Day 4, 05 Dec 09I really love the breakfast this morning. It was a typical HK style restaurant located at a corner of Nathan Road, about 10 minutes walk from our hotel. The pics below tell everything:
Best Teh-Si & Yin-Yong ever!!!
Polo-Bun, Sandwich & Egg
Ham Macaroni & Chu-Zai Pao (Piggy bun)
A satisfying breakfast was indeed a great move of the day. From
Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, we headed to
Admiralty. Then, took the double decker bus No. 629 to
Ocean Park. The entrance ticket could be bought at the booth there, very convenient and hassle free.
Upon the arrival at Ocean Park, I think WC was the most excited one. I didnt have a wavy feeling as this was my 2nd visit. The 1st visit in 2007 was not a memorable one, as we didnt have enough time for everything, and it was raining cats and dogs! So I just hope that I could have a complete visit this time.
We took the escalator, known
Tai Shue Wan Escalator, a really long one, all the way up to the top. First activity of the day was the
Mine Train. I screamed my lungs out, though it was not really a thrilling one. Just a way of releasing myself!

Spectacular View of HK from Ocean Park. The shade in the pic was part of the escalator.
After seeing the seals at
Pacific Pier, we proceeded to
Ocean Theater for Dolphin's Show. My
first visit was really a nightmare when we were watching this show, as it was raining, and too crowded. Since we were sitting at the side and there was no shade, basically I was holding the umbrella for the entire show. The show as scheduled was delayed due to heavy downpour. We wasted more than 2 hours just to watch this show.
But this time was a perfect one! :)

After the show, we went to the aquarium -
Atoll Reef.
Lovely Nemos
A super-thick lips fish to simulate HY's sexy lips... Hahaha.... 
Giant Turtle
Next activities were
Ferris Wheel &
The Abyss. The Abyss was turbo drop, the routine game that I would go up, alone as usual. No one would ever accompany me for this. But I simply love it, so I won't miss it in any theme park. After we got all these done, we had our lunch bite - some sandwiches, buns and ice-cream. Before heading to the cable car station, we went to Sea Jelly Spectacular.

Nice View from the cable car
Needless to say, the first spot we visited was the
Panda Habitat, as WC couldn't wait to see the so-called kawaii pandas!
Xmas Deco
Panda, I don't think that it is even close to "cute" at all~~
It was peeing & shitting to the wall.... What a good manner!
Next was "
Amazing Asian Animals". Quite a number of animals there, but too bad I couldn't remember their names. WC and mum also went to see the gold fish, but I was too tired to walk, so I sat on the bench and waited for them. We left Ocean Park at about 4pm after eating the siu mai.
Cat? Fox?
Stone Fish
Everyone was rushing out to get the bus
It was about 5pm when we reached
Pacific Fair, so we took a sneak preview inside. At about 6pm, we went back to Tsim Sha Tsui to watch the fireworks at
Victoria Harbour, as today was the
Opening Ceremony of East Asean Games. Sounds excited? More story to go..... When we were at Tsim Sha Tsui, the crowd was really frightening. Without knowing what to eat, we ended up in
Mc Donalds.
It's all PORKS!
We planned to walk across to Victoria Harbour after the dinner. But too bad, the road was already blocked. The only way was to use the underground subway, and follow the police's instruction in order to cross over. Afraid that we would be starving, we bought a giant bun from a bakery while we were inside the subway, full of human inside too. The most horrible part was to walk up the escalator, as u need to squeeze through the crowd in order to step your feet onto the escalator platform. In the end, we succeeded. However, we could not move any closer to Victoria Harbour as it was already full. So we waited outside the
Hong Kong Museum of Art, just 500m away from
Avenue of Star.
Quiet Salisbury Road... It was blocked!
Just look at those humans
We waited from 8pm until 9.30pm....... Freezing to cold, and I almost buried by head into my Gucci Bag... But it was worth waiting, as the fireworks were really amazing!! And we could rarely get this opportunity to witness such an event.
Firework... here it comes!
Happy Ending, and the crowds were cheering
After the fireworks, we waited for another 20 minutes in order to move back. Again, just listen to the police's instruction and u could reach your destination. Very systematic and organised.
Our supper - HK roasted Chicken + Cha Siew, Yakult Drink & the Giant Bun bought at the subway.
