Met up with Ann! My fellow SA mentor and it was so fun catching up and actually I cant believe after almost 3 years of not meeting up, we reunite in Hongkong! :) And to further illustrate how small Singapore actually is, Ann's friend Angeline, also a fellow ntu mate from comm studies, is my church friend Sarah's best friend! It was wonderful having girly company, talking about common topics and really just having a great time exploring Lamma island and its greenery together.
I think I walked a total of more than 5 km, up and down hill, stopping by small shops along the way and just taking in the beauty of the mountains, clear blue skies and the rural village life. Upon trekking for about an hour, we finally got to the Lamma Wind power station, kinda like a windmill! It was totally worth the trek, as we girls excitedly took many pictures, even asking a passerby to kneel down to take a photo for us! haha, thankfully she was so nice about it =)
Nearing sunset, we trekked up to this pavillion on a hill, with really a breathtaking view. Then, as night fell, we made our way in almost total darkness to this beach, what an experience! Caught the sunset there at the seaside, purplish skies and one of the few beaches I've been to here in Hongkong.
And of course, we ended our island trip with a seafood dinner at 'Sampan' Seafood restaurant near the pier. haha, it was challenging ordering food for 10 of us, but thankfully it came up to about 20sing dollars per person, not too bad eh! Managed to catch the 830pm ferry back to Central and I had a nice chat with Angeline, haha, it's funny how after hearing about each other for so long, we finally got to know one another personally =) I really look forward to more outings with Ann and Angeline, the Chinese babes(as the guys put it , haha) cos they're in Chinese Uni of Hongkong. I really do appreciate having girl company especially since we are all mostly on the same wavelength :)
It was a busy, eventful weekend again, exploring more of Hongkong. So once again, thank God I have mondays and tuesdays off from school.
9 more days to Home Sweet Home :)
