i guess this trip has been pretty eventful ' especially cause it is my first trip overseas on my own without my parents and just with friends and the biggest event of all would be losing my wallet which i sobbed and sobbed over because i had just started using that wallet and inside contained like at least SGD$500 worth of money and my IC ;;
other than that, the trip was really really superb !!! i really had lots of fun eventhough my period came early and I was left one day without play but it was really a very different experience for me !
Honestly, I never thought my parents would actually let me go overseas on my own and I was really surprised they actually did, initially i had wanted to go korea instead but the thought of it being so cold made me not want to go; and i know i will surely have alot of regrets if i do go to korea and come back with no money left at all- well hong kong too since i got robbed so oh wellz
DAY ONE
I had gone on a different flight from chloe and eileen and met them at hong kong airport ! the flight there was pretty okay but I was aching to go to the toilet after the air stewardess constantly gave drinks out but the guy sitting at the aisle seat was sleeping and I didnt really wanna wake him up so I decided to go after the meal when he wakes up but just when it was my turn to go into the toilet, the seat belt sign went on and the air stewardess told me to go back and I was just .... I couldnt even sleep cause i needed to pee so badly ;;;

| first and last photo of my wallet - first day i was using it |
 |
| SEOUL ;;; |
of course I picked the international one orz although it needed lots of salt and the eggs were slightly over cooked but the sausage was really really good !!!! the cake sucked though
reached HKIA and immediately tried to find a toilet but I had actually walked back to the exit of the plane cause I think i saw my name and indeed - turns out cause I was travelling alone and they asked if i needed assistance orz
met with eileen and chloe and wewent over to chloe's place to place our luggages and walked over to the ride the cable car !
we decided to ride the crystal cabin cable car where you can see the view below you on the floor !! It was slightly more expensive than the normal one but queues for it were much shorter and it was pretty cool i guess
blur photo but just to show you how I suffered climbing all the way up alright. I died 2 times climbing it and it wasnt really that fascinating orz you barely could do anything
we had then gone to meet the adults at city gate outlet since it was nearby and super impromptu but we decided to catch mockingjay which had been released that day ! i really wanted to watch it but was thinking if I come back to sg everyone would have already watched it and I would have no one to watch it with ;; movie tickets are pretty expensive eventhough it was a weekday ;; and the movie was actually pretty disappointing :-(
DAY TWO
it has always been a wish to actually go disneyland on my birthday and yay !!! it has come trueee chloe's mom treated us to dimsum in the morning before heading to disney because everything at disney is so exxxx ate til I was so freaking full but it was really yummy !! especially the custard bunss
the view of toy story land while taking the toy soldier parachute ride !! love love love the car ride thing ;; we had seen elsa and anna but the queue was crazy and all so we decided to go elsewhere ;; and we actually saw snow white at the pavillion
I honestly never knew disney had a place for photo taking !! but because we were rushing to attend the golden mickey show, we didn't manage to queue for mickey and minnie and winnie the pooh :-( we even say aurora while running to the golden mickey show but we didnt manage to take photos ;; the funniest part would be where they played the march for assembly and we were on the way for the golden mickey show ;; we had already like missed 2 shows because we came too late orz i swear the march was a sign HAHAHA.
slinky dog was kind of a bore orz as compared to the crazy one at ocean park ;; didn't manage to take photos of it though !!
was really full and all but I was determined to get a churro from disneyland and it was so so good !!! missed eating loads and loads of churros like in US// only toy story land sold churros ;; thank god we went back a second time at night !!
