Our sense of sight is something that we often take for granted. We are so accustomed to using our eyes to describe colors and shapes, to navigate, to observe our surroundings, and more. We are so used to seeing things and people every day that we can’t imagine what it would be like and how …
Sometimes, I get weird dreams. Like this one time I woke up from my slumber and groggily told Mike “I had a dream. It was about Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang. I saw Charlie Brown… and Woodstock…” In my dream, they weren’t even doing anything. And prior to having that dream, I haven’t even seen, …
If you read about our night trip to the Goldfish Market, then you probably already know that my fiance Mike and our friend Eric are fish fanatics. Therefore, a visit to Ocean Park — a marine mammal park, oceanarium, and amusement park in Hong Kong — was a must in our itinerary. Ocean Park is one of …
Walking around Mong Kok requires a lot of energy. As one of the busiest streets in Hong Kong and the world, there is so much activity, that it’s impossible to just stay still. After our side trip to Tung Choi street in Mong Kok where Mike, Paula, Eric, and I checked out the Goldfish Market and …
After a full day of fun at Disney (read this and this), Mike, Eric, Paula, and I got a little tired… but not too tired for fish and shopping! That’s a weird combination, but not in a place in Mong Kok called Tung Choi Street, which is home to the Goldfish Market and the Ladies’ …
No matter how old you get, you should never stop being a child. I don’t mean be child-ish. I mean be child-like. Play. Explore. Wander. Wonder. What better place to do that than in “the happiest place on earth”?! I’m talking about none other than… Disneyland, of course! Because we took so much fun photos …
While Day 1 of our Hong Kong trip was spent just casually chilling out in our hotel, having Chinese food for dinner, and walking around 1881 Heritage and the Avenue of Stars, Day 2 was allotted for “meatier” activities. First thing in our itinerary was a trip to the breathtaking Lantau Island, Hong Kong’s largest island. …
“I want to see the Bruce Lee statue!” That was one of the ultimate goals of Mike and Eric for our Hong Kong trip last year. So after stopping by 1881 Heritage, we headed straight to the Avenue of Stars so the boys can pay homage to the Hong Kong martial artist extraordinaire… or his 2.5-meter …
After having dinner at Golden Lake Restaurant and walking around Ashley Road, I took Mike, Eric, Paula, and my former workmates Tin and Mina to Canton Road, one of the most posh roads in Tsim Sha Tsui lined with luxury brand shops so we can spend hundreds of dollars and shop ’til we drop. Err, sure. …
Golden Lake Restaurant was the first restaurant that Mike, Paula, Eric, and I ate at when we arrived at Hong Kong. Paula said she and her family have dined there before, and the food was cheap and good, which is always a winning combination! It’s no Tim Ho Wan, where you’ll see a long line of customers …
