The officers from Office of Academic Links provided us with information on how to survive in HK and CUHK.. Outside Lecture Theatre 1 in Esther Lee Building.. It's actually a hanging frame for posters... But I look like I'm carrying a board..haha :)
Then, it was off to the Benjamin Franklin Student Canteen for a typical CUHK canteen food..
Welcoming Lunch
Shared a table with 2 students from Holland and some others at the other end of the table.. The food was rather good... Tried some food that I had not eaten before... There was a wide range of choices... After the lunch, a few of us went to Tsim Sha Tsui to make visa to go to China.. and shopping!
Tsim Sha Tsui ...
Through Kowloon Tong KCR... to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR..
Nathan Road.. just like Orchard Road... :)
The Peninsula Hotel (side view)... it's a very grand hotel.. something like Fullerton +Raffles Hotel in Sg... Shall go there for a cup of tea one of these days :)
Sheraton Hotel, opposite Peninsula Hotel...
The Avenue of Stars... Didn't snap a lot of photos as we were there at night... Plan to go back again for more photos.. But I couldn't resist taking this one.. I like Nicholas Tse, not his father though... HaHa
Beautiful HK night view... from the Avenue of Stars...
Our journey started at 5am Singapore time.. took a taxi to Changi Airport Terminal 1.. I was feeling nauseous the whole way due to lack of sleep the night before..(was watching tv..) We went to check in our luggage before finding breakfast...
Breakfast was at New York Deli and Sandwiches.. the person at the counter did not seem to be awake yet... HaHa After breakfast, we went to check in and my pocket knife got confiscated!
Day 1 @ CUHK Upon reaching Chek Lap Kok (Hong Kong International Airport), the feeling is so familiar... It felt just like Changi, except that people speak in Cantonese.. and maybe some better looking people..HaHa... After checking out and collecting our luggage, we had our lunch at Cafe de Coral (大家乐)... The food was OK.. but I miss chili sauce that comes with chicken rice :( Then I bought my Octopus Card (Ez-link of HK) and also SIM card... We took the Airport Bus to Shatin KCR (Kowloon-Canton Railway) and then took a taxi to the International House (our hostel) in CUHK.. It was raining heavily after we got off the bus.. The taxi uncle was quite funny.. He was really frustrated that he could not find the hostel.. more frustrated than us! HaHa.. The taxi fare itself was HK$60 (HK$30 each) and bus fare was HK$20/each. Cheaper as compared to the HK$200 we have to pay if we meet the student helpers at the airport.. :)
After settling down in our rooms, I bumped into a CUHK student helper and followed them to the Office of Academic Links (OAL) to take our student package and Student ID card.. Then, we had a campus tour... If you think NTU has a lot of slopes, it's nothing compared to CUHK.. If you think NUS has a lot of stairs.. it's nothing compared to CUHK! The buses do not go straight to I-House, so we have to walk ... and walk... in a super warm and humid weather.. It felt like walking through warm clouds of water... The weather is rather erratic.. one moment it's so sunny, you think you might get skin cancer soon.. The next moment, it's raining so heavily, you think typhoon is coming soon... HaHa..
For dinner, we wanted to go to Fo Tan to eat at the roadside stalls.. But it was raining so heavily that we could not walk from the KCR Station... So, we went to Sha Tin instead.. and ate at Yakguni Ramen in the New Town Plaza.. The food was OK.. Some of them are a little disappointed to be eating Japanese food for their first meal in HK.. HaHa...
Then, we went to take Neoprints! HaHa... There were 8 of us- 3 from NUS, 3 from NTU, one from Taiwan and the CUHK student helper...
Ended the day by setting up the network connection on my laptop... zzzzzz
------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 2 @ CUHK
I planned to wake up at 8.30am but got woken up when the sun shone on my face... at 6.30am!! The day was already as bright as if it is 8.30 or 9am in Singapore.. o_O Couldn't continue sleeping anymore.. So, got up and chit chatted with my roommate- a girl from NTU... Went to watch TV but there's only Stock Market review on.. Going out soon.. for grocery shopping...
