Ocean Park, Hong Kong

Growing up in a family watching HK-TVB cantonese series with all the children mentioning about how much they wannt to visit Ocean Park (that's before the launch of Disneyland), I got to see this place.

Since I've missed the fun of Ocean Park when I was a kid, I rewarded myself by sacrificing a day in HK for the park visit.
I was quite dissapointed "how ancient" this place has turned into, worst part, they are in the midst of 'refurbishing' with construction all over.


Same thing like Disneyland, I had lunch and took picture with the mascot, except that, there is not much crowd here as compared to Disneyland.



We need to queue up to take the cable car to the other side where we see the seals, dolphins, sea creatures, and the park rides.

What I liked most is the huge aquarium with hundreds of different species swimming.

I would say the cable car ride experience was thrilling.
If you are afraid of height, better dont' look down, as we would see only hills and seas.



The much awaited dolphin show was quite a dissapointment as it was less than 30 minute show.
I think their techniques had not changed much.
Yes, they were good, but I think I expected TOO much.



There was a section for Park Rides.
Since my sis was not interesting in all these rides, I tried all these all by myself :P
And good thing that it was a week day, there isn't much queue.



The abyss is something like Genting's Solero Space shot, so it was not THRILLING AT ALL!

Eagle view - or something like that...
It was spinning round and round that I myself got myself spinning.


Entertainers and my last visit to say bye-bye to panda.


Before exiting the park, I jumped on the trampoline (which I think meant for kids :P)

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...

Vacation nightmare

I was dreaming as if I was in Sentosa. The beach was beautiful and I tried capturing the scenery with my digicam. Sunset was colorful. We were in the closed up area and a few of my friends and I began to pose while getting the staff to take pics for us. We posed quite long for them. Shots don't seem to be good. The scene suddenly changed into a bedroom scene with my sis. There was a great disaster. The enemies had come. With just one blow from his mouth, the bridge was changed into wooden bridge (like Terabithia). They came to destroy by placing the bottle of ketchup (what the??!?) at every spot. We tried to strategize. OOps......... and the dream just died.

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.
