Family Time!

my semi-extended family visted me 2 weeks ago. i was very happy to have them here but yet i was also very tired bringing them around to places im not very familiar with. HAHA. yes im not a very good guide lah. there are many places which i myeslf havent even visited. but anyhow, i believe they still managed to have a good holiday - eat, shop, sleep, eat, shop, sleep, eat, shop, sleep!

for accommodation, it is impossible to house all 7 of them in my tiny house. if they were to stay with me, we can only stand, no other movements is possible! but they did visit my small and cosy house. so i rented a service apartment for them in Sham Shui Po but it's still too small. HAHA. it stated on the website that it has 3 bedrooms. well, considering the fact that 5 of them are going to stay in that house, we all assume that it's enough. unfortunately, we forgot that it's hong kong. the house was decent but the beds were sooooo small. my brother had to sleep on the sofa and he was complaining that he paid $388 to fly to hong kong to sleep on the sofa and demanded that i give him back his money. HAHA. like i will.

but because they were here, i managed to visit Lantau Island and also Disneyland. i have always wanted to visit Lantau Island but was always too lazy. but finally managed to do it. it's pretty and nice. one could feel a sense a peace when one's there. not sure if it's because there arent tall buildings and the air is fresher up on the hill or because it's a buddhist place. anyhow, it was pretty pretty.

took the cable car up. pretty scary at some areas. wind was pretty strong too. the cable car shook. mum was scared. grandma was excited. haha



Grandma doesnt have the strength to climb up the stairs. so she could only take a picture from the bottom. a very pretty picture of my grandma. wonder if i would look as pretty as her when im old.



not sure if im allowed to take pictures but i snapped this while a group of ang mohs were busy snapping. i guess i was hoping no one realized that i took one too.



the BIG BUDDHA.

the big Buddha closed-up. basically at the bottom of the Buddha is like a resting place for the dead. Anita Mui's ashes were there and there were soo many offerings at her picture. cant take a picture though.

had another good day at DisneyLand. it's really small. you can finish the whole park in one day. as compared to the Anaheim, it's really very very tiny. but i like the fact that it's tiny. so i can finish everything in one day and wont have to make a 2nd trip. but it's a little bit tooo expensive. the entry ticket cost HKD 350 bucks!!! too much for such a small park.



pretty right??



that's me jumping. this was my 2nd or 3rd try. it was soo hard to capture a nice jump shot. but somehow, i managed to do it. haha my mum attempted too but failed. so funny. but seriously, it's very tiring.



i have to share this picture because i thought i look quite pretty here. HAHAHA. but i think the credit has to go to my brother's gf who took this picture for me. hee hee



family portrait!! very pretty right. everyone's looking happy and good!!!



they actually have this HSM thingy going on. i was pretty excited and forced my family to wait for them to come out. however i was utterly disappointed. i mean i know they are not the real cast but seriously, the hk cast is ANNOYING. the girl on the left has the MOST annoying voice ever and she kept sprouting in cantonsese " go wildcats" argh. i feel like telling her to shuddup and go home and sleep. and i think they should have learnt the dance steps of HSM instead of dancing their own ugly ones. *puke* but i still stayed for the whole show as i really like HSM. so lame right?

anyway, next time when my family is here again, we can go to the outskirts of Hong Kong or maybe Macau. didnt manage to visit Macau this time ( although it's in the plan ) because my grandma is kinda too old to walk so much. oh wells, maybe next time, we can just do a Macau trip and so it wont be so tiring.
