Woke up at 5am....to get to the airport to catch the flight to Hong Kong. The flight was smooth and after 3.5 hour's flight, I arrived safely into Hong Kong. Took the airport Express Train and then the free shuttle to the hotel - Butterfly on Prat. The location of the hotel is great! The room is not very big but comfortable enough for 1 person. The hotel is pretty new and modern. The strange thing is that you can see into the bathroom/toilet. It's not covered! I had to ask the hotel to put up papers!
Went out to have my favourite food - 龙记招牌云吞面！Always love the wanton! Then, went to catch up with Stephen near the Tsui Sha Tsui MTR station. Had a drink at nearby Mirama Plaza's starbuck. Had a wonderful time chatting away!
Dinner was with 3rd Uncle Raymond. It was great catching up with him again. We had steamboat dinner and Ming came to join us! So much to catch up! Jack and Joseph arrived to Langham Hotel and I had to go over to meet up with them. We went to the nearby cafe for supper and drinks. Wallace and Frankie came as well. Finally, we caught up with each other again! Stephen to come and join us as well!

Early morning as I had to travel to ShenZhen, Took the train at Hong Hum station and about 50 mins arrived to Luo Hu station. Had agreed to meet up a new friend, Wei Jian, who is from Hokkien province but working in ShenZhen. Went to the nearby Shangri-La for tim sum breakfast...78RMB per person....buffet.....very cheap!
Then, we went to window-shop at some shopping mall. Went to the huge MIXC. Very modern shopping mall with many branded shops and the prices were not cheap! Went to 会展中心 and then to 东门. Many things were certainly not cheap as expected. We decided to have late lunch near the station...steamed fish for only 28RMB! After the meal, I had to go back to Hong Kong.
On the train, I met Stephen who was planning to actually travel to my hotel to meet up with me! Such a coincidence!
We went over to Hong Kong Island for some window shopping before meeting up with the others for Japanese Buffet dinner at KumaTei. The food was great! Must go back again! Stephen and I went night shopping at Temple Street.

Went over to Wanchai to meet up with Ming. The weather was not very good.. we took a bus to Stanley Market to buy my favorite T-Shirt - 2 for HK$120! Did some window shopping there before heading back to Wanchai area for quick lunch before meeting up with Frankie for drinks near SOGO. Had to rush back to meet up with Jack for dinner. Joseph had to fly back in the afternoon. We went to the nearby 糖朝 for dinner. The food was not bad... we had porridge and some tim sum. Cakes & tea/coffee for dessert at nearby cafe and then some window shopping (again!) before heading back to the hotel. It has been raining the whole day and thus we decided to have an early evening.

Went over to have breakfast with Jack at MacDonald's while waiting for Gloria to arrive from Brussels. She finally arrived and both of them went to Shenzhen for massage. I went to post the red packets to Keiko. Bought a lot of beautiful red packets....really a lot!
Caught up with Frankie for Japanese lunch at K11...new shopping Mall before heading back to hotel to pick up the luggage to go to the airport. 4pm flight back to Singapore.
The Hong Kong Trip was really wonderful!This trip, I met someone very, very special.... someone who gave me a special feeling that I thought was not possible anymore..... We got to spend time together... wonderful time ....... Thank you!