This video clip is from the Hong Kong drama 溏心風暴... The drama is 40 episodes long but every episode is filled with adrenaline rush... seriously.. I watched it with my housemates and we had to stop for a break after every 2 episodes or we will suffer from heart attack... HaHa... :) We finished watching it a few weeks ago.. For a few days, we suffered from 溏心風暴-withdrawal syndrome and I suffered specifically the Alfred-withdrawal syndrome.. HaHa.. Alfred is the lawyer in this drama, who is smart and very good looking! ^_^
This song is often played throughout the 40 episodes... :)
I will be leaving Clementi home at 5am tomorrow for Changi :) Plane is at 6.40am, so after we check in, we'll have our breakfast before flying... Budget airline-no breakfast served free.. :(
If no delay, we will reach HK International Airport at 10.20am.. Then, will make our way to Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) by the Airport bus and then the taxi to our hostel (i-house)... Hopefully can settle down fast and going to the nearest shopping complex for Thunder to do shoe-shopping... and own tour around Shatin (New Territories) area... :) Maybe do some planning of activities and places to visit, at night...
HK Disneyland is next on the list... if things go as planned, we will be going to Disneyland, just the 2 of us on Wednesday! :)
That's all I have for our touring plan.. Will be having welcome lunch on Thursday followed by Orientation Week...
Starting school on Tuesday... HaHa.. kept on forgetting that we will be studying there, instead of holiday-ing.. LOL :D
Yesterday was my last day of work! It was a GREAT day~ Work started at 9am and I got to do a lot of dispensing.. So, I got to sit at the counter ;) Less packing :)
Then, one of the nice pharmacists treated us (me and another girl who's leaving too) lunch... The place is famous for its porridge... and the pharmacist ordered 5 dishes to go together with the porridge! There were only 3 of us but we had deer meat, fried squid, 2 different types of vegetables and fried egg tofu... it was very yummy! :)
After lunch, I had my open evaluation with 2 of my preceptors... My preceptor helped me to correct my reports.. Sadly, now I am still editing my report but the good thing is my preceptor helped me make my report a better one :) My preceptors gave me a "Exceeds expectation" for my performance! :)
After the evaluation, the pharmacists and pharmacy technicians at Level 1 Pharmacy gave us (those leaving) each a present! Heart-shaped dark chocolates! *yummy* :) The retail staffs also gave us a present- aromatherapy incense...
Before I left, I went to thank everyone there and they are all so nice! The pharmacists asked me to go back for the Brown Bagging but I will be leaving on Tuesday and the event will be on Saturday.... Very very nice of them! Made me feel a little sad to be leaving although I had been waiting for this day for 6 whole weeks!
This whole preceptorship program had been very enriching! When I started, I set my mind to be more inquisitive and be more brave to ask questions.. as compared to last year when I was in Guardian... This time, I am the only student attached to NCC.. There are pros and cons... There are less peer pressure, which is good.. But at the same time, I am all by myself when questioned.. I can't rely on my partner's answer anymore...
During the program itself, I missed out chances to see and learn things that I could due to my own inhibition... Sigh.... :( Luckily, I had some wonderful preceptors... Even though they are very very busy, they still spend time with me... to teach me... to take me for dispensing... to answer my questions whenever I asked... The other pharmacists were also very nice... and the pharmacy technicians too... :) Some of the nurses were nice too...
I had learned to be more effective in communicating with colleagues... I am still a little apprehensive when talking with my preceptors ( I don't know why..haha)..
My hand used to tremble when I am nervous... But I had finally overcome it! Not during this preceptorship.. but for the past months (or year?), I had slowly but surely overcome it.. But during this preceptorship, I realised I channelled my nervousness to my face instead of my hand... My face flushed whenever I feel nervous! Serious.. I can feel the warmth creeping onto my cheeks.. And if it gets real bad, I feel really warm... o_O I guess it's better than hand trembling.. at least it's not so obvious ;)
I also gained more confidence when talking to strangers and during dispensing.. Everyone had been very helpful in backing me up during dispensing :)
Sometimes, I still regret giving up my place in NUH.. But at the same time, I think it is fated for me to go to NCC and to meet such great preceptors and staffs.. I may have missed out opportunities that NUH could have offered me but I may have gained other things from NCC... One thing is certain, these 6 weeks had been a well spent one
I am leaving for HK on Tuesday... feeling a little nervous about living in a fast pace city like HK.. But at the same time, very excited about it! Haven't started packing as I am still editing my preceptorship reports.. HaHa.. Going to start tomorrow but not much to be packed actually..
