HK Trip Day 1 - 12 July 2009



The flight that morning was at 9:15am, already checked all of us in prior that night via MAS online check in, printed boarding passes. Hubby sent me to airport at 6:45am, reached KLIA 7.20am. Went straight to check in baggage, Gee was already there, then a few minutes later Hanum, Aiza and Fas was the last to arrive. Boarding the gate 8.45am, alahai kapal terbang kecik & lama la...Everybody were so excited & full of energy. Reached HK airport 1.10pm, took airport express to Kowloon Station, the fee was $310 for 5 people. The airport train was quite nice. From Kowloon Station we took a cab to the Novotel Hotel in Nathan Road....5 people in one cab plus 5 luggages...hmmm...imagine!,but the cab is quite big macam cab malaysia zaman dulu2 yang volvo or mercedes tu.

Sampai hotel, check in...thank god they responded to my request to have connecting rooms. Our room was a corner lot, quite nice with modern design but a bit sempit for 3 people (me, aiza & fas)...hanum & gee shared another room. First thing first makan, masing2 had a maggi in a cup each & tea before going to Harbour City around 4pm. Took a cab from the hotel, got a nice cab driver who can speak a little and understandable english. He actually snapped our photo in the cab masa berhenti kat simpang, siap bas kat belakang tu honking sebab tak jalan2 lagi dok sibuk amik gambar we all..

Sampai Harbour City, ronda ronda all the boutiques. Harbour City is like Gardens Midvalley where designer products are available, some brands are not available back home. Seems that most of the boutiques are having sale, singgah nine west, got myself a pair of circa joan & david shoes 40% off. aiza bought a 50% off anne klein bag, nice color. Then masuk fcuk, ralph lauren, mulberry...not worth buying. Masuk one kedai dunno the name, tak jumpa kat msia...berkenan a pair of sunglasses...cantik GILER!!!...brand? Tom Ford....price? $3900!!!...mahainyer! tapi cantiknyer!!!oh well, byebye!

Then habis ronda setengah harbour city, got out and went to H&M across the street. Bought myself a tunic & a tshirt for sarah. Around 7+, took a cab & went to Mongkok. Mongkok is a place where we can get souvenir and good imitation branded products. It was a place that I really do not want to go sebab kat msia pun aku takkan pegi places like jln TAR or petaling street kalau tak perlu. But the stuff here is really cheap & really like real one. Stuff like branded watches, branded handbags like gucci, LV, coach...sebijik macam original. But you have to really2 bargain sampai dapat 1/4 of the price. Bought myself a bvlgari watch at $250...dalam RM100. Got some HK TShirts & cermin for souvenir. Got myself tiffany &co and chanel charmbracelets for $40 each. By halfway of the market, started feeling very tired...budak2 ni tak ghupe nak balik lagi ni...

We finally reached the end of the market around 10pm and headed back to the hotel. End of Day One.
