Woke up at around 7+ or 8+ in the morning.
Though the night was chilly but I still prefer this kinda weather! (rarely/don't weat, lol.)
--There's no need for deodorant.
We then proceeded to have breakfast & "yum cha" (drink tea) at a restaurant nearby named
"Dong Hai Ming Zhu" (Pearl of the Eastern Ocean???) LOL
Ate quite a bit of dianxin, had some tea, took a couple of photos together with the big group of relatives and bade them farewell temporarily as we hopped on a taxi to Foshan train station. We headed for Kowloon, Hung Hom Station (Hong Kong) and the train started travelling at about 10:56am.
Ok, I admit I led everyone to the wrong carriage at first. (Didn't realise there were numbers...)
Only realised it while we were relaxing and a Chinese couple came and told us we were in the wrong carriage, lol.
But the carriage is cool, it has space for like 6 persons. The train ride took quite a while, like 3 hours? So, my grandad, aunt Foon Yoong, Cousin Audrey and I chatted, then got tired, ZzZz-ed woke up, realised we're not there yet. It then got really BORING. Audrey took some pics again, but it was difficult to capture photos of the scenery as the train was moving, too bad..
But from the stories grandad told me, I learnt lots of precious stuff from him.
There was even once when he gave all his money which he had on him to a friend working for him! (His friend's dad's life was in danger) They acutally got to meet on our return as well! Their friendship has also continued for 60 years already! (Grandad is 85 and his friend, 88)
As a person, one should always be thankful for what you have, wear a smile,
say a polite 'thank you'.
When you meet a bad friend, "Stop!"
Arrived at Hung Hom Station (Kowloon) at around 2pm, where we met Uncle Kenny, Kin Yuen(my distant relative, not just any uncle on the street). He's a really friendly guy, above all, he knows how to speak English, thank God. Finally, some better communication, lol :)
We took a cab & arrived at my "gu po" 's house, who is my grandfather's younger female cousin.
Ah. Flats in Hong Kong are really cosy! In other words, small. lol
Gu po's maid knew how to speak in cantonese!!! I feel so ashamed, haha..
We had some fruits then chatted on and on and on...till..I went for a nap, lol.
Woke up at 6pm (DINNER TIME!) We met uncle Ronald (Kin Hang) who was uncle Kenny's brother, together with his girlfriend, Coco.
Yes, you got it. We proceeded to a restaurant nearby for dinner without delay.
Wow, we had some really good food there in HK as compared to those in CN!
As usual, we chatted for quite a while & took some photos.
The fun part was after dinner, where I spent the 1st night in HK, in perhaps the most memorable way. Uncle Kenny brought us around by taking a public bus going through Mongkok, Jordon, Tsim sha sui etc. We then arrived at Tsim sha sui (jin sha zui --hanyupinyin)
The night scenery was really awesome with the cloudy weather, the river scenery resembling that of Singapore River, but a larger version of it.
We walked through the path called (Xing Guang Da Dao) with some artistes names engraved on the ground & the nicest decorations were the small holes emitting light from the ground.
Took quite a number of pictures there as well..
Twinkle twinkle little star,
up above the world so high,
like a diamond in the sky,
twinkle twinkle little star..
light up the night as bright as day.
