Ocean Park has been the traditional favorite, also pastime, going back there seemingly is like the place has changed quite a lot, with its new attractions, and it’s retrofitting with the new competition with down the road on Lantau Island….  Ocean Park is unique in a way it’s home-grown, its Hong Kong something that you can’t replicate like the infamous Milk Coffee or Tea which fashion in Hong Kong then it started from trending…

香港 #AlreadyTomorrowInHongKong – Adventuring without blue box-TARDIS | #AIRNEWZEALAND – Window seating is the best- previously

On an “Air New Zealand” Flight bound towards the first home of three, one is Auckland, one is Hong Kong….  Bounded onwards on a very late night time flight very much past midnight… On Air New Zealand Boeing 777-200ER, in which seemingly travels more faster than a Boeing 747-400 in a previous trip a while ago seeming taken least thirteen hours, than now of ten hours on a Boeing 777-200ER … Having boarded, with a window seating, it’s one off the best seating’s on the plane, having said that, the timeless moments of looking outside the window is far more precious than seating in the middle row of seats of the air craft in where you just preoccupied by looking at the entertainment media system of the aircraft, sleeping throughout the flight or looking distracted, at the beautiful girl whom doing the same surrendering looking outside her window seat from afar..

One of the best seating’s that I typical seated, while traveling is the window seat, it’s the best due to that while traveling the view of the window it’s priceless, unreplaceable the viewing  experience  also you can never get it back… If you watch the inflight entertainment it’s replicable but the view as I travel, also the view is great to wake up and sleep with too as from seeing the constellation of stars, on such as the constellation of Orion also Scorpio… one thing I’ve notice on long haul flights is get a moderated good dosage of sleep, waking up to natural lighting instead of inflight lighting.. also I’ve notice along the way having a window seat helps to reduce the stress, as the view each along the way is therapeutic and relaxing as I look into the distance below and above… also it pays to have good music on too whether it’s on your device or from the inflight entertainment  systems..

 Even though, having the window seating, one thing I like about Air New Zealand inflight services, is the inflight shop where you can order in beverages, also snacks from the inflight service panel… also it was pretty interesting to see the actual inflight safety video that I’ve written posted only a few months ago with a comedic nature in which is award winning with Air New Zealand inflight safety among with the staff during the flight they’ve been quite smashing..

Having watching the transition Auckland from going towards early hours in the morning, in towards sunrise Amberic clouds in surrendering the blue skies, among the clouds that picturesque like the Chinese paintings that I painted every now and then with seeing the white oriental Chinese like picturesque clouds, I’ve come home, first home, among three… knowing that the Airport I’m landing on is newly large- on Lantau Island, than the one I know previously in Kowloon- the old Kai Tak international Airport hello Home it’s been awhile..

The Apple store in Central- IFC- Hong Kong | 香港 #AlreadyTomorrowInHongKong – Adventuring without a blue box-TARDIS- Photographer @KevinJamesNg

A while back in 2008, when I was walking along the sunset Californian pavement of 3rd promenade, walking alongside the Santa Monica Apple Store, in wondering should I get the screenplay writing software Final Draft from the Apple Store that I’ve seen earlier that morning ,  on that Wednesday afternoon, almost evening in where..  I noticing someone dancing with crazy cool random dance moves, in which she was swinging her arms, in which she had long Californian blonde hair, she was swing random crazy Dance moves… while she was recording with her Cannon Camera.. With some serious Tunes.. Dancing like Taylor Swift in later in the early December she joined Twitter …

It was only a month within, till I only found out whom was the dancing blonde was, it was iJustine, Justine Ezarik,  you tuber, gamer, tech gadget reviewer, whom as the traditionally occasionally dances in the Apple stores, when it invitingly meets her….

As I was walking from the Star Ferry terminal from Victoria Harbour wharf, in trying to relate, retracing Ruby and Josh’s walking steps, as previously thinking working from somewhere from central… As to walking towards, the catwalk towards Central, towards the IFC Building, with the blue industrial triangle structural frame….  As I was walking towards the IFC building, in which on my left is the Ferris wheel,  also on my there it is it’s one of the Largest Apple Stores, seen as I view on my right hand side, is the second Apple store I’ve seen.. In which as I heard there are six Apple stores in Hong Kong. IFC- Mall-Central,  New Town Plaza- Sha Tin, Festival Walk-Kowloon, APM Hong Kong-Kwun Tong, Canton Road- Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay-Causeway Bay The one that I was looking at was the one in central… As to looking at the IFC- Central one, it’s larger than the Santa Monica one even though with renovations that was done with it in recent years with its open glass plains… Giving its spacious iconic apple interior / exterior signature glass, inwardly invitation of lots of light in which the same approach was done with the six Apple Stores in Hong Kong…..

 Looking around, noticing, heard, that there are lots of people in surrounding the store in, attempt to purchasing your phone in which those whom are in with suitcases, that platoon surrounding the store.. in which if you can’t get it yet, just wait in best, unless you’re desperate for the latest edition you maybe purchasing the reselling price for slightly higher than the store price, also buyers beware also if you folly such endeavors..

As I arrived inside walking up, those stairs, it there was still lines of people still awaiting for the pre-ordering purchasing items from the store, as all new products goes when it’s launching day, week, there’s always a line.. Even when newly established brands as seen in Top Shop New Zealand in Central Auckland.. that Awaiting lines was very  patience  lengthy..As I return back to 2008, I eventually purchased that Screenwriters software in the later of that evening..
