Mad Exhausting Rush

We started the day really early hoping to get to many shopping malls in HK possible...but who knew...it was mission impossible! WE woke up at 5am, packed and left shenzhen hotel at 630pm, reached Luohu at 7am, crossed the customs, took the MRT to Tsim Sha Tsui about 8am, and finally bought our airport shuttle tickets and checked in our luggage.

The free airport shuttle brought as to one of the many places where we can check in our luggage before getting to the airport. So after checking in our luggage, we took the shuttle to the city and was pending on early brunch since all malls in HK will only open at 11am.

And we reached Superstar restaurant at 930am. Ate there, waited quite long without realising that the stupid waiter forgot to jot down our century egg porridge and my favourite LaoSaiBao!!!





the omelette glutinous sticky rice was a first for the both of us. Surprisingly it's quite yummy, though abit oily. of cos it's oily, it's fried. Duh. Blanched cai sim was a joy, we both thought they must have soaked the greens in sugar water! how can veggies be so sweet?

cheong fun with char siew was really good!!! and finally to prove it's a fave among hongkies, look at their wall of fame!!! with Chow Yun Fatt in it!



rite, we are desperately trying to keep ourselves awake by taking random photos here....i swear wj's eyes were near closing. we haven been sleeping much the past week actually...and was really glad to go home.


And we left the restaurant at 1030am, to catch a MRT to Mongkok.

Finally we made our way to Langham place.Puffing with our laptops and hand carrier.


actually, we thought we could have 'caught' up with all the up-coming malls in hongkong, but we realised that with our laptops and hand carrier, it was almost impossible to walk down 2 streets without panting. Plus, there's not many zebra crossing in HK, many are subway tunnels to get across the street, so all those climbing up and down the stairs nearly 'killed' us.

when we saw starbucks at the mid-levels, boy were we happy and relief!AND guess what we ordered? the BIGGEST cup of coffee!

so here we are taking a break, before snapping more photos of the place..



while sitting we can share and take pictures too!

meanwhile, we also managed to take time to take pictures with the xmas tin soldiers.




we are now on the xpresscalators! woohoo!



woohoo, finally going to reach the end of the escalator...wondering when it was going to end!!! it's almost 3 storeys long!

finally, after coming down the mall, we are again at our next rest-top! Hui Lau Shan which is a dessert stall that is very famous for their mango desserts!


Exterior walls of Langham place...and our last shopping mall stop, yes we are only gg to cover 2 malls from 12nn - 4pm. ELEMENTS!



we are at the interchange platform level, coming out from the MRT. And next, the nearest zone is the "wood" zone!!! it isn't called Elements for nothing....after the wood zone, we are going to the water zone and the fire zone...we are going to give the metal zone a miss cos we have not enough time, got to head to the airport soon...



all the shops have a 'woody' facade! and even the internal street furniture!



skylight! to bring natural daylight in!!!...and we are finally in the water zone.


beautiful sculptures along the shopping street...and hiao hiao ah ren wants to pose with it!



ice-skating rink in the mall....and triangulated ceiling lights...and beautiful walk-in toilets!

and we are off to the airport.
