Foggy Days in Ngong Ping
Today I was supposed to meet my travbuddy friend named Stephanie from USA and also to introduce her to my family. Unfortunately, due to inefficient communication signals, she received my email late. In short, we went on our separate ways. She spent the day in the Peak Tram and continued to Ngong Ping in the afternoon. While, we do the opposite of it :D We went to Ngong Ping first then Peak Tram at night. It went so funny but I know we'll meet some other times my friend.......
Due to the proximity of our hotel to ferry terminal, we took the ferry going to Central via Ferry 7 and transferred to Ferry 6 going to Mui Wo on Lantau Island instead of taking the MTR Express. We prefer thrilling and unusual rides....yay!
From the Mui Wo, we took the bus No. 2 bound to Ngong Ping. It was a zigzag road going up to the mountain where the Tian Tan Buddha Statue is. Quiet feel dizzy but it's a fun ride! A must try I think.
It's all foggy up there when we arrived on the place. We can't even see the face of Buddha and the scenery around.
It seemed cold here but not really that cold even it's foggy but it's better than the scorching sun's heat.

The staircases towards Tian Tan Buddha Statue
Luckily, me and my husband has managed to make it up there :) while my mother and my sister just waited for us downstairs.
After that, we had a walk around the Ngong Ping Village.

Village directory. It's impossible to get lost here since it's just a small area.

The Wishing Tree
Shaolin and Kung Fu Stage Performances that was held the night when we went there. Bad timing I guess and also limited time of stay. How I wish I could witness a spectacular performance of this in the future.
On our way to Tung Chung, we took the Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cable Car for a different experience though its quiet expensive compared to the standard cabin. It costs us 109 HKD (adult) for one single trip using the crystal cabin. It's not just a different experience riding on a crystal cabin but I could say a scariest one yet spectacular.
Here's the couple of pictures that we had.

Quick Getaway with Mom at Manleluag Spring National Park
I rarely get to spend quality one-on-one time with my mom because of my busy schedules and an ocean away from her since I'm working abroad, but we managed to take time off for a much needed mother-daughter bonding time recently at Manleluag Spring National Park, Mangatarem Pangasinan. Two swimming pools of this protected landscape are filled with warm, mountain water that was really soothing to the nerves and soul. So I think Mom would love it! Happy to see her smile that day with all the gorgeous snaps ;) Look Up style according to Mom. :D :D :D We were both really refreshed and rejuvenated after the short dip at the pool, and so glad for the precious time there together! Gonna make it a point to bring her back more often ;) Afterwhich, because we were really close by, we decided to drop by to my mother - in - law's place for a quick snacks and to witnessed the birthday celebration of my husband's niece. Party!!! Party!!! Party!!!
Singapore's Stunning Sculptures
On our way out to the Singapore Botanical Garden, attractions never ends. The views are very amazing which made us to take more photos before it rain. Spotted many freestanding sculptures which adds life and humour to the site's natural grace. FREDERICK CHOPIN, the most eminent Polish composer Overlooking to this was the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, where music enthusiasts regularly gathers there for some orchestral performances. Girl on a Bicycle Girl on a Swing, sculptured by Sydney Harpley, R.A The exuberant "Swing Me Mama" The Swiss Granite Fountain There are more delighted artworks but it seems the rain can't no longer wait for us and so we spent the hours back again in the Botany Centre while waiting for the rain to stop. Spotted different styles of Christmas tree and decors. The Clock Tower of Singapore, a gift from the Patron Lady Yuen - Peng McNeice, December 1998. Christmas spirit is on the air. I was surprised only few people visit this place c
Hotel Lisboa Stopover
It's been a month ago before I have shared to you this - my travel experiences in Macau last 29th of June with my family. Sorry about that guys. I've been pretty busy preparing my students for their upcoming Cambridge examination in Chemistry this October/November. I was assigned to trained them well for their Paper 1, 3 and 5 skills area. Lots of my surprise, all of them were taking my subject and had dropped other subjects like Biology. Well, pretty impressive but hope to God to bless all our hard works and preparations for this examination and get more A* compared to last year...:) Time for break....So thankful for this 12 - day refreshing break. I've got ample time to unload myself for all the paper works, to unwind and also to update my blogs :) As I go along, I'll share with you all the free rides we had experienced in Macau. Try it on your next visit in Macau....it's fun! ************************************************************************************
