Hong Kong (22 - 25 July)

Its the middle of summer and I am back in Hong Kong again!

Half day on Friday and by 12:30pm, I was already on my way to the airport! Check in was fast and since it was still early, decided to try the Traveller's Lounge. 5 hours for S$30+GST. Since I had only about 2 hours, I got a discount! In the lounge, you could help yourself to the snacks, cakes, drinks, etc. Also, you could have a shower!

3.5 hours flight on SQ and I arrived at Hong Kong Airport. This time, I tried using the e-channel. Scan the passport and index finger and I am through immigration! So fast!

Stephen was already at the airport. Decided to catch the airport bus to town. It was very crowded at the bus stop but we managed to get in

After checking in at Largos, we went over to have dinner with Stanley, Herman and Derrick. Stanley got a gift for me and that was very kind of him.

Saturday morning late breakfast at the dim sum restaurant and decided to get a gift for 3rd Uncle. Walked a couple of places and ended up at Harbour City. Some some snacks from Royce, eventually.

Left Stephen studying for his exams while I went over to SOGO to meet up with Raymond. Soon, Frankie & Wallace came and we ended up at Regal HKG Hotel for afternoon Tea Buffet. It was great catching up with them.

Went back to meet up with Stephen as he was to go for his night shift. Meet up with Ming for dinner at SATAY KING and also a drink at a nearby bar. Quiet night......

Sunday was sleeping in  day and Stephen came back from his night shift. Gave him the bed and I went out (while he was sleeping) for some window shopping along Nathan Road. Later we went over to Toast Box for late lunch and some shopping at Mongkok area. Managed to get some stuff for his new laptop.

Dinner was at a nearby Korean BBQ place. The spread was huge but the quality was average. Did not really enjoy the dinner.

Flight was on Monday afternoon but decided to check in early at Kowloon Station. Was informed that the flight was delayed till evening but managed to get seat on earlier flight. The only problem was I had to get on the train asap and check in bag at airport. By the time I get to the gate, it was 10 mins before the departure! Such a rush!

Hong Kong was really hot. You could feel the skin burning when walking along the streets. Still, I was glad that I could make it there for a few days, to spend time.....

Wine Party July 2011

It's been quite a while ........Finally! Raymond was put in charge to organise this party.

02 July

Albert gave me a lift to Wong's place. When we got there, the rest started to arrive slowly.....and soon, it was time to dig in!


Plenty of food..just not enough people! Every time, we have plenty of food! Raymond was afraid that we would not have enough and he ordered the nasi lemak set buffet with curry chicken. But, he forgot to inform everyone and Gerald cooked curry and noodle....also bought big fisballs; Albert bought famous Roast duck; Alan brought famous roast chicken; Wong bought drinks, fruits and also kuehs! I bought bak kwa and also prepare extra stuff for the nasi lemak.....not forget Derrick who brought wines and glasses!


The movie for the evening was Chicken Little and almost everyone was glued to the TV! Kids!

By the time we packed up the food (lots of it) and ready to leave, it was past 11pm!

It was a good evening...with good Company!
