Hong Kong Day 3

The day started with browsing around Esprit store with Andrew and Eric. They didn't allow us to take photos inside, so this was the best we could do. After that we went souvenir shopping and met up with Ee Loo for lunch. We had to go back to the hotel in time for the coach to HSBC building for the Young Entrepreneur's Awards Regional Finals.

We had a choice as to whether we wanted to follow the Gold teams in the coach to the venue, or find our own transport there later. To make things easier and to save money, we decided to take the bus with them. Unfortunately, there were more people than there were seats, so we were standing in the bus, when they announced "Malaysia Silver and Bronze teams come down from the bus". Apparently it was against Hong Kong's traffic rules to have anyone standing on the bus. Of all the teams from the different countries, poor us. We alighted from the bus, and tried to look sad for this shot. Unfortunately, Andrew made a comment and Ronnie and I couldn't contain our laughter. Thus, this shot is made up of half of us laughing, have of us looking sad and unwanted.

We had no choice but to take two cabs. They were so freaking expensive, but thank goodness, covered by HSBC "emergency money". Pretib, Ronnie and Boey took one cab, where else Andrew, Eric and I took another. The other guys' cab costs more than us even though it was from the exact same spot to the exact same place.

We were there early, so was brought on a tour around HSBC.

Then we went to the competition venue to support our Malaysian Gold team for the Regional Finals. They were the first team up. This year, the best of the best and also the best presentation awards went to Thailand. Congrats Ja. Benz and Chris!

After the competition was the Cocktail reception. We took some photos, and this would probably be my favourite =)

After eating, as typical Malaysians, we went to have dinner. (food again!)


The food is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so GOOOOODDDD MMMMmmmmm

Then Andrew brought us to Lam Kuai Fong just to look around. It's THE pub/bar/club district of Hong Kong with rows and rows of all sorts of pubs and clubs. We didn't go in any that day though, because I had to go back and meet the rest of them at the lobby at 11pm.

Ee Loo saw a SaSa store, and as usual goes crazy x_x hehe After that, we took a ferry back to Tsim Tsa Tsui for the first time. Today I managed to get a really pretty shot of Hong Kong.

The jetty (if it's even called that, I don't think it is)

The best shot of Hong Kong in my entire collection of 600+ photos

Eric, Me and Ee Loo in the ferry. Andrew helped us take this one.

I went back in time to take a shower before heading out again. The weather was horrible. It was raining cats and dogs. It was a good thing I brought my umbrella along, but no one else did, and we were all wet wet wet. We got ourselves to a bar somewhere (I don't know where) and just settled down at a pub for some drinks. I didn't take much photos though, which was a pity. Most of them were Thais, so they were speaking in fluent Thai, and I couldn't understand and all I could say was "sawatdeeka!!" I did learn how to say I love you in Thai though. =p Chan Rak Kun. A few from the Philipines' teams were also there.

When we got back to the hotel, we were in one of the rooms playing I never ever. Unfortunately, even though we tried to be as quiet as possible, the walls were too thin and people complained =( We then decided to end the day and went back to sleep. That was the end of day 3 in Hong Kong.
