The Mouse's Magic Kingdom

I've heard stories from many people that HK Disneyland totally blows. I dunno why they say that coz the place absolutely ROCKS!!

Disney doesn't blow! But this whale does :P

Sadly my trip there was during a grey-day. Its rained a bit. But if you're a kid at heart (like me), then you'll have a great time even if its hailing frogs.

"How do you get to Disneyland?" Take the Disney train of course!

Admission is a steep HK$295 = P1888 = A$50. And thats off peak prices.

There's a total of four worlds to wander around in but I think they're expanding. Four is plenty to enjoy in one day though.

One of these guys is cute. The other has yellow fur.

I think those who didn't enjoy Disney are old fuddy duddies expecting Disneyland to make them have great time. Sorry it doesn't work like that. If you want to have a good time, its up to you to grab a Buzz lighter phazer gun and zap your way to infinity and beyond!!

Rides are a few but there are lots of theatrical attractions. My favourite is the PhilHar Magic Show with 3D glasses. There's also the Lion King play.
Lion King is one of my all time favourite movies .

Its amazing how they fit the whole movie in 30 minutes. The music and fanfare had me singing 'Hakuna matata' for the rest of the day.

The Golden Mickeys (Disney's version of the Grammys) is a chinese flavoured theatrical attraction. Its weird seeing Mickey, Donald and Minnie speak Cantonese (there's english subtitles of course)

But as you'd expect from any theme park, memorabilia prices border daylight robbery prices. (But you end up buying because you're in Disney!)
Thankfully food prices were okay.

Noodles with fishballs (I thought this was a Nemo friendly place?)

HK Disneyland also hosted the customary Disney parade, complete with all your characters!

I was hoping some of the Disney babes were going to be asian ( Ariel, Belle, Jasmin, Cinderella, Snow White). Ow well.. they still looked good :)
HOT!! and there's Belle aswell! :P

The part I enjoyed the most was the Space Mountain ride. Its a relatively tame roller coaster but your left in the dark so its uber fun. You don't know when its gonna dip or twist or throw you out.

I think I rode it around 10 times! Serious!! I rode it so often I even started posing for the final photo shot!

Love the expression of the guy behind me :P

When theres two

You've been with me for long time
We've shared soo much
You've always been there when I to talk to someone
You brighten up my darkness
You'll always be, close to me.

Then you came from a different time
You came from a diffent place
You're so different.
Yet I'm at home with you.
I'm at ease with you.
You've become my new dependable companion
My everything with more
Im so glad I found you.

You both make me feel special
and you both make me happy.
You both have a place with me
And I hope you know that
Because its strange to hold on to both of you,
but I'm not willing to let any of you go

Depends on me

I think I’ve out-done myself.
She said that if I return from the clubs smelling like ladies perfume, lipstick marks on my collar and make-up smudges all over my shirt, the first thing that she would say is:
"Will, have u been trying on my stuff?"

Har de har har. Very funny.

It’s a good thing being dependable. It means you’re trustworthy and reliable and all things nice sugar and spice.

But can somebody explain why I don't like being called Mr Dependable?

Its contradictory to what I do because I always try my best to be dependable. I want people to put their faith and trust in me. I know I’ll be there for them even if its something I don't want to do or the time and place is unsavoury or the crowd is the wrong flavour.

So why do I want to be dependable, but at the same time get bothered when called one?

I guess what irks me is that many mistake that I’m just like this all the time. That I'm happy to bend over backward or do the hard yard because I’m always nice, always dependable.

Because some see that I'll happily not sleep for a day to finish an assignment and let people copy my answers. Or I’ll happily drive my car on a fishing trip that will leave the Will mobile smelling like fish for the rest of the week. Or that I enjoy driving 60 kilometres out of my way to Clarkson because I enjoy the fragrance of Indian body odour.

No. I don't like doing any of those. I'm just being nice. I choose to be nice because I believe in people and that everyone deserves to be treated nicely.

But it’s a choice.

If people take my choice away and expect me to do the right thing for them all the time, then you've got me all wrongly figured out.

Being reliable, trustworthy and faithful is a choice.
I hope this isn't taken for granted, because it certainly doesn't come naturally.
