Another Quick Trip...

9 April

Arrived into Hong Kong in the afternoon after a slight delay from Singapore. The air traffic was very busy in Singapore! As usual, the immigration in Hong Kong is terrible..... hundred of arriving passengers but few immigration staff!

Took the Airport Express to Kowloon and then the free shuttle to Jordon MTR station. Hotel Largos was located near the MTR (but we took a long route to get to the hotel!). The hotel has quite a small entrance with a concierge and the lobby & reception was upstair. The room was rather small, maybe slightly bigger than Ibis Northpoint. For the price, cannot complain!

Went over to Eddie's office for a short chat, before meeting up with Daddy and his brother for dinner. Dinner was at a local restaurant... the food was average and expensive! Glad to catch up with Daddy again.

After bidding goodbye to them, we went over to the MarketPlace by Jason - Supermarket! My favourite!

Caught up with Derrick, Stanley and Herman for steamboat dinner - 2nd round! The meal was delicious! I enjoyed it very much! 稻香restaurant....must remember this place! Derrick and gang treated us! So sweet of them!

By the time we got back, it was rather late already!

10 April

Was to catch a movie this morning. Stephen managed to book the movie online - Clash of the Titans. Wanted to have my favourite Wanton Noodle before going to the theatre but it was not opened. The theatre was at a big shopping mall - festival Walk at Kowloon Tong station.

The movie was entertaining and I did not sleep! Hahahaha! There was also a big supermarket at the mall!

As there was still some time before the next appointment, we went to Tsim Sha Tsui for my favourite wanton noodle - die die must have (龙记招牌云吞面）! This is just a simple fare, nothing compared to those favourite wanton noodle restaurants....but I simply love the wanton noodle and the BIG WANTON!

Stopped over at HarbourCity for window shopping.....Good place for window shopping....just window shopping! decided to have coffee and lamington at MacDonald's... snacking again!

Took the ferry ride from Star Ferry over to Wanchai.....and then a long walk to the High Tea Venue - Hopewell Tower : Revolving 66. The revolving restaurant has a fantastic view up on the 62nd floor. Eddie, Simon, and 2 other friends ( the Bali group) were there to catch up and talk about their Bali trip. During the High Tea, they enacted part of the scene that took place in Bali! Poor me, I had to play along! Hahahahaha! The High Tea spread was average but at HK$98, it was a bargain! Also, the view was fantastic! Most importantly, the HighTea was free! The friend was so kind to give us a treat! Such wonderful people around!

After High Tea, we went over to Fortress Hill MTR station to meet up with Daddy and his brother. Frankie came to meet us after his class and took us to his place as Daddy has not visited their new place yet. Managed to take a shower at Frankie's place before going off for dinner.

Dinner was at a local restaurant in Northpoint. Though we had reservation made, we waited for almost 45 mins before the table was made available. This is a very popular restaurant. The food was quite good and we ordered quite a lot of stuff ..too much.......

After dinner, we went separate ways. Managed to pick up a luggage bag at a good price at Temple Street Night Market....to get rid of the existing one as the zip was damaged in the previous trip.

11 April

Arranged to meet up with the group for Tim Sum brunch. 3rd Uncle came to join us. The meeting place was at StarBuck. While we were there, there was a guy who came and placed his drink order and then commented that the place was crowded. There were only 2 of us! Crazy man!

The restaurant was at HarbourCity. The food was rather delicious, looked expensive with the presentation, though. 3rd Uncle treated us! We had a great time with great Company!

Went over to Kowloon station to do an early check in for the flight - to get rid of the luggage... Then, went looking around at Elements - another big mall with a big supermarket called threeSixty.

Then, it's time to go to the airport and we meet Daddy and his brother at the Airport Express. They were going out to the airport to catch the transfer to Citigate.

Though the trip was rather short, I managed to do what I wanted to do... to spend time with that special someone.....
