Day 4 - Hong Kong City Tour!

Before that, Mr Stephen Lau of Ernst & Young came down and shared with us his take on leadership. Valuable stories were recounted by him as he linked what he did to the concept of leadership, that explained why he was standing there and speaking to us.



After the session, we were all trooped off in tour buses to the Avenue of Stars, (星光大道) where stars like Stephen Chow & Jacky Chan left their marks.




From left to right to behind: Me, Ha Youn, Vicky (these 2 are the "sisters" of the group, with Vicky taking care of Ha Youn most the time) Sandy, Isabel, Ken, Forian (soft-spoken nice guy of the group. Tends to "disappear" and reappear just as suddenly =p)

Despite the mist that had settled over the harbour, the pictures turned out fine!

"Part of the original Kowloon-Canton Railway terminus, the Clock Tower was completed and came into operation in 1921. This is a landmark from the Age of Steam, a time when people spent days travelling across Europe and Asia to the terminus."

Taken outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre with my room mate while staying at City University, Chin Yoong. Best buddies!






See? The "sisters" do everything together, including buying the famous Mister Softee ice cream.

Ha Youn & Vicky


Next stop, Stanley (赤拄) for some souvenirs and sight seeing.

Along the way, our tour guide, Michelle, brought our attention to Repulse Bay, home of the rich and famous in Hong Kong.



Outside the Maritime Museum. It is said that the concrete blocks were moved manually from its previous location to preserve the building that is of great historical value.








Here we see Ann, the queen of KTV hailing from Taiwan! She must have done something illicit (见不得光), hence the hiding behind the pillar. Maybe she kidnapped Cyndi Wang in an attempt to take over her place?!

Seriously, take a look at the ancient Maritime Museum in the background too!

Ann sings really well by the way!



This is not an anti-riot attempt by the police. It is the Peak during a bout of mist. And rain. Undaunted, many of us still trudged through to take pictures of the city's world class skyline.






How can one go to Hong Kong without taking a piece of this back?
Despite the mist, the light from the buildings shone through.

Unfortunately our Shenzhen OC's didn't get to enjoy this with us. Never mind, hope these photos make you happier.



Using another colour filter.








A third shot. I queued quite long for a spot, as it was raining, many people were fighting for the shelter to snap pictures!

As the night wore on, many went shopping at Causeway Bay but I stayed in the hostel this last night in Hong Kong and chatted first with Del, then with Ken, Forian, Sandy and Eric, and finally with Chin Yoong, Agnes and Ethan.
