Hong Kong 2007

This is my 3rd visit to Hong Kong. The experience is great compared to the previous rounds, cos I have finally gotten the chance to go Disneyland and watch Aaron Kwok live concert in his homeland. I have to thank Stephanie for the list of the useful makan places and shopping tips and Kinki for helping to get the concert tickets.

Day 1 - 22 Nov
Me and Xueqin took an early flight from United Airlines at 6.40am. Oh well, you can imagine I have to wake up at 3am to get ready and reach the air port at 4.40am. The world is so small as well, I also taking the same flight to and from as Sharon. But its a pity, we didn't bump onto each other in Hong Kong.

We checked in to Dragon Hostel at around 12pm, the hostel's rate is quite reasonable, the facilities is quite basic and afterall its quite a decent place to stay.

After checking in, we setted off to Disneyland. I was quite disappointed for Disneyland, its just a place good for photo taking, after all, there's nothing much to explore beside the fire works in the evening.

Day 2 - 23 Nov
Oh YES! Its the concert's day. This is my first time watching Aaron Kwok concert in Hong Kong, this has alway my wish when I'm a kid. The concert is great as I have expected, he's simply a BORN PERFORMER. The songs, dance, stage effects, costume and mood is just on top of my expectation. Its a pity that, he will not hold any concerts in the next 6 years, I hope he will be back to the stage again.

Day 3 - 24 Nov
Its a shopping day indeed! We've been shopping non-stop from 10am till mid night. November is definitely not an ideal period to shop in HK, as the clothings are mainly winter clothings, there isn't much to choose from. We ended up buying a lot of facial masks, shoes and bags instead.

Fruitful November

Yo... I'm back @ my blog again! November has been a very fruitful month for me, been attending events like party, wedding dinners, church wedding, birthday celebration and most importantly, my longed wish, watching Aaron Kwok's concert in Hong Kong.

Stephie's Office Warming Party @ Old School


It has been an 'eye-wide' experience for me, have gotten the chance to see quite a handful of local stars, from Kit Chan, Zoe Tay, Fiona Xie to David Gan etc. As the office is @ Old School, the dress code for the party is school uniform as well. Stephanie only managed to get RGS's uniform instead of our IJ's uniform, but the party does turn out to be quite fun, I do enjoy myself seeing different types of school uniforms worn by different people.

Weiling's Church Wedding


Weiling is my primary + secondary school mate, I'm really glad for her that she has found her Mr Right. The wedding has been a enlighting one with their warmed hearted speeches and the theme 'when pigs can fly' . I was quite puzzled at the theme aparently, but the meaning does serve a purpose, it mean something like - anything can be possible, even pigs can fly.

Nicole and Wanjun Weddings in the same week!
Can you imagine I have already attended 3 weddings in Nov? Tell me about it, it just happened at the same time, Nicole's wedding falls on 17 Nov and Wanjun's wedding on 18 Nov.

Have known Wanjun for almost 13 years or more, really glad that she has found her Mr Right as well. I was one of her sister for the wedding, again, I'm the main mastermind for all the sabo for the brothers, mmm... the brothers have been quite trickly, they don't seem to get to consume the food/drink that we have prepared for them ya. Anyway, its has been a long day for me, I woke up at 5am in the morning and also help out at the evening's dinner as well.


Stephie's Birthday Celebration


Its Stephie's 27th! This is just so unusual for us, no cake crashing this round, hahaha. It turns out to be a very decent and proper celebration, which is so unlikely of us. We already pre-bought her a wallet as a present followed by a penguin's toy - hahaha, that's my idea, its a very old school's toy, which is the penguin climbing on the ice mountain, i'm sure you have seen it when you are a kid and also not forgetting the penguin's mouth nail clipper by Peiting and also the speically DI drum idol picture featuring Stephie as the Drumer Rock Star. Also many thanks to my neighbour for helping out to DI Stephie's face onto the image.
