Celebrity-heat in Madame Tussauds HK.

finally, some time to spare for a post! I've been busy like a bumblebee since I'm back from HK...

Then, I get bored with my template and changed one! That's why it's been locked lately.

you've enjoyed and then you need to pay the consequences :P I'm not complaining here. I lurve how life getting busy and tense...then get a time-off within for some self-reward moments.

HK is definitely one of those moments... =)

Back to where I stopped. We charged ourselves for only 4 hours during the flight.. still, we're only half-charged. =.= I looked miserable in the photos..so dun expect too much of 'me' in it. LOL!

gear-up and ready to shoot! ^^

We bought the Airport Express Travel Pass cost HK$300, inclusive of a return journey of Airport Express and 3-days of unlimited travel for MTR. Also, a HK$50 refundable deposit if you return the pass. I will recommend you to choose this package..although you may travel more than 3 days but for my case, I travel via MTR the most for the first 3 days. For the remaining days, you may buy the Tourist Day Pass cost HK$55 for 1 day of unlimited travel or the normal Octopus card (just like our touch-n-go prepaid concept)

@Airport Express train shows the journey indicator...

in Kowloon and reaching HK soon~~~ =)

After that we headed to our first hotel, Charterhouse in Causeway Bay. Although it's a 3-star hotel, but comforting enough for both of us to sleep tight. :P Of cz, if you're aiming for a budget stay, Hong Kong Island won't be your best choice. That'll be in Kowloon area.

The bed looks so comfortingly inviting that how I wished I get to doze-off for just a second. But I'm not going to waste my trip by pigging. =p So here we had a quick bath and get going to our first destination -- The Peak aka Madame Tussauds's wax museum.

First, we need to take a MTR ride to Central Station and a 15mins walk to THe Peak Tram station. @.@ Then you'll see all sky-high building surrounded around..

(left to right)

That's the Bank of China Tower and Asia Pacific Finance Tower.

Don't be afraid you'll be lost during this 15-mins walk. Just look for the signs!

Yeap, we're getting closer.....

On our way, I spotted a Catholic church - St. Joseph's Church. :)

*if i remember it well enough..hehe*

It only cost you a total of HK$190 for return ride of the Peak Tram + Madame Tussauds entrance + a great niteview at Sky Terrace. That's the combo I took. :)

Up up here we go~the ride was really steep...

I must say the wax statues are really quite impressive. It's full figure and they have all the exact details of an actual person. Some maybe looks quite fake...like Jay Chow. I at first can't recognize him..and I find it difficult to shoot in a low-light environment without a flash-gun. Direct flash will ruin all the photos of the wax statues. =.=

Here's some of my fave picks from the huge stack of photos~

Nicole Kidman, always well-dressed and elegant. =)

Janice Wei Lan is spectacular with her costume.

One special thing is that you can twist the key and like a music-box, Janice will be turning along with the rhythm of her song. :) Just happen that the children keep turning the key and I have hard time to get her photo in static. LOL!

Hi Hitler with a more 'modernized' style :P

I wonder how 'detailed' is the wax statue made...Do they covered ALL the tattoos that Angelina Jolie had? Revealed and hidden parts? hehehe..

I think the most realistic statue will be Bae Yong Jun, the famous Si-Lai aka Aunty killer in Winter Sonata, with his significant signature smile~

I don't really recognize him at my first glance... =.="

Princess Diana, everyone loves her! :)

Her dress collections are superb...

'To be, or not to be!'

Who wants to buy this painting?! Bid from RM10 =P

The infamous 'Steven-Boy' =P

The actual 'Blue' energy 'newly-landed' at the museum~Astro Boy!

Can't wait for the movie!

-tally vs shortie-

I never knew Dao Ming is THAT tall until i saw the statue...OMG~

'siew bak chang!' oops, that of cz not her all-time greatest hitz. :P

But nobody can beats her voice...

Einstein might be the reason to all my blur cases (mong cha cha)... MC^2

Pierce Brosnan - my all-time favorite James Bond..

I just started using Flickr to post up all my photos..cz of Blogspot resizing all my images.. =.=

hope it doesn't give too much hassle to load the page..hmmmm..still in testing stage.

Okay, have to stop here....need to head to Jusco, preparing my steamboat dinner! hohoho~

next-up, the breath-taking city niteview of Hong Kong! =) *stay with me~*
