And as usual, expensive shopping malls have their expensive majestic Xmas trees. Take paragon's Xmas tree as the sg version of this:
That 4 letter word behind is quite an apt addition to the Xmas tree.
The clocks strikes 6.06pm!
And a jazzy Xmas band comes to perform during off-work hours. woah.
Got my facts wrong. The bag that was highly imitated wasn't from Tod's but from Longchamp. Like I would bother buying one. tskkk.
More Xmas decors along the branded boutiques..
Sale there wasn't really huge but huge enough for them. Who would expect branded shops to come out with a sale? The economic crisis has indeed changed their way of selling things.
Remember the name: 置地广场。
As if the shopping malls didn't have enough branded boutiques, the buildings outside were also filled with the names that we are all so familiar with.
The true colours of 中环。
Mum and I headed off to 天星码头 to head back to Tsim Sha Tsui. Meanwhile, the traffic at Central was just as bad as daytime.
My 3rd mission of the HK trip was to travel to one of HK's offshore islands. And this is one of the piers that can take me to those islands. Will see more pics in later posts.
I realized that piers are the only traces of history that can be found in the hearts of HK's CBD. Hope that it won't suffer the same fate as 皇后码头。
Central's Night scenery from Central. The construction in front must be reclaimation work.
Further ahead: 会展。(times when i wished i had a dslr again.)
This year's Xmas lighting wasn't fantastic either.
Off we go to take 天星小轮!Can't believe that the ferry ride is soo Cheap! Yet another transportation from the olden days. Yay.
The ferry that used to appear in HK dramas. haha like OLD dramas. Who would take the ferry now when there's bus or MTR?
But then again, who would rather squeeze like a can of sardine in the MTR/ bus than to enjoy a slow but easy ride across the bay on the ferry? Well, thats for you to decide.
But the night view across the harbour is really something to look forward to. With the winter sea breeze blowing across your cheeks. Cool and refreshing.
Night view to Tsim Sha Tsui. Dad says that the whole of Kowloon can only be seen from 半山 across the sea. But I think the view from the ferry is just as nice.
In a matter of ten minutes, I arrived at the other side of HK. Hey, that's not enough! As usual, the HK-ers were rushing to get out, rushing to nowhere.
Arrived just in time for dinner and more photo-whoring with yet another expensive shopping mall: Harbour City. Out of all the shopping malls I been to during the HK trip, I think this one has the best Xmas decor.
Couldn't wait to take pics of the moving train. But that kotor woman just refuse to bulge. And to be honest, I wasn't the only one waiting. There was a row of tripods and photographers folding their arms and talking to each other while the kotor woman posed one shot after one shot.
walked away to look at other decor and FINALLY when i came back she left. But to my horror, my camera batt was almost going flat. HAIZ.
The last 2 most important pics that I managed to take.
And twas was Day 2 of HK trip. Day 3 is another shopping trip to factory outlets. Next up on Day 4 is: offshore island, Ping Chau!! Stay tuned..
