Hong Kong - Live It. Love It! 2007

Be a Smart Consumer (Singapore Airline)

This is my recently personal experience want to share with you. I tried to book a flight from HK to Singapore in November because of quiet season and cheap price. Therefore, I login to “www.singaporeair.com” and found the price was labeled as HK$1200 for return. Wow... it was cheaper than budget airline, e.g. Jet Star. Therefore, I quickly input my personal information and tried to book it online. The total price is HK$1540. Hey…. How comes the fare is only HK$1100? The price is different from the advertising in the main page. Even better… I then continue the process and ready to pay by credit card. However, the transaction was terminated with problem occurred during validating my credit card information. A dialog box also prompted and suggested not book the itinerary a second time as it might cause me second charge to my payment card. Oh….what could I do? I might lose this good deal? But I need to contact Singapore Airlines office for assistance in the next day morning.

On Monday morning, I phoned the airline and gave my name and credit card number for them to check if I have made the confirmation. The answer is “NO”. I therefore tried to book it again online. Same price quoted in the main page, HK$1200. Quickly key-in all details but found out the price now HK$1640? HK$100 more… I phoned to airline and they explained HK$1100 ticket is only available to book from Friday to Sunday and online. They couldn’t help me under any special situation.

I was so annoyed and kept checking their website during the week, and found out on Tue morning that HK$1200 ticket, early afternoon flight(13:30)was gone. Only late afternoon flight(15:30)or evening flight available! Oh…oh….my flight is gone…!! >_<

I have no choice. I was thinking I could only book Jet Star for HK$1800 if I really want to go there. Therefore, I was not in a hurry and eventually I waited until Friday morning, 12:00… I login Singapore Airline and tried my lucks …. Oh, the seat for early afternoon(13:30)is available and it is still HK$1100…. I now understand how a big company doing their business!! Do you have the similar experience?

Halloween - Ocean Park

Tuen Mun Park-- an oasis in the town centre

Today is a public holiday in Hong Kong, my family and I took a walk in Tuen Mun Park after having Yum Cha in a chinese restaurant. Tuen Mun Park is located at Tuen Mun Town Centre. The park provides a restful and recreational place to the residents in Tuen Mun. It is an ideal leisure haunt for a family to spend the Sunday there. There is variety of facilities in the park. For example, children can play in the playground and roller-skating rink. Moms take rest with their toddlers under the leafy shade. Some amateurs bring their chinese musical instruments like erhu to perform in the amphitheatre, the elders walk along the big artificial lake. There is also a model boat pool, visitors bring their electric driven boats to play. They can have a small game with other model boat lovers too. All of these form a harmonic scenery in the park Nevertheless, this time I felt a little disappointed since the Reptile House was closed (not sure if it is under reconstruction or due to the autumn-winter seasons?) I remember there're various species of reptiles including turtle and lizard, visitors can learn more about them. I must pay a visit when it reopens again.

A good swing

We HK people are usually lack of exercise, pretty out of shape. Having some work out in a closed gym is not really my cup of tea. On the other hand, outdoor jogging or some intensive ball game may be too much. So I really want to try something different and that is GOLF. Playing golf in HK cost me arm and leg and my skills are not up to par yet to play at the 18-hole course. An alternative option is to get some practice swing at the driving range. It doesn't cost too much to play at the range, $60 can get you swinging for an hour. Someone may think a girly swing will not make you sweat, however, that is totally wrong. In fact, it is a very good work out. It can also fine tune my swing to get ready playing at the golf course.



The pictures show the range surroundings and environment. It is a very nice equipped facility. It is easy to get there, take the MTR Tung Chung Line and get off at Kowloon Station, follow the sign and walk a few minutes to City Golf.

Lan Kwai Fong

It is 9:00 PM in the Friday evening, after a full week of hard working routine. It is about time for me to relax and enjoy the life. The first thing that comes up in my mind: "What about calling some buddies and hanging around at Lan Kwai Fong?" Sure Lan Kwai Fong is a very unique place that lots of bistros, bars and nightclubs sit in a tiny "L" shape cobble stone lane. It is located in the heart of Central surrounded by all the skycrapers. When the night is still young, the lane is packed with thousands of people who are looking for excitement.

Want to experience yourself? It is easy to get there, e.g. take the MTR and get off at Central, look for the sign directing to Lan Kwai Fong.
