Wednesday-HK Museum Day

01-08-07
Every Wednesday is Hong Kong's Museum Day and entrance to all the museums are FREE!~ Since we had class every Wednesday, we could not make use of this Museum Day to visit the many museums in HK... finally, on the last Wed we had in HK, we made it our Museum Day...
But, we (HY, Irene and I) woke up late.... So, we only had time for 1 or 2 best museums.. According to the guide book, the ones in Top 10 must see spots include Science Museum, Space Museum, Museum of Art and Museum of History... From information we gathered from friends who had went, the history museum is the best and space/science (?) museum lousy..
So, off we went to TST where the 4 museums are located nearby (after lunch at University KCR Station Maxim)...

1st stop: HK Museum of Art
Reached there about 2+pm... Was not difficult to locate this huge building at the end of the Nathan Road... where all the nice hotels are in TST~

This is like THE only photo we had of this museum... Cause not allowed to take photos in the museum itself... There were a lot of artsy stuff... even bumped into Zhenghui and Yun Loong in the museum! While Irene walked around as if she's shopping for paintings... examining the paintings and commenting on whether it's lousily drawn or not.. HaHa
Yc came to join us after his lunch at Shatin :)

Next stop: HK Museum of History
This was almost like the Wax Museum at Sentosa, Singapore.... The concept is for you to walk through the history of mankind.. and then to HK... walking through different era...


It's a fun place! We got to act like we were from those era... see us buying some stuff from a traditional shop~
Met Stephanie and bf, Raymond, and some Taiwanese friends there! With Raymond in front of a traditional tailor shop :)
Oh! I'm the shortest -__-"'


Old street with old shops on both sides... old traditional chinese medicine shop.. old pawnshop... nice!
old tea house...
old school mailboxes! red and nice :)

red and nice (again)!

tram! in the museum :)
huge stamp on the wall...
This is HONG KONG :)

We left the museum as it was closing for the day at 6+pm... We walked over to the Victoria Harbour for more photo-taking...
Beautiful afternoon... Irene and HY went on crazy phototaking spree! While Yc tried to scare me by telling me ghost story in broad daylight! HaHa :)


Traditional ship~ We can actually board this ship but reservation was needed and the places were all full til after the date we leaving HK :(


Me and the beautiful Victoria Harbour HK........... Missed it soooo soooo much!

It was such a fun and sunny afternoon! :) Irene snapping HY snapping her... o_O

Last stop: Harbour City (dinner and movie)

Irene left 3 of us to do her shopping @ Harbour City~ the 3 of us walked around... shopped a bit (HY bought Adidas stuffs for her bro)... then time for dinner

"FRESHNESS BURGER"

a Japanese fastfood restaurant... at the basement (or ground floor) of Harbour City...

HY and I had the Teriyaki Chicken burger with pumpkin bread while Yc got the Fish burger... cuppaccino + cinnamon coffee :)
the pumpkin bread burger is so nice! soft, sweet and tasty!

After dinner, we met Zh to watch "Transformers"! Yc actually watched it before but... he liked it a lot..HaHa

I actually fell asleep in the cinema! at the very last part where the robots were fighting.. Why? too tired i think~ played too much...

Movie ended late and we took a cab back to i-house... Went over to Yc's place to get some anti-emetics (was feeling nauseated for a while..)... It was 1+am when I walked into my flat...

Guess who I met the moment I opened the door?

KH and Jimmy were in my flat! Waiting for us to come back! Their gang came back from Shenzhen with lots and lots of stuff.. and my polka Dot PORTER bag! So happy! Many of the NTU gang were leaving the next day... KH bought Belgian Waffle and HM bought Krispy Kreme.. there were also beer.. and other food... It was farewell party for them... (It was near 2AM o_O)

I was dead tired but I could not say No to Krispy Kreme! I could not say No to food.. I could not say No to my last night with this best group of friends I made in HK... So, we all went down to the party venue-Blk 1 Level 1 :)
The Malaysians with the Singaporean- our supplier of food, entertainment and air cond! :)

Tonight I didn't play bridge cause my brain had really shut down... I didn't drink beer too.. I just ate the doughnut and waffle... I left at 3+AM while the rest were still cooking supper (or breakfast?).. I promised to send them off at 8AM the next day... Said my goodbye and went back to HY's room to sleep (cause I was afraid to sleep in my room alone-->another story)

I didn't wake up in time to send them off the next day. Yea, I'm a bad person :( But I'm going to see them back in Singapore anyway, so it's not that bad.. HeHe
