The Magical Disneyland

There is a story about the magical word, it is not about what behind it, but rather how the word was used in mama conversation with the hotel there, I will come back to that later. But for now lets look at the photos I posted below. The magic of Disneyland, the cartoon characters, the movies and adventures we got to see up close and personal, well, almost.

We don't expect the weather to be hot, so babah wore a sweater and mama a cardigan. Of course mama can take off her cardigan and Adeeb his hooded top sweater, but babah wore nothing under his sweater and had to put up with sweat and what come with it. We managed to have this picture of the four of us after babah helped a Filipino family to take theirs. I noticed a lot of Filipinos in Hong Kong and they mistaken us as one of them.Hmmm, I don't blame them. You can see in our face, brimming with smiles and excitement. Imagine, we have been waiting to visit this place for months, and finally this was the day! 
Tomorrow Land was our first destination, the reason? Because it is located nearest to the entrance and err, children-friendly I supposed. It wasn't that exciting, as the ride was a familiar ride featured at almost all theme parks. Hmm, lets see what else do they have..

Then, The Adventure Land, located next to Tomorrow Land. At first I thought this is familiar! A river cruise? Hmm, well you won't believe how it turned out, I was scared to death. Imagine, the huge crocodiles trying to attacked us, human skulls floating in the river, gorrillas shooting at us, I mean shooting, with shot guns! And fire came out of a cave near us and the river was almost set on fire. Holy cow! I was terrified. I couldn;t wait to get out of the boat!!

I told mama, no more scary ride ok. So next we went to see the Lion King play. I haven't the faintest idea, what on earth was Lion King until I see this show. I definitely going to get the DVD of all the movies after this show. This is classic guys. How come I know nothing about Simba and his friends? Anyway, the show was, superb! As we sat at the front row, we got to shake hands with the actors. 

I will post other pictures later okay, the Small World, Toy Story Land and what we had for lunch. A halal restaurant that served Indian cuisines and even Laksa Penang! Till then, thanks for viewing.

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong

As promised, I posted below photos taken in the wax museum.. they look real in pictures, but they do look like wax statues look up close.. Adeeb wasn't featured a lot in this post because he was not in the mood to take pictures with the wax statues he doesn't even know their names he said. These things, he said, are nothing compared to the Ultramen collections he already had.. sigh*. Anyway, enjoy the photos below ya, thanks..
Mama told me not to get too close to Tiger Woods, come on Ma, I am only 5, hehe
err.. it's not everyday that we can dine with Ms Piggy and Mr Porky, right? hehe..
I particularly love the pic with The President of United States

Hong Kong.. here we come!

It's been a while.. a year to be exact, or maybe more that we have not been posting anything here. I don't know how to start this, I almost forgot what and how to write. Hmm, just an update, we've been to places we have never been to before in the past one year, like Singapore, Johor Bahru, Bali and the latest Hong Kong. There is no intention to show off, but this blog is for us to share with family members and close friends photos of our travel in and outside the country. So far this is the farthest we have ever been to. There is plan to travel farther, but work commitment and err.. current bank accounts do not seem to allow it. So for this post, let see what we have been doing in Hong Kong in April.
The flight fares are not that expensive, believe it or not, it was cheaper than KUL-KCH-KUL! Slightly over a thousand ringgit, and that was after baggage charges.The hotel was a little expensive, but you may opt for smaller hotel or budget hotel but with way smaller space. This one that we stayed for two nights was spacious, with small kitchen complete with stove and hood. You can see in the photo above, that I got my own bed. And the wifi spot in each room, was fast! Mama loved it for sure, coz she won't miss her favorite drama series.
The weather was cloudy and rainy. It was drizzling the whole of our next day trip to Hong Kong Island. April is supposed to be a great month to visit Hong Kong, I guess we weren't that lucky.
 We took The Big Bus Tour around the island, so it was easy to hop in and out of the bus, the big double deck bus.But, it was raining so we didn't get to enjoy the view from the top floor
 It was ok, coz we still got to climb the Victoria Peak and spent more time in the Madame Tussauds wax museum. It wasn't that hard to get here, you can use either bus or Peak Tram. The queue for the tram was not that long. I remember, the queue to Penang Hill train was longer than that.

There are more pictures during our visit to Madame Tussauds, I promise to post them here soon ok. Then, I will be posting pictures of our trip to the magical Disney Land. Thanks for viewing :)
