Love Santa Fe

Angela Aki is back with her stunning voice and inspiring piano playing. She make a remarkable appearance in her recent live performance in Shibuya concert, Japan, promoting her latest album "Answer", featured one of the local hits in Japan such as Tegami. Gosh... she got us so much to envy about!

This song - Tegami touched many hearts of the youngsters in Japan. The music is basically about a 15 year old boy who wrote a letter to himself ( "the future" himself at the age 30), and then when he reached 30, he found he letter and replied to the 15 year old boy... something like that. In this song, Angela Aki conveyed a strong message to youngster with the music and of course her delicate yet powerful unwavering vocal, which made this Tegami became a top notch on the list =)



Anyway, here is another one of my favourite song and music addicts from Angela!

Santa Fe <3

This song drawn my attention instantly! with its fresh jazz theme, a new flavour in her music records, I never thought she could pulled off jazz which is something not quite familiar to her. But I think the song turns out great! It's overflowing! I really think this song is sexy, and I love it! Fav... enjoy~ ^^

Malaysian et Macau

After some wonderful time spent in Hong Kong, we took the ferry to Macau. My sister and myself haven't been to Macau before, so this will be something new that will burn deeply in our memory. I was quite excited in the early morning, but after boarding that sea-sickening ferry, I try sleeping for the whole journey to prevent feeling sick and vomitting later :P. After approximately an hour, at last I finally standing on solid stationary ground. It feels good to move those toes again ;D

This is one of the nicest / best hotel i ever stayed throughout my travel experience! It has 2 level of commercial industrial ground with almost 100 shops! It feels like I was entering a mall instead. Gondola rides for families/couples are available here as well!

Malaysia et Hong Kong

HONG KONG
The forever hectic city of Hong Kong!
Once again, I find myself traveling to Hong Kong, though there's numerous visits in the past few years, it never fails to arouse our interest and excitement. This time we planned to enjoy optimum favourable sales and discounts they had to offer during this year end sales and festive season. Once we set foot on HK, the shopaholic attitude begins as we search and hunt for items value for money $$...

The tallest building in Hong Kong

Bank of China :the building on the left, next to it is Citi Bank Plaza


Inside on of the shopping mall's super market =)

Some of the mandatory tourist attractions you must visit in HK =)

Statue Square



City Hall

Well, there's nothing much in City Hall actually, only some random exhibition - which is Chinese ink painting at that time :P. But there is a must try food when you got here: Xiao Long Bao.

Yummilicious!
The best Xiu Long Bao I ever tasted in one of the dim sum restaurant inside City Hall, People already start queuing even before it opens
(I knew cause I was there =)

Huge chandelier O.o

Ladies Market


This bustling market in Tung Choi Street, also known as Ladies Street, is famous for low price souvenirs, clothing and accessories. My mum bargain hard for some great buys, which she was so happy about the items she bought after the first time, she request us to change of plans and go there for a second buy!

SOHO

Another famous street for tourist to do their shopping activities! It doesn't offer as cheap as Ladies Market because all items here are branded and ORIGINAL not imitated. If you're searching for quality goods, here's a good place to start =)

Our dinner in SOHO...
The duck is extremely exquisite xP

Temple Street

The night market in Temple Street is full of exotic charm and intrigue. This colourful market comes to life every evening at around 6pm and it offers a large selection of goods. As you come across Tin Hau Temple as you shop, you can spot many Fortune Tellers setting up their stalls nearby as you passed by. Even with cheap prices offered by vendors, bargain is still a must for every item you eyed to buy. Remember cheap doesn't necessarily denotes inferior goods! =)

Lan Kwai Fong
Lan Kwai Fong is one of the streets in HK that brings out the carnival-like atmosphere! It is one of the main entertainment districts in HK with massive variety of restaurants serve cuisine from around the world! The wind also bring rumors saying many Hong Kong superstars favourite late night leisure place - Lan Kwai Fong! If you're lucky enough, you may spot a few walking around or drinking in bars.

The Peak Tram


There was some changes made in our activities schedule that our ride in a tram to the peak of HK had adjourned to later that night. We were all anxious to get up there ASAP to unlock our curiosity as this will be our very first time seeing the colours and lights of HK city! We got up to the upper terminus at The Peak Tower and Peak Galleria, which is the highest deck permitted for tourist to access, and thats how the picture of HK city view above came about ;D

The night view was splendid =)
Glad we went there at night

Ocean Park

On our last day staying in HK, we spend casual times enjoying rides and performences in our final destination on the list - Ocean Park. I must say they certainly has developed some new attractions and entertainment outlets from what I can remember during my last visit.
