The Monday Blues are Gone, Says the Camera :)

Hey guys!

It's picture time :)
I've been hanging alot around the lenses of the camera, snapping pictures away :)
My iTouch camera quality isn't good though. It's always blur. I need an upgrade in my Apple devices ;D

iPhone 4, daddy?
He said NO :(

Back to the topic!
OHNOES. This picture is so puny! It's not suppose to be that way, but oh wells! These are the cupcakes made for my Dad's 49th birthday. Soon, he's gonna turn Sweet 50 :P It's Red Velvet, my favorite cupcake flavor. Frosted with cream cheese and topped with fresh raspberries. All homemade.

I look so silly in the picture xP Love my Etude House Eyeliner <3
Morning selcas. Uggh, my bare face. I didn't notice how long my hair grew so fast!
Tackling the skills of fish-braiding my hair. It's a bit tough for now, practicing till I become an expert in fish-braiding.
Cinnamon Rolls on the menu for breakfast! :) Yummy! Mom's baking is always the best. But I don't know why she ain't happy with it :/
That's all for now!

HK Disneyland: Part 2: Dining

Back with Part 2 of my HK trip! :)

FINALLY :)
I'm sorry I can't post these pictures according to the days because I totally got mixed up with which picture belonged to which day (as in Day 1 or Day 2).
So I'm just gonna post this like a travel journal or guide :P

DINING :D
Hopping from one ride to another made our tummy rumble, here's the food guide :)

The entrance of It's A Small World :D
(I'm the one facing the camera.)

After the ride we went to the ice-cream shack just right next to the ride to order some refreshments :) Grace, Rachel and I got Coke slushies. They served ice-creams but we decided to go with something different and fizzy.
I'm a big fan of Coke slushies!

Grace with her Coke slushie :) Pretty smile!

Meanwhile, Sammy (a HUGE fan of ice-cream) got strawberry ice-cream.
Grace and Sammy feeding the adorable sparrows the leftovers of his ice-cream cone.
By the way, there are always so many sparrows chirping and hopping around the park, they are so cute! ^^

After more rides and shows, it was time for lunch. Okay, I'm certain this was the food we ate for lunch on the first day.
We ate at the Royal Banquet Hall.
The Royal Banquet Hall served food like Japanese Noodles, Dim Sum, pizza, beef burgers, sushi and grilled steak (these are just some of the food they sell there).

Samuel requested for his all time favorite, Japanese Soba (Buckwheat) Noodles. He was happily slurping away :)
Me in the pink jacket with my messy bun. Grace on the right drinking her soup.
I ordered Rice with Pork slices, if I'm not mistaken. It was yummy, like home-cooked food, more towards the Asian cooking.
Grace ordered Mickey Mouse Pizza. I don't know if that's what you call it. But look at the shape of it! Everything's Mickey Mouse shaped in Disneyland, including the food. There are Mickey Mouse shaped jellies, waffles, pancakes, pizzas and croutons! I think there are more Mickey Mouse shaped food but sadly I never got to try all of them.
Samuel slurping ;D

These are some pictures of our Buffet Breakfast.
We ate breakfast at The Chef Mickey's Restaurant in Hollywood Hotel.
The spread was good, lots of varieties of food.
Not to mention, lots of Mickeys :P

Piggy Pau a.k.a Steam Bun
so cute

Rachel smiling for the camera.

See the Waffle? Isn't it cute? If you ever dine in Chef Mickey's. Go for the waffles. All four of us kids had second helpings. The bacon and baked beans were yummy too. But I think the waffles were the main highlight.

That's the end of today's tour.
I'm sorry for such little pictures
Too busy eating I guess :p
The next time I visit somewhere, I'll be sure to snap better pictures and make better posts.
Till next time!

(P.S, There will still be a Part 3)

Friday Entry and What's in the Box?

Waddup people!

SO how was your day?

This is what I did:
Nothing.

I meant that seriously but nothing meant lying around and fiddling with my hair. Plus watching a bunch of videos on YouTube and snapping some pictures.

SINCE I was so bored, I decided to do an entry on what's in my jewelry box!

I got frustrated when I turned on my laptop. Had to wait for 15-25 minutes for the laptop to do some system check or something. Eek ><

Okay! Back to the Jewelry Section!
This box was my Mother's. It's pretty old. She had this when she was a teenager. But I love it! I think it's rustic and cute :)
Today, I'm just gonna show you the FIRST level :)
I wore this earring today :) It was a gift from a very dear aunt of mine. It was meant for my mom but she doesn't have pierced ears so... I guess it's mine now :p It's very pretty!
Closeup :)Emptied out the box and arranged them neatly! :)

I love this pair! This is actually the first pair of dangling earrings I got. I thought it was super cute 'cos I am a big fan of Piglet :)
This is actually my older sister's. A gift from our favorite Uncle, he got it from the gospel bookshop, yes they sell earrings too! :)
This is mine :) I treasure this a lot 'cos this is a birthday gift I got last year from my BFF, Abby :)
This is my sister's, it was her first pair of dangling earring. It was a birthday present from our Aunt Sonia :) From Denni, as you can see :D
This is my mother's, it's very elegant. I love pearls!
The final set of accessories! The little souveniers I got from HK Disneyland! I will include them win my HK Disneyland post too :)

