Hong Kong

"$$$$"

I think it's time for me to blog while waiting for my twitlimit on Twitter. So, I went to Hong Kong on the 3rd of December and came home on the 7th. It was hell awesome despite their high cost of living. We arrived in Hong Kong at 6 something and we took the Express Train to Kowloon, the place we are going to stay. It was a hostel without wifi. So, we have to live without Internet for 2 days. Next, we went to Mong Kok and stayed there for another 2 days.

Big City. 

One of the buildings in Kowloon.

1. Frankly speaking and to be honest, Hong Kong is so much better than Malaysia. I think you would be agreed if you go and pay a visit there. The buildings are huge and they are 10 times better than Malaysia. What I see is the residents really make use of the public transportations - buses and trains. The government really urge them to use public transportations instead of owning a car. Lagi bagus, save the environment and money and also they can exercise. 

I think I look totally fashionable.

2. On the next day, we took a ferry to Macau. It's a one day trip. It took us about an hour. All we have to do in the ferry is zzzZzZzzz. Macau is pretty okay except for its Immigration. We have to queue up and it took hours to wait. 

City Of Love.

3. I'm quite surprised to see the amount of couples in Hong Kong. They are like everywhere. Holding hands, kissing and such. Of course they look sweet ~.~

You know, I can't simply take a picture of them kissing.

Business And Smoking.

4. I really don't see the point for the Chinese to be so mad at us when we don't buy their things. We were just take a look and they start to bargain and such. You see, we can't even ask 'How much does this cost?' whatsoever. All we have to do is just see their things far away. But you can't think like 'Because of a person, everyone spoil'. They are some businessmen/women who are kind to us.

                                      

I think this owner gets lots of Malaysian customers until he understood what we were saying. Enam = Seratus.

5. They tend to smoke a lot. I don't have the exact picture but you see it's annoying every time I have to avoid the smoke. Impressively, they obey the rules. If there were signs of NO SMOKING or SMOKING IS PROHIBITED, they will definitely stop. Did the Malaysians ever obey this?

Starving For Food.

Our food that we had during our 5 days stay.

6. The first two pictures are quite special. They are really expensive. They cost us about HK$200. I'm not that sure if we convert it in RM but it really is expensive. Nevertheless, we still bought on 10 Muharam which 6th of December, the day before we arrive Malaysia. Dad really insists of finding the restaurant and having them on that particular night. 

7. The last two pictures are some kind of Murtabak and Nasi Impit with Brahim kari and serunding. Murtabak is like our 'everyday' meal. We bought it in a Pakistan stall in Chungkin. Halal food can be found there but to save our pocket money, we brought our food from home. Alhamdulillah, we found it quite easy there. 

Pekan Baru

"What I've been through."

Hi, Assalamualaikum. I just came back from Pekanbaru, Indonesia on Sunday, 3rd of October. I'm currently having a fever, running nose and headache. Getting better, Alhamdulillah. So, I went to Pekanbaru for 3 days 1 night. It was awesome. The food was scrumptious! Delicious!

Siak's Generation.

1. Yes, you may now call me Puteri Qistina Nur Hidayah. I have cousins from Indonesia that relates to my grandmother. It's quite hard to explain, I even seem to confuse myself with these large amount of family members. They are not fully Indonesians, they are Minang and their great great grand parents are the King and Queen of Siak, Indonesia. Get it? I know you don't. Even I don't understand. But, what I know is I'm mix with Siak. I'm the generation of Siak. Hi :3

Wealthy People. 

2. For what I've observed, most of them use Blackberry. Who says, Indonesians are not rich? I got to tweet using Buncik's Blackberry Torch. It was huge and it also is a touch screen phone. So, kiranya macam 2 in 1. Not to say they are very rich, but they can afford everything. They have lots of companies to work on and yes, they are very hard working people. I'm quite surprise that a 12-year-old boy, already owned a blackberry. Wow :/

Friendly And Very Welcoming People. 

3. They are super friendly and they really love to joke around. I feel that they have known us, the comers for ages. They way they treat us, is like we are from King, Queen, princesses and princes from Malaysia. They are so welcoming. They take and drop us at the hotel during the days when we were in Pekanbaru. We didn't spend a Rupiah on taxis at all. They tend to have lots of cars and one the them owns a rental cars company for occasions.

Great Food. 

Marvellous, salty bakso :)

Sundae ice-cream only in KFC (:

Jagung Bakar. Lembut and enaq banget.

4. The food is just unexplainable. Unexplainable. Buncik's Nasi Padang was fantastastica! Every house we visit, cooked Nasi Padang. So, I made a conclusion on why I'm sick now is because I eat too much Nasi Padang. Haha but seriously their Nasi Padang is scrumptious. In conclusion, Asians are best for their food.
