Makan Sutra with regional colleagues

Hi guys, 

I just realised I missed out this post and it has been sitting for quite sometime in my draft.

So last year...yep...I think it was around May...or June...LOL

My office has regional kick off meeting.

Although I'm not attending this meeting but I got to meet my colleagues from different countries!

Yes, I handled aka support those representative offices in the Philippines and Myanmar so I've got to liaise with them in daily basis :-)

And when they came for this meeting, I use this opportunity to sneak in to their hotel and bring them out for...dinner! It was FUN indeed coz we are almost in the same age *ahem* and we can talk and talk for hours sharing experiences, cultures, stories, and many many more!



On Friday, I went to their hotel first to meet them, as well as pass them the pasalubong (souvenirs/ oleh-oleh/ omiyage, whatever you called them) for the Philippines office. And then we proceed to Makan Sutra, HERE






After fill our stomach with the good food, we went strolling around MBS, Millennia walk, and etc etc until midnight. 


Me- Indo, Rachel-Myanmar, Sharon- Philippines


Sadly now one of them already graduated, but we're still friends and we'll keep this memory to ourself (and the rest of you, my readers)

Thanks for the good (and international) friendship :-)

HK Day 4 and last day home to Singapore

Last post of HK! 






First, we went shopping and shopping

and then lunch at Itamae sushi. 

Best sushi ever!?

Hmm not bad but the best sushi still in Japan, hehe. 




Not much photos during shopping. hehe. 

Btw,

This is our view from the top floor of the hotel. 





And the view when the sun sets down...



This is the...ermm...Times Square.


Last year me and Giselle always come here coz we're staying hotel nearby. 




After sun goes down, we went for second round...which is...

Lan Kwai Fong!


We took tram to Lan Kwai Fong









And here we are, mock/cocktail with the girls talk and counting hours before tomorrow's flight... 





And we roaming around the city, by foot. It was so freezing cold and strong wind but the liquor makes us warm....

We went back to hotel for another round of girl's talk and I dip myself in the hot bath up wuahhh SO HEAVEN!!!!

Next day, is our last day in HK.

Me and Yanting went to Ladies Market again early in the morning to buy souvenirs (last minute one) and ate breakfast there. Chinese breakfast, indeed.... 

And Ledy sleep in more and went to the nearby cafe to have her english breakfast. Oh ya talking about this cafe, I really love the concept of this cafe. It is bright and lots of chairs and lots of details/ decoration, but the food is so so...I just love their coffee which I believe their specialty! 







Morning market

Noodle as breakfast 



Then after that we checked out hotel and took shuttle bus to the airport. But before our flight, we visited Ledy's uncle house to have lunch. 

Thanks to Ledy, now we got to experience Hongkong home cooked lunch (even if its cooked by Indonesian, LOL) and got to see how is Hongkong apartment look like. Apparently the house quite spacious,  not like the one that always seen in the HK drama....And one thing I realised about HK people, correct me if I'm wrong and pardon me if I'll offend someone. 

But I realised that they speak fluent English and fluent Chinese....perfectly....
As in when they speak English, they really speak PROPER English with British accent and in a full sentence.  And when they speak Chinese, it's a PROPER Chinese with China accent and a full sentence. Sorry, not like me who speak Singlish. I mean, speak English but in Singaporean accent. I'm ashamed!?
LOL. 


Me and little rabbit (my Chinese zodiac) 


Oh ya, Ledy's uncle is very kind person, not only they hosted lunch, they also open up a bottle of wine for us. Some more we finished the whole bottle ops so paiseh....And they even sent us by car to the airport. Thanks, uncle....This hospitality breaks my image about snobbish and rude Hongkongers. Indeed they are very friendly and hospitality but if only you know them well (as friend or relative)? 

After that home sweet home and finally the holiday is over :-(






 Last picture, must take photo one especially fly with Cathay! HA!
