HK last day

right, i better quickly faster pen down my HK last day otherwise i'll be forgetting it already. that's how forgetful i m now.

on the morning before we check out, took MTR to Wong Tai Sin temple. it's a temple that most tourists must visit. so manage to find the place. but didn't really pray there, cos i find it too complicated and maybe it's in the middle of housing estates. plus there were many China tourists that morning and you know what! they dunno how to hold their joss sticks in a proper way! almost burnt me, i was like cursing and swearing at them. don't get the peace i get from the buddha i visited the day before.

then we took MTR back, thought we'll just stop by the Women Street. but when we came out from the station, all the stalls were just setting up, nothing to shop and buy.

so in the end, we went back to the hotel. quickly showered and check out, late 30 mins in checking out.

our transport will come and pick us up to the airport at 5. so we have about 5 hours of shopping to do. went shopping. been into a few shops. some of the clothes are cheap as they are clearing off their summer clothings in preparation for displaying autumn clothings. so bought clothes for the family like it was for free like that. wait my credit card bills come, i'll know how much i spend. at least signed S$200 to the card.

one thing i find out about the service in HK is that they have certainly improved a lot already. i used to hear pple say that HK people, service very bad, if u dun buy, they very rude to u. but this is totally different fm wat pple describe to me. once we stepped into the shop, they will welcome u. take the clothings for u, after fitting out, u just hang the clothings there, if u intend to buy it, they will get a new one from the shelf. then when we were at bossini, wanted a bermudas on the manequinn, couldn't find it on the shelf, asked a salesgirl, she actually communicated to her colleagues thru the communication device and have the bermudas sent right up to us. we dun even have to search for it nor go to the salesgal, we just stood there, waited for the thing to be sent to us, and the shop isn't even big.

also their service was really superb. they dun care about gender and age. we stepped into a VCD shop selling VCD, was browsing ard the shop (there are many people in the shop as well). the sales people are friendly, willing to help u find any VCD titles. for us, we just politely said that we just want to look ard. couldn't buy any of the VCD, cos afraid that we cannot get thru the customs. then forgetting that HK is actually quite an open minded country, where RA kind of VCDs, magazines are easily available, i picked up one VCD and turned to read the story line. then i realise it was RA one. then i heard a voice beside me, (in cantonese), "this is the latest title in this series. you can buy vol.1, 2 and 3. all of them are quite nice. want to buy all the 4 to watch?" i turned around and realise this young salesman talking to me and he was like proceeding to take one of each and bring it to the cashier. i quickly stopped him and said i can't buy cos it is impossible for me to bring it into Singapore. just smiled at him and quickly go and join my hubby which is at the other corner of the shop. i was so paiseh. but their sales service is really good lor.

after all the walking, bought some snack food to eat. last chance to eat already. then waited at the hotel lobby. on the coach bus to the airport, i was so tired, fell asleep.

then do all the necessary checking in, then lingered around in the airport, it's like we have one and a half hour to boarding time.

the trip back is so-so, nothing special, hubby slept in the plane, i watched 'stepford wives'. oh yah on the way to HK, we actually watched 'the day after tmr', a movie i wanted very much to watch.

when we reached singapore, can't wait to get home to hug the two kids. boy, i do miss them alot.
