Hong Kong, September 2008

I had a great time. This trip has CONVINCED me that, HENCEFORTH, Isabel Tan Cjinh Ping will have to travel ALONE. (if she wants to have a blast and a GREAT time, that is).

Ok, I need to qualify this in case Hwee, Shann or Del are reading this!!!

I have greatest affection for the three of you, and I had a GOOD time with you all, but..... I like me better!

I had a GREAT time with me. ESPECIALLY at the Hong Kong museum of art. THAT was the highlight of my trip. Now, I know for sure that Shann and Del would NEVER have wanted to do that. And I would have felt "compelled" to join them for shopping -- which would have made me grouchy.

I even toyed with the idea of going to the opera at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre on my last night,-- I mean they were playing VERDI! That's like super hard to get tickets for in Singapore! BUT I made a friend during the course and she was keen on going out for drinks, and Anu invited her to go have drinks with her friends as well and I wasn't sure whether the dynamics would have been ok if I hadn't went so....... I gave the opera a miss...

Doesn't matter though, just means that when I head back to HK in 2009 or 2010 or 2011, I will HAVE to go to the opera. I know Anu will be pleased cos this means I have to go visit her again!

Will put up pics when I get organized. NOW, Isabel needs to sleep....

OK, I didn't know you liked visiting museums too! Cool next time if I go, I'll ask you to come with me. I hate it when other people look at me strangely when I start muttering to myself!
