The second day was all dedicated for Disneyland. Woke up at 6.30, some of us yang solat already tertinggal subuh because subuh here is very early like 5.18am...tula ,tak nak tanya aku!
Got out around 9ish, bought Disney's tickets at the hotel. The fee is $310 equivalent to RM140. To ease of the journey to our $$$..hehehe..we took train. We walked like 3 minutes to the nearest MTR station, Jordan Station and we bought tickets to Lai King Station where we transfered to another train going to Sunny Bay. From Sunny Bay we took the Disneyland train to the last stop which is? DISNEYLAND la...The Disneyland train was quite nice, it has windows with the shape of Mickey trademarks, the seat was comfy in the shape of U and each corner has disney characters statues.
The weather was really REALLY hot there, hmmm...no wonder most of Chinese here using umbrella and mind you the umbrella has all the beautiful kerawang(embroidery) and sequine, you know...just like our baju kurung..hehehe. The park opens at 10am, and if i were to go there again with my kids i think i'll be going in the late afternoon like 3-4 pm because in the morning there are a lot of people and we have to queue like 10 minutes to pass the ticket machines. There were also security check because no food allowed in the park, but from what i observed they quite lenient to non Chinese tourists. The security actually opened my big bag and there it was a big pringle and some chocolate but he's like okay...welcome to Disneyland!!!
Masuk aje, terus le bergambar. Posing here and there. Then masuk kedai at the Main Street, by the time masuk Park ..everybody dah letih dengan panasnyer lagi. The first park that we entered was adventureland where we watched the lion king show. The songs in the musical show was performed mostly by the african (probably african american) and the dancers mostly, i think based on their look are hawaiian. Handsome2 belake and body mengancam...hehehe. Nevertheless there are some Chinese elements embedded in the show.
Then after that we went to Fantasyland where we watched the Mickey Mouse 3D show and take a boat ride in the Smallworld. Actually all the souvenir shops in the theme park sells the same merchandise like key chain, bracelet, tshirt, watch, stationery etc but we ended up going into each and every stores in the park that selling the same merchandise! How lunatic was that? I bought myself nothing from the store but bought hubby and naim disneyland tshirts. Got maryam and sarah a bracelet, ring & earring set and tshirt. Also some other souvenirs for close family.
Once in a while,there was a parade in the street where all the disney characters like mr incredible family, stitch, mickey, donald, toy story characters etc waving at us. The last park was tomorrowland but by then everybody has already very tired and muka already cam tempoyak.
We took train back to the hotel at 5pm. Back at the hotel, solat and had tea. Around 7pm took a cab to Chungkin Mansion which was like 5 minutes from our hotel. Chungkin Mansion is a building where there are many Muslim halal restaurants can be found. As Fas's dearly beloved recommended one, we just went straight to it which is located on the ground floor. The name is Shalimar Restaurant. It is a quite small and cosy air conditioned restaurant. It served all kinds of beriyani, roti and other northern indian cuisine. We ordered 2 chicken beriyani, 1 chicken tandoori, 2 naan bread and fish curry. OMG!!! It was the best beriyani ever! and the fish curry was excellent! I thought Insaf Beriyani back home was nice and being me who didn't really enjoy Indian/Pakistani cuisine, well it was worth it!Yum!Yum! While we were finishing up the food, a familiar face suddenly appeared outside the windows...sebok je dearly beloved Fas ni! hehehe...
After makan valued at a good $190, took a stroll at Parklane Boulevard, bought a handbag for myself and a purse for souvenir. We finally rest for the day at 11pm at the hotel.
mano gamba eh????
