Snoopy’s World at New Town Plaza

ABBEY: When Denise knew that we didn't follow her itinerary for our second day, she informed Wilma that we can visit Snoopy World outside the 3rd floor of New Town Plaza. This mall is integrated to Sha Tin MTR station. The entrance is the famous Snoopy's dog house with red roof. The Birchwood school is there as well as the school bus and also the playground. Along with other structures were the bank, post office and a diner. Kids can row a boat in the water path. I felt like a child upon meeting Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang. This attraction is for free.

WILL: We were shocked when we walked our way  to TST Promenade. There were so many people already positioned their cameras for the most awaited fireworks display of the year. Too many people paving their ways and looking for a right spot for them, so we decided after seeing the hand prints of Hong Kong's famous stars, we directly went to the opposite hotel, Shangri-La Hong Kong.

     While sipping a cup of tea and coffee, we keep on updating my friend Denise our location and what we are doing. She might be thinking we are wasting our time inside a hotel, so she suggested that we go to Snoopy's World. Then after some clicks, we were off to go.

     It is located at Shatin New Town Plaza, 3rd floor. This place is free. A very nice place to go for Charlie Brown's Gang lovers. I enjoyed, Abbey enjoyed and we know your kids we be delighted to spend time here. 

Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars

ABBEY: This must-visit place in Hongkong is a 20-minute walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. It is also along the harbor where you can see Hongkong's skyline and the venue of Chinese New Year's fireworks. 

Golden stars were scattered and each has a name of an artist or celebrity. I think I only recognized Jackie Chan from the stars. Bronze statues of people filming, lights, and clapper were erected.

WILL: Asia's World City pay attention to their film stars. Thus, this Avenue of Stars is a must-see for every foreigner visiting  Hong Kong. 
     This is located at Tsim Sha Tsui promenade. Here you can see all the glittering stars' hand marks carefully graved. 
     This is free. Tourist will have no reason why they will not check this out. ;) 

Cocoa B DIY White Chocolate

ABBEY: One random day Wilma asked what chocolate would I want as a gift. I replied "Any type, any toppings would do". 

She joined a contest to create your own chocolate. She told me she even put a message on the bar. She was excited to see it delivered to our mailbox. It was covered with a bubble wrap then a silver-colored wrapper with cushion. What a way to protect the precious delight. It was a white chocolate bar topped with almond, macadamia nuts and floss. There's a message "I love you" which is also edible. 

Its not too sweet, just enough to enjoy it and appreciate as this was done by my wife :)

WILL: The most beautiful thing that you can give as a gift to your loved ones is not a box load of ready made commodity in a market, but was things that done by your own hands. 
      Time really pushes all our creativeness on edges, and so am I. Haha. Went to Vivo... while walking, while checking each store, there is no great idea that popped-up right before my eyes. I went home, frustrated. Nada! No gift for my Abbey for hearts' day. 
     Checking every facebook fanpage that posts their products for Valentines, I came with Cocoa B that was holding a giveaway that time.  With great passion and love for my husband, I poured my emotion while creating my own chocolate. 

Here is my entry:

I roamed around VivoCity last night and got home almost 9pm with empty hands. Nowhere to find, nowhere to go, no great gift idea for my husband on heart's day.

Until this morning I read a message in facebook about Cocoa B, bulb of imagination lit and swore when I got home, I wil be creating my OWN chocolate flavor and design.

So here it is, white chocolate (symbolizes my pure love unto him), nuts (how nutty I am when I am with my hubby), I Love You Plaque (three words combined to be a powerful sentence), & Chicken Floss (his favorite).

I will never know this when I read iisjong.blogspot.com.

Hoping to win this, by the power summoned by LOVE! ;)

     Upon checking the facebook when we came back here in Singapore, I saw that I won the contest. As I cannot hide my gladness, I asked my husband to see my entry to this contest. After he read it, he squeezed me tight. 
     The day came, chocolate was delivered by the postman, we unwrap, we took photo, we ate and our amazement can see through in our eyes when we took every bite on that whitey chocolate. Very delicious indeed when powdered with floss. 
     Thanks Cocoa B. please visit their website and surprise your loved ones with it.
