DAY 6 - Friday 17 July

Today, it was special arrangement for the HK colleagues to take us on Store Visits. All of us went to the Kowloon Station and checked in our luggage so that we wouldn't have to carry them all around with us today since our flights were all pretty late in the afternoon.

Here we were at the City Check-In.
Everything on this trolley were mine! The huge yellow luggage and more! *blush*
.
Our wonderful HK colleagues were so kind to accommodate to our requests and brought us to visit a few stores on HK island.
.
HK island is so different from Kowloon. Here, everything looks commercialized and lack nostalgia. In Kowloon, buildings are older and feels more like we are indeed, away from home. HK island is very much like SIngapore.

A few snaps of Hong Kong Island




.
We were tired and some, famished by the time our visits ended, our HK leader brought us to a very authentic HK Cha Can Teng at a rundown corner, which I loved, and left. They have put in so much to arrange this conference trip for all of us. THANK Y'ALL!!!
.
I was not hungry, but had to eat as they were so authentically cooked. It was GOOD though. Perhaps everything consumed on holidays always tasted better though they may be ordinary stuff? :)



.
We sat and chilled and then walked a long way to get cabbies to go to the station where we decided to take the Airport Express to the Airport.



.
When we arrived at the airport, we had a quick lunch. I had Ajisen Ramen, Bad! Bad noodles and bad service too! So angry with them. Not worth mentioning here.
After the meal, we bid farewell to our Taiwan and Malaysian friends.
.
As it was still 2 hours plus away from our flight time, I was determined to find a place to chill. I found this uninteresting BUT quiet-enough cafe where I could sit and chill out.



I sat there happily, in peace and while my time away with a cuppa and a cake. :)
My happy moments.

Then it was time to go.
It was the fateful same flight that delayed J and me last October. *eeek*
.
Hahaha! But all is good. Here's leaving you with a picture of me, being all royal, from the lobby of Luxe Manor.
GOodbye Hong Kong, till then.

My flight back was horrendous. Sat beside a 'COUGHING machine'. I almost stood up and strangled him. I managed to watch Sunshine Cleaning on the way back. No one served me coffee on flight. Was really upset and angry. First they said that coffee and tea service had to be terminated due to turbulence, then after that, the flight arrived in Singapore early.. how could they.. how could they deprive me of my coffee on flight - my only leisure and pampering thing to do on flight. Sigh.
.
In summary, the trip was a good one. I have learnt alot from colleagues from Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Taiwan. I hope the meeting will be held in Taiwan next! :)
.
Till next trip.. Have a good day everyone and hope your every trip is a fun and fruitful one.

And I knew J will be there at the airport waiting for me. *love and happiness*
