5 years University Life review: Memorable trips(1)

As the time counting down, days are coming, i have to admit my 5 year university life coming to the end. I am closing down the curtain of my university life. I guess is time to do some review on some highlight and lowlight , up and down in this 5 years of vigorous life. 5 years??long??nt long also.short??not short too. But it do place a crucial role in my growth( i will review my feeling in next few posts). For as for now, throughout this 5 years, there are few memorable trips that i managed to join which leave me with wonderful experience which will remain my mind forever.

The most memorable trip is definitely my Hong Kong and USA trip in December 2008. It is church trip by which the main propose is to attend 2008 Winter Training in Anahiem, California. Thus, now economic crisis, no money,i also have to my trip expenses to be as cheap as possible. That why i stopby Hong Kong due to cheap Air Asia ticket and depart from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, USA via Taipei using China Airlines(cheap also).huhu.

Here is start!!!...

Departed from LCCT on 16 Dec 6.20am and reach Hong Kong International Airport same day 10.00am. This is my 1st time going Overseas beside Thailand and Singapore. kampung boy like me sure get excited lo..hehehe.

Reach Hong Kong airport, while waiting for a brother to come and fetch us to the accomodation place, i look around this airport. It is dream come true as i watched before the documentary about the building of this airport. It modern marvel as it is built on a reclaimed land as Hong Kong is already much crowded place. WOW, it just amazing to see this. Wish that Malaysia government can learn something from them.


Yeah, after been fetched by Bro Shu. he brought us to our accomodation place in the AUTOMATIC van. Hong Kong really advanced, everything also automatic. or i am kampung boy.hehe. I am staying in new territory or Xing Jie. Hong Kong is divided into three parts, Hong Kong island, kowloon and New territory. Journey took around 45 mins.

Reached my starting place, it is called Yuan qu. I can't imagine there is still places in Hong Kong which is so peaceful, not many high rise buildings, but only some high rise residantial buildings. each one more than 50 storeys Yuan Qu consists of three blocks, 1st block is for Full time training purposes which i am staying, 2nd block is for meeting hall, and 3rd is saints housing area. Look at it, i am quite sure if the church decided to sell this land, it will easily reach up to 30 million.not joking.

Beside the yuan qu is Hong Kong Heritage musuem and although this place is quite peaceful, but if want to go city centre, this place which is called Sha Tian contains two stations of MTR. so easily accessible. and one thing for sure, we no need to bring any cash around coz Hong Kong authority introduced multi purpose card, Octopus like touch n Go(not widely used yet). Every where in Hong Kong , you can use it. So just bring this card, and you will never get lost in Hong Kong. So as for 1st day, we were bought to visit Tsim Tsa Chui in Kowloon. no idea what it is all about.

Ya. Tsim Tsa Chui is the last place in kowloon by which the next station is in Hong Kong island. It is a must visit place for those who come to Hong Kong. It is river side bay by which many Hong Kong series took scenes here as the view is just fanstastic, as we walk along this bay, all Hong Kong famous building like IFC, HK exhibition center, Bank of China HQ are under our eye. Besides that, as we walk, we will reach Walk of Fame whereby many chinese artists have their hand print there like Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai and etc etc etc. Even some dead artists "star" is there.Bruce Lee!!. They have a bronze statue for Bruce Lee. It definitely a romantic place to go. definitely it would be wonderful experience for couple.Too Bad my companion that time is a guy..lolz. And look at picture, is quite blur..not my camera skills lauya. But Hong Kong pollution is quite high.

Okla. that all for my 1st day in Hong Kong. 2nd day follows next.......
