So my trip to Hong Kong started from the moment I left my office 2 hours earlier and was spotted by LTA officer. However, He let me go as he knew that I am on my way to catch a plane.
2nd item to note is that Cathay upgraded to Business class for my flight to Hong Kong... Although I wasn't allowed to use the lounge as mine was upgraded for free but the overall early check in and check out, the meal, space, seat and services all exceeded my expectation! It was truly a comfy journey to Hong Kong.
DAY 1 (7/8/2014) Friday
One my first day arriving Hong Kong, Jenny was waiting for me at HKIA, after I met her at arrival, we went to collect some souvenirs from Hong Kong and had some roasted meat for lunch/dinner. We then took bus from Airport to Tsim Sha Tsui which is where we will be living this time round. It was on an refurbished building along Lock Road, called BBB Inn.
After checking in, I took a short nap and we then went to the marriage registration office and checked with a lady regarding our booking for our registration in Hong Kong. After checking with them, we noticed that Jenny will have to fly in roughly on the 30/9 to submit all the documents in order to confirm our registration date on 30/12/2015.
We then went to 1881, a beautiful place where a lot of couple would take photos in and also the walk of fame along the jetty. To get a feel how it would be like on the actual day of our registration.
After traveling around, we then went to Fu Lum to have dinner with Jenny's family and her grandmother.
DAY 2 (8/8/2015)Saturday
We went for a quick breakfast at a Cha Chan Teng opposite our stay, and took taxi to Tsuen Wan to meet up with Jenny's mum and went to a temple together. After the temple, we went to grab a sip at a nearby restaurant and took a bus back to city to meet Jenny's big brother.
we had a meal together, and he got me some fish balls from the stall next door. Generally he is a very pleasant person. We discussed about university fees in Australia as his son is going to NSW in Sydney soon.
After meeting jenny's brother, we then went for a high tea at Habitu at Causeway bay. We had hot chocolate and pear fondant. We also went to a famous book store on the same floor. Jenny bought me a book called how to be interesting.
After buying a book, we then took the MTR to IFC and looked for the make up artist studio. When we were there, the make up artist is a very slim lady wearing a white t-shirt in her 30s. She looked generally weak and gentle but her price for a make up session is about HKD 3k. She helped jenny with about 2 combinations of make up but Jenny didn't really liked it. She decided to go with a lady which she had done a trial with previously called Eva and cost a lot cheaper.
After our make up session, we went to meet Edith and Desmond at white button. They treated us the meal and we went for a brief walk along the walk of fame. Our gathering with them ends prematurely as they went off before we managed to reach the walk of fame. I remember we had supper together that night. SINFUL!
DAY 3 (9/8/2015) Sunday
We went shopping at Giordano nearby, and then went to Fu Lum to have breakfast with Jenny's Uncle, Jenny's mum and also her grandmother.
At night, we went to Tsuen Wan to have dinner with jenny's UK Uncle and also 5th uncle ( Dad Side). We bought some biscuit from M&S. We went to play mario kart as well which is opposite the restaurant.
We learned about properties, Malaysia Politics, Singapore politics etc that night. It was rather an interesting gathering.
