HK Trip: Giant Buddha Place & The Peak

So we went to this this famous Giant Buddha Place on Lantou Island, pretty close to Disney. We had to take a 20min cable car ride which was really long.. and we bumped into my dad's primary school best friend and his family.. and we all know what follows, "waoh your son's so big now.. blah blah"..

The whole thing/place was called Ngong Ping 360 experience or something like that.. Fascinating..

This was the Buddha statue after 5 mins of the cable car ride..

we closed in and it became bigger..

and bigger..

from the arrival cable car station..

from here, we had to walk another distance, and we ended up eating this beautiful bowl of beancurd 'flower'.. It's really nice, soft and tasty.. yum.. *slurps*

Base of the stupid long stairway..

After the stairway..

And finally after going through the illegal reverse exit way, i got this hot shot touching the statue :) it's only more amazing if you're there.. and i saw Anita Mui's tablet thing.. cool..

Through this trip, we went up The Peak 3 freaking times.. Not that i don't like that place, but the time could have been spend elsewhere.. This brings my number tally to 4 of going up to The Peak.. Let's see...

1. 2 years ago with the MI peeps
2. On the 3rd day of this trip, just to 'see see' for my family.. We had freaking Burger King again(for me) when we were there..
3. On the 4th day of this trip, part of the 'City Tour'.. Got to see the view in the day time..
4. And on the 5th day of the trip, to get to Mdm Tussauds, the Wax museum..

I'll probably go up there the next time again.. hahaha..

Ever mesmerizing..

Jan and Tommy, It wasn't really cold in HK except for one particular night where the wind pierced badly..

Got a new shaver, courtesy of Jan and Tommy.. They won some Basketball game and won some of these, gave my dad one too.. THANKS! :D

This was night 3's supper.. I love the Vitasoy range.. They should sell it in Singapore..

From Day 3 onwards, we moved to Kimberly Hotel, which pissed my mum off because of the apparent bad-first-impression she got from their service.. But that place was ok, it's just like any other typical hotel..

BTW, it's Dad's birthday 42nd today.. An old man now.. We got this cream puff mountain to replace a birthday cake.. Nice :) HAPPYBIRTHDAY :)
