Hong Kong – Day 1-2

Day 1:
My plane left Singapore around 11am on Sunday and arrived in HongKong 3 hours 20 minutes later. During the flight, I watched The Anchorman. Tried playing a few games, they’re all Gameboy Advance games. Meaning, most of them sucked.


The first scenery that greeted me when I stepped out the plane was a huge mountain, grayed out by mist/cloud. Impressive. Then the rest of the day, boss brought me around places sightseeing. We took the ferry across to the Hong Kong island, visited Times Square and Star Avenue. The thing I like about Star Avenue was the view of Hong Kong island and that the road had little LEDs that slowly change into a different color. This is also a place where people, hoping to strike big in the entertainment industry, start out by performing here.


Day 2:
Anyways, I’m writing during my lunch break. The food here is nice. The weather is cooling, it’s like whole of Hong Kong is air-conditioned, unlike Paris, where it’s in a freezer. Some places remind me of scenes in both Ghost in the Shell movies. First thing I get back is watch again the first movie.

Lots of confusion among my boss, me and the 2 guys assigned to help/train us. Basically, we want to import 2 sets of records into a database and link them up. But there’s no link between the both of them. We ended the discussion by just agreeing to come up with dummy data just to start programming and continue.


After work, we met up again with my boss’s friend, who was happily married to a very rich person. They bought their home up in the mountains of Kowloon, about 1.8K square feet, $18 million hong kong dollars. [X|]


Long story short, she brought us to her home where I helped to set up her printer on 2 computers and troubleshoot her internet connection. Then had a nice home-cooked dinner, and she brought us out for desert at a famous small restaurant and then up to The Peak. The top of the tallest mountain of Hong Kong I think. It’s freezing up there.
