose to eat in the Cable Car, but being Malaysians, we're different. 'Screw the Rules'. Chips were out! Yummy!

(Mom started unpacking her bag filled with chips and started eating)

Shan Chity: See akka..

Hareen: That's what. Not suppose to eat here.

Siva Mama: Camera erreke ka..

*and suddenly everybody searches for the camera*

Devani: Gimme some ka

-Pat Chiti and Suresh Uncle starts taking their can of real potato chips.

And hence, there was a picnic high above the sea where the mist is thick and security camera's around.

The 20th Century Town

-Firstly, we all decided to roam about in Tomorrow Land first. There were Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters where we sit in this spaceship thingy with laser guns and a handler to spin the spaceship. Then we visited UFO zones where Hareen and Viwen got entirely wet. Then there's Space Mountain which took us to a thrilling high-speed journey to the far reachers of the universe and back on this intersellar roller coaster featuring music and sound effects synchronized to the ride's twists, turns and drops. Lastly we went to Autopia where we drove into the future aboard electirc cars that cruises along the highway.

The Space Mountain -We were all so tired after that. We waited for 7pm to watch that magnificent Disney in the Stars. Disney in the Stars is a magnificent magical fireworks spectacular choreographed to classic Disney Songs and music.

Disney in the StarsAfter that, there were artificial snow snowing down the 20th Century Town where there was a huge Christmas Tree which brings up the Christmas Cheer. Then we all went back to our hotel. Since the next day was Pat Chiti's Birthday, we all decided to give her a suprise. At 12am, after having our shower, dinner and card games, the housekeeper came up and delivered us a big blue balloon, a rich chocolate cake plus with paper plates and spoons. Suresh Uncle went to the room and did a lil drama like waking up Pat Chiti and stuff while we prepared the cake and lighted it up with bright candles and burst in by singing happy birthday.

Us in Pat Chity's Room...Happy Buvday!!!!Tuesday.

The next day, Pat Chiti wore a blue badge with Mickey wearing party hats while cutting a cake saying "It's my birthday". And the whole day in Disneyland, all the cast members were wishing her. They were so damn friendly I tell ya. Anyways, we had our yummy breakfast. Breakfast in Hollywood Disneyland was wonderful. There were so many choices. Like hash browns, all types of cereal, jam, toast with assorted breads, asian breakfast, bacons, pancakes, waffles, cheese pizza, all sorts of drinks, eggs, western breakfast,well, there are just so many!!! Devani got excited with her Mickey Mouse waffels.

And then we were off to Disneyland again. This time we went to the remaining both lands. The Fantasyland and Adventure Land. We first headed to Adventure Land. But WAIT!! Guess who were there in the cold cold morning!! THE DISNEY CHARACTERS!! And all 10 of us with child like spirit in our hearts pops out of no where. We were all running up and down. Devani was so busy with her camera. While me and Pat Chiti ran up and down lining up for other Disney Characters. Phew. Whatta day!

So ok..that's done now. So, the first place in adventure land we went was Tarzan's Tree House. It was so much fun. U have take a raft to get there. And explore the tree house which was so damn amazing. After that, we went for the Festival of the Lion King where we witnessed a colorful pageant of music and dance inspired by Disney's The Lion King. When we came out of that theater, we were still talking about it.

The Beginning of the Festival of Lion King.

-Then, our legs headed to the Jungle River Cruise which took us to a journey along the mysterious Rivers of Adventure filled with intrigue, suprises and plenty of humor. After the cruise, there were the Liki Tikis which sways to the beat of the jungle rhythms by spraying waters on us. After those places we all rest a lil while. Some of us visited the Professor Porter's Trading Post. We didn't get anything because Professor was asking for lots of trading. Money for sure!!
