One of our tour member noticed we miss out Aberdeen Harbour from yesterday itinenary and informs our tour guide. So first place we headed to Aberdeen Harbour, nothing much to see from jetty. If wish to see people who living in fishing junks, then need to take boat ride out. We all just taking some photo. Next spot will be Wong Tai Sin temple. We were given 1/2 hour there to pray, take picture & 'kau chim'. For those who still S&A, can ask when the jodoh will come :)
Next they took us to Jewellery Factory (TSL), where me & PP bought a zodiac pendant. Souvenir for ourself .. hehehe ..
Its almost noon when we out from Jewellery factory. Raymond suggest we bought McD for our lunch as the food in Disneyland very expensive. So we all bought McD and have our lunch in bus, on the way to Disneyland.
Disneyland .. we coming .. take a group picture at the main entrance. Raymond give us a map and some briefing on how to walk around and where to meet after the firework. Due to time contraints we must plan in order to see all the show.
Fun begins .. Go around the park by monotrain. Oh .. miss out the show time, nevermind play roller coaster 1st. Indoor roller coaster by space theme .. very very dark .. Chum chum chum .. ArrrRRR ..ArrRRR .. Wah Wahh.. very beautiful the stars .. then it move faster, faster, faster, corner here & there .. I'm too scared to open my eyes, only heard scream from side & front (guys scream from William Friend's & Raymond) OMG .. no voice when come out but very 'chi ket'. Want to try another round ;).
As it was sunday, quite alot people there. We have to queue for the show. Then run here and there all around the park to show theather (different park). Manage to watch Lion King Festival (the lion look alive, my favorite), Mickey Award presentation and Its Small Small World. At 3pm will have a parade .. wah !! alot people stand at pavement to see it.
Haiz .. So wasted, wish that we can arrive earlier so that can have more time to buy sovenir and play games. Then at 7pm, everyone crowed at Main Street USA to see firework.
After firework, everyone gather together to go back. Bye Bye Disneyland .. Then on the bus, they asked me, did u watch 3D Motion, OMG .. we missed out that one :(
Everyone look tired but Raymond don't want us sleep, he entertain us by singing & telling us real sad story .. until reach hotel .. so gam .. He really a entertainer .. apa pun boleh ..
