Nov 24 - 27

24 Nov

After making sure everything was OK, rushed off to the airport to check in the luggage. managed to take a shower and have a snack at the lounge before boarding.

The SQ flight departed on time and arrived earlier than scheduled.  Clearance was rather fast and even with the luggage. Soon, i was out into the arrival hall and Stephen was there to meet me.

Took a ride on the Airport Express to Central and then the free shuttle to Empire HKG. From there, its a short walk to Wesley Hotel.

Steamboat dinner with Derrick and Stanley at Sheung Wan.

25 Nov

MacDonald's breakfast to start the day...... took a bus (no. 681) from opp the hotel to Ma On Shan. Went to visit Stephen's place. Took about 40 mins to the Town Centre and then another 15 mins walk to his apartment.  First time to his place. Ma On Shan is a self sustained township....big shopping mall.... Saw many people queueing up for the free shuttle and also saw many people queueing up to pick up the kids from the kindergarten

Went to walk Pacific Place while Stephen went to do some office business.Pacific Place is rather upmarket and walking over to the next mall, you could actually find cheaper stuff! Bought a belated birthday present from Frankie.

Japanese buffet dinner near the hotel...huge slices of sashimi....too huge for me....the meal was not too bad...

Had to help Stephen finish his assignment..and still managed to catch a movie - Immortals before calling it a night.

26 Nov

Met up with the gang for dinner ....dim sum buffet. Great to catch up with them again. Lots of laughter! Wanted to go to Stanley markets but the bus queue was too long and decided against it.

Strolled back to the hotel and rested till evening. Went over to Tsim Sha Tsui for some window shopping and catching up on the night lighting.

Wanted to catch another movie but the only available tickets were the front rows.

27 Nov

Got up early and went over to Central to check in. Breakfast at the American Embassy (MacDonald's) before catching the train to airport to board the flight back to Singapore.

Though the trip was rather short, I managed to do what I have always wanted to do. Thank you for making it possible and thank you for spending time.
