MacDonald's... I'm loving it... ???

Daddy & Mommy have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. The irony is... Most parents have to keep their kids away from MacDonald's yummy french fries, but my parents had to throw in some attractive incentives to make me eat those golden yellow potato sticks willingly! Haha!

Other than french fries, some of the other food that I've finally decided to give it a try are bread, biscuits, noodles and rice. I may not try those food all the time too, it depends on my mood. Hee! Daddy & Mommy pray that I will accept all types of food by the time I reach 4 years old.

FUN @ Hong Kong (again) - Day 3

Day 3 was the most boring day. I slept till 9.15am and we only left the apartment at 10am. We took the train to Hong Kong station, and walked quite a long way to the Ferry Terminal, where we took a ferry to Park Island.

We were heading to the Noah's Ark situated at Park Island! We imagined that there would be a nice play area for families to enjoy themselves, as advertised by the HK Tourism Board website. However, there were very few people in the ferry going to the island. The walk to the Ark was rather long but scenic. We paid S$50 for the entrance fees, thinking that there would be many things to explore and play inside. To our dismay, the place was more suitable for teens as the activites were meant for young adults. The playground was also not for toddlers like me, and it was closed anyway. I kind of preferred the upper museum level, which was like Science Centre to me, with buttons to press, things to play with, but I don't understand very much of the display.

Well, that was a disappointing trip. So Daddy & Mommy decided to pamper themselves with roasted goose for lunch at the famous Yung Kee Restaurant, even though the time was already 2pm. It was a yummy meal, but the timing for lunch was late and our plan for seafood dinner at Sai Kung was called off.

So we decided on shopping instead! After my nap (and tantrums along the streets), we travelled to the largest mall at Causeway Bay - Times Square.

This Christmas, Times Square invited the renowned Taiwanese illustrator Jimmy to create a Christmas Street themed “A date at the Times”, staged at the second floor Atrium and Open Piazza. This creative assembles Jimmy’s signature characters under the trees of elegant and decorative lights, all wrapped in Christmas’ love and dream in order to share the blissful moment with the people in Hong Kong.

It was Christmas eve! Many roads were blocked and the streets were crowded with many people - walking, shopping, taking pictures, queueing up for restaurants, etc. This was the first time I spent Christmas overseas and the feeling was good! But I still miss my home in Singapore! Hee!

FUN @ Hong Kong (again) - Day 2

Disneyland!!! Here we come again!!!

It was Disneyland @ Christmas! Everywhere was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations! We love the holiday setting... except for the whole lot of unconsiderate people from China who spoilt part of the Christmas atmosphere. The whole park was crowded with people!

Time passed so quickly, and the queues were so long... I only managed to take my favourite rides - "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", "It's a Small World" and "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters" - as well as watch "The Golden Mickey" and it was already lunch time. We took a quick bite and managed to catch the floats display on the Main Street, before we travel all the way back to our apartment for my nap!

By the time we reached Disneyland again after rest (and not forgetting after throwing my tantrums), it was already evening and night was setting in. It was a totally different atmosphere as there was Christmas street performances, lighting of the huge Christmas tree, as well as the very unique lens to see the special lighting effects of Christmas!!

The best part is of coz the spectacular fireworks! We grabbed a quick dinner, found ourselves a good position right in front of the castle, sat on the cold floor and waited for almost 30min to catch the best view of the fireworks! Mommy was quite satisfied with me for being able to stay at one location for so long! She thought I could have thrown tantrums and we would have to give up our best "seats" to walk around. Hee! That was the longest day of our stay in Hong Kong. The fireworks began at 9pm, and we slept at 11.30pm that night.

FUN @ Hong Kong (again) - Day 1

It was our 2nd trip to Hong Kong! Why did we choose to go Hong Kong again?? Coz of Disneyland... and it's one familiar place where we can explore around free-and-easy... and Mommy can cook my meals everyday! This time we decided not to stay in hotels but to try out the Citadine Ashley apartment that Carys' family stayed in during their last visit.

We took the Airport Express from the Airport Terminal 1 station to Hong Kong station. I couldn't resist any further and drifted to dreamland for a short while during the smooth train journey. Citadine Ashley is situated in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. This was how our cosy apartment look like...

Everything was COOL and very clean! We were disappointed that they do not provide a playpen for me like the Disney hotel did. However, we managed to resolve the situation quite quickly... Mommy & Daddy will take turns to share the queen-size bed with me! Hee! The only complain Mommy had was that the bed was so hard, it made her hip bones hurt!

This was how the surroundings of Tsim Sha Tsui look like... just like the typical scenes in Hong Kong dramas...

I took a short nap after checking into our room, while Mommy cooked my dinner. After the rest, we headed straight for the Peak which we missed visiting the last time. We took the Peak Tram 45 degrees up (and down) the mountain... That was indeed a great steep experience!
The weather up on the Peak was cold but not as cold as we expected. Mommy came prepared with a tiny pair of gloves to warm my little hands as and when needed. The sky was clear and there was no mist... and we saw the best sunset we've ever seen!

These are some of the best pictures taken of me on Day 1...
