Hong Kong Day 1 – Kowloon Sunday, 13 June 10
Jacelyn • Filed under: Travel • 12:00 pm

The plan for this trip came when I won two nights stay via Wotif’s Christmas promo. Boss has been telling me that he die die also wanna go Hong Kong and I had to push back my plans for Taiwan.
But since he’s paying for the air tickets, why not?
Unfortunately, this mafan guy gave me more problems. He’s unable to take more than 3 days of leave and have to travel on Vesak Day. I have no choice but to book Tiger Airways, which is damn shitty. Major sian.

One of the worst airlines ever, I called their customer service hotline on that very morning to ensure that our flight doesn’t delay. Guess what happened? The flight details printed on the booking confirmation was WRONG!
The correct flight should be TR2964/TR2965 and not TR2924/TR2925. I explained to the lady over the phone that it’s being printed as TR2924 on my paper. She told me that it’s impossible. I asked her if she’s telling me that either I am BLIND or I can’t read numbers. She still insisted that it’s impossible and all along, the flight is TR2964/TR2965.
Nevermind, I gave up arguing with this bitch.
No wonder they have a “fan page” dedicated to them.
Just when you thought that my problems with Tiger Airways ended here, you are wrong. When I was about to unpack, I realized that someone had changed/reset the security pin on my luggage!
I had no idea who did such an unscrupulous act but I presume that someone must have tried to pry open my luggage.
Wanna go on Tiger Airways? Think twice.
Hokay, enough about ranting.

We had lunch at T2 and boss happily hogged my iPhone.

Camwhore while waiting for our flight at Budget Terminal. They used to have tons of cockroaches roaming around the terminal, thank god they ain’t there anymore.

Cheapo looking terminal.

Took a second look at our flight details.

And then, we boarded the plane.

Super uncomfy seats. I had backache after I alighted from the plane.

Don’t know which woman left her period stains here. Ewww!

We managed to survive in the shitty plane and arrived in Hong Kong!

Took a cab to our hotel which cost us SGD50+.

Our hotel!

Architects designed this hotel with an optical illusion. Amazing isn’t it?
We then proceeded to our room, feeling all excited.

Plushy bed! Mad happy!

Dining area.

Mini kitchen.

Awesome plasma.

Full length mirror. Great for vain people like me!

Day bed. Shiok!

Got microwave oven somemore!

The most important item – BATHTUB!

Spanking clean bathroom!

Splendid view just across our room.

After unpacking, we headed out in search of food and I spotted this cute-looking dog. Nearly kidnapped it back to Singapore.

They even brought their dogs to 7-11!

We found this cha chan teng nearby and settled for dinner.

Wanton noodle shop.

The wontons were extremely succulent! HEE HEE!

We strolled around the area and headed back to snuggle in bed and soak ourselves in the bathtub. SHIOK!
Stay tuned for Day 2!

In Italy, owners bring their dogs everywhere. You could even see dogs in Shopping centers
Thanks Jacelyn for the post!
is there a monorail service to bring you to budget terminal from T2?
rinaz: Ah, I guess SG is more stringent in this.
Cheryl: Yes, just look out for the sign that says “bus to budget terminal”. It’s a bus service, not monorail.
hi jacelyn and cheryl,
i didnt know there’s a bus to t3/budget terminal. but i do remember taking a monorail/LRT-like to T3 to eat popeyes with my friends.
I exited from Changi Airport MRT, onto the escalator, walked past the burger king @ T2 and did a left turn. there’s this monorail service..
are we talking about the same transport?
(no offence intended though)
Hi Jacqueline, no worries. Budget terminal and T3 are located at different places. Yes, there’s a monorail service to T3 but for budget terminal, you need to take the bus. Hope this clarifies.
oh is it?
omg-ness. i really thought t3 and the budget terminal – both refer to the same place!
only travelled out of singapore twice in 22 years of life. i must have been such a mountain tortoise!! *runs away and hides* :cry:
