Diana's on MC .... oh dear! Got to get someone else to cover my duties...
The flight was rather packed, on a Thursday afternoon! Many people travelling! At the HKG airport, it was very crowded! The immigration queue was extremely long! Have no fear, I have the HKFVC! I do not have to queue! Fantastic!
The luggage was out quickly and soon I cleared custom and into the arrival hall. I was looking out while coming out as I had a feeling that Stephen would be at the airport...he was! He called me earlier just when I got off the plane and though he said that he would wait at the hotel, I had a feeling he was actually at the airport instead. I was right!
After dropping off the luggage at Largos, we went over to 富临 to meet up with Derrick for dinner - steamboat. Just a quick dinner before we headed back to the hotel...... I was just too tired.......
Could not sleep and decided to go out for a walk..in the middle of the night...and ended up with a burger and hot chocolate from Mac's!

This morning program was to go to Stanley for shopping....my favourite polo shirt shop. Went over to Exchange Square Bus Terminal at Central to catch bus 260 to Stanley.
The temperature was about 36 degrees! Managed to buy a few polo shirt before making our way back to Wan Chai for lunch with Louisa at 富临. We had tim sum lunch at which was packed during lunch hours! After lunch, we thought of going to the food fair at the convention centre but decided to skip that. Went to the ferry terminal to catch the ferry over to Kowloon star ferry terminal. Went for some window shopping at the Harbour City and sipped gourmet coffee at City Super before back to hotel to rest (escape from the hot weather!)
Went to Wally for a drink (and met some friends) before going over to Central for dinner - Japanese Buffet Dinner! Met up with Herman and Stanley at the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station.This restaurant has 2 sittings and we took the one at 8:30pm.The place was small but packed. Derrick came over after work. We had lots to eat and plenty to chat!

Was to meet up with Frankie and Wallace for lunch at 德兴...... Was invited to go Ocean Park with Herman & Stanley but declined due to prior appointment. Great to catch up with F&W and great lunch too! 
After lunch, Frankie invited us to join them for karaoke and we gladly accepted (beats going anywhere outside!). Frankie , Wallace & Stephen sung very well throughout and I managed to catch up on my beauty sleep as well! Hahahahaha.
Though I did not sing,it was fun watching them having a great time! After karaoke, they brought me to a wanton noodle shop to try the noodle. the theory about the 猫山王 durian applies..... it was not as good as 龙记, though。
Went back to the hotel to freshen up before meeting up with Eddy, Simon, and the couple for hotpot dinner at HIPOT......yes, steamboat again! This time, it's individual pot with your own stock base. It was kind of interesting as you get to try each other's pot! We had lots to eat and by the time most of us were up to our throat, Stephen was still eating away! Great appetite! It was really fun! The gang was so kind to present me with a birthday cake....so touched.......
After dinner, I had to go over to MongKok for my next appointment....really busy!15 Aug
Went for a movie this morning over at Harbour City. When we did online reservation, the cinema was rather full. However, when the show started, we were the only 2! By the time it finished , there were only 5 patrons! Hmm.....7th month...did I miss seeing the crowd.......?????????
Went over to Hong Kong to try and buy red packets (with surname) for Joanne. Unfortunately, the shop closed on Sunday. Went over to a famous noodle and porridge shop for lunch. The wanton noodle was quite good, similar to 龙记. After lunch, we went over to Derrick's shop and then to high tea (cake n coffee/tea) nearby.
Back to hotel to rest before going over to for dinner at 稻香. After some discussion, we decided to have steamboat with some side dishes! Frankie & Wallace, Raymond & Michael and also Ming were all there. We had a great time catching up or rather they had a great time chatting about opera and movies!
Went for a stroll along the esplanade before ending up eating ice cream at Haagen Dazs
16 Aug
It's my Birthday today! Got up, checked out, went over to Central to get the red packets and then checked in the luggage at Central station. Went over to Crystal Jade for lunch, bought some locals snacks before taking the Airport Express Train to the airport.
Got back around 7:30pm and had to rush back, took a shower before meeting up with the gang for dinner at Blk 169. Gerald, Jay, Derrick, Raymond, Wong & Tony , Albert and Small Ben came to buy me dinner. Small Ben even "cook'' bird nest drink for me! So kind of him.....
By the time we finished, I was really tired......
The trip has been a tiring one.. I guess I was already tired out before flying off to HKG. With the hot weather, I did not spend much time moving around. I just wanted to spend the time with that someone special....... and I did...that's the most important.
