Hong Kong Day 1

Our plan for the first day was to explore Kowloon on foot!! Ambitious.. Especially with a 4 months old baby on board huhu..


The first destination was Avenue of Star along the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade. Dalam 15 min je dari hotel penginapan kami. You can find Hong Kong star's handprints, plaques, sculptures here. Among the stars are Bruce Lee, Michelle Yeoh, Stephen Chow and Aaron Kwok. Tak jumpa pulak Ekin Cheng handprint or plaques :( My all time fave HK hero!! You could also enjoy the paranomic views of the harbour and Hong Kong famous skyline!
Aqilah muka bosan sebab tak kenal artis2 HK ni!


Trying to be a director and cinematographer at the same time!
Next we walked to the clock tower (one of the oldest landmark in Hong Kong) that was just a few minutes away.. Tak sure pulak kenapa clock tower ni jadi tourist attraction.. takkan sebab it was one of the oldest and has witness many historical event..?? Kebetulan pulak masa kami sampai ada event for Youth Band Marathon. Sempat la layan kejap, tengok budak-budak menari. 
Love the colorful shoes!! Everywhere I go, I see people wearing them!! Too bad I don't wear sports shoe except for working out.. sigh~

Dah penat berjalan, kami singgah di Harbour City. For those yang ada baby, haruslah rambang mata kat sini. On the ground floor, you can find all those high end brand for babies. Burberry, Dior.. you name it!! Aku yang takde anak ni pun cam nak giler tengok kasut baby Dior cantik bangat! Sebab perut sudah berkeroncong and Na pegi mengepam, aku ajak Maliki masuk KFC.. hohoho selamba?? I don't eat the chicken obviously but since they do not serve pork, we bought marsh potatoes and fries.. Chili dia import from Malaysia jugak hahahah!
From top: Aqilah minta designer label jacket, merajuk cause mummy said "NO"
Bottom, from left: Aqilah staring at all those toys in Toys R Us, terliur tengok hotwheels!

Next stop was Kowloon Park. We didn't actually explore the whole park. In fact, cik abangku yang tersenyum riang in below picture just sat at the entrance waiting for me to snap a few pictures before heading to Kowloon Mosque! There were hundreds of Indonesian hanging out near and inside the mosque. Rupanya diaorang ni jual makanan dekat pathway in between the park and mosque. Dalam masjid tu pun diaorang ada berjual beli on the ground floor. Pening aku tengok orang ramai-ramai. Pastu semua dok stare semacam, maybe sebab aku tak bertudung kot. Yang menariknye, dorang ni berkumpul siap berzanji bagai. Sangat menarik cause we don't usually see this here in Malaysia. Cuma sedikit menganggu, susah giler aku nak focus sebab aku cam nak join dorang berzanji sekali.. huhuhu


Lepas solat, we were approached by a guy offering us halal food. Since everyone was hungry we just follow the guy. The place is quite scary I tell you!! The restaurant is inside an old building on the 2nd floor. It was a rented house turned into a private restaurant and it was locked from the inside. Macam rumah urut haram yang aku tengok dalam 999 jek!
We have to carry Aqilah's stroller up and down the stairs as some of the station do not have any escalator or lift!! pffttt~~!! Satu lagi, you won't find any ladies or gents in the MTR station!! Tension gua~

With a full stomach, we head to Ladies Market in Mongkok. Rambang mata. You can find almost everything here from handbags to clothes, shoes, lingerie and other household item! Just remember to bargain cause they normally put a really high price tag! Since nanti nak datang lagi with cik Metot, kami tak stay lama pun kat sini. Tambah pulak si Maliki plan nak pegi Temple Street Market pulak. Katanya from previous experience, they have lots of painting there. Woweeee!!!

Lebih kurang pukul 10pm, kami gerak ke hotel. Since Temple Street Market is just one stop away from the hotel, we decided to walk home. Fuh.. with full bladder and throbbing feet, aku gagahkan jugak. On the way tu, banyak giler kedai Bonjour! Curious jugak, walaupun dah separuh mati kami singgah jugak dengan alasan nak beli sabun.. kikiki Rupa-rupanye dia cam Sasa jugak selling parfum and cosmetic items. 

Sampai jek hotel, terus mandi manda, solat dan masak maggi!! fuh sedap~~
