26 Feb
Booked Tiger Airways to Hong Kong at less than S$200! With a average on schedule % of 86%, it was no surprise when the flight was delayed for 1 hour, due to engine problem. 3 1/2 hours' flight and I arrived into HKG about 9:15pm. When I finally came out into the arrival hall, Stephen was already there waiting for me.
Took the airport express to Hong Kong station and then followed by MTR to North Point Station. Ibis North Point is just near to the MTR entrance. Checked in into the hotel and to my surprise, the room was very small! I expected the room to be small but not that small.... Anyway, too late to cancel.
Went out for supper....most places were closed. Managed to find one shop near by and had wanton noodle..... had a few mouthful and that was it! Really no standard! 
Maybe to the residents, that was good enough...... 27th Feb
Went to the nearby restaurant for tim sum....ordered about 9 dishes. Stephen was surprised...afraid that we ordered too much. Er...9 dishes not really too much ... I usually have more, especially when with Raymond! Hahahahaha! Anyway, we finished the food!
Supposed to go to the factory outlets near airport but decided to have an easy day instead. Strolled from North Point to Causeway Bay. IT was a good walk...lots of shops to see along the way. Stop at a famous wanton noodle shop but it was just average for me. The soya milk drink was good, though.
Took a bus ride over to Central and then walked to Derrick's (Stephen's friend) shop. He was supposed to travel to Korea in the night. Managed to catch up with him before he leaves.
Decided to watch a movie at IFC but it was so crowded. Went over to Pacific Place and managed to get seats for the show ' Precious' As usual, fell asleep a few times in the middle of the show! Back to the hotel to wash up and get ready for dinner.
Went over to Fortress Hill MTR to meet up with Wallace. Took us to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. 3rd Uncle was there as well. Dinner was good...... we had some Cantonese dishes. Can go back there again!
After dinner, we went over to Wallace's new place. It was near to the restaurant. The place was bigger than the one at Taikoo - very cosy. We had tea and fruits...... Frankie came back from a birthday party and it was good to catch up with him again.
Then, suddenly Wallace emerged from the kitchen with a cake! We were surprised! It was Stephen's birthday on 26th Feb and Wallace/Frankie had bought a cake to surprise him. Stephen was so happy and touched by their kind gestures. The night ended well....
28th Feb
It was quite a sight this morning when I looked out to the window. Beautiful....... and also so many people were running on the highway/expressway. It was the marathon!
Checked out of the hotel and off to the airport to catch the flight. Stephen was kind to accompany me to the airport.
Though it was a very short trip....arrived on Friday night and departed on Sunday morning, it was very memorable. I flew in to celebrate Stephen's birthday and I made it there! I did not bring any gift but I believe my presence was already the best gift possible!
Happy Birthday, Stephen! Wishing you Good Health and lots of Happiness! Hugs!
