#2 & #3: Hotel 81 Heiresses
These were by far the 2 most damaging, shopping-intensive days.
& the only days where all 4 of us wrecked havoc together.
Tuesday 22nd April, HONG KONG DAY TWO:
Meet Markers Argyle Centre Langham Place
Wednesday 23rd April, HONG KONG DAY THREE: City Gate Outlet Mall Elements Mall Jordon Temple Street
Day Two Camera On Duty: Camel
Jean Cai woke up at 6.30AM to read Newsweek and shit.
By 8.30, she started to ring us, complaining how she had 'unloaded' everything and was hungry.
(We ignored her and got out of bed at 9)
3 Bowls of Porridge for Breakfast- Where's Goldilocks (Markers)?
Left: Century Egg & Lean Pork Congee
Centre: Fish Congee
Right: Minced Beef Congee
Langham Place- Home to H&M
H&M was mother dua, mother cheap and mother better than topshop.
Mark: "...OKAY. Let's meet back here in....2 hours" rofl.
Because Camel was on duty....
We got to pose in front of the escalator spanning 4 storeys
while sulky Jean was pacified with her individual 1/2 storey one. HAHA!
You can just count the 4 bowls everyday
I'm done with mangodrink/mangoicecream descriptions- Just. MANGOES.
**Lots of lapses in Day 2 cos CAMEL was on duty
(and it was obv not as efficient as XBC)
So naturally, you'll only see lots and lots of food pics- how Jean-ish!
Ate so much, but the 2 couldn't be denied of their Big Bowled Meals
Top: Sliced Beef, Beef Balls
Bottom: Fish-Knead Noodles, Pork
Cos Jean's stomach has a 3-hr Alarm Clock,
Japanese Q Peanut Pancake & Egg Balls.
And...Day 2,
Jolie triumphs!
Argyle: 2 dresses, 1 pair of red skinnies (Ivan)
H&M: 1 top, 1 pair of aviator shades
SASA: Eyeliner
Red skinnies- yes, my brother's ah beng like that.
I know the red skinnies were S$8 but my mum had to tell my bro,
"Your underwear will turn red when it rains" and now he refuses to wear it! WL.
Day Two Damage (Food + Transport + Shopping):
S$88.70
THIS STILL ROCKS.
Day 2 of Not Having to Think About Work
Left: Simply can't wait for Roast Goose on Thurs
Centre: We specially coordinated our PJs to feel like we're on a school trip, haha!
Right: Er, was this the day Mark was bra-less? :D
We did Day 2's Vid,
Camwhored with our newly-muscled calves,
& watched Bobby Au-Yueng to sleep. : )
Day Three Camera On Duty: Pink Ah Lian
And now, the day where our HK fortune was halved,
and we shopped like heiresses to Hotel 81.
The woman who took our orders, "This much ah?"
Yun Yueng (Coffee+Tea) & Milk Tea, Bo Lo Bun
Chu Qian Yi Ding, Macaroni, Sandwich, Instant Mee
Haha yes, overload of luncheon meat- we were Ma Ling-deprived!
(This is damn tormenting......)
Tung Chung Station: City Gate Outlet Mall!
Here's where all hell broke loose (and we turned to credit cards).
80% of the shops here are factory outlets! (armani, adidas, benetton, club21, ralph lauren...)
and the rest were on discounts (levi's, calvin klein, kate spade...)
After 2.5hrs at Esprit- Jean's Mother Long (S$200+) Receipt
........Thanks ah, I look like T-Rex towering over them menacingly
Our "Factory Outlet" Dimsum Restaurant, haha
DAMN GOOD, and all for $8/pax
Fried Mantou, Har Gow, Steamed Pork Ribs
Char Siew Bao, Lotus Buns, Glutinous Rice, Chee Cheong Fun x2 (Shrimp + Char Siew)
Siew Mai, Xiao Long Bao and Jean, caught finishing the porridge by the ladle
Our Loot from City Gate
Jean and I working off Har Gows
We never had to climb stairs in Singapore (except school).
But here, they only have escalators for long flights!
& after 6 months of Admin-Bumming, sprained butts resulted.
<--This message was brought to you by 'Onwards Singapore!'-->
Next, Elements Mall!
Their toilets more posh than our hotel room la
Couches and an extensive magazine rack,
Flowers (destined to wilt after nasty 'sessions') in the cubicle,
Even a shoe polisher!
Ice Skating Ring
LOOK AT OUR BAGS!
(not my eyebag)
Left: Beating long changing room queues
Right: I've got that dazed 'We're in Heaven' look, hahaha!
At night, we were sitting at the hotel lobby with all our bags and the bell boys were O.O.
I bet they were in a dilemma over whether these were considered "luggages"! lol
Night walk from Tsim Sha Tsui to Jordon
At Jordon: Mark got her "Sammi Cheng" goggles \\ So did we
Oppressive is Mark
Holidaying is torturousss!
We finally gave up and returned to our hotel at 10
(because we were developing muscular armpits from lugging all those bags)
And today's Bed Showdown...
I was the day's biggest winner!
(Mock my Esprit pullover somemore)
Esprit: 3 quarts, handbag
Calvin Klein: washed skinnies
H&M: bikini, white straw handbag
Quiksilver: roxy denim skirt, quiksilver sleevesless top (Ivan)
Jordon/Temple Street: 2 sunglasses, 1 geeky specs, Tiffany & Co bracelet and necklace (Val & Agnes)
Gap pullover & 2 shirts (Ivan)
Shopping was stressful okay- Jean Cai had to shop for 4 brothers!
(damn difficult cos 2 are stick-thin and the other 2, prosperous HAHA)
Day Three Damage (Food + Transport + Shopping):
S$431.70
O.M.T
That is like how many "$7/hr"s ?!
And this is Lobster Mark after I told her she'd spent $3XX
As you can tell, I was damn fantastic at keeping track of everything in my trusty notebook.
(We had to do Accounts every night and they would copy mine!)
Then we laughed at Jean trying to squeeze everything into Puny
She was going home for Law Interview... : (
Their equally anal(ytical) letter wrote, "Only under extenuating circumstances will we reschedule...."
(It just means, "Unless you think your hair is chio-er than our white, curly wigs,
YOU GET YOUR FAT ASS BACK")
& THAT NIGHT, BOON GOT ACCUSED OF BEING A MISTRESS! WAHAHHAA!
I was bathing when this crazy woman knocked on the hotel door and demanded to know where her husband was.
She didn't believe Boon and pushed her way in to check! LOL, Boon was HORRIFIED.
I was equally horrified when I found out.
Thank goodness she didn't knock down the toilet door okay!
And this is Cocoon Jean- ready to be a butterfly tmr
On potential hostel mates,
Jean sleeps with hair dryers, hangers, bible and misc plastic bags on her bed.
(Left: That's her violently snatching the hair dryer when we tried to snap her)
And despite her Puny luggage, you don't see 3/4 of the hotel floor.
You'll also be delighted to know she sleeps with all the lights on, switches off the air con
and wakes up at 6.30am to shit.
Jean is srsly Top Choice. : )
END OF DAY TWO & THREE!
(Ocean Park and Madame Tussaud's next)