Today was our first Housemate Outing to K Box Karaoke! We sang from 11am to 3pm! HaHa.. usually it's a 3-hour slot but due to some problems with their lunch delivery, we were given 1 more FREE hour to sing as a sign of apology.. we didn't even asked for an apology actually.. So, we were really glad to get one more hour of singing for FREE :)
then, WX and I went to Vivo City to get wedding gift for my ex-preceptor (from Guardian).. She's getting married on 07/07/07! Got her a set of gift from Crabtree & Evelyn :)
Going to see dentist on Monday... Having toothache again :(
I'm currently reading this book called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon ... It's written from the point of view of a 15-year old autistic boy... The book has a cute cover (with 5 red cars on the back cover which means Super Good Day according to the boy)and even cuter chapter no.. Instead of the normal Chapter 1,2,3 etc., the book started with chapter 2! Which made me wonder whether the first chapter had been torn out by somebody..HaHa! But actually, the chapters are numbered with Prime Numbers only because the protagonist himself likes prime numbers~ The boy is very good in Maths and Physics but cannot understand human feelings.. He cannot lie cause he will think of the infinite possible answers he can use as a lie... and that made him shaky and scared... He also cannot tell joke because he does not understand them... I'm only at Chapter 67 (not even half of the book yet cause the chapters are in prime numbers..HaHa)...
But this book got me thinking a bit.. Human feelings and emotions are really difficult to understand... I have a similarity with the protagonist which is, it takes me a long time to get used to people I do not know.. I need to observe them first to see what they like or dislike and how they act before I can have enough courage to talk to them more.. I don't know why but I feel that I do not want to say things that are inappropriate so I prefer to get to know somebody more (by observing, not asking though..)... Which I think is not very good~ :(
Anyway, 27th Day @ Work was terrible! I feel that working place is always filled with politics and gossips... Working place with 100% female employees is worse! More gossips!! I had been trying to get patients to fill up forms for my project but could not get even ONE! :( Pack wrong medicines :( Did not have the heart to tell pharmacist that she was the one who packed the wrong medicine for me.. :( Still can't connect the call from one extension to another! Which is rather sucky cause I always cut off patients' phone call... really sucky :( Can't find the medicines to pack :( Got told off by pharmacy technician because I opened too many boxes of stock while there is an unfinished opened box (which i didn't see actually.. ) :( Got "suan" by PT for having so many cuts on my fingers.. My finger got cut by something yesterday while packing and it was bleeding so much that my blood stained the patient's prescription! :( Got "suan" again later when asked to type labels for medicines.. which I do not know! Yea, even after 5 weeks at work.. :( but I personally feel that every institution uses different label typing system..so, I did not ask to be taught how to type labels.. I guess, typing labels is good in a way that I can know the dosage and instructions.. PLUS, I get to SIT! and I get to listen to the pharmacist dispense..
Although today is Monday, it felt like a good monday.. a Yellow Monday and not a Blue Monday.. :)
My working place is filled with yellow things.. all the containers with the drugs in them are YELLOW in colour.. the labels are YELLOW... HaHa :)
Last Thursday, I was greeted by a FedEx envelope on my table when I came back from work~ My HK visa!! :)
But the visa is rather ugly... my Japan visa was a pretty one.. with flowers around it and in sweet colours.. the HK visa looks like some recycled brown paper .. ;P
Malaysians actually do not need visa to travel to HK but I'll be there for 7 weeks, so I need one.. If I am on exchange for one semester or more, I will need to apply for HK I.D card, which would be rather cool right? Like how the policeman in the HK drama will check on people's ID card on the street... HaHa
Getting more and more excited about the trip now since it's sooo near! I will only have about 3 days to pack! and also plan what I want to do there... Most prob will be going to Disneyland on the 2nd day we are there to beat the higher ticket price during their summer holiday... Many people gave bad review about HK Disneyland.. about the lack of attractions.. about the people cutting queue.. But still, I'm there already, I might as well go... Plus, I like Disneyland A LOT!! Hopefully, it's not too disappointing (when compared to Tokyo Disneyland).... I missed the Sleeping Beauty Castle and fireworks the previous time, I shall not miss it again.. and also the Mickey Mouse performance...
