But I could go all night right here between their crossfire.
Operation Fragrant Harbour
Day 3
HahahAHAHAHhhaAHahAhhaHAhAhAhahAHaahah I'm so excited as I'm typing this!!!!! DAY 3 WAS FREAKING OCEAN PARK :)))))
Breakfast was the most amazing(not exaggerating) char siew rice I've eaten ever in my whole 18 years of life.
In SG, when you order a plate of char siew rice or even wanton mee, you'd expect to see bright red, thin slices of pork meat, but the ones we ate in HK were genuine, thick, juicy slices of pork meat with a dull reddish-brown colour(indicating that no artificial dye has been used).
Looks simple, but this baby packs a punch, one bite and your taste buds are on their way to heavenly food nirvana!!!
Ohhh, I love trams! It's as if trains and buses had sex and produced little babies called trams, but better! We rode the tram almost every day hehe.
Overexposed, cause the sun was too bright ):
While waiting for the Ocean Express
We went on a Saturday morning and the entire place was brimming with people, so we decided to sit on all of the scary rides first instead of looking at aquariums and animals.
The first ride we sat on was The Flash, HAHAHAHA omg what can I say, we started the day with a crazyass ride.
So basically, this ride consists of a vertical axis that goes 360 degrees...THREE times and while you're being swung around, the circular part of the ride spins too.
HAHAHA at this point of the ride, all the obscenities just started flowing freely out of our mouths.
Next ride was Whirly Bird, you're just spinning around while you're elevated from the ground, and you can control the wings too :)
We tried to sing the school song on this ride but after the first few verses, it failed terribly cause I guess the ride was spinning too fast so you can't really hear the singing HAHAHAH
Next up, went into this icy looking place that said the waiting time was only 5 mins, so we went in, thinking it was some kind of a ride but it just turns out to be a fishy(literally) penguin enclosure.
Ain't this plump fellow a qt? : )
You know you're in deep shit when you see clowns.
The newest addition to the park is the Hair Raiser, and yes, IT DID RAISE OUR HAIR, ALONG WITH OUR HEART RATES.
I've got to admit, this has got to be the most thrilling coaster I've ever been on, even scarier than the ones at USS and Universal Studios Japan.
Yea well Ocean Park is actually built on a mountain, and this ride is already friggin tall so combine built on a mountain + being tall on its own = this insane ride which overlooks the sea and gigantic buildings that look tiny on the ride.
All of us were like, "fuck. fuck. fuckfuckfuckfuckFUCKKKKKK AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" as the coaster was brought up the chain lift hill slowly before descending like mad in a flash.
Everything happened so quickly, before you can scream when you've reached a drop, you're suddenly up again so nothing comes out from your mouth hahaha.
Who needs towels man?! Bathe finish already then sit on this ride, guaranteed you're dry as a bone at the end of it.
Sat on the Mine Train next, SUPERB VIEW MAN, could see a bird's eye view of beautiful Hongkong on the roller coaster before we were plunging towards the Earth and yelling at the top of our lungs. Heheheheh awesome experience, we were shouting chemistry stuff instead of crude words on the ride. Calcium carbonate!!!! Hydrochloric acid!!!! etc. Ms Chong would be so proud of us :')
On our second water ride, no pics of the first one ):
Guess how much this costs....SGD$18
"Hey kids, don't do drugs!"
With the right amount of editing, this picture has the potential to be a hit on tumblr ;)
didn't sit on the donut thing(kind of regret, sigh) but that one seriously can puke man!!! Ended up wasting SGD$50 on carnival games and we wound up winning only a small soft toy, DAMN IT, they always make it seem so easy to win the games but according to my stats calculations hmmmmmmm, the probability of winning a game is like 1 over 100 factorial
Sat on The Dragon thrice cause it was already evening time and the queue for the coaster was relatively short, so yeah :)
Fun but not as thrilling as The Mine Train and Hair Raiser.
Caught parts of the sunset while in the queue : )
Before we could catch any of the shows or visit the animal enclosures, it was already dark. But it's ok man, ain't really into that type of stuff anyway.
lookin' trippy as heck.
HEY LOOK, it's Kai Kai and Jia Jia and Ah Meng the orangutan!!!
Bye Whiskers, seeya soon!
Dinner was at Lan Kwai Fong!!!!!
The legendary wanton mee from Mak's Noodle. Dayuuum son, those wantons were so good.

'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
Operation Fragrant Harbour
Day 2
Right after the countdown, we left and made our way to the MTR station to get back to our hotel but it was friggin' crowded, everyone was basically making a mad rush for the station. And all the side entries of the station were sealed off except for the main one, probably to prevent a bottleneck issue.
By the time we got back, it was already 1 plus, roomed with Weili and Zhenyang hahahahaha best room mates ever. Throughout the 6 nights that we spent in the room together, we just went crazy and talked lots of nonsense and just goofed around. Bathed + watched some HK drama + chatted until close to 3am before we slept.
Felt the terrible effects of a lack of sleep the next morning, breakfast was takeaway dim sum oh gosh the siew mai was SEX and the cha siew bao was great too.
Kinda looks like Japan's railway
Took lots of stops and changed multiple lines on the MTR before we reached Sai Kung, where we met up with our Dutch tour guide to bring us on our boat tour.
LOVE THIS CUTIE AH MA!!!! Her swag game is on point man, she was wearing sunnies and chatting loudly in Canto on her phone, decked out in Nikes and high socks all while controlling the boat! ♥♥♥
Listen up kids, these are how beaches and tombolos look like.
Peace & serenity.
Back at the same tombolo I visited in 2013, with the HK trip people, dem feels :')
Rocks rock.
The legendary bo luo bao(pineapple bun) rock, cause it has similar texture to the famous HK bun :) Erosion has caused the boulders to crack and assume their current texture #geog101
sooooooooo pretty
Ahhhh these two fellows were so lovable and playful, kept brushing against our legs as we walked on the tombolo :)
Sea caves & volcanic hexagonal columns
Back on the boat to travel to Yim Tim Tsai Island.
they sell really yummy glutenous pumpkin, sesame and peanut balls here!!!!
Handsome chap
Salt field.
An abandoned house, spooky but charming.
Hipster shot.
This wise guy once said:
Hipster shot no. 2
Took the main bus back to Kowloon District before taking a 小巴(minibus) to Mongkok.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love Mongkok, it has always been like a badass type of cool place to me ever since I was a kid since I used to watch HK dramas alongside with my Ah Ma and Ah Gong and in those shows, the HK mafia would always be loitering around Mongkok, where their gang headquarters were located at :)
A shopper's paradise
Lunch.
Visited Citygate and yep, it was as boring as 2 years ago when Mrs Chan brought us there. Basically they were selling the same ol stuff and the Nike store there had such limited range
Went to Tim Ho Wan for dinner, this is the real deal man. But it was hella crowded omg, we waited so long for the food, and even so, there was no space in the restaurant to accommodate us so we just followed the locals and sat on the floor outside the restaurant to eat. TRUE BLUE HOBOS.
FREAKING AMAZING ESP. THE CHA SIEW BAO OMG WE WERE SO IN LOVE WITH IT. Before we left, we bought more cha siew baos for supper.
Went back to the hotel to rest after a crazy long day, heh every night, Nana, Lihser and Xiaoying would gather in our room for "meetings" HAHAHA and we would end up making lots of noise.
