Day 5 - Hotel Panorama, Citygate outlets, Symphony of lights.

Checked out and left our luggage at the hostel reception.

Happy because we are moving!

enough of small and squeezy room.

But I was worried about moving too bcos my luggage is really heavy and bulky by day 5. lol.

It's a sunday morning and raining.

Had breakfast at Australia Dairy Co at Jordon.

Man, had to queue!

love the french toast and they sell the kind of breakfast i like. (:

Shopped for a few minutes at the stalls at Bao ling Street.

Then back to hostel for our luggage.

MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui.

Luckily the hotel was situated right next to the TST MTR exit,

if not duno how to da bao xiao bao walk in the rain. hehe.

We were led up to level 39 to check in for club habourview guest,

took the bullet lift, it's exclusive and fast!

Then while they process our check in,

we were told to rest in the executive lounge.

aey look at the view, how can one not be excited?

Then the executive lounge also very nice,

under this kind of circumstances,

here's what a normal girl will do..

SGD40 per night, feel like maid.

why we cannot afford to stay in such room everyday. lol!

after we got enough of admiring,

we MTR to Tung Chung.

Seriously behind our schedule bcos we cant bear to leave the room!

Plan was to go Lantau Island by taking cable car,

but cable car stopped working bcos there was thunderstorm warning :(

So we went citygate outlet shopping instead.

went back to see if cable car resumed service,

then very happy to see that they're moving and thought of taking the crystal cabin.

means our feet will rest on a piece of see through glass?

imagine how wobbly my legs can get, cable car over the mountains. lol.

BUT, the person say the temple close le, and very thick mist cannot see big buddha, SAD.

In the end decided that we shall go again on day 7.

Back to TST for symphony of lights at 8pm.

rested at the lounge while waiting.

chose this cosy corner.

with our cocktail and snacks.

Felt hot and floaty after that drink. lol.

Went up to the roof level.

we went up to search for the lights.

WHERE GOT SYMPHONY OF LIGHTS??

Cannot see one! only got 2 green beams and thats it.

We faster took shelter and ate there.

Bought some snacks and back to hotel.
