recap of past months.

Yes, it's been a long time since I posted a decent post here, many apologies, AGAIN.
As you can see, I have once again changed the layout of my blog. I hope you guys will like it.
Its been a little over a month since Henry & I got back from HK & I have been meaning to do a recap of our trip but never got time to, until now. So sit back & enjoy.

Our HK trip was great! It had been 13 years since Henry last went, and it had been 3 years for me. Even though was trip was only 2 weeks long, we managed to go to 3 different places. ( HK, Macau & Chimelong, China) So we were pleased with ourselves.

Like I said, it had been 13 years since Henry last went, a lot has changed and a lot of things were new to him. * Octopus cards* It was a whole new experience for the both of us, because it was actually our first overseas trip together!

We stayed in my aunties friend's Motel in To Kwa Wan, which was very convenient for us. It was close to my auntie's work, across the road there was a 7 eleven & my favourite dessert store, Hui Lau San. And then down the road, there was Maccas ! it was like heaven for Henry haha!

We flew on the 23rd October morning flight, and remembering that as soon as we landed. My 4th auntie picked us up from the airport and straight after we dropped off our luggage. We went to eat beef noodles! It was great! Then at night, we went to Temple Street & ate skewers ( BBQ style) with 5th Auntie & Uncle , and my cousin Christy & her now husband Wai. ( The main reason why we went to HK was for Christy's wedding). After that, we shopped around a bit and Henry saw 2 sets of Domo kun Figurines which he later went back and bought.

On the first week of Hong Kong, we went to Mong Kok Shopping, Disneyland, Dinner with Henry's family at TST, Avenue Of Stars, Ocean Park with my cousin Masao and NP360 :) We didn't really go crazy on shopping, but we did go crazy on eating! We were eating almost 5-6 meals a day! hahahaha! :) We even went to Buffet TWICE in two weeks!!

On the second week, we went to Macau, The peak & Wax Museum, Chimelong, Shenzhen for massage & more MK shopping! We also went to visit my Grandparent's grave, which was nice because I haven't gone there in a long time & it was special cos Henry came with me.

On sunday, 6th November, it was my cousin's wedding day. She had her ceremony at Eden Garden, Kowloon Tong. And reception dinner at this Chinese restaurant at  New Century Shopping Centre in MongKok. It was a beautiful day, gathered with family and friends, my cousin looked stunning. I almost cried the moment they made their vows. It was beautiful.

The dinner was even more interesting, it was the first time in so many years since the cousins all got together. And it was great cos we are all grown up now. We got together and reminisce the old times. My cousins ARE my older brothers and sisters, because I am an only child and I WAS the youngest in the family, we had a really close bond. They always looked after me & I have so much respect & love for them. It was just great being all together again & being with the family. I love my family so much, but it sometimes is a pity that we are all separated in different parts of the world. I actually cried at the end of the night, knowing that I will be flying back to Sydney the next morning & who knows when will be the next time I get to see them again. It was a really emotional moment for me. But I know deep down, that even though we may not be able to see each other so much like we used to when we were young. Our bond and our love for each other will never change.

Anyways, enough with the emotional talk. Here are some pictures from our Hong Kong Trip,
