Metal Mickey - PH


Fountain at the entrance of DisneyLand Hong Kong. Looks like metal to me, but I was told this sculpture of Mickey is made of stone.


Remember this scene?

welcome back, ECL!

So you went for a short trip to Hong Kong, we thought you are really training for the car challenge!

Looking forward to your award winning blog posts!

EastCoastLife said...

Hi Singaporeshortstories,
hahaha.... I would win the car if I could stand so long.... two weeks! That would beat the record this year. :P

Thanks for sticking around. :)

So good to be back.

EastCoastLife said...

Hi jams!
I would have to climb up the whale to find out if it's made of metal. hehe...

EastCoastLife said...

Mar,
:D

You watch Disney cartoons too? :)

I turned into a kid once I stepped into DisneyLand. My eyes lit up. hehe....

Heather said...

They look like Metal to me. Disneyland in Hong Kong, I never knew. Happy weekend. I'm headed to work now

EastCoastLife said...

Hi Heather,
This Hong Kong DisneyLand is small and has fewer rides than the rest.
Working on a weekend?

RennyBA said...

I had a fun time in DisneyLand HK though.

stanley said...

Ecl,
It's nice to see you again after a long absence. Why didn't you let us in so that your fans would not have to keep on wondering the whereabouts of you.

jam said...

I never see mickey in metal!

EastCoastLife said...

kyh,
That's a classic. I watched a 3D version of Fantasia in DisneyLand HK. Interesting. :)

EastCoastLife said...

gen,
Yes, bring your son. He'll enjoy it. :)

EastCoastLife said...

stanley,
I cannot leave too much trail of what I'm doing. It's getting too risky and dangerous. I know who are reading my posts.

I have my sources to protect.

Wahhhh! macam like spy movie. haha....

EastCoastLife said...

jam,
There are Mickeys in so many different types of materials in DisneyLand. :)

Alyson, the 3 P's Mama said...

You and I were of one mind! Come and see mine here! It's metal, Disney-style!

EastCoastLife said...

Alyson,
You're right! I hope to visit all the Disney theme parks. :P

Life Ramblings said...

woohoo, ECL back in action again! so you took a trip to HK? and we thought you were really undergoing the subaru challenge.

CRIZ LAI said...

Where have you been? I kinda missed those exotic food expedition you had last time.. LOL!'

Anyway, love that Mickey on the surf board :)

EastCoastLife said...

Life Ramblings,
How come so many people believe I was going through the Subaru challenge training? :D

EastCoastLife said...

hello criz,
I was on an overseas biz trip.

There will be some interesting food posts, not so exotic though.

Kok said...

ECL,
You finally come back! You fell into toilet bowl and can't get out ah? kekeke!

You made us miss you so much lah. :D

EastCoastLife said...

Kok,
I fell into a worst hole! hehe...

Thanks for visiting and commenting often. I have little and limited access to internet while in China. Blogger was blocked in China and it wasn't easy to email 'cause the speed was too low.

Empty Streets said...

Nice shots ECL, aww now this brings back memories of me as a kid hehehe :) wishing on a star now :)

EastCoastLife said...

empty streets,
The sight of Mickey, Minnie and the other Disney characters truly made me turn into a kid again.

Imagine this Aunty running after them or queuing for a photo. haha....

LadyJava said...

Hey where did you go lah woman.. Missed you lah!! hehe..

Carver said...

That looks like metal to me too. Happy weekend.

Mrs Mecomber said...

Great photos! I did wonder where you disappeared to. So there's a Disney World in Hong Kong- didn't know that.

I did Photo Hunt today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit and leave your link. :)

Daisy said...

Oh, Mickey surfing on the whale's spout is so cute! Hang five!

Emzkie said...

i like that fountain! its beautiful! wish we have one like that here in our place. =)

Napaboaniya said...

So you disappeared to HK!!!
So I guess you must had a whale of a good time lar :P

peppylady said...

Never know what something is actual made of.
I have ceramic paints that once it fired it looks like metal.
I haven’t done photo hunt for a while.

Coffee is on,

jmb said...

Never mind we believe you ECL. If you say it is metal it is.

Glad to see you back and have a happy weekend.

TorAa said...

Spectular entry. Really great

Dutchie said...

Hi ecl,

I readall ur posts but this comment column is very long lah - got to wait in line - haha !

Anyway, Disney HK looks fun. Was it cold there ? We went to Disney USA n they hv different sights on main street. Had a great day tho.
We hv several theme parks in NL n we always go for the death-defying roller coasters - super duper frightening but got to try it, right ?

Snap Catch said...

Perfect choice for today's theme... Happy weekend

Gabriel said...

Great selection for today, ECL! Have a great week.

My post...

EastCoastLife said...

Lady Java!!
*hugs*
Miss you too! I was in China. ;)
It's great to be back home.

EastCoastLife said...

Hello Carver,
Nice to see you again! happy weekend!

EastCoastLife said...

Mrs Mecomber,
I stopped by Hong Kong for a day trip. I was in China. Thanks for visiting.

EastCoastLife said...

High five Daisy!
It's great to see you again!

EastCoastLife said...

Emzkie,
I thought the fountain was very unique and I was fascinated with Mickey surfing on the water sprout from the whale.

EastCoastLife said...

Yo napaboaniya!
I was in Hong Kong for a day. I didn't have time for shopping nor tour. :(
I spent most of my time in China.

EastCoastLife said...

peppylady,
Yes, there are paints that could make objects look metallic. It's amazing what inventors could think of. Happy weekend!
I'm coming for coffee.

EastCoastLife said...

Hi jmb!
Lovely to see you again. And thanks for trusting me. haha....

EastCoastLife said...

TorAa,
I would like to be invited on a cruise when I go to Norway! :P

EastCoastLife said...

Hello Dutchie,
Disney Hong Kong is fun for the little kids. It is small and there aren't many rides and the roller-coaster was not frightening.

I can't take the rollercoaster any more.... probably age is catching up. haha....

I prefer to visit Disney USA. It is bigger and has more exciting rides.

The weather was cooler than in Singapore, probably about 27 degrees Celsius. But it gets cold at night.

Mojo said...

Okay, am I the only one who thinks it looks like Donald Duck is taking a d*mp in the crow's nest?

Okay, maybe it's just me.

But seriously...

Gran said...

I'm glad you are back! Great pictures.

Irene said...

Disneyland! I want to go! ;p Nice photos of the water feature. Happy photo hunting.

EastCoastLife said...

Mojo!
I think you're the only one who sees it that way. haha......

Donald's sitting there, thinking ....

EastCoastLife said...

Hello Gran!
Good to see you again! *hugs*

EastCoastLife said...

Hi Irene!
DisneyLand is one place where I can forget my troubles and worries, have fun and be silly for a day!

yenjai.net said...

Ah jie

Will be real honoured if you come to see me

EastCoastLife said...

yenjai,

Darkspore said...

Welcome back ECL! I have not even been to Disneyland before... so sad.

Heart of Rachel said...

Lovely photos. I would love to bring Yohan to HK Disneyland in the near future.

Bengbeng said...

i think it is like Donald Duck is taking a d*mp in the crow's nest?

Wilfrid said...

I have been to Disneyland Hong Kong. It's lovely.

I recognize the 2nd photo, but not the first. Must be a new addition!
