Sunday 9th Day in Hong Kong

Hello everyone, Nadiah here. Well its already been 1 week we stayed in HK. Basically we really enjoy staying here with all our Hong Kong Friends. They really spent some time for us to get us to the places around especially Brian, Marco, Davis, Peter John, Angela and Eve. On Saturday we actually celebrated Brian's 20th birthday at our hostel. For the very 1st time we went out shopping on our own at the new Tsing Yi MTR at the Marinetime Shopping Center. We bought him Tweety Bird Balloon (because his face looks like it..hehe very cute) T-shirt which says "A friendship that can be ended didn't ever start" and also we bought a Mango cut cake for each one of us because the round cake are all sold out. Then we surprise Brian at the hostel from behind while Nurez keep him busy.

Brian posing with the cakes and gifts that we bought for him. Look at his happy face!

Then on Sunday, Brian took us out to Causeway Bay. On sunday is very crowded, pack with alot of people. Especially the indonesia maids. The place is like orchard road Lucky Plaza pack with Philipines people, only this is the opposite. We went to the shopping mall of Times Square. The stuffs there are very expensive. All the stuffs are branded. So we move on to the streets to find more cheaper stuffs. haha. Along the way we saw IKEA because there's no other places we could go and we were tired so we take a rest at IKEA sofa. Hahaha. At the same time we think of where we should go and have our dinner. Since me and Nurez didn't bring our food along we decided to have dinner at a halal restaurant at Tsin Sha Tsui. Before we make a move, we went to Toys 'R' Us because Pang wanted to find the Transformers toy. Instead of getting what Pang wants, weh ad fun trying all the halloween costumes and masks that can be found inside the store.

On the left Michelle the Zombie and Gina the Monster Hat! Below, BOOM! Me the Bomb on my head!

Nurez the Witch and Pang the Old Man

Michelle changes to Ugly Monster!

As u can see our faces change to be very ugly. hahaha. After we had so much fun trying all sorts of masks we quickly go to the MTR to have our dinner at Ziafat. I and Nurez want to know how much and the taste of the food there. It is the combination of Indian,Pakistani and Arabian menu. So since I and Nurez know more about the dish we ordered 1 Fish Curry, 1 Chicken Curry, 1 spinach cottage cheese and steam rice. After the food arrive, we were shocked to see our dish. The dishes are so small that 1 Fish Curry can be eaten by one person. But the waiter told us one dish is serve for 2 people and the rice are not much to eat. We were so disappointed by the new restaurant that we ate. But overall the food is nice only that the serving portion is to little and expensive.

The Dish Is Sooooo Small

After everything is done we went back to our hostel. But before we take the shuttle bus back home Michelle, Gina and Nurez bought themselves an umbrella because the typhoon is here and keep raining. We were inform that the typhoon is on singnal 1. There are 5 signals all together which is T1, T3, T8, T9 and T10. The 1st 2 signals are ok for us to go out but once it hits T8, we need to stay at our hostel.

After everything is done we went back home safely. We really had so much fun and we hope u enjoy reading our blog. Take Care!

3rd Day in Hong Kong

Hello everyone, Nurez here (again)...today is Monday, so obviously we already have to start to pack up our books and prepare for our lectures..haha. Today Michelle, Pang and Gina had their 1st lesson on intergrated studies, their lecture starts at 10.30am. Me and Nadiah don't have any lessons on Monday so can wake up LATE! Weeee! Ooops! hahaha.. But just now I and Nadiah tag along with the rest at about 12.30pm to meet the section head. I forgot his name lah, to many people we shake hands with, forget all their names. Nvm we will check on that later. Michelle, Pang and Gina had lunch with the section head and some lecturer's, as me n Nadiah go walk around the school while waiting for them because we both are fasting infact we cannot eat also because not halal,haha. We been accompanied by one of the lecturer's there to take us tour around the school. As I can see the facillities around are about the same as our College. But they have much more facillities compared to us.

Then she took us to the library. The library is HUGE..Ms Amy Wong who is the head incharge of the library took us around and tell us more about the facillites that we can use. The library consist of 2 levels, the 1st level are all books and study area, as for the second level it is more to multimedia such as printers, computer rooms that have different kinds of software like e.g one room is for printing, and another room is for practices for advance software for their lessons. After which we created our library card, so that we can use to borrow books and access to the library, they have tight security and rules and regulation of the library. Once everything is done we have to activate our IVE account to access the internet and for our email for the lecturer's to send to us. Similar to ITE, they provide us points to use for printing. Inside there is 500pts available for us to use. If there any cases that we have use up all the points we can topup using our octopus card, otherwise we may just use the octupus card to print.

After everything is done, we meet up with Ms Karen Lo for a short briefing on our daily journal for us to do for IVE. Similar to what we are actually doing in this blog. She also pass a form to Michelle, Pang and Gina to fill in for the China Business Studies. She also invited us to have dinner with her this Monday on 24Sept for mid-autumn festival.

We went back to our hostel at about 1615hrs to wash our clothes, haha and the funniest part is they have to wait 1hr 45mins to wait till they done with their washing as me and Nadiah took only 10mins to wash by hand! hahaha..

Then at 1830hrs Michelle, Pang and Gina went out with Angela, Tracy and Davis to Mongkok and RETURN to the shop where they buy the gifts yesterday because 2 of Michelle key chains that she purchase was not given. Me and Nadiah stay at our hostel because we need to break our fast. About the outing today I'm not so sure, maybe Pang can tell more about where they went just now. Ok I want to sleep already have to wake up early in the morning...Gd Night!
