Took off on the 18th july, early in the morning at 8am. It was still dawn when i reached airport lor. Lol. Took Cathay Pacific... so the flight journey and breakfast was still alright...* Pic taken on plane
Landed at HK in noon... Took an hour before i can get out of the airport, cos the check out was very long... Dear got out in like 5mins, cos he used his HK PR identity.

The Aivary - where many different kind of birds, big and small are let loose in there. They are not afraid of human ya...
Took the cable rides as well... which is one of the transport for moving ard Ocean Park... Again the weather was very good and the view up there was beautiful. And one thing, dear have height probia. Lol. Oops.
Focus of the day was to go see my fav dolphins. Miss it last year, and i determined not to miss it again. Went to Dolphin University, and it's where these dolphins learn their tricks and stuffs. There's so many dolphins there.... and we're so near them! So fun ya. They are so happy swimming ard and when their 'teachers' came, they become more hyper. Each of them have their own pail of food with their name on it. So cute lah!. I'm impressed tt those trainers and the dolphins themselves noe who they are. Lol. Also went to the Ocean threate to watch their performance. It was great! There's live band singing, water ballet performance, seal performances and of course the dolphins show!
There's also pandas at Ocean Park! As usual, these pandas is living a good life... Nice air-con habitat, food lying everywhere... Lol. But there's only 4 big pandas there. Only 2 of them stay at the same place. That two is the most funny de lah. They keep pushing or playing with each other. The other one is the next room was sleeping, and the last one was eating non-stop. Lol. So cute!
Hong Kong Transportation
There is many different kind of transportation in HK. Managed to try most of them. But our main transport during this HK trip is dear's dad's car. Lol. But still we did took express train in the airport, cab, their public bus to the ocean park, the MTR, their ferry across the islands, their 'electric tram/bus' as well as the tram/train to the peak. Lol. Fun!
Juz some random shots i took randomly. Lol. There's my lions surrounding the new sheepie bought in HK, a ice-skate area right in the middle of a shopping center, some luggage shots, a desert stall that's kind of similar to my name, LOL. Also saw a taiwanese boyband, bang bang tang or lollipop while having dim sum lunch with dear's relatives. By request of my sis, took some pics and videos of them, while enduring the screaming power of HK gals.
Some shots of me!
And shots of dear!
And of course shots of us!
So that's about all of the HK trip. Had fun thou tiring. Enjoyed ourselves to all the food (esp) in HK, beautiful scenary, sight-seeing to many places, shopping, taking all sorts of public transports, day of fun in Ocean park, and spending time together during this trip.
Also i become even more tanned as well. Shucks.