The birthday celebration was suppose to be at Ms Clarity Cafe BUT the waiter got our reservation wrongly! He/She thought our reservation was for Saturday instead of Friday!!! When we reached there, we could not find WY's name (she called to reserve) and the place was packed.. It was difficult to get a table for the 10 of us.. The manager was rather (not very though) apologetic and offered us 20% discount if we could wait in line! There was a long queue outside!
Even though there were empty seats inside, the manager refused to let us in but let those who reserved for 7.45pm to go in (our reservation was for 7pm!)
The birthday girl was furious.. We didn't want to wait for more than an hour to get a place to sit.. So, we went to search for other places nearby...
YJ suggested a place he thought was interesting-looking.. We went in to have a look at the place and the menu.. I, personally thought it was not very suitable for dinner.. It has cushions and coffee tables instead of the normal dining tables and chairs..It's more like a place for friends to come and sit, chat and have a drink...But the birthday girl liked it and YJ liked it too..
So, we decided on C.A.N. Cafe!
The place was rather creepy at first... dark.. not many people inside... It even felt warm inside..
But it is a special place.. The place was filled with old things.. like gramophone, old typewriters..even old manual calculator.. opium smoking pipe... some musical instruments... The walls were covered with old movie posters.. and albums.. like Michael Jackson's...
And Metallica, Jimi Hendrix etc. The people who went... all photos with the birthday girl in it cause she went around the table! HaHa! :)
Thunder, SoK Ming and papa YJ...
Kah Ying and Suwan~
Sandy (from Zimbabwe but on exchange from Yale University)... SM and me :)
The roommates- SM and Weiying
Alex and Sok Ming~
All the girls....
And all the guys (2 only actually..haha)
Lastly, all the Malaysians... The non-Malaysians were Sandy and Li Han (China)~
Yesterday morning, I was woken up a few times by my roommate because I forgot to inform her that I work at 9am instead of 8.30am on Fridays~ When I walked out of the bedroom, I saw the wall rack in the living room lying sideways on the sofa! The whole 3 levels rack broke off from the wall the night before and everything on it fell down... Nothing broke, except the cover of my Precious Moments cup! *sobz* This picture was the original cover (taken by a bad camera under a bad lighting..) And this was the result of the fall~ Broke into half.. My heart broke into pieces too, at the sight of this~ Sigh.....
But this morning, after clearing of the mess made by the rack, I decided to glue the cover back together and is left to dry now... hopefully it sticks since the break was a clean one and the 2 pieces can be stuck back together nicely :)
Last weekend was a jam-packed one.. resulting in a very tired Monday~
Huiyie's Birthday @ Indulgz Bistro!~
All of us who went.. I felt that the food was not bad.. the Honey Orange Baked Chicken I ordered was succulent... The mashed potato that came with it was nice too.. and the portion was OK.. not as big as I thought it would be though.. SW said the food was so-so only.. But everyone agreed the ambience and decoration were really good!~ The music, the lightings~~
The birthday girl and the one-who-baked-the-birthday-cake, Swei!~
The cake was so pretty, everyone starting taking pictures of the cake and ignoring the birthday girl! HaHa! It was a Black Forest Cake with cheese and lots of booze..HaHa!~ It was tasty too!! Swei is indeed a great baker~
The Birthday girl and me~ :)
Work has been rather tiring nowadays~ The doctors had come back from the major conference and prescriptions had been pouring in like waterfall! I had been packing medicines like crazy... Counting tablets and topping up medicines.. On and off I got to discuss some issues with the pharmacists..
On Monday, my preceptor finally briefed me and another pharmacist on the project that I was supposed to do.. with the help of the other pharmacists.. The gel needed is finally in and intervention can be done~
But, the medicine was called back today~ so, the project still cannot be started... I have less than 2 weeksleft of preceptorship.. Hmmmm .. I think the 2 students after me will be more involved in the project then..
SG treated me to dinner tonight... 2 reasons: 1. he owed me birthday treat since last year! 2. I exchanged my preceptorship at NUH with him! (I gave up NUH for NCC....)
