We wake up at 3.30am... managed to get ready n set off from my house at 4.15am... My dad fetch us to the airport... n we reach airport at 4.50am... we check in our luggages and we went for BK breakfast... Yummy... then we went in to the departure gate n scroll around inside... cos we are too early... hahaha... we even surf internet n we browse thru the weather of Shenzhen & Hongkong... it was in Fahrenheit which is 38 in Shenzhen & 46 in Hongkong... Shenzhen is much more cooler... 38 F is 3c in conversion & 46 F is 8c in conversion.... we were so shocked to see the weather forecast... keke... we were in uncovered shoes n dear is wearing short sleeves shirt lor... haha... :P Our departure gate is D47 n we managed to get a snap there... Boarded the plane... n to our surprise, one bottle of mineral water costs $2... it is so expensive lor... luckily we did a rite choice by having a full breakfast... Sleeping n complaining in the plane cos it was very bored up there... when plane arriving Hongkong, i suddenly feel pain in my left ear n head... think it was cause by the air pressure... but i nvr had tis problem before... but then luckily after the plane landed, i feel better.... Being too anxious upon reaching Hongkong, we actually missed the skypier to Shenzhen... we check out of the airport then realised we went the wrong way... but it was too late... Yong gave Qingfeng a call n told him tat we are unable to meet him at She Kou liao cos we cant take ferry anymore.... so we went to find coach to take us to Shenzhen... It cost us HK$200 per pax to get to Shenzhen... it was quite ex lor... n a big round of journey... but no choice... the 2 blurred us! when we reached Shenzhen custom... no one tells us wat to do... we 2 walked in n the man asked us to go out filled up the health form... After tat, we went to queue up inside to stamp our passport... then when its our turn, the lady officer say we must filled up the China card... We had queue up for so long liao... i ask the officer do i still have to queue up again, luckily she says no... haha.... finally we get in to Shenzhen n the coach drives us to Xin Tao Yuan Hotel... their driving is a bit reckless, we saw quite a no of accidents on the road... Yong even fasten his seat belt... Reaching Xin Tao Yuan hotel, we went up to room 1120 and we place our things n we came down to meet QF already... he's waiting for us downstairs.... Then we went for our lunch at a chinese restaurant... tis is the first time i had "Da Zha Xie" Fury crabs... but i dun think it taste very nice leh... cos dun really have meat one n somemore quite ex.... After the lunch, we went to buy headphones... keke... we each bought a headphone n i bought a beibei webcam oso.... Then Qingfeng drives us to Shi Jie Zhi Chuang<世界之窗>... The minature world... then he went back to work... We took numerous photos at Xiao Ren Guo...
i feel tat its quite a nice place to visit... quite worth it... as it cost RMB120.00 per person... but still worth it afterall... we even took photos in their indian costumes...
keke.... The most annoying part is we met a fortune teller n he insisted to tell us things n guide us... n te worst part is he came asking us for money... idiotic... dear gave him Singapore dollar 20 n he still say not enough... insisted i have to give oso... i refuse to give him S$ so i gave him RMB 50.00 .... so idiotic... waste money on such fellow... cheat us... luckily we managed to get thru.... After out visit at Xiao Ren Guo, QF came to meet us n we took a train to Lao Jie <老街> n we shop around Dong Men <东门>... its a nice place to shop.... n can bargain a lot... dear dear bought his first thing which is the LV card holder... then i saw a pair of white boots... then the guy say 88 n we thot he gave a very high price.. dear go tell him say 30... hahaha... n the guy got angry tat we bargain so much... so i didnt buy the boots... but later i saw the same pair in another shop n they carry brown colour... so i bought a pair of boots at RMB 70.00.... keke... dear bought a winter wear at RMB216.00.... not bad lah the colour.... keke... had a good time shopping... bought a luggage, a pair of sports shoes, LV bag, Channel bag, a white winter wear at only RMB28.00.... it is so cheap... its only S$6.... for winter wear... the best buy for my trip... its cheaper than a T-shirt... keke... the most impt thing is the shopping areas open until very late... we shop until 10.45pm lor... then took a bus back... if i nvr remember wrongly is bus 143... keke... their bus quite special... cos u can board n sit down first then there will be someone to sell u the tickets... n heard from QF, the lady can actually remember where u should be alighting so u cant cheat her... keke... it was very cold when we alight the bus... QF brought us to the BBQ road stalls... i try the mutton... not bad leh... mushroom oso... keke... but it was too cold n i was wearing sandals lor... so cold... keke.... we quickly step into the hotel n i feel better.... tis ends our day.. A long day....
