Hong Kong Day 01 - 16 May 2013
took us a while to find the shop where we were supposed to collect the keys to the apartment booked through wimdu. thank you dear for braving the rain to come back with the keys. *muacks* the place was within expectations, especially with the recent negative reviews, i was sort of prepared for the worst. however, besides the musky smell that lingers in the room (we bought air freshener x2 as they were on offer at wellcome), it is not too bad considering the price we paid.
please do not ask me why we ate at 三哥 again. i believe this is a must have for dear each time we visit hong kong and there is a high chance of having it more than once. =P
dear was so happy that the iron man exhibition is still on at hysan place. it is organised by hot toys and there is a similar one at bugis junction, singapore.

a very interesting life style store which we chanced upon last december (located opposite hysan place, near times square). both of us like the place as it has loads of ideas for home decoration. we would probably be back early next week for purchase. =)
weather was still drizzly and we headed to mong kok for our toys hunt. took tung chung line as i wanted to check out the original 添好运 outlet that had relocated from mong kok to olympian city 2. to those singaporeans who queued for the awesome dim sum at plaza singapura, why queue for hours? *smirk* no doubt it is still my favourite dim sum place, i personally find it not worthwhile to physically queue for 2-3 hours to get a seat. they should implement the system of giving out numbers and allowing customers to come back at an approximate timing as practiced in hong kong. much as i was tempted, we proceeded to visit the toy stores 1st.
we walked through 女人街, CTMA centre, richmond shopping arcade and ended off empty handed which was surprising. it was quite a disappointment as iron man related items were sold out or over-priced and there were no good deals. it was already 830pm and i decided to go for dinner either at 添好运 (if it was not closing any time soon) or any available food stall in causeway bay.
was pretty glad that i managed to have my favourite dim sum for dinner on the very 1st day, without having to queue. *grins*
countdown to wedding day : 176
