    Awaiting for our flight~

    August 7, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Also, this was the first time for me taking public transport to the airport, cos usually it's a pretty mad rush that I gotta cab down. Definitely something I'd do again cos the cost savings 🤑

  • Wandering with snacks

    August 8, 2024 in Hong Kong ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Finally got to try Mixue ice cream, even though we have it locally too. And damn, that melted hella quick.

    But got to see such a lovely sunset moment 😍

  • Temple Street Night Market

    August 8, 2024 in Hong Kong ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Oysters were SOOO good 🤤 hungry again thinking about it. The owner was really nice too, offering us seats indoors and even giving some snack to try 😋

    And such a lovely talented man who was writing on rice! Had a really funny friend who was sharing stories about teaching people foreign language, but actually just teaching them to say "fuck you" 😂Read more

  • Victoria Harbour

    August 8, 2024 in Hong Kong ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Ended up being a chill night back and watching Umbrella Academy's series finale.

    Got to take the ferry back home too! Can't believe it's been 15 years

    Oh ho, this was a struggle at first. The owners didn't speak English, and I had to speak a little Cantonese and they were pretty impressed. Ended up making convos in a mix of canto and mandarin. But this made me realize that knowing other languages/dialects, at least key phrases, is really so darn helpful in a foreign land! Glad it paid off 🤭

    Shout-out to the amazing chilli too, that we had to bring some back home 😋

    We made it to Lantau Island - very convenient tbh! Didn't even have to take a ferry like we thought.

    Pretty beautiful place - the Po Lin Monastery, Tian Tan Buddha (though we didn't climb up).

    Sadly we also missed the Wisdom Path and Tai O Village, but we had some really good food (next post)!

    Signature daiquiri - strawberry (and made with real fruits too!), and the glass is coated with cocoa powder

  • 多谢,再见👋🏻

    Made it for the first MTR for Airport Express! Honestly the whole HK trip was very convenient with public transport.

    Mad hassle though cos there were problems with my friend's boarding pass, and just running all around to purchase the last minute snacks and breakfast before take off. Making it just in time!

    But honestly, I think this experience also made me realize, I'm ready to do this.
