New Hong Kong Photos from Choon Ta ..

Hong Kong Disneyland outside Sleeping Beauty's castle , taken by a Chinese tourist whom thankfully semed to be the only one who wasn't interested in stealing our camera ( paranoid delusions haha )



Me laughing at one of the many candid shots I took during the trip


I always loved using the timer function on my camera, but I always never brought my tripod along. So ledges , rubbish bins or any tall elevated structure with a flat top will do fine as a tripod. Here I am in Disneyland trying to get a picture of Lilleen and CT flirting in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle.


Lilleen sinking her jaws into a spicy meat pancake for which we spent half an hour queueing up for in Lao Jie in downtown Shenzhen. It was here that we also met a nasty Chinese man who just blatantly cut queue after she refused his request ( more like demand ) to buy a pancake with her. That's mainland Chinese for you ...



Colourful Lao Jie in Shenzhen , but all the shops practically sell very drab stuff that isn't really in sync with any of our local fashion trends. Definitely just worth a walk, but not worth buying any thing. The food here is pretty good .. i loved the octopus threaded on stick , and the ultra-cheap bubble pearl milk tea at just 50 cents each ( salmonella sold separately ) !!




Us at a group shot at the Peak. The Peak was freezing that night .. this shot was taken by placing CT's camera on a ledge , and me running all the way to the pavillion to join CT and Lil for the group shot. A lot of nice Korean and British tourists tried to help us , but we refused .. I am the diva when it comes to taking night shots, remember ?



A wonderful shot of Hong Kong from the Peak on the first day of our trip ......



Lilleen trying to get out of her skin in the avenue of stars in Tsim Sha Tsui ...




Letting my photos undergo a mandatory Customs check ..


Lilleen moaning like Mariah Carey that she did not want too many pictures of her taken in the Matyrs' Memorial Park in Guangzhou. Of course her moans went unheard by our in-house candid photographer cum dieting queen Choon Ta.


Me and Choonie at the same place where Lilleen was previously moaning. A very tranquil lake in the heart of the city , with ducks and local Chinese people doing some form of tai chi. What I noticed was that they did their tai-chi moves within a yellow circle on the ground drawn by chalk. Not sure what that meant...




Us at the expensive dessert-cum-eatery at Canton Road where we paid like 150 Sing Dollars in a total for a dinner that left me with acute pancreatitis after that.



Me wishing everyone in the hotel a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year on the last night of our trip at the City Garden Hotel , Hong Kong ...
