is finally back from 3rd Hong Kong trip

it's getting short & shorter...

but it was all fun & just GET OUT THERE...
i got too stress out @ work I need to leave the country URGENTLY...

check out Air Asia, the cheapest flight to somewhere I familiar & do not need to spend much was HK & the date, was last weekend lor.. haha...

last minutely took 2 days Annual Leave (my last 2 days of AL with Pru)... also tak kisah bah..

had a blasting time in Hong Kong !!!!..

the most memorable was my THIRD DAY...
HK had officially hoisted TYPHOON 8 on Monday 14 September 2009.
coincidently it was my last day in Hong Kong... means.. all my last minute shopping....

arggghhhh... i would had said, it ruin a little of my time there... sky got dark super fast..
shopkeepers are already in the midst to keep their stuff... (i got lesser time to shop)
all worried & wants to finish off their work ASAP & balik rumah...

inexperience of typhoon 8 me, happily continued shopping in Sheung Wan... i walked/ bristled my way from Sheung Wan to Lan Kwai Fong.. because I had got to get my favourite tee from H&M.. haha.. it's a super colourfull checked tee for HK$99.

loving it...

how was my trip to the Hong Kong Airport?? It was almost a nightmare.
I was already missing HK when I was shopping my last moments in Lan Kwai Fong.. (sms-ed Luyi)
after i stuffed all my shoppings into my rucksack @ Yes Inn @ about 6pm, I quickly wash up my self in the washroom before i grab my rucksack and headed to the bus stop below for BUS 11A to the airport.

happily thinking, i get to shop again @ Hong Kong Disneyland souvenier shop in HKIA... (wheeeeee, more Pooh)
mana tahu, the jam from NT to Airport was super bad.. they'd closed the 7 or 8 lanes toll to only 3..
I believe it was to reduced the amount of vehicles on the bridge (HK famous Ching Ma Dai Kiu)... as the wind was strong.. too heavy might break the bridge? maybe...

so the bus moved a few meters after halted for more than 10 minutes... *in my heart* sei lor...
i was already thinking the worst... who lived nearest to the Airport.. Tom, Spence... maybe i can ajak them for dinner... hahaha...
then catch the next available flight back to KL lor.. what to do...

after a terrible & miserable self-heart-to-self-heart talk, the bus seems to arrive the airport... according to my HP time...
i'm exactly 45 minutes to my departure time... sei lor.. counter CLOSE NOW!!!.. lagi it's HKIA... sure everything is on time..

before the Bus arrived @ Terminal 2 (T2), i'd grabbed my rucksack and all prepared to run to the check-in counter...
once the bus stopped, doors openned. i jumped out & ran as fast my feet could carry me... i was panic @ the big huge screen trying to find where is Kuala Lumpur check in counter for AA,
found.. it was just right behind the big screen...

i flew there, happily i was allowed to check-in... wah... that was like the happiest moments... in recent times.. i ever had.. i did not miss my flight !!!!!
i letak my bag on the weigh-ing strap... SMARTLY.. packed rucksack by me.. it weight 14.8kg... wakakakak... me super expert dah...

everything was smooth... the girl told me i have another 5 minutes to the custom gate & another 10 minutes before the departure gates close... and guess what.. Gate 47 is 2 trains away after the custom... sei again lor...

i ran towards the custom.. but my heart still wanted me to go visit the HK Disneyland gift shop.. so i ran there & check out if there's any Pooh Soft toy keychain... i'd been looking for it for months dah.. masih tak ada..

i ran down to the custom, everything cleared... double Phewed... *somehow raleigh people have a higher heartbeat rate @ these counters*, it's either liquid or penknife.. hahaa...

grab everything, got my passport stamped... ran to the train.. changed train.. ran to the gate..
everyone seems to be sitted nicely & comfily.. i asked "if i still have time to go to the washroom"... yes, i thought tak cukup masa dah... pergi grab some expensive chocolate as food.. as i know i will get hungry & AA does not serve food to non-pre-order passenger in less than 2 hours...

i even managed to walked around to a few other shops to hunt for my Fruitips.. yes.. found it in a shop... over priced by HK$3... dont carelah.. i still LOVE them.. hahaha...

almost bought all available on shelf... hahaha... there weren't much lor...

so happily got into the plane & i pakai-ed my sleeping neck pillow.. nice.. after allowing more air out.. it became more comfy.. and the eyes cover.. was just perfect..
i need all the sleep i need...

as HK was still typhoon 8, the plane had a rough journey the 1st hour... tiba2 jatuh, heart also can feel like pop-out.. haha. but it was fun & i trust our pilot...

hours later, fight delayed & arrived LCCT @ 2am+... sei.. last bust was supposed to be @ 1:15am.. called luyi, she wanted to come pick me from LCCT lor.. i told her dont.. it's so late jor.. let me check if there's still bus..

found.. masih ada.. pop-in told luyi, im safe.. still got bus... an hour later.. i arrived KL central.. should be 3am+ dah.. reached home also dah 4am+

after online abit.. i pengsan-ed.. took MC & i'm too 'sick' too work dah.. ahahaha

shall talk more about my trip & my photos.. (did not took much, was alone and wanted to spend more time shopping) and im also too lazy to dig out my camera which is in the bottom of all my shoppings.. hahaha

looking forward for another Raleigh trip to HK, i believe we will be as crazy as we did during March early this year.. excited.. all over again !!!...
