Wanted to go time square next which is located at exit A(Warning:Exit A and Exit D are not linked by the station as there are different gantries leading to different exit,if some1 can find 1 tell em k?Aniwae for those whom are lazy can buy a tix to the next station as it only cos ard 50 cent to use the gantries exit once again haha if u dun wan to walk but keep in mind that ya tix will be confiscated).Time square is a big shopping mall as the higher level it does the more exp the stuffs are(credits for ys for enlightening me on that) eg from zara to club monaco to burberry etc...so haha materialistic ppl haha theres a light for ya....
Pretty like this structure...

Finally Flabby bought stuffs..hahaDay 3If you are in hk u must try the wanton mee over there...haha their wantons are alwys big and fresh with lots of fillings in side...love them man....haha...
Big prawn dumpling:):):)As there are still stuffs that i wanted to buy at Time square ,we headed there again...Next we headed to Paterson street.This is place where shops are in shophouses and u haf to climb up to go to those shops..If you are pretty brand oriented,you may wan to go to IT shop(is in caps,not small letter as there is another meaning for small letter) over there but keep in mind the stuffs are mostly out of season but selling cheap...The brands they carry are commes de garcon,paul smith etc
IT shop...
Take the lift to the 2nd floor??opps it is out of order
This mickey look pretty fierce,aint it???
Never know there is agnes b choc...but apparently there are like 6 botiques in hk...
Costing hk$16 each..i love lychee and rose flavour:)We dined at Azabu Sabo nearby,,price range around the same as SPore...
Azabu sabo....
Chicken katsu don...think spore outlet is better
Crab plus egg,but i feel that i am like always eating the shell like tt...maybe is i think too much...
The combination for this is superb.. haha...shiratama ,macha icecream,water melon and nutty mochi...wha,,,,
Think this is pretty inconvenient as u will need a key to access to their toilet...the most surprising part is when u open the door and u find some 1 inside...Somehow something gets wrong with our head,we wanted to go to the furthest station(tung chung) at the west which is at lantau island and by train(pretty ex to travel there and the exchange from honkong island to lantau island is really far)...pretty scary i must sae as there is only me and flabby and we are passing over the sea...wooo....There is a citygate outlets shopping centre over there.It is well known to sell brands like nike ,puma,burberry,club 21 at a much lower price...but the prob is they are mostly out of seasons...
The last station of Lantau island...tts like so far la...
Finally reached this place after 45 mins haha thou it seem damn long....Shopping for a while we decided to head out to Tsing YI station for a walk,there is maritime square over there,it is something like our tiong bahru plaza..
Maritime squareIt was really raining heavily and we are totally drenched as we ran to silvercord....tts really bad luck as we brought umbrella to hk and just nice the day we neber bring out and it rained....We look really pathetic...Brewwww....dman cool after entering those shopping malls...those high ends shops assistants were looking at us as if thinking who these brats are,...hateed these feelings...But the dinner at AJisen saved our dae haha...the hot shiny soup of ramen and a cup of ocha...wha....juz nice...haha....
Time for some hot ramen....:)
Never did i know the sweet corn goes well with ramen...haha
ganpai....Decided to turn back to Harbour city and i am really glad that i head back haha...This place is reallly veri veri veri veri big ...Wad brands u wan u name u get it,from long champ,coach,burberry,lv,gucci,prada,YSL,emporio armani,hugo boss ,guess wha,,,,cant name it all man....
Bijoux?a new series??
See the difference
A fashion show image on a stairs..hahaWe get to see the symphony of lights too..seriosuly amazing view plus it had juz stopped raining...damn... regretted nt going to the avenue of stars..haha if nt the view will be so much nicer....
The symphony of lights...haha Nice....Had always wanted to get a wallet for myself since mine had been damaged for pretty long...so decided to look ard at those branded stuffs and since there is galleria beside ...hehe...i will go check out the prices and then buy at galleria...haha...I even took a can down to the other DFS as the one at Tsim Sha Tsui dun have the model i wan lo...haha but this cab fare(wondering when the counter will move?) is worth it haha if i can get a off like 100 bucks sgd why not>????haha...pretty extreme actualli haha cos it is still raining out there and ya we are under the rain again haha...But it was rather relaxing to walk under mild rain on the streets at like 1030pm at nite???
A trick for ya guys...if ya guys wan to buy branded stuffs...veteran noes tt that isnt much difference in the price of the goods in diff countries except in europe...here is a way to buy cheap branded goods...1)check for which countries spore have a better exchange value with in terms of currency value increasement 2)Go to DFS3)try to go during sales period as there maybe still some sales...hahaI got mine at 350 where retail at 450 at flabby one gotten it at 190 plus where retail is ard 400 i tink haha..see the diff???:)Ya another thing...dun be turned off if the leather goods was printed with "made in some countries that you dun like..".As taught by the salesperson,it is just because of the batch differnce resulting to differnet manufacturer...this does not means inferior goods...so...rest assured:)Back at hotel,have to do some pack up le..cos flying off tml le:(
