Starting the first day of 2026 at Disneyland!!

Image
  Jan 1st, 2026 It's the first day of 2026. After midnight's turn of events filled with uncontrollable laughter - which unbelievably was only a matter of hours ago -, today will be the last day of Tito Ram, Tita Pretty, Mamu and Cubby's time in Hongkong. They'll be leaving to go to the airport and to return  back  home in Thailand.  I give all of my family members who are returning home a tight embrace. The memories we'd made, the late night conversations, the tiredness we'd all been through together, it comes flooding in my mind. We exchange our goodbyes, and it feels so hard just to stand there and watch them leave. And I can sense that Ninang and Mum are feeling a similar emotion. * Mum, Ninang and I glance at each other after the train ride from our hotel, as if we're all telepaths, and can distinctively tell what we're analysing. The familiar crowds that are formed is what ticks us all off.  This is going to take forever just to get inside... * Des...

A New Years Eve spent in Hongkong!!

Image
December 31st, 2025 - Prologue, before main events * When Mum mentioned about the breakfast buffet   , it was excruciatingly hard to hide my enthusiasm over it. I beam ed as I enter Cafe Circles, fists out with a silent "Yess!" with the sight of food. I c ould eat an elephant. As usual, there is an assortment of pastries, toast, with choices of jam and spreads to go along with it. My eyes trail over to the Asian section, and my mouth is drooling just right about now. Porridge, soups, fried rice, but the main prize of all... "I'M GETTING TTEOK-BOKKI."  As a proud Asian, I stride over to the steaming pot of tteokbokki, grab myself a piping hot bowl of it, get back to my table, and consume it. This particular cycle continues before coming into the realization that... Several bowls of tteok-bokki later... " Uhm, guys? I think I ate too much tteok-bokki." I sheepishly admit as I pat my stomach, and all I get is a disapproving look from Mum. Fair enough ...

Exploring Disney Explorers Lodge with my family ⋆ ๐™š ̊

Image
December 29, 2025 (back to Hongkong from Macau) แฏ“➤ Disney Explorers Lodge Th ey provided complimentary bus ride taking us to the Disney Explorers Lodge in the afternoon Disneyland view before the park's grounds "Oh my goodness."  My jaw has dropped onto the floor. From where I stand, an over towering Christmas Tree brightens the expanse of the lobby. The lobby, being an "explorer's" theme, has people wandering around but ever so calmly, with a low hum of chatter. I already know what to expect from this. "Guys, let's take a photo first!!" Breaking out of my overused smile, my eyes are all over the place faster than I can even think. "This place looks so grand and expensive!" Tito Ram, astounded, remarks.  I exclaim a "yes" in agreement. But my mind is still shifted to the view I now see from where I'm standing.  Mum walks over to me, and briefly goes over what's going to happen next. "We get to check in now?? YE...

Trip in Macau, China with my family เซฎ₍˃ ⤙˂ ₎แƒ!

Image
Despite the duration of the whole journey to Macau, China being one hour away, that boat ride really took us out, because when we took a seat and the next thing I knew, I'd apparently dozed off and was no longer at Hongkong, but at Macau. After disembarking the seacraft, my family and I collectively decided that coincidently, all of us were craving one sweet drink in particular. Chewy, refreshing boba tea. But that also meant getting the real deal. We'd actually get to try authentic boba tea freshly made here in Macau.  We take a seat after finalising the restaurant we'd eat in as the electric fan blesses us with precious air.  "I'm dying right now..." I say.  "Same." Mum moans. Since we were all parched, mouth-watering while daydreaming of the noodles that'd be served to us soon, the waiting time was 10 times more excruciating than it already was.  And finally, Tita Pretty picks up our drink, and places it in front of me. Eagerly, I snatch the s...
