Hong Kong Disneyland -- Magical Wonderland

I've never been a fan of Hong Kong. Been there twice before, but never left loving the place. It's polluted, and due to the fact that I can't speak Cantonese there, it's like bring a fish out of the pond. The only thing I can say I truly enjoy about HK is really the company I have there. It's the friends that make HK enjoyable. Shopping itself isn't much of an attraction to me. What they have there, we mostly have in Singapore too!


So when I was told by Ming that we we're going to Hong Kong Disneyland, I was quite apprehensive. Yea, I needed a break from work, but was it worth pain of flying there early morning on Friday? Was it worth sacrificing my last day of leave at work just to go down? Did I mention we had to be at the airport by 6AM???

Well, I am glad to say that it totally was.

Partially because I was over fatigued with work, perhaps I still wasnt excited on Thursday night itself. But on Friday morning, upon reaching Disneyland Hotel, that feeling of lethargy totally changed.

It's really in the small details, I guess. The 7 dwarves faces along the mirror in the bathroom, on the the tissue holder on the bed linen. It just takes you back to your childhood.. really.







However, me being my lazy self, the first thing I did was test out the bed... in our sizeable room with 2 double beds!!!!
But back to the good stuff, we soon met up for tea (yay!) and had the cutest desserts! Even the butter and ketchup had mickey mouse shapes! Plus the great people from Disney gave us a kaleidescope thingy, which you can see redmummy and cheesie checking out.


By the time we actually headed to Disneyland itself, it was 630PM. Warning to all that if you actually go in November period, being a jacket, the windchill itself brings the temp to as low as 10 deg celsius... brrrr... if ur jackets unless ur tired of living...



The 1st 2 rides we hopped on were the "teacup" ride as well as "it's a small world". I love he tea cup ride, because I thought it was the only time I could take revenge on Ming by swinging him in the cup so hard, he's get motion sickness. *muahahah* However, sadly, he was the one who ended up spinning me round and round that I felt giddy after the ride. So much so that I could't walk in a straight line...

haha. but I recovered quite fast though. I love the rise, I swear I could go on it a hundred times and still not get tired of it!



It's a small world was awesome too. We were brought through a water ride along a tunnel where there were miniature countries from all over the world. It was pretty amazing to see the different nationalities in their ethnic costumes. Unfortunately, no Singapore. Guess we're just one red dot.





We visited some very yummy disney shops within the compound and surprising to me, the gifts inside aren't that expensive. They were actually very affordable and Ming and I left with a whole bunch of goodies!

The thing I love most most most was the fireworks!!!! I'm a huge sucker for fireworks!!!! Plus they provided us free with these special sorta glasses that turns any light point into hearts and snowflakes once you look thru them. It's hard to describe, but they are the most amazing pair of magic glasses in the world. Imagine looking at everything in shapes of hearts... it's a lovely feeling!! Especially behind the backdrop of the majestically lighted castle.







The next morning, we went to "The Enchanted Gardens" for buffet breakfast. The selection was pretty amazing... dim sum, western, congee, pancakes, cornflakes, you name it they have it. Plus the highlight was getting to take pics with the disney chatracters! They were roaming around taking pics with the guests. Imagine, getting to hug a life sized Mickey Mouse!!



Then off to disneyland, we caught the winnie the pooh ride, space mountain, treetop hike, mickey's 4d theatre performance and a stitch theatre performance.


Some more pics of the girls having fun with pseudo character ears sold at the hotel shop!



Disneyland is really a dream come true. it brings out the kid in you, no matter how serious an adult you can be. You forget your worries, forget your troubles, and your problems just melt into oblivion. You get to be an absolute child again, just for that day.

Will post more pics of what we did... seems like we covered so much although I was there for less than 36 hrs!

Stay tuned!

I'm going to Hong Kong Disneyland!


Into the arms of unconditional acceptance -- into the arms of Mickey Mouse *oh how blasphemous*

The last time I visited Disneyland was in Florida, where I had the best time ever. I remember going during or close to fall, where the weather was pretty chilly already, but I guess everyone would weather a bit of cold to meet the cartoon characters of your childhood. It culminated in a night long firework display, just so damn freaking awesome. But that was quite some time ago...

I'll be heading for Hong Kong this time around this weekend, just for Disneyland. Yup, you heard me right, just for Disneyland. Will be going with Boss Ming, Boss Stewie, Audrey, Mike and Wendy.


The child in you needs a break ever so often, especially with the stress at work (don't get me started)...

Catch up with me here because I'll be poting updates during the trip.

XOXO eStee

10 GIRLS @ Pump Room with 1 Camera



Hi my lovelies, sorry I've been so busy with work, it's hard for me to blog as usual. HOWEVER, last weekend, me and the girls went out again *wooot*

Happy happy! We met for dinner at Liang Court, at this place called Tampopo. Thank God Weisan was smart enough to make us a booking, if not I tell you, confirm no place! That place was sooo uber crowded! We had black pig ramen. Don't ask me what it is, but in a nutshell, it's a pig that is literally black in colour. *OINK*. Some breed from China or something... yummmmy. It's more tender than normal pork.. due to the extra fat content. Call it like wagyu beef, but pork instead...




After dinner, we all headed to Pump Room to have drinks and do a bit of dancing (in the moonlight)... ALL 10 girls :)


I know I always say I do not drink, and it's true. I can get high on good music and good company!!! Really! :)



The thing is that in Pump room, we met this ang moh woman who was super peeved at us because the moment we came in, we plonked our asses on this huge "reserved" table. We told the waiter that we would leave once the guest came, and when she saw it, she was furious. She demanded for a "reserved" table as well. I guess he had to fend her too, but Cheryln's wonder flirt and wink allowed up to continue hogging the table *wooohoooo to pretty eyes*




On the dance floor, with live music, and us 10 girls jigging to the rhythm... plus with a camera, we were just all trigger happy...




*click* *dance* * click* *scream* *jigawig* *click* *click summore*



Oh yeah, later on the dance floor, the same ang moh woman purposely bumped into me to show her displeasure.. but seriously.. whatever la.

Good night darlings... ZZZZzzzz - crashing out now.

Loveya! XOXOXOX

Happy Sunday Y'ALL


I just came back from a parrtttaaayy at the PUMP room with 10 girls. I love hanging out with my gfs. HEARTS y'all! :)

Journey...


Love is a journey, not a destination.
Life is a path, not a finishing line.
Salvation is a decision, not an inheritance.
Friendship is an exchange, not an obligation...

When LOVE is gone...


What do you do when love is gone?
What do you do when the passion has died?
What do you do when you dread each day?
Is it time to move on?

Happy Hearts Day! *loves to all*
