8 Days 7 Nights Hong Kong and Macau Itinerary

I miss Hong Kong and Macau!! Going to share about my expenses during my trip in Hong Kong and Macau. I ate well, played well, explored well, shopped well (im not a shopaholic) and enjoyed the trip well.

Booked my air ticket 1 year earlier during Air Asia promotion. I bought two way tickets for RM321 with addition 15kg check-in luggage (return ticket) for RM35.

During our trip, we used MTR most of the time to travel around the city. Remember to get Octopus Card at the kiosk centre in the airport (HKD150 with HKD50 deposit and HKD100 stored value). The deposit is refundable. Spent HKD348.4 for my Octopus card (including buying some drinks in the mart). We used bus when we travelled to Ocean Park and experienced the ferry ride to Hong Kong Island instead of MTR (both using Octopus Card).

We went to Tung Chung Station after check-out. Wish to experience the 360 cable car (knew bout Ngong Ping 360 after i watched Running Man.. lolZ...) but the cable car stop operating for few months due to bad weather :( Ended up walking around Tung Chung area and watched a movie in Citygate Outlets.
We watched Mr. & Mrs. Gambler. Cost HKD50!! Gosh. I still prefer 'student-price' movie ticket back in Malaysia. 
Flash mob by students from international high school 
Back to HKIA once again. Refunded our Octopus Card. Walked around the airport as we didn't have enough time to explore the airport when we first arrived.