Anyway, the dinner treat was at NYDC and I got to order a main dish and dessert! :) I ordered the spaghetti with bratwurst (pork sausage)... Can't resist anything with bratwurst.. HaHa!~ And had Irish Cream Mudpie for dessert! :) It was very nice except the Bailey's in it is not enough.. should put in more!~
got to continue reading the thick thick journal articles my preceptor left me.. One of my preceptor had already filled up the evaluation on my performance.. But I won't know it till the other preceptor comes back from conference in US~ x(>.<)x
Today is the birthday of a very special girl- nicknamed Thundercat or more affectionately called Thunder~ We'll be celebrating with her tomorrow night... and for tonight her 3 housemates left-me,Bird and KY gave her a mini celebration.. with ribena which looks like wine and dancing! crazy dancing.. to boyband songs... HaHa~
It was indeed a great end to an interesting day~ I woke up near 11am on Sat morning and the Brown Bagging event we were going to was at 12.30pm~ At NCC, where I work everyday... All four of us were involved in the event, which is a medication review event... There were 6 counters and each counter had a pharmacist.... there were not many patients who came but my counter had 2 patients.. some counters had rather interesting cases... Mostly came to ask about supplements and traditional chinese medicine... It was a rather good experience cause we get to see the pharmacists counsel and sort out the medicine... And deep down inside, we wish we could be like them~ Confident and professional~ Knowledgeable~ We had a debrief after that and a mass phototaking....
Then, my housemates and I decided to walk to Chinatown for some dessert... And then we walked to City Hall to meet another 3 friends for dinner... It was a refreshing walk after not being in town for so long... The weather was alright, a little on the warm side though... We ate at a Thai Chinese Restaurant called Magic Wok~ The food was rather tasty and cheap... We had Thai Green Curry, fried baby squid (which Bird said look like something from Fear Factor! HaHA!), Kailan and claypot beancurd... But I couldn't eat much cause of the dessert... >.<
At dinner, we already had some interesting talks from Aman... he was teaching another guy friend how to get girls... So he said there are 3 things that girls love, in guys: 1. play a musical instrument 2. cook for the girl 3. sense of humor
I felt that the 3 points are quite true... Cause I, myself think that guys who can play musical instrument can really impress me.. any kind.. piano, violin, saxophone etc. (but not guitar though..) If the guy can cook for me, it will be even better! Cause I can't cook well.. :) And sense of humor is quite essential...
After dinner, we went for ice cream at Gelare... On the way there, we found out that one of the guy friend learned make up before! And he said that I should really trim my eyebrow -___- So sad.. My eye brow is naturally ugly la.. the previous and the only time I had ever trimmed my eyebrow,the woman was complaining about the ugliness of my eyebrow the whole time she was trimming it.. She was like giving my mom reasons why she can't trim it properly cause my eyebrow is naturally ugly -____- Anyway, my guy friend is not only good at eyebrow trimming, he is very good on skincare and make up too! Argh! A guy! knows more than us girls.. so the girls were rather mesmerised by his knowledge while the other guy was impressed by his capability to get girls mesmerised! HaHa! Then the guys went on to talk about gays and lesbians... I could have said more but I was tired and the sofa was so comfortable..haha... But it was a good chatting session.. I was like a middleman.. introducing different groups of friends to each other... It was initially a weird group of people eating dinner together... But luckily, the guys were really entertaining.. with their non-stop chatter and philosophy of life... :)
All in all.. it was a rather great day~
Happy Birthday to Huiyie!~ and may all your wishes come true! (especially THAT one ar! ;P)
11 more working days only!! Yeah! :) 18th Day @ Work is better than 17th and 19th is even better :) Got to see some dispensing being done this morning... even answered some queries on the phone... One of the pharmacists very nicely showed me some good websites to find drug information :)
Had my last discussion today, on breast cancer.. It was a rather funny discussion but I was lousy as usual... couldn't answer most of their questions this time... I think I'm seriously having some memory problem.. I remembered reading about some of the issues raised in the discussion but I could not remember the facts.. :( At one point, my preceptor was hinting me the answer by acting it out but I gave a totally wrong answer that he almost fell from the chair.. HaHa
I'm so tired nowadays.. Sometimes I sleep at 11pm or I'll fall asleep at 10.30pm then wake up at 11+ and go back to sleep at 12am... >.<
Was talking to the girl at work and she suddenly exclaimed, "What's wrong with your eyes?" Me- "Huh?" She- "You slept very late is it?" Me- "Yea.................."
-Boredom occurs when you're not happily occupied. If you really have to spend 40 hours of your life a week making money to support the rest of it, shouldn't you enjoy it?-
Something I got from the daily email of my horoscope forecast... Quite accurately reflects my feeling about working... I really don't think I can stand the mundane working life next time...
