LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

... Dont know when I'll be back again ...

My own inflight entertainment ... 
Well, this is my 1st time traveling on AAX flights for more than 5hours. Previous trip was to Macau, short flight but "horri-reble" (horrible +terrible). Should not mention it again as it was not at all a pleasant flight for me.

But AAX London was surprisingly GOOD~ * Well Done, AirAsiaX *

  • Stewardess where nice, polite and smiled all the way;
  • food was not bad too but they mixed up my order (=.=");
  • as a compensation, I was given a gift (=.^) ;
  • seats were reasonable comfortable, to my surprise (I thought it was going to be nightmare);

From 1 place 2another (Part IV)

Langham Place 朗豪坊 is a business and commercial complex which opened in the fourth quarter of 2004 in Hong Kong, comprising a shopping mall, hotel and office tower. Located in the Mong Kok district of Kowloon, the complex occupies two entire blocks defined by Argyle Street, Portland Street, Shantung Street and Reclamation Street. Shanghai Street separates the hotel and office tower from the shopping mall.

Langham Place 朗豪坊

We went there not really for shopping, but just to look around, chill and hang out. Then later we found out at the infomation counter, that tourists get discount cards for free. Applicable throughout the year, and up to 20% discounts at participating outlets! Apart from that, we got Free Gift from Aveda too~ no, you dont have to buy anything from them, its just tourists' priviledges. Aint that good? ?

Do you know ? The building is used as main background for the TVB drama series: Under the Canopy of Love.

Another must visit place - China Hong Kong City, located at Tsim Sha Tsui, is one of Hong Kong’s most prominent and largest commercial complexes. Labels such as Calvin Klein Underwear,Cashmere Fashion,Himalaya Cashmere, Le Gala Boutique,Vittorio Giovane,Top Trend, G 2000, Fancy Jewelry & Co are available here. Just right out side the entrance there's an Esprit Outlet too! *Wonderful! *

Apart from fashion, there are loads of restaurants here as well- chinese, western, asian, gourmet express & cafes. We came here because we need to get the return tickets back to Macau. Ferry services from China Ferry Terminal (adjacent to China Hong Kong City) offer convenient and comfortable travel to neighboring cities including Macau and other areas in China, such as Zhuhai, Shekou, Zhongshan, Shunde and Panyu, Shunde and Panyu.

I took at picture of this building because it reminded me so much of Chung King Express. This was there place where Takeshi followed Brigitte Lin into and I WAS THERE! haha well, right across the street, that is ...

Chung King Express is a 1994 Hong Kong film written and directed by Wong Kar-wai. The film consists of two stories told in sequence, each about a Hong Kong cop and his relationship with a woman. The first story stars Takeshi Kaneshiro and Brigitte Lin and the second stars Tony Leung, Faye Wong and Valerie Chow.

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here ... check out the short clip below for Chung King Express

1st thing I got to the hotel, dump all bags aside, head straight out to Mongkok Area for food! Langham place was just opposite where I stay, so decided to go over to have a look after 3years since i last been to that place!

View from my hotel window.... lots of food stalls and mini busses stops down there at night

Langham Place ... lots of shops inside and tourists get discounts too! Only certain shops.

Look~ I found H & M here too!

Just right out side Langham place where I took pictures, there's this really nice stalls selling all kinds of finger food! Just look at the 'smelly toufu" there! hmmmmm ... nice

We can hardly find this here in Msia or Sgp now ...



On our way back, we just couldnt really decide where to eat, so we bought Unagi fried rice, smoke duck breast with potato salad, gyozas and mixed fruit salad ... all cost less than HKD50~

From 1 place 2another (Part I)

As some of y'all know i went to ^Mini Vegas recently, just a short trip to jalan-jalan, cari makan (^^,) well, i sort of capture some snaps from the start till i came back ... 一机在手,摄尽天下 LOL

here's what i found at LCCT, KL ...Yea ever so aware of ManUtd stuff hehe

cant really go in yet at that point of time and I was afraid the plane would take off soon. So with digital zoom in to the max, this is the best shot I can get *sorry folk, tried my best!*

the rest of the thing that happened on the plane to Macau ... I will write it out on another post cos its just way too long, too much to complaint about ... but heck, its budget airline so ... sod it!

Arriving at Macau International Airport ... kinda hazy innit?

just bored when I was in the cab ... self obsessed me was snapping shots of my tired face after the flight. Next thing u know the cab driver was asking me ...

"U not local?"

...erm, well, pretty obvious I'm not right? Ah, well... i was honest and answered no, but we sure didnt know if he cheated on the cab fare or not... * I doubt so he would...*

Here's the ferry ticket to HK~ Hollywood of Asia. Costing ^MOP155 , fair enough ... At that instant moment I thanked myself for not eating anything from the plane 'cos if not, I will be making ^'ABC' on board the ferry~ * yikes!!!!!*

while waiting to board the ferry ...

this is how nice & clean the ferry is ... no funny smell, no weird 'sightings' ... 10points for cleaniness! Well Done! ^First Ferry

Something interesting that I wanna share with all while i was checking out the menu on things they sell on the ferry. Take a closer look at the last second item "Garden SiSiSic Biscuit (cheese)" ... Doesnt that sounded like 'seasick"

好好的, 看了不晕也晕嘛 !


Mini Vegas : aka Macau
jalan-jalan, cari makan : A Malay term; meaning traveling abouts looking for food
一机在手,摄尽天下 : that's for me, I like to bring along my cam and snap almost everything i see

Padang Brown, Penang

I remember during my school days, me and classmates loved to walk over to Padang Brown for lunch if we are staying back after school or extra classes or any events. But even many years later, I still love going back to this place for food, esp char koay teow, lok lok and poh piah there!

As usual those are my standard orders, and as for now I will sharing photos of the items I mentioned (^^,) Trust me, its worth trying, esp the pohpiah. I am very picky of which stall of pohpiah i eat, but this one, never failed to make me smile and finish the whole plate all by myself! *woohooo yummiiieee*

As usual, u have to wait for a place to sit near the famous stalls

Early afternoon, not so crowded yet


Now, are u ready ? Here comes the picture of the food! ( quality isnt really that good cos I wasnt using my camera...it was my phone )

Famous Padang Yong Tau Foo

Char Koay Teow

Crab meat pohpiah



The very best of Padang Brown - Lok Lok

I cant help it but to order all the food I wanna eat every time I go there! I dont waste food, therefore I will only order that much of what I can eat or share...