we then discovered the new ride - grizzly bear and we took it like 3 times ??? and totally missed the parades and all but we still rushed back to the castle for fireworks
photo credits to andre who was our photographer and 10% discount for the day HAHAHA hilarious ;; we went back like really late and went over to Andre's house for steamboat ;;
DAY THREE
we then headed for mongkok and the protests were there and it was a pretty unique sight i guess since you would most likely never see that in singapore
we wanted to find the soba shop and had much troubles and walked really far ;;
we had then passed by the kpop building place and I actually bought two albums which I had initially intended of getting ;; and they were priced pretty cheap - close to blogshop prices so I bought them - zhoumi's rewind album because I love most of the songs in the album and I was pretty surprised that there was photocard orz and of course, got 7's identity album and was so surprised it was sold because it had only been released a few days back - immediately opened it while waiting for food and got jackson's photocard orx must have been fate to have gotten hk jackson in hong kong HAHAHA
saw this ice cream shop so so familiar ??? HAHAHA honey granny though !! but didn't try it because I was afraid it would taste the same as sg and I was so full by dinner
AND WE FREAKING FOUND THE SOBA SHOP AFTER DINNER
I SWEAR I DIED WHEN I SAW NATURE REPUBLIC FROM THE SOBA SHOP
spend HKD$100 and you can do a lucky dip for free exo stuffz and I cant believe I didn't buy more hand sanitizers as souvenirs
of course my new love --- sanTAO claus k
and after shopping till I almost died, commemoration photos at the protest area ;; everyone totally got lost of each other at ladies market and it was so difficult to find everyone - thank god I had stuck to the other chloe who had a phone
went back super super late but still had gone to andre's house for a sleepover ;; the wind was so so strong and had to be the coldest night of the entire trip
DAY FOUR
walking to take the bus to ocean park and I saw the time was 1106 and immediately took a photo and andre asked me what was even nice to photograph here - 1106 is always a number that i will take much notice of since it is my baobei's birthday hehehe
mandatory shot of the ticket and chloe lee was nice enough to trade with me for the panda one hehehe although it is lost now since it was in my wallet K
didn't take photos of the rides and park cause I was too busy having fun ;; took hair raiser as the first ride and it was hella fun !! eventhough me and chloe were pretty pissed by the two women who sat on the same row as us -_-
had never taken such rides before and it was a hell of an experience !!
cable car ride back !!!
DAY FIVE
headed for macau with my period on full blow and didn't have much cramps in the morning but it totally hit me hard in the afternoon and I didn't think i could walk much so I decided to stay in the hotel and sleep ' especially because I didn't have my usual pills and pharmacy ones didnt work T-T
had a japanese feast on the ferry there because chloe's mom had just came back from japan !! the onigiri was so so good !!
had buffet lunch at the macau tower place where people bungee jump ;; spread wasn;'t that great but the desserts were good !! especially the praline brulee
didn't manage to go sightseeing because of my cramps so ;-( only had a good seafood dinner and back to the hotel
DAY SIX
went over to zhuhai in china !! didnt really manage to get much because it was not that cheap compared to taobao ;; although the toys were cheap !! hahahaha and the macs fries were so good cause very salty
honey lava cake i bought which was rly yummy !!
DAY SEVEN
met up with elle and had yumcha again and off to kwai fong for shopping
pretty cheap shopping at kwai fong and much cute stuff as well !! headed to mongkok eventhough it was known to be a bit chaotic at the moment -
had gone to argyle centre for dirt cheap shopping but had my wallet stolen where the person shoved me and opened my bag and ran with my wallet I CANT EVEN ughhh i had wanted to go eat soba and go nature republic to get hand sanitizers for my brothers and that happened where i was so stressed out and sad
thanks for the funny police report mong kok police ; it made me laugh
DAY EIGHT
had flight back in the afternoon but chloe and Eileen's flight was around 1.5 hours earlier so I had gone to check in early and went back broke as hell
intially wanted to get some dried mangoes for my grandma and do some last minute shopping in the airport but no $$$$ sian
was kind of taken aback when they scanned my bar code during boarding when it gave the reject sound and i was like 'my wallet stolen and now i cant go home ???' but turns out they just returned me my unaccompanied minor form
the christmas deco on the plane is so cute hehehe and i was so happy to see that the entertainment was for dec eventhough it was still november !! because the nov entertainment sucked ;;
was so glad to see tiny times 3 in the movie selection and maze runner orz i still had not watched it because everyone watched it without me ;-( and new albums !!! more k-singers in jpop but it is good and ot12 for the korean radio channel
the mash potatoes were so good !!! was sad that there was no other ice cream flavour :-((((
but nevertheless glad to be back home !! :-) where it is very much safe hmmm learnt a really important lesson during this trip and i guess it will always scare me
