Its a Dream Come True!

finally got to Disneyland, a childhood dreamland of mine(it is still now =) )... well..in fact i would actually preferred that in Japan =D haha..i will start saving up for that trip soon.. okie..so this is the special post i mentioned.. well..this is one post i will really do all the description i can.
Morning: Hong Kong Disneyland is actually quite a long distance from the place we stayed in, called Mongkok. So, we the ride took about 45 min to reach there, after taking into account of the speeding coach and spacious expressways. So, when we reached the gateway to the entrance, we didnt have much time to take photos, as we were rushing for our preparation of our performance later. and here's our admission tickets..

and here's the entrance to Disneyland!!

Next, we were in the backstage, setting up insrtuments and tuning up. Photography was not allowed there, as our teachers were 'caught' by the crews..haha.. and a few times too.. Weather was good; sunny day and cool temperature, well..perhaps a bit too sunny.. to comment about the climate there..everything is so good, except that very dry atmosphere. We are not used to their low humidity, and thus, an aweful experience to our drying lips..
and..showtime!!



after our performance, we are free to enjoy our day at Disneyland. First, we went to the Lion King's festival, and took pics along the way..





hmm..cant really recall wad we did next.. but i know we took a couple of rides..


Snow white n her 7 drawfs
and this is Sleeping Beauty's castle..the one we always see from e walt disney logo..



and den, we took the Space station roller coaster ride..it was a very cool experience. this is a indoor roller coaster with graphics stimulation, making the ride of a rocket in outer space quite real. pitch black darkness and then galaxies of stars to admire during the ride. here's the pics of us during the ride. LOL!


and this is the 'Its a small world(after all)'. looks like some toyland to me..


and inside the Royal Banquet Hall


the Sorcerer's Apprentice

and here's our lunch at Skyliner Diner. their chicken are delicious! =) oh..and we ate with hand gloves! haha..we noticed that e people in HK eat fast food with hand gloves..so we joined in the fun too!! the photo nt with me yet..

and den..we do our shopping at this winnie the pooh shop..spent quite some time there, bying many, many things.. everything just looked so adorable and appealing..those cookies tin containers..if i could just grab hold of all of them.. =(
Disney Parade: though the shows start at 5.30pm..the whole street is already crowded like this at 5.10 pm..but still..we manage to get a good spot and i took videos of the parade...uploading of the videos is so troublesome..so i shall skipped it first..
and after the parade..me and debbie embarked on our journey to find the Magical Coin Press! we went around to search these machines at hidden corners...and i was like crazy abt those coins at that time..here are my collections! =D

by 7pm, the sky darkens and the street lamps lit up.. we were given this pair of special specs..that when u used it to see thru lights..u see...

the Fireworks show: that was the best ever fireworks show i've ever watched..those fireworks festival in singapore cant hold a candle to Disneyland's. the sychronisation of the sparks and the music was just splendid! the timing was very precise! the effects were just awesome and one can understand all the sparkles that lit up in the sky..the disneyland crews do not need to tell u wad each feature potrays.. zzzZZzzz.. im still dreaming of that fireworks scenery.. lucky i still got record the display, and to keep refreshing my dream..hahaa.. i may post the pics of the fireworks in the next post den..

About the trip: The weather in Hong Kong is very cold now..and most of the time it was abt 13 degrees - cold! weather was very dry there..and everyone's lips were all burning.. so it sort of affect our performance..there are just too many things to say abt HK.. the roads are bumpy since there are so many mountainous areas, every stretch of expressways seems like a roller coaster track, traffic is damn busy, we jay-ran the roads cos cars there dun wait for pple, taxis speed at any chnace they have, have dim sum almost every morning, which is very oily... the desserts in LUucky Dessert is very nice with a huge serving.



Yummy Mango Sago!
Abt the places we visited:
1) Victoria Peak - some 600+ metres above the sea level..the temperature there is really cold.. with strong winds and cold air.. but a beautiful night scenery awaits us..the night view of the buildings was very nice..i took quite a no. of photos of tt..

2) wax Museum - many celebrities and important people were there as our 'models'.. i took with Ayumi, Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp, Princess Diana and..many many more.. even our mentor minister, Mr Lee, was there.. Ayumi!
3) exchange with some schools - the HKIEED, a university, another sec sch and primary sch.. we even get to see the rehearsal of a orchestra from Shanghai..they were very nice..extending their invitation to us to be part of their rehearsals..
