Hong Kong Day 3 - Ngong Ping 360, Citygate Outlet, Tim Ho Wan, Symphony of Lights, Argyle Centre
Hello again pretty people! How's life? I've been pretty occupied lately and i'm so happy for that. I just had my thesis consultation yesterday so i guess i have to (finally) start tonight hahaha. Something crazy happened last night!! You might have seen me changing hair color continuously over these past few months, thanks to this awesome hairstylist. She just asked me if i want to go to Japan on October to be her model and of course i would love to! I can't stop questioning why people keep 'using' me as their model because i'm truly aware that i'm not a model material like i'm not ten feet tall and weighed cotton. If you know what i mean hahaha. But as i much as i wanted to go to Japan, I can't confirm to her now because i have something coming up that i'm still not certain of. I just need to keep believing that the best is yet to come *fingercrossed*
Moving on to my Hong Kong trip, on the third day we went to Ngong Ping 360 (Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery) , my most favorite place during this trip! From Tsim Sha Tsui we took MTR to Tung Chung that will stop at Citygate Outlet. You can use cable car or bus to reach Ngong Ping 360, just follow the signs to the terminal if you want to get a bus (no.23) which is much cheaper and it's just about an hour ride. At that time the cable car was under maintenance so we took a bus going up there. The bus ride was insane! My friend immediately threw up when we arrived at Ngong Ping Village hahaha. There's nothing much to tell since i just explore around and enjoying the view and having some peaceful moment hahaha so i guess some photos will do,yeah?

Afterwards, we went shopping at Citygate Outlet. As i mentioned before there's not much to shop there because they're not like crazy cheap. However the sporting goods like Nike, Adidas, New Balance got some decent things. Giordano and Esprit are not so bad as well. I can't listed them down because it's more to personal preferences but please don't miss On Pedder Outlet!
From Tung Chung we took MTR to Central, IFC Mall to try the famous Tim Ho Wan (now open at PIK) ! The queue was not very long unlike the night before when i went there and they're already close at 8 PM so i just had the famous pork bun for takeaway. We had difficulties to find the place because the mall is huge! So easiest way to get there is find the airport express, Tim Ho Wan is just a level or two below. I must say that it is kind of overrated? Well, i decided not to say anything because this is just how i am. I always think that everything is just okay like i have no excitements for anything hahaha all i can say is the Lo Mai Gai portion is very generous as well as the siew mai. Pork bun less in fillings. Chi Chong Fan slightly drier to my liking.
After dinner we went back to Tsim Sha Tsui to catch the Symphony of Lights but we were early so i went around to grab Hui Lau Shan, other must try at Hong Kong. Again and again i was disappointed haaahh i could barely taste the mango and price is crazy expensive!
Symphony of Lights was also a disappointment. Well, i thought it would be like Song of the Sea but turned out it's just a led show on a big screen? But still it's nice to just sit and enjoy the night view of Hong Kong.
Since i haven't bought anything for myself, i decided to go to Argyle Centre. To get there take MTR to Mongkok exit D2, Argyle Centre is just on your left. Argyle Centre is like Bugis Street in Singapore. They sell teenage clothings, shoes, etc. I've always wanted to get a knee-high boot ever since i arrived but i ended didn't buy any although they're so cheap hahaha. It's for 4 PM now, i haven't shower and starving haha so i guess it's the end of the post. Ciaobella!
