love mi hk day 3

day 3 started at 8.30a.m. today, only rachel, chingching and i. we went to search for a place i saw in a local travel programm. it is on duddell street in hk island. this flight of stairs is kinda famous. many of the older generation's celebrities had filmed their music videos on these steps. and these 4 gas lamps, they are the only remaining ones in hk. they are turned on automatically from 7p.m. to 6a.m. daily.
next to this flight of stairs, there is a starbucks coffee. but this starbucks outlet is slightly different from the others in hk. this one is decorated in the 60s style cafe. it was very quiet when we reached so i had a chance to go to every corner of the shop to take photos.

this shop also serves 3 special pastries- pineapple bun coffee flavoured, coffee egg tart and hazelnut and coffee roll. you cannot get them in other starbucks. the pineapple bun was very good. it was so soft and with the butter, it was heavenly. that is my fav among the three.

we then wemt to apm, a mall in kwun tong. it is quite new and kinda big. but the building layout is kinda strange. it is quite difficult to go explore every shop without making a u-turn. the place was full of locals because it was a saturday and a public holiday.

the mall decoration here is quite messy but andy lau came to launch it i think. see the white and black doll, those are andy's dolls.
chingching and i have sweet tooth....how do you resist these beautiful mochis? those under the glass display are fake ones. we got 6 of different flavours and they were all equally good. it is better eaten cold. all mochis have fillings and cream in them.
lunch was at red ant restaurant....it was at 3p.m. the portion was very filling and i could not finish mine. it was the baked rice.
did some shopping here and these are what i got:

new mizuno running shoes. nice or not? wanted to get nike's but they did not have my size. nike was on sale. this pair of mizuno only had 10% discount but it should be cheaper than in malaysia. not more than rm250.

jet asked me to help him look for a backpack...and i got one from quicksilver. 50% discount and it is new arrival. it is less than rm100. what a deal.

aaah...my fav lou por peng, wife cake. they have this brand in apm. i dun like the other brands.

then before going back to the hotel, went to yung kee in central again to takeaway a roast goose to bring home to malaysia. man it was expensive. hk$420 for one goose. dad did not scold me....so i guess it is acceptable lah.

no proper dinner again that night. chingching and i had dumpling in soup takeaway and that was it. anyway, we still had mochi and i was still very full from the earlier lunch.
and here are the photos taken in the concert hall that night. my seat was also quite far...sob sob.

there were less signs this time around. last time, fans from different parts of the world would hold up light signs informing her what country they were from.


this platform was dropped from the roof.
ok not a very beautiful shot but she could really shake hard. ;P
special guest- andy hui aka ex-boyfriend of 10 years. sammi was kinda awkward but andy was all right.
oh....this photo and the following few are in a sequence. sammi was getting ready to make a back fall down to the hole.
this third show was not as good as the second one. her voice was again hoarse.
well, that ended my adventure at love mi 2009. went back to the hotel after watching her come out of the stadium again. then it was packing and packing and packing. gosh. had to use jet's new bag too. we slept at around 1a.m.
