It's sucks to be stuck at home babysitting the house.. Currently, there are renovation work going on in my hse and i happen to be the unfortunate stuck at home, watching the door, and 'enjoying' all the drilling, banging, whatever...

ok... shall blog a bit on my hk trip.. though it didn't turn out to be very enjoyable, i was still able to take a look into the hustle n bustle of hk life.. though largely similar to singapore, there are still some differences here and there.

Below are some glimpse into hong kong..

The tian tan buddha is the largest bronze buddha structure in the world. located in lantau island, the island provided a peaceful n serene background to the statue n temple. Too bad the ngong pign 360 cable car went down a few days b4 i went, so we had to endure the 1 hr roller coster bus ride to the site. the gd thing, there wasn't packs and packs of tourists as i had expected.

The 268 steps leading up to the buddha.

passed by this place on the way to 宝莲寺. it is a freaking prison! a prison with a sea view... think the inmates wun be able to enjoy this view.

There is this place called 心经简林, a bit off the usual tourist spot of the buddha, tat's why it is real quiet there... no 'ah tiongs' shouting around... it is indeed worth a walk down to this place, as it provides some of the most stunning view of lantau...

Next time round shall go hiking...

another place worth a visit on lantau would be 'Tai O' or 大澳. Tai O is a small fishing village by the sea.. This place is indeed a big contrast to the hustle and bustle of kowloon and hong kong.. no car horns... just the sound of the sea breeze and the ringing of bicycle bells. small alleys and mainly 2 storey building... there is indeed a charm to this small village.

the famous Tai O beancurd... a must try if you do visit there... the beancurd is so smooth and the texture is not too hard, and not too soft also.. diff frm sg ones..

the shop we went to.. there were many many such stores, but we didn't know which is the original one. so typical sgporean behaviour, we walk into the one with the most people...

another 2 places tucked away in some corner of hong kong, stanley and repulse bay. stanley is fast being developed into a tourist attraction. what used to be just a beach and a few shophouses is now being joined by a shopping mall. the street market in stanley is now cluttered with brands like watson, delifrance etc... but the beauty of stanley is still there, esp the beach area.. i love beach areas... too bad i didn't stay there long enough to enjoy the sea breeze, as my family claimed it was boring and there is nothing to see...

the murray house. read that this building was demolised and moved over here from central.

shops being developed right before the sea... imagine sitting down at a cafe here, enjoying the breeze and chit chatting with gd frens... how gd would it be...

another beautiful beach. repulse bay. it is machiam like our sentosa palawan beach, where people go and sun tan, play or 'beo' hunks n babes..

shall end off here.. i am lazy to put up the rest of the pics... haha
