2020 Update & 2019 Hong Kong Macau Trip

Assalamualaikum. Yes yes I know it has been almost a year and a half, I almost forgot this blog even existed. 👊 I haven't been updating anything in 2019. I guess last year was a year to heal and forget the bad memories I had in 2018? 😂 and boom we got Covid in 2020. I will update in another post on things that keep me sane while staying at home during these crazy Covid MCO phases.

Other things that also kept me sane is all of the travel photos I had, which also makes me sad since I'm supposed to go to Harbin for a winter trip at the end of last February but we had to cancel (well the hotels and flights were cancelled by the host since February was peak time for Covid in China) and we had to cancel, with heavy hearts. Although we've foreseen the tragedy coming we're still hoping to go, but a month before our flight a lot of people started dying (like seriously the numbers were soaring from day to day even in Harbin although the city is super far from Wuhan, that..was when we decided to just let go of the trip and be redha.). So yup peeps, no travelling in 2020!

Okey so back to it, my Hong Kong trip! It was spontaneous! We planned 2 months before going, got super discount (Buy 1 Free 1 Disneyland tickets - lucky us!), gamble on booking the cheapest accommodation (serves us right, we had trouble sleeping haha), buy everything on Klook (discount some more)!

Day 1 (28th July 2019)

Our flight is at noon, so we arrive at Hong Koon around 1pm, our schedule is packed since we only had 4 days to explore Hong Kong & Macau. I booked a cruise on the red sail junk boat called Aqua Luna (NP: RM73, but we got it at a discounted price for RM58.40!)


Kind of excited for the spontaneous trip!


Looks cool isn't it? I almost throw up on the ship and cant wait for it to stop. 
The speed is super slow but the waves make it worse. 


We waited for the Symphony of Light show, which we found not that entertaining. There's a lot of people, but there's supposed to be music alongside the light show, but it's super slow you can barely hear it. Which makes it...kind of boring?

              
    

Afterward's, we went to Ma's Restaurant, ordered a lot of things and feeling super sleepy and tired, all we wanted to do was checking in and sleep since the next day we're going to explore Macau!


Day 2 (29th July 2019)

The next day we went to Macau using the Macau Cotai Water Jet (NP: RM158, but we got the discounted price at RM126.40 per person for return tickets). You don't need visa as well in Macau and they use HK Dollar so saves up our time from changing the currency. It was a short trip, roughly around an hour, and my my, Macau provides free transportation in the city! We took the bus, which is easy since they provide the buses from the harbour to any tourist destinations in the city. 




We went to the famous casino place/mall, had trouble finding our ways in the mall. and we remembered joking about whether the mall uses perfume in the aircond since the whole mall smells...expensive! haha


Ruin's of St Paul.

Which we don't even bother to climb to look close to it. There are too many tourists there and the weather is not helping at all. 


Pretty spots we found while looking for egg tarts.


Eggs tarts still unfound but this corner looks Instagram worthy!




Then we went to Loulan Islam Restaurant, a small restaurant which you would have a hard time noticing since the location is secluded. But the food is okey. Okey la. 


First time trying the alley since I couldn't have the chance to do so in Malaysia, well the shop is just in front of our hotel. 


Day 3 (30th July 2019)
The highlight of the trip...DISNEYLAND!









Overall I think Disneyland Japan was wayyyy better than HK, simply because the staffs are more friendly. 



We left Disneyland around 6.30pm since we're so hungry and we didn't want to wait for the fireworks. 







This restaurant is located inside the mosque and they serves different dishes during night and morning, so we had rice and sides since its almost dinner time. We wanted to try the dimsum and decided to come again the next day before we go to the airport. 

Day 4 (31st July 2019)

As promised, we head down to the restaurant again in the morning to try their dimsum!
