Hong Kong Trip 26 Apr - 1 May 2012



I have known my best pal Ket Khen for more than 20 years. We met each other in our primary 1 class, 1D. By some weird twist of fate, we ended up in the same class for the next 10 years, 6 for primary, and another 4 for secondary.

I still remember I always bullied him, calling him 哭包 etc. However, I also treated him very nice! E.g.: borrowing him money without asking him to return : p

This year marked the 20th year which we called each other BFF (BEST OF FRIENDS). Hence we decided to embark on a trip which we have been talking about since schooling days.

Many places came across our mind, and the final destination was… HONG KONG!

Date was set, air tickets purchased, hotel reserved, itinerary planned, the 2 pals started their trip on 26 Apr 2012…

Traveling in Hong Kong wasn’t difficult with the locals being Chinese after all. Transportation was very well-developed. We didn’t have much difficulty finding those attractions, namely, Avenue of Stars, Ocean Park, Lantau Island, Lan Kwai Fong, Victoria Peak, Sky100, Ladies Street etc.

However, one thing I must admit is that the walking between MTR can be very exhausting and taxing for our legs. I guessed the total distance we walked could easily estimate to be around 10KM during our 5 days trip.

We enjoyed the food and attractions, but definitely not the walking! LOL!

Time flies when you are having fun, very fast, our trip came to an end on 1 May, our place touched down in Changi Airport around 12 midnight. Ken came to pick me up, saving me from the hassle of traveling back to JB with my heavy luggage.

Overall, thanks my pal Ket Khen for bearing my complaints (if any) and my slowness during the trip. I really enjoyed the trip and sincerely wish we got many decades of friendship to come!

PS: FYI on my expenses:

Jetstar return flight ticket = SGD 400 / pax
Hotel @ Hop Inn = SGD 243 / pax
Expenses in HK (including tickets for attractions) = SGD 850

If anyone of you interested to know where I stayed, ping me on SMS, Whatapps or Facebook! J
