Back to school

Was in Hong Kong over the weekend for a university friend's wedding... very happy to see him tie the knot after 12 years of courtship =)

They took the effort to organise a Back to School theme wedding. Each guest received an orientation card with a picture, the banquet tables included childhood snacks and the serving staff wore harry potter-like costumes!

A short trip that was hectic but enjoyable nonetheless:
- chance to catch up with BS, JL and get to know LT
- first time in Shenzhen
- first time to visit Buddha at Lantau Island
- first time in the midst of typhoon 1 rating (not too exciting but the good thing was this happened on the last day of the trip)
- shopping! =P

But, there were some misfortunes too:
- booked hotel, printed confirmation but there was no address to our horrors! Thank goodness for the helpful MTR staff!
- booked hotel for the wrong date and ended up paying for an extra day =(
- left phone in hotel room but upon checking out realised my folly - phew!
- Reached airport early but I dallied and had only minutes to reach the gate but it was so far away and required me to take the shuttle trains! I ran with my stuff to reach the gate but ended up with a portion of my boarding pass missing! To my relief, another passenger picked up the lost portion and returned it to me just as the airline staff was about to question me =)