This morning, while I was in the toilet in NCC for my usual daily bowel movement (:P), I realised I do have some characteristics of a Gemini.. maybe cause my birthdate is rather near the beginning of Cancer and end of Gemini.. I have some split personality tendency.. I'm 2 different persons in front of close friends+ family and in front of acquaintances..
17th Day @ Work was OK.. more used to the place now and can pack more effectively.. My current preceptor also had some time to sit down and brief me on some issues... Got "interrogated" by a pharmacy technician today... mainly due to my misleading nametag! NCC does not provide me with a "Student attachment" Nametag.. So i had to wear NUS's nametag which says "Department of Pharmacy"... So, everyone either thinks I'm a pre-registration pharmacist or I'm a pharmacy technician.. -___- Got to prepare my discussion handout for my last discussion on Thursday but I'm soooooooo lazy! I'll be teaching tuition tomorrow night, so tonight I have to almost complete it already! Argh!
Today is my first day at the Outpatient Pharmacy... basically, i packed medicine and top up from 9am-6pm with a 1 hour lonely lunch break..... I was packing with a girl who had just finished polytechnic and will be starting Year 1 Pharmacy in August.. she's quite excited about it :) The staffs are OK.. but I was behind the cupboards of medicine the whole day and didnt get to see any customer.. I guess that's why I prefer retail where I'll get to meet customers everyday :) Nothing interesting today.. All my preceptors were too busy :(
Anyway, I had a weird dream again yesterday.. I dreamt about some of us at a dinner for matchmaking purpose! LOL... My friend's dream guy Mr. F was in the dream too.. I can't remember the whole dream but the last scene was the funniest... After all the guests left, I turned and saw Mr. F digging his nose... I immediately push his hand away... He, very gay-ly walked away from me with an unhappy look.. So, I chased after him and told him the reason I prevented him from digging his nose in public.. It's because he is a dream guy in our mind.. The image of him digging his nose in public is detrimental to his image! Haha! Then, he very gay-ly again said OK and pout o_O
Then my alarm clock rang... -___-
Must be overdose of his pictures on Facebook the night before... Haaha!
It was Li Bing's bdae yesterday! Li Bing is one of the juniors in NUSHO.. she turned 21.. so it was a big event... The party was held at the National Service Resort & Country Club.. quite a nice place! With big swimming pools and bowling alleys, karaoke rooms etc. But it's at Tanah Merah, which is near Changi Airport..
KY and I met up with the rest at Tiong Bahru Plaza to get LB's gift.. It was a hamper of Body Shop products :)
We estimated the time wrongly and reached NSRCC around 5.30pm which was super early.. It was rather embarassing as LB was still getting ready... We went for a walk around the place... There's beach behind the place... nice evening breeze...
No. 35 ... the place is quite nice.. with air cond and TV inside.. kitchen... BBQ pit.. and rooms upstairs... What we wrote for Li Bing in her guest book :)
The decorations on the wall... Li Che and I :) The food.. the food was nice! I ate soooooo much.. this is the buffet part.. there's also the BBQ food which were all prepared by LB's cousins and aunts... we don't even need to stand near the fire.. and the chicken wings were all very well done! The birthday cake... 3KG! Tasted nice too.. the cream is like peanut butter based and the cake itself is chocolate flavour...
The NUSHO gang who attended... with the birthday girl in black :)
It was a nice get together with the harmonica gang :) and great food :)
The officers from Office of Academic Links provided us with information on how to survive in HK and CUHK..
Outside Lecture Theatre 1 in Esther Lee Building.. It's actually a hanging frame for posters... But I look like I'm carrying a board..haha :)
Shared a table with 2 students from Holland and some others at the other end of the table.. The food was rather good... Tried some food that I had not eaten before... There was a wide range of choices...
The Peninsula Hotel (side view)... it's a very grand hotel.. something like Fullerton +Raffles Hotel in Sg... Shall go there for a cup of tea one of these days :)
Sheraton Hotel, opposite Peninsula Hotel...
The Avenue of Stars... Didn't snap a lot of photos as we were there at night... Plan to go back again for more photos.. But I couldn't resist taking this one.. I like Nicholas Tse, not his father though... HaHa
Beautiful HK night view... from the Avenue of Stars...
Wednesday, June 27, 2007,9:11:00 AM
