Finally... In the mood (and time) of writing a long post with photos attached (all will make you salivate, so do not read this if you're currently hungry :p). Time always slipped away quietly, passing day by day. Although it was my 3rd time going Hong Kong but I was really looking forward to it cause' it has been such a long time since a whole complete family of mine going for a vacation. I've always missed the time when I was young, when the whole family goues for vacation every year-end when we were all having school holidays. Don't know since when, the routine stopped due to school exams/work/getting married/having baby. The last trip we went together was definitely more than 5 years ago (oh, how I wish I'm a kid again!)
It was a wrong move to do free and easy tour with parents around cause' we were making them walking shooo much, taking public transports (can't deny that the MTR and buses were really convenient). First and second day were spent at the city never sleeps - Macau. I've always liked Macau for its beautiful night lights, and comfortable small city where everything's just around the corner. And of course, not to forget their famous Portuguese tarts and double-steamed milk pudding! The rest of the week were spent at the shopping paradise - Hong Kong! (but sadly, I didn't shopped till I dropped, instead walked till' my legs almost broke). Again, Hong Kong is a place with lotsa of good foodies - from dim sum breakie to wanton noodles to late night snacks and mouth-watering desserts.

[Jan 26th - 31st 2013] My long-awaited family vacation post comes to an end, wishing there's more to come. Hopefully baby Ethan will be able to join the next one, and hopefully I won't need to wait too long for it to happen again.
