We went to the Woman Street again, for the benefit of the ladies. There is really not much things to buy there. Very much like our Bugis street.

Sunday!

Went to the Kowloon International Baptist Church today for my first sermon in HK!
It is very near Kowloon Tong MTR and the traditional worship service starts at 11am. Its only a few stops from CUHK!
Next stop: Taipo market to join the rest of the gang!


We eat tou hua at this store. Its really amazing! esp after you add the orange ginger sugar!

People eating happily outside the shop. esp in cold weather! Shiok!

Taipo Market of course has a market!







Tortoise in nets and fishes dying. Quite sad to see them like this

Elephant clams?? They are really big!

Big Squids!

Then i rush back to Shatin to meet up with Bro Perkin!

Had a good chat with him and soon we were on a bus to Causeway Bay in Hong Kong Island
See the Christmas lightings on the building. Very nice!


Alighted at Sogo

There is this mascot in front of Sogo. Quite cute! Bro Perkin brought us all for a sumptuous claypot dinner (sry no pics..ha i too hungry liao...forget...but jieying got took some) and later desserts!

The famous pomelo sago dessert!








This is the under water tunnel that links Kowloon to Hong Kong island!



Whao! what an evenful day!
Really tired liao....

Before I go off,
message of the week from today's sermon

Acts 20:35

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak. remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'it is more blessed to give to give than to receive.'

Reflecting on the many blessings we have, we must not only give thanks to God but also to give what we have to others. What little to us may mean a lot to others. Really touched by the today's sermon. When we say " I Love You" do we take it as a throw away line? How much do we really mean it?
Be optimistic and the glass is always half full!

God Bless
