Day 2 in Hong Kong (Part 5)

Tung Chung.
Here you have most of the branded outlets in Hong Kong. My son told me that his friend informed him that they have the whole year sales. Our first destination on out itinerary was to visit this shopping mall. During my last studies trip of my company, my friends  and I accidentally step into this mall and he bought lot of clothing and bags  for his family.
The only shop that we bought some clothing was from Esprit and we did not buy anything from the rest of the outlets for they are far above our budget.  Well, we are on a bag packed trip and we only bought needed.


North Court

We took Tong Sui in this shop.

The Bucket List

I just completed watching this movie and love the song,"Say" sang by John Mayer. The words , ""Say what you need to say"" keep on going through my mind for a specific reason.
Many years back when I was back in Penang, I recalled what my Dad asked my mum when she fell sick.These were the words spoken beside her bed:
What worries do you still have in your mind. There are nothing for you to worry but to let go off all the things in this world. We were born and evenly have to go from here.
Well, after that he started to go through the list ( from his mind) that was everyone in the family, starting from the eldest daugther down to me, the youngest and with these final words, They have all grown up and can take good care of themselves.

When mum passed away, I remembered my eldest sister calling me over to where mum was placed to witness the SMILING FACE OF MUM.

Can we plan our Bucket List now? Well, why not so that we do not regret later on. Maybe it is too young for me to think of it but then I really do think of this when I cannot sleep in the night!!!!

First in my Buckist List , Cherish the happy moments with your loved one,friends and all those that go through your life.

Where are we when in Hong Kong

Day One in Hong Kong


Hong Kong's MTR


Area around Dorsett Seaview Hotel
Note: very convenient staying in this Hotel

Octopus ticket/Tung Chung
After leaving our luggage, and a quick bath we traveled to

a place called Tung Chung. According to my son this place has the most shopping outlets in Hong Kong and the summer could be on. After going through the outlets he only bought some T shirts from Esprit and we left.

The journey took us approximately 2 hours from my friend apartment in Shenzhen to the hotel ,Dorsett Seaview. When we reached The Jordan station, we purchased the MTR's octopus ticket as recommended by my son.




Papaya paying at the counter. Got some T shirts for himself and his mum at Tung Chung

Mongkok
On the way back we dropped by the Ladies Market in Mongkok and started our window shopping and took our first dinner, Wan Ton noodle, as recommended by bakery girl. Well, very tasty and the price is not expensive. We cam
e back here the next day and found that there were many food stalls along Soy Street. Lucky to find the latest Playstation 3 game, Star war ( the unleashed) for Papaya's brother and reached our hotel around 9.00pm.Slight drizzling and Papaya decided not to go out . As for me, I went out into the night Temple street night market beside the hotel and get myself orientated of where I was during my last company trip and at the same time looked around for food stall so that we can take our breakfast the following morning.


Day 2
Tsim Sha Tsui

Took our breakfast at a local food stall "Let Eat Together". Papaya took only rice porridge due his diarrhea and as for me the Noodle soup.
We went back to hotel to remove our bowel and left for Avenue of Stars and Harbour city shopping complex which was located along the Walk. The things here are very expensive . We left and went over to Central
Station, located in the MTR, Island Line in Hong Kong Island.
