It’s my first trip to Hong Kong and it was quite an experience.
I got a flu and sinus infection less than a week away from my flight and didn’t manage to recover in time. Then I still took the flight while having partial blocked nose. It was a terrible experience because I basically got blocked ears after that. Luckily it went away in half a day and I was with my friend, Xiao Wei, at that time. Her presence definitely calmed me down and not make me panicked due to blocked ears.
It was a 5-day trip and since I was not feeling well, I wasn’t able to enjoy much.
Just gonna post the photos here for memories sake. 😀
Xiao Wei wanted to get her sneakers so we went to the famous Sneaker Street.
The public transit is also quite interesting. There are some similar/exact names of our stations or roads in Hong Kong. Like Admiralty is in North South (red) line in Singapore and it is also red line in Hong Kong!
I have to say the public transit card is so cute!
Something random I spotted while exploring streets at Hong Kong…

I went to The World of Studio Ghibli with my friends, Rui Yun and Eunice, on 5 October 2024. We managed to secure tickets on the first day of ticket sales and using my MBS membership perks, we got 2 for price of 1 tickets. That means 3 tickets for the price of 2 tickets. 😀 Always happy to get savings. Haha.
Even happier when I have friends with similar interests to go for such exhibition with me. 🙂 I’m definitely counting my blessings. The older I get, the harder it is to find friends to hang out with. It’s even harder to make friends now. So glad that our friendship managed to last through 2 decades…
I’m seriously considering buying this skirt since it is the usual style of skirt that I like. Unfortunately I cannot try the size so I didn’t buy it.
After the exhibition, we went to So Pho at MBS for dinner.

I had a catch up with one of my colleagues after a long time over lunch on Friday and she was sharing about renovation for her current place as well as properties in general. I went to Ashley’s place for dinner catchup on Friday evening and we were talking about property investment in Indonesia, India and Singapore. I went to Lynn’s housewarming on Saturday afternoon and again, the topic on properties came up again.
Wow, have I reached the age whereby it is normal and very common to talk about properties or am I just attracting the same topic again and again? Hmm…
I guess… Welcome to the new era where every social gathering will cover the topic of property and asset accumulation? Lololol.
That’s also when you know you really is becoming older… I also noticed that I enjoyed just chit chatting with friends over a simple meal at their homes or just one of the homes. No need to go fancy cafe or anything to chat unlike in the past…

I went to visit Hyundai Innovation Centre when I went to Na Oh restaurant for lunch with Zi Jian. Well, he brought me around for an unofficial tour since he works in Hyundai. Definitely a good catch up. I received tips on how to take care of the house and housework tips.
He invited me to see his temporary home as he is currently staying with his inlaws. It’s a really nice dual key condo apartment at a high floor with really good city view of Singapore.
It was also my first time seeing how a robot vacuum is running. Quite impressed by it and I’m excited to be getting one in future. 😀

There’s a new Korean restaurant opened in Singapore recently and it is also fine dining style. It’s like $78++ for a 4-course meal if I remember correctly and wow, it is worth every penny.
However, it was very difficult to book and you have to book 1 month in advance and at midnight. I didn’t manage to but I’m glad that my friend, Zijian, was able to. Furthermore as a Hyundai employee, he gets 20% discount since the restaurant is located at the Hyundai Innovation Centre. So with GST and service fees, each person only pay around $70ish for the meal. Even awesome lah. 😀
I ordered samgyetang for my main course and Zijian ordered the fish. It was very nice. One of the course meals has something made with beef stock which I can’t have it so they replaced it with something vegetarian. That’s quite nice of them. Well, it is fine dining after all.
I didn’t manage to take a photo of the samgyetang when they bring the pot over and explained to me. I’m in deep regret over it. 🙁 Does that mean I need to go back again? It’s quite hard to book for the meal and it’s also difficult to get there too. Oh well…
