I finally got one free day at home and I can use the time to upload photos into my blog and blog about it. Not all the photos are being post here because I'm kinda lazy and i suppose that they are all in sequence. Haha.

All of us got to the airport at around 5plus in the morning and everyone eyes is still sleepy. Haha. Got everything checked in and went for breakfast before boarding the plane. 3 hours of flight and there we reached Hong Kong. Unloaded our luggage over at the hotel and made our way over to the Ocean Park.

When we reached the Ocean Park it was already 2plus and Ocean Park close at 6pm so time was very limited. But lucky for us we played almost all the exciting games! Everyone was supposed to meet at the exit at 6pm but due to the super heavy rain everything was bring delayed.

Poncho Gang. The poncho selling at the Ocean Park is HKD25 but if you buy it at the supermarket it's only HKD5. So much difference!!

We still got wet after wear the poncho.

Day 2, woke up super early in the morning to prepare for the Disneyland performance! And because we are performing at the Disneyland we gain ourselves free tickets to go into Disneyland after going back to the hotel to unload our instruments. Going into Disneyland is really going into a world of dream. It's a place where you would never want to come out from.

After Disneyland we took MTR back to our hotel and they have this special MTR just to bring you to Disneyland and the whole train is super made just for Disneyland.

It was all shopping during our free time at Hong Kong. We head to 庙街, 女人街and different shopping centre to shop. So we didnt took much photos during shopping. Haha. But we went to this 甜品shop for 甜品after shopping at 庙街for 2 nights. As 庙街is quite near to our hotel and the 甜品they sell is quite cheap.

Austin Road, where our hotel is located.

Mi Yan also bought us to the Avenue of Stars to watch the Symphony of Lights. Avenue of Stars is a place where different stars would put their hand print on to this square and the square would be place on the floor. What I read from the board, only stars that are famous enough would be able to leave their hand prints.

They also have very cute pushcart to sell food and help tourist taking photo.





We also went to attend the performing class at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts it's like our Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts over there. Their performing class room can be bigger and nicer compared to our CO room.

When our trip is near to the end, we wanted to go over to Hong Kong island to shop and also visit their place of interest. Mi Yan den suggested taking the ferry over as it is much cheaper and we also get a chance to take a look at the CBD over at Hong Kong island.

We had our second performance over at the Hong Kong Culture Centre 香港文化中心. It's like our Singapore Conference Hall SCH over here. We shared the same stage as the HKCO on the day of performance. The closing ceremony of the Hong Kong International Chinese Orchestra Music Festival is also being held there.

After the whole closing ceremony has ended, there's also a 庆功宴held at some i-dont-know restaurant. The whole 庆功宴on started at 12midnight, imagine us eating at that time and what time is it when we finish the whole meal.


Ah Gen and Mi Yan @ 庆功宴.

Everyone went over to 庙街to do some last minute shopping after the 庆功宴. It was really last minute as almost all the shop is closed already. But all of us still manage to buy things we want.

Headed over to the airport the next day afternoon, board the plane at 4plus and reached Singapore at 8plus.
