title: back with a tummy full of dimsum! yozzaaa! Imma back from Hongkong! Here's a quick summary of the trip. Natural bouldering was fun and I really pushed myself to try difficult routes with grades V3 and up. Managed to send a V5, almost sent a V7. So close! But nonetheless it was a very good second experience of natural bouldering. Company wise, it was awesome! 23 people carrying 11 crashpads travelling through the busy streets of Mongkok to get to the MTR. Weird glares and stares from the public as they have never seen people carrying such items. Searching for the boulders were a bitch though. Cold windy days along the coast for the first two days. 270m-above-sea-level hikes really made us wonder if the trip up to the boulders were worth it. However, managed to find Colins and we just stayed at one area! Haha. As for food, hmm, I would say that Hongkong is one of the best places for food coz THEY WERE ALL SO YUMMY! Couldnt get enough of the dimsum, soyabean, char siew rice, wanton mee, etc etc. Heh. Hongkong is famous for their shopping! Heh so everyday we would just jalan2 around Mongkok area and bargain once in a while at Ladies Market. Muahahaha. So there you have it! Short write up of how I spent 13 days in HK. Now, where shall I plan for next? Hmm... |

title: 我去香港哦! 4th time heading to HongKong. Different reason this time. This time round I'll be there for 13 days. The longest time I'll be spending there. This time round no more injury excuse. MUST psyche myself everyday to climb hard!
Speaking of trips, am in the midst of thinking about my next trip, which will most likely to be in June. Not sure how many weeks I have, but perhaps 2 weeks is more than enough. Jensen's going up to Font again. SIGH wish I could go back there. Really miss that place. AHHHH I remember that one day where I took 'off' from climbing, and the 3 boys went by themselves. I had the whole house to myself! So I washed my clothes, surfed the internet, talked to Neil's wife, bouldered a bit in the small gym, played with chickens haha. Aww and Oliver, the boy who held my hand when I asked him where the key he was holding led him to. Cutest boy ever! His mom was HOT. And the family was friendly! Awesome and laid-back lifestyle indeed. I wouldnt mind spending just 2 weeks climbing there. Maybe 1 day drive up to Paris to shop. But Mr Chen wants to go somewhere else. ): Let's hope he changes his mind. Hiakhiak. |