I got this brooch or is it badge? I'll just call it a brooch. I got this on my first trip to HK Disneyland (I went 2 times, coolios :D) There were so many choices of brooches to pick from but I went with Slinky the Dog from Toy Story because it has a little spring which I thought was the most unique among the rest. But no, I'm not a big fan of Slinky, I actually prefer Ham, the pig :P

My sister's. They're lovely but a little heavy :P

The first pair of earrings we (both my sister and I, we share) got. These are super adorable! My mom found this in one of the many gifts shop in Main Street USA. We love Chip and Dale so we just had to have it. It comes with an additional pair of earring, the orange diamond thingy :P

So that concludes the tour of the What's In The Box, Level 1. Will post a new post for Level 2 soon :)

But wait! Don't leave! Before I say Ta-ta, I just wanna show you what my Mom bought today.
Chibi Maruko Bags!
Chibi Maruko is a famous Japanese cartoon. I LOVE her! My sister and I have been big fans of her since I was 6 or 7? And my sister, since she was 8 or 9 :p
Anyways we LOVVEEEEE her!
So my mother spotted this red authentic bag in the flea market and she bought it! Yippeee! I love the color, it's very authentic and the main color of Chibi Maruko, so great buy great buy!

This one is the mini bag specially for water bottles or flasks. It doesn't come with the other bag though, my mom had to buy it separately. It ain't a combo set or something :P
Love them!
So cute! I bring food from home for recess at school. So I could use this as a snack bag or something.

Have you heard of Chibi Maruko Chan? :)

Time to say goodbye now :)

have a great weekend!! (I updated my sidebar with new giveaways, check it out :))

HK Disneyland: Part 1: Welcome to HK Disneyland

So finally here's my delayed post about my trip to Hong Kong Disneyland last Christmas! I'll be posting this is parts. So this is part 1! Titled; Welcome to Hong Kong Disneyland!
The first sign you'll see at the long walk to the main entrance of the park. I felt SUPER EXCITED when I saw this sign the first day of the whole trip (I went to the park for 2 days :D) The moment you step down from the shuttle bus (that takes you to the park), Disney songs start playing everywhere, even in the washrooms! There's such a strong magical feeling in Disneyland, that I just LOVE :)

Let the magic begin! :)

Reached the famous Mickey and Friends mountain. Mickey is basically on the top of the blowhole of the whale, then water squirts up, lifting Mickey. I love this fountain!

This picture is IN the park. Look at the really tall and BEAUTIFUL Christmas tree! :)

Love how the building leans against the blue blue sky. It was a good day!

Okay, this is OUTSIDE the park. Sorry for the crazy sequence :P This is where we reached the ticketing counter and the entrance counter (where the security team checks your bags so that no one brings something illegal like a BOMB and BOMB the whole place down xD) It was quite a long walk to the entrance!

The four of us, feeling rather tired after the long walk to the entrance :P TIP: Come EXTRA early!! Otherwise you'll have to take a long walk PLUS wait in the LOOOOONG queue to enter.


Now on to the rides! (We did rush to rides and shows because we didn't want to wait in line for very long. The crowd would normally come in mid-morning so we rushed to rides earlier so we could play over and over again before the crowd arrived.)

I forgot the exact name of this show. But it's the best show in the park.
Roughly, I may be correct after all, this is Mickey's Philharmagic 3D!
This 3D show is simple awesome. You have got to watch it if you ever visit HK Disneyland.
I can't show you shots of the show because STRICTLY NO Cameras allowed :(
Me, my older sister and Grace posing with our 3D Glasses :P I'm the one on the left, can't see my face :P This was taken a few minutes before the show. The doors won't be opened immediately so we have to wait outside.
After the show ended.
It was SPINNING time :)
Mad Hatter's Spinning Tea Cups
Okay, this used to be my favorite ride but this trip, I felt really sick really fast. I was still spinning even after the ride ended. I felt really sick ><
I just love the colors of the cups! They remind me of Easter eggs :P

After several rides on other mini games like The Buzz Lightyear Lazer Gun game thingy we decided to take a stroll as the crowd had come rushing in like a swam of bees :P P.S, if you come extra early as in probably 8:45 am or something. It depends on the time they open. I'm not sure about this but I think the park opens in different times in different seasons. So anyway, if you come early (before the huge crowd), you can play games without having to queue for like...11 rounds of each ride. Yes! That's a lot :P

BACK to the stroll. Snapped some pics here and there. This is the day view of the lovely Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Picture perfect.
Since it was Christmas, they set up a small area of stores (you can't actually go in). I think it's called Duffy's (Disney's bear mascot :P) Village or something. So you can take pictures outside these decorations. But you can't go in, 'cos there's basically nothing inside :P
The pretty flowers by Duffy's Village. What I love about Disneyland is that they create such a magical atmosphere. There's always lovely flowers everywhere. A+ for their landscaping!
While walking, a mini band parade was performing! :) The band actually goes around the whole park playing their trombones and trumpets and everything. So joyful! :)
I'm so sorry, but this will be the end of part 1!
I need to retrieve more pictures from my cameras. I will DEFINITELY put up Part 2! Perhaps tomorrow, but ASAP :)
xoxo
