I'm Am in Hong Kong again for the HK branch ICBA enhancement drop 3 - my last trip to HK for this project, insyaAllah. In fact, it's probably gonna be my last oversea assignment under Maybank Shared Services as I have already received an official email from Maybank Group Human Resource for my transfer to Maybank Islamic Berhad, alhamdulillah. Feeling excited and nervous at the same time for this new 'hijrah'... huhu.
Anyway, it's summer in Hong Kong now. We were supposed to fly to Hong Kong on Sunday evening but all flight were fully booked on Sunday and Monday so we had no choice but to fly on Saturday eve, which was quite frustrating as weekend are supposed to be bonding time with family -.-.
But the good news was Sunday was a free day.. thank god! So we took the opportunity to jalan2 and explore the city.
Us - yours truly, Valli, Chai Yin, Siti and Venice.
Happy to be able to jalan2 finally! Last trip was work, work and no fun :P
First stop - Hong Kong Times Square.
This building is about the same as the Time Square in Bukit Bintang KL.
There was an exhibition going on here...
Venice told me this robot is Gundam... aiyooo... I dunno lah.. my kids are all over that age :D
Us with the Gundam robot :D
Hong Kong on weekends are really happening! Many people everywhere!
Fall in love with this shop.
There's a huge Forever21 boutique... but cannot beat the one in Shanghai! :D
There's a small lane selling tudung... feel like being in Jalan Bonus back in KL :D
We decided to go to the Ladies Street in Mong Kok... jom study map :)
And we were here...
Like Petaling Street laaa a bit...
The others had so much fun buying shoes, shirts, skirts, ect. I only bought some fridge magnets for some friends. Did not dare to shop much due to the exchange rate yang sangat tidak menarik lately :(
Fall in love with lilies in this shop... so many different shades of lily! so beautiful!
I was once told, atas jejantas ni mmg happening on weekends. Lots of Indonesian maids lepak2 here spending time together with their fellow Indonesian.
Siti and I got lost when we were trying to find a halal restaurant for lunch (the others went somewhere else). We were so tired that we found ourselves giving up and decided to buy fruit juice only for lunch. While waiting for our fruit juice, I asked a bunch of Indonesian ladies where was the nearest halal restaurant and they said "jauh ibu!". Aiyoo... that's it lahh... we were not going to drag our foot anywhere anymore :p But later, the Indonesian ladies approached us again. One of them informed us "ibu kalau mahu makan restaurant halal, di atas jambatan sana ada ramai orang Indonesia meniaga makanan. Ada nasi, ada bakso, pecal, rojak... macam2 ada".
Okay... kami sangat penat... dan lapar! So jom jenguk apa ada...
OMG... this place is really happening, I tell you!
This this lady in purple tudung talked to us "Ibu makan pecal di sini bu".
Siti and I looked at each other and said... 'yeah.. why not'. Kaki kami mmg dah tak larat dah nak jalan lagi. Pinggang oso sakit kepenatan :'D
Siti and I - happy to be able to sit at last... haha!
And feasting our eyes on what happening here...
can't believe this is HONG KONG!!! :D
Monitoring the lady preparing our pecal - just to ensure it's hygienic and edible :D
The pecal was actually quite nice! seriously! yum! yum!!
Kenyang sudah... we decided to go home after buying some fruits.
On our way back, I looked above the bridge where we just sat and enjoyed our lunch... hahaha.
Super tired face. Nak tercabut dah kaki okay! :P
At the hotel lobby while waiting for Valli - taking out our shoes and resting our tired feet... huhu!
Walau pun penat... I had so much fun with the ladies! Today, back in the office. Start of ICBA Hong Kong Phase 2, Drop 3 testing! Ganbate! Moga dipermudahkan segala urusan...
