Woo~
Have been back from HK for about a week but I am still reeling from the trip.
It is the best trip ever till now, even better than NZL.
Maybe because I went with no expectations, was totally YOLO with no itinerary.
Heck, I packed on the morning itself before heading to the airport.
And I was sick zzzz
BUT, it turned out to be the best trip ever.
And I did so many things I never thought I would.
Biggest accomplishment would be climbing to the peak of 钓鱼嗡 (High Junk Peak).
Just look at the view!
It was breathe taking and worth my 3 falls going downhill HAHAHA
The sun was crazy though and we climbed up when it was 32 degrees.
I felt so so so free and liberated when I was at the top.
Good thing was there was a slight breeze ~
And the weather, was perfect.
I was so scared it would rain throughout my trip (like how it did the previous time I went HK last yr), because it rained on my 2nd day and I went Disneyland in the rain zzzz.
BUT! The weather was perfect for the rest of my trip. :)
I felt so happy & at ease throughout the trip, all thanks to the non-local Hongkonger - HD.
On the first night when he picked me up at the airport, he got lost LOL.
As expected HAHAHA
A 50 mins ride from the airport to Kowloon Island became 1.5 hrs because he went to HK Island instead and took a LONGGG detour.
But, it created memories hahahhaa.
Thanks to HD, I got to meet Choco niece and Maddy - finally!
Has been seeing pics of choco niece all the time and they are soooo cute.
Went to the peak and Stanley beach with his family before having dinner with them.
Love his family so much because they are so hospitable and treats me like one of their own.
Made a new friend too!
Baby James hahahah (because he chose to drink 7/11 beverage instead of alcohol when we went to the pier)
He not only used his staff pass to give us discount (50% off!) at disneyland but also accompanied me in my last 2 days.
I am so grateful to him and he is really really friendly too.
The oddest meal must be the super ex $200 (yes omg) cafe dinner I had with HD, his gf Monica, James and Monica's ex-colleague.
It was kinda awkward? Coz they were speaking in Canto and first time HD introducing Monica as his GF hahaha.
But they were all really hospitable.
And I am so so happy for HD, because Monica seemed like a really understanding girl - which makes a good GF.
A compassionate guy like HD, deserves a good girl like Monica :)
And we went to this music gig which I really really enjoyed.
First time having free flow red wine and the music was so good - jazz and indie style.
The atmosphere was really chillax too.
Spent all 5 days with HD.
And I am really really grateful to him for taking care of me throughout the 5 days.
To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to the trip at all.
I was sick - physically and emotionally.
But, so glad I went ahead.
It became a healing trip and I have never felt so re-charged ever.
Perhaps being able to reach the peak of the mountain changed something in me.
I never thought I would be able to do it - we were literally climbing rocks to reach the peak.
But I DID IT.
Like what they say,
' Life begins at the end of your comfort zone'
I guess it's true.
It really does.
The upper half of 2016 was a mess - filled with drama and unhappiness.
But, when I left it all in July, I made a pact that the lower half will be good.
And it is.
I have moved on.
Can't wait for what the rest of 2016 have in store for me.
^^
