Hong Kong Travelogue: 香港 Day 4!

Last post for this Hong Kong travelogue! I remember i once jokingly told the people who went on this trip with me that they can expect our HK travelogue to be published on Good Friday, but i was really joking! Didn't expect myself to take so long. (Anyway, Good Friday is on 6 April this year...) I took like 4 months to finish this travelogue. Sometimes i wonder how some people can instantly blog about their holiday on the ACTUAL day itself. Aren't you supposed to enjoy your holiday instead of uploading photos, editing them and blog about your day? That's something i cannot do. LOL

Was supposed to wake up early to at least explore the hotel. It's like we are paying so much for the hotel but we never really go down to explore around. BUT apparently we overslept since we slept really late the day before because we had to take turns to bathe and pack our luggage. Oh wells.

In addition to our luggages, we had to get more bags for our hauls!

Managed to squeeze everything into my luggage and hand carry my capsule machine!

Photo before leaving the hotel!

Took the routine shuttle bus to Jeffery's place to put our luggage and head for breakfast.

We went to explore Jeffery's hostel (Hop inn) and went into a few empty rooms that was left unlocked to checkout the different themes they have! I think the next time i go Hong Kong, i will consider staying at Hop inn since it's cheap and convenient. But the problem is the bathing part, LOL

We told ourselves we should the Char Siew rice one more time before leaving Hong Kong so we went back to the same restaurant that we went on the very first day. Ordered a few dishes for breakfast first because lunch was not ready. I had a polo bun while waiting patiently for my rice to be ready!

"When is the next time i will taste such nice buns..."

MY CHAR SIEW RICE WITH DOUBLE EGG! ♥ ♥ ♥


Our total bill. Let see, my char siew rice cost... HKD38 = $6! Totally worth it.

Took a photo outside the store. I will definitely visit this restaurant when i come to HK next time!

Here's how the interior of the Agnes B cafe looks like!

Can't help taking out my Agnes B Wallet and take a photo of it in the cafe, LOL

Everyone bought something back to SG. Honestly the things inside are not cheap...

Around noon, we went back to Jeffery's hostel, grabbed our luggage and went over to Kowloon station! Did you know that you can check in your flight and deposit your luggage at Kowloon station instead of the airport? Well, you can! After that we took the airport express train to the airport!

Here's an idea of the things we are bringing back to SG :D

Camwhore with a DSLR is never easy.

Took a photo of Danbo while on the train! Cute right? Purposely make it B&W ♥

Wei feng brought his Spinner 360' lomography camera! Until now also haven't develop lor!

While waiting to board the plane. Have to wait for a bus to fetch us to the plane...

The 4 people who made this trip such an enjoyable one ♥

Queuing up to take the plane, leaving Hong Kong...


BACK TO SINGAPORE...

Well, that's all i have for this 4 days Hong Kong travelogue. I love holidays (who doesn't!) The first time i took a plane when i was 21 and now my aim is to go to as many countries as possible now that i have the ability to pay for my own expenses. I want to eat, travel and take photos for memories and update this little space of mine! So where's the next stop? ♥

[Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4]

iTouch, iPhone or iPad?

From the title above, it's quite obvious what this post is gonna be about right? Well, it all started when i first saw a white iPod touch during a lucky draw. I was asking everyone around me, "Is that a WHITE ipod touch?! Since when?" From what i know, iPod touch has ALWAYS been black (I have the black one) but suddenly out pop a white one. There wasn't even a official announcement right?

Honestly that night, i was crossing my fingers and praying very hard that i would win it. When they announced the first 4 digits of the IC no, it was EXACTLY the same as mine, until the 5 digit, FML

The next thing i did was to 'research' on whether there's really the white iPod touch. To my amazement (a bit kua zhang but still!) It has the Retina screen, front and rear camera, it's white etc. I thought it would be a good blogging 'tool' since i'm always lazy to bring out my EX1. But then again, the important question is, Do i really really really really need a white iPod touch?

You see. #1: I already have a black one (even though it's an older model) #2: There's camera so i won't be able to bring it around due to my job. #3: I already have 2 iPod shuffles, 4 iPod Nanos, 1 itouch and an iPad. Do i really need another itouch? In the end, it all lies down to - I can easily buy it anytime i like BUT i'm not willing to pay 288 bucks for something that i technically already have.

No matter what, i'm still not willing to fork out the money! Then again, i really want it so i was thinking what ways can i get it without forking out any money. Suddenly, i received an email on this blog contest and the prize was $300 CAPITALAND CASH VOUCHER. I was like, "If i win, i could use the cash vouchers to get an iPod touch right?!" So i spent a whole day drafting the post and submitting it. GUESS WHAT? I WON. I WON THE $300 CAPITALAND CASH VOUCHERS. Oh my tian.

Well well well. Just when you thought everything is over. I'm happy with my $300 voucher, and i can get the white iPod touch (i even had $12 extra ok! LOL) Fickle-minded me is now thinking...

Should i use the $300 to off set, top up and get a white iPhone 4S instead?

Someone just slap me, thanks. Now i'm thinking. Everything that i want in the iPod touch is available on the latest iPhone 4S. The camera is even better at 8MP. I can even instantly upload any photo that i take on twitter, Facebook instead of finding WIFI to upload for the itouch. I can even use it as a secondary phone in addition to my Blackberry by just getting another sim card at $10+ per month!

After minus-ing the $300, i still have to pay about $650 though. Just when you thought i only have to choose between the iPod touch and the iPhone 4S. Last week, APPLE decided to launch the...

OH MY TIAN! WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO MEEEEEE!!!

By the time you read this post, the New iPad should be selling in the stores right now. Anyway, What kind of name is "The New iPad"?! Imagine during the reveal, Tim Cook says, "Now, this is the moment we have all been waiting for - Let us witness the New iPad!" *everyone waits for the official name e.g iPad 3 or iPad HD before clapping* #AWKWARDMOMENT much!!! AHAHAHHAHAHAHA

The 16GB 3G version cost $828 so after off setting the $300, i still have to fork out $528. So it's either i pay nothing and get the iPod touch ($288), pay $650 to get the iPhone 4S or pay $528 for the New iPad. You tell me how to decide like this? I've got 3 options right now. HOW HOW HOW?

This tweet is quite true right?
