Hong Kong Trip (26th - 30th June)!
First of all, I would like express my greatest gratitude to Aunt Yoke Thye as she fully-sponsored me for this HK trip. Here’s a BIG THANK YOU!
To be more precise, it was actually Hong Kong & Shen Zhen trip. Well, HK is nice but it was raining everyday! Our best companion of the day would be our own umbrellas… =P
Day 0 – Li Guo, Zhi Yang and I took the KTM train from KL to Butterworth in order to meet Yen Wei… It was a 10 hours journey and I couldn’t sleep well in the train…

Day 1 - Headed to Penang airport to take flight to Singapore for transit to HK.
Reached Butterworth KTM station at 6am.
