Crabs on the Island - Pulau Ketam Trip (27 Oct 2012)

My auntie suggested to visit Pulau Ketam on the weekend, since we were free then we went together with her. Before the trip, I was a bit worried about the weather, as during these few months, almost everyday is a rainy day. Luckily, it didn't rain during that day we visited Pulau Ketam instead it was a pretty hot day during day time. And I forgot to bring my umbrella, so my skin became darker again after the previous Hong Kong trip :(

This is the first time I visited Pulau Ketam, before the trip, I thought the name of this island maybe is just randomly chosen. After I stepped on the island, I fully understood, the name is really matched the island, in fact the island is full of crabs :P

Overall, I enjoyed with the food on this small island, hopefully I can come here to taste the fresh seafood again :)

Took KTM train at Kuala Lumpur station. Like the ancient architecture of this train station.

Our train has arrived, we were heading to Port Klang station.

Interior of the new KTM train, equipped with LED indicator board and LCD TV. Enjoyed the ride with this new KTM train, it is comfortable although the speed of the train is a bit slow.

After 1 hour, we finally reached the last station - Port Klang.

Port Klang harbour

We queued up to buy the ferry tickets to go to Pulau Ketam

On the way to take a ride with ferry

Many boats on the jetty

This is the ferry we took to Pulau Ketam, RM 7 per way.

Picture taken in the ferry, spotted this huge ship on the sea :)

After about 1 hour, we reached Pulau Ketam, YAY!!

Spotted many little crabs on the beach... I like to eat crabs... haha

After tired of walking, we had our lunch. We ordered delicious La La Kuih (fried clams cake) from this stall.

Love to eat this La La Kuih (fried clams cake) a lot, yum yum :)

Lunch at Pin Heong Seafood restaurant. We ordered fried bitter gourds with pork, fried stew fish and fried mantis shrimp

Bicycle is the main vehicle inside the island

Recycling center - As the island is quite polluted with the plastics bottles, therefore this center is built to encourage the villagers to reduce the pollution

Nice bridge on the sea

Many houses are built on top of the sea

Most of the villagers own a boat

Not sure what is on the boat

Another part of the island

As the last boat back to the Port Klang jetty is at 6pm, time to say goodbye to Pulau Ketam...

Stuff bought in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is recognized as the top 1 best shopping city in Asia and it is also a tax free city. However, due to our Hong Kong trip the main focus was on sight seeing, therefore we didn't have much time to spend on shopping :(

If next time we had the opportunity to go Hong Kong again, I would like to slowly enjoy the eating, shopping and walking there. This trip was a bit rushed due to I hope to cover as many places to visit as possible.

Anyhow, I still able to buy something in Hong Kong during a couple of days we spent there :)

Discover City Life in Hong Kong Trip - 100 Years Before the Birth of Doraemon Exhibition (Day 7, 08 Sep - 14 Sep 2012)

After we had our lunch at 澳洲牛奶公司 Australian Dairy Co. restaurant at 佐敦 Jordan, the last stop we were heading to was 海港城 Harbour City shopping mall which located at 尖沙咀 Tsim Sha Tsui. The main purpose we went there was to visit the 「你睇!!多啦 A 梦嚟啦!诞生前 100 年祭」 '100 Years Before the Birth of Doraemon Exhibition'. Thanks a lot to my friend that provided this information to me before I departed to Hong Kong. Hence, I planned it as part of my Hong Kong trip's itinerary.

After we reached 海港城 Harbour City shopping mall, I quickly went to find the exact location of the outdoor exhibition where there are 100 Doraemon statues with 100 different gadgets and face expressions.

Once I found that location, OMG, the place was full of people!! How come all the people including the locals were also gathered here?? It was not public holiday nor weekend... So hard for me to take photos there, and also it was really hot at the outdoor!! Anyway, if you are Doraemon fans, hope that you enjoy reading this post :)

Our flight was going to depart at 6:15 pm, therefore we couldn't spare more time on photo shooting with Doraemon, we gotta rush back to hostel and headed to airport. If time permitted, I would like to spend more time here...

Due to we were too tired to carry around our luggages to the airport, therefore we took the cab. On the way to airport, I was too exhausted while sitting in the cab and nearly fall asleep. Also I got no more energy to take out my camera to capture photos of the 青马大桥 Tsing Ma Bridge inside the cab. (Wasted the opportunity and I'm regret now...)

After we reached the Hong Kong international airport, since we still had some time after we checked-in our baggages. So, we decided to shop around the shops in the airport. I bought a mini mooncake and some snacks from the 奇华 Kei Wah biscuit shop :)

Hong Kong International Airport - Reached here by taking taxi

Hong Kong International Airport - Shopped around the shops in the airport

Hong Kong International Airport - Waiting for our flight to go back home...

Hong Kong International Airport - While waiting, I walked around and took some pictures...

Overall, it was a pleasant trip in Hong Kong. I really enjoyed the food, sight-seeing experiences and theme park in Hong Kong. Since this is the first time we visiting Hong Kong, so we were more focused on sight seeing but not shopping. Although we were always rushing and walking a lot during the journey, but we still able to cover to visit most of the attraction spots in the itinerary :)

Miss my holiday in Hong Kong, hopefully one day I can go there again... Time to save and collect more $$$ money for my oversea trips next year!! Anticipating for it now... I've used up my company annual leaves for this trip, gotta work harder now... Ganbate!!
