finished our so called LUNCH...den continued wif shopping...LOL...! da next target was 朗豪坊, been told by the local, this is the largest shopping centre in HoNGKONG...~ u may find many leading international brands that have specialty shops here sell the very latest fashions and leather good...plus there r hongkong designers who have become internationally famous for their trendy styles, top quality and competitive prices, like esprit! airen bought pairs of esprit jeans, which we found it's actually cheaper around rm70+ in malaysia! while, i also bought many thgs here...ouchh! going 2 be BROKE!! wan 2 sponsor?

after the meal, then we moved to the avenue of star, which along the tsim sha tsui promenade pays tribute 2 the stars of the silver screen and da ppl who make the megic happen....there are plaques, handprints of stars, sculptures and not 4get the most famous panoramic views of the harbour and hongkong island skyline....
i will be da stars? hehe~~
handprint of dunno who ;p
the hong kong city
the magnifient view
wi planned 2 juz snap photo and stay a while then rush to GuangZhou...however, heard tat der is sumthg like musical show @ 8pm, so we wait...8pm sharp, there was a spectacular multimedia event, named the world's largest permanent light and sound show by Guiness world records, cover more than 30 buildings on both sides of victoria harbour...very cool!!! dey are decked out in lights, which at the flick of a switch, glow in a myriad of colours depicting hk's vibracy... it's somethg so striking, is like a magical light show! but, too bad, we didnt took down any video~~ may b u should experience the symphony of light urself?
so da next was....hehe~~ rushed 2 our next destination! we have 2 "chased" 4 laz train from 红墈 2 GuangZHou...else we hav 2 SLEEP on da road 2nite...wakakakak!! we ran like crazee...esp da 3 guys tat carring numbers of luggages wif them...ran all da way...checkin checkout custom!! wahahaha!! not 4getting our beloved chua, keep on dropping sumthg when he ran, his racquet, passport, bag...!! LOL...it was damn funny enjoying the show by them...haha...wat i did is juz RAN, WATCH and LAUGH!! coz i jus carry a sling bag wif mi...LOL...~~
took da train and den transit sumwhere in 深圳...took around 1 hr to reach GuangZHou 火车东站...all of us were so tired as we shopped 4 da whole day NON STOP...all slept soundly...LOL...btw the train fare coz RMB70 per person, so around rm35 per person...
errm...i guess i 4got 2 say sumthg, the currencies for macau, hongkong n GuangZhou are different, yet they can be widely use, we changed 2 types of currencies, so in macau, wi have 2 user RMB n HK$, but da ppl will return the change 2 us in macau pataca (MOP)...anyhow, juz 4 safe, better change 3 types of currencies, in case they dun accept other currency, like small businesses, food stalls...
tired and waiting 4 da train to GZ
reached GZ around 12am...thus, NOW we have stepped onto an ancient, promising and cultured country, namely China!!! once u stepped in china, u can instantly notice da difference...da attitude of ppl, da way dey dress up, da way dey all, the hygiene...bla bla bla...absolutely poles apart...!
we hav 2 walk long long way(may b not very² long, juz tat i was too exhausted) 2 reach oric's condo, his company provided him a unit in condo, high class 1...next 2 Ikea only! wow! i can only watch, i feel inferior(LOL, u guys understand wat i mean!!) ....it was killing as my foot was sooooooo painful...i couldnt continue da journey...but, luckily...our beloved chua lent mi his slippers...LOL...den i'd juz able to continue da journey~~
so...settle down our stuff den we went out 4 supper...TOO HUNGRY!! went 2 have a try on 新疆菜...once again! i feel like heaven! da food were absolutely GREAT!! i doubt i can find these in malaysia!! my goodness!!
china's product, the beer...dey LOVE it, while i DISLIKES @ all...
ouch! this is sumthg i love so much! once u try u will nv 4get abt da taste n smell...!! guess wat, it's actually sumthg like satay, BUT...LAMB SATAY! i rarely take lamb, except this! coz dey dun hav those bad small of lamb, it's marinated and bbq-ed...arrhh!! i should tarpao back some!! LOL
sumthg like spaghetti, but wif lamb, more salty then pasta sauce, and the noodles are homemake! another favourite of mine!
it's stated as "salad" in da menu, anyway, it didnt taste tat way...taste a bit salty, spicy(probably wif chilli oil), vineger...n may b other seasoning ingredient...
lamb again...we all LOVE it!! a very unique taste tat healed our soul~~~
