Touchdown! We had finally reached Hong
Kong’s international airport after much anticipation. It was definitely
exciting to be in Hong Kong for the first time in my life. The airport is
beautiful with many amiable and helpful staff around. We were briefed by one of
them on the numerous tourists’ attractions in Hong Kong and when are the best
times to visit these places. Absolutely thrilled at the prospect of spending
the next few months here!

We wanted to see the day view as well as the
night view of the harbor hence we reached the harbor during evening and went
back again after we had our dinner. Both the views were amazing and the night
view was especially exquisite. We were in time to see the light show as well.
It was spectacular!

Being a huge fan of candy, I was delighted
to see that candy floss is actually sold in such a huge portion at the mall
beside our loft. Furthermore, its colour is very much different from the pink
candy floss that I am used to seeing in Singapore. Its taste allowed me to
indulge in wonderful reminiscence of my childhood. J

There is a Tim Ho Wan
outlet in Singapore but I have not had the chance to try it as the queue is
always almost ridiculously long. Thus I hoped to try it during my time in Hong
Kong and we managed to do that on this day! To make things better, we were able
to secure a reservation via the phone which means we did not have to wait to
get a table there. The dim sum at Tim Ho Wan indeed lived up to its reputation
– delicious and satisfying. Hopefully they will open more branches in Singapore
so that we will be able to continue patronizing it even after we return home!

It feels incredible to finally own an album
of my one and only idol, Fiona Sit. Her albums are not available in Singapore
hence I could only get my hands on them here in Hong Kong. Her songs have tided
my through several events in my life thus there was a sense of sentimentality
upon first setting my sight on it. Oh what a nice touch to the end of the week.
