Glad To Be Here

Went to Ngong Ping on 23rd April. It was drizzling and we’ve expected a cooler day but didn’t expect it to be windy and foggy when we reach the Giant Buddha.

We started off our journey by taking the Tung Chung line to get to Ngong Ping cable car station.

Drizzling at first, thus got water drops on my cable car windows, then it got foggy and we seems to be hanging no where on the sky.

The start of our cable car journey, looks a bit scary if you are afraid of height.

 
This is all we can see from our cable car.

Been there before but I went there again, this time with different purpose - to show dad how does it look like, rather than having him stay at home staring at the TV and had most of the time doing the reverse.

We went to Avenue of  Stars  last year and I went back again today. This time have lots of photo opportunity and with clearity but the air is not very clear today. We got off in Tsim Sha Tsui’s station and got the Olympic mascots - Fuwa, welcomed us in different posing for the many games in the Olympic.

We saw even more of them on a stage nearby

Fortunately with the wide angle digital camera, I can stand near to the stage and took this photo. Before us were a mother with daughter who keep on telling her daughter that she can’t get all 5 mascot in the picture *wink*

I was officially entering mainland China yesterday with my family. I got a 2 times VISA till November, so maybe I’m going to come back again before November, else will just let it be.

We travel from my sister’s place taking the train then bus over to the custom immigration station entering mainland China, then just walked past the immigration with our passports and took a taxi here. Fortunately there wasn’t a lot of people during noon time. So getting through the immigration was a bliss. The officer even mistaken Mer as Cal *LOL* cos we past up the wrong form for him and he didn’t even ask if that is little Mer or Cal.

We went to Ajisen to have our early dinner at 6pm. It is a must go place for me. I just love their pork ribs soup that is creamy and tasty. Can’t find it in Malaysia. The one in Malaysia is a halal shop, so no pork ribs soup is allow. Half way waiting, we got a sleepy head telling us that he is sleepy, so me and hubby was makign some noice ‘cos we have been telling them to get some sleep before we all went out. However, no matter how we want him to stay awake, he falled asleep in less than 2 minutes! All the way till we got home, then only little Mer woke up.

Yesterday was the closing ceremony of the Olympic game. It wasn’t as grand as the opening ceremony but I can see that all the athelete are carefree now that they’ve done with their race. Well, in another 4 years time, the whole world is going to meet again in London, till then I hope I have the chance to visit London again.
