The Hong Kong Trip Part 1

Hey all,
I am going to update to all of you about the HK Trip. I have to reach school at 2.30am on the 17th Dec.... at my surprise, there are already members waiting for me to open the gate.... wow, man they were excited.

The logistics team started the ball rolling by moving all the instruments from the hall down to the foyer to be loaded up to the lorry. It was really a fast one.... after that, I, Tze Huan, Weijian, Ian, Daniel and Hairiandy went up the lorry and we proceed to the airport first. Whereas the rest, they will get on the bus later to meet us there. At last we reached T1, we moved the instruments down to the check-in counter. We are taking the 1st United Airlines flight out to Hong Kong at 0650 hrs. At around 4am, we were allowed to check in our lugguges and instruments.... what a long queue....haha.... everything went smoothly.... God Bless.

After we have checked in, members slowly moved into transit area to clear customs. After that, we took a group photo inside the transit area. Before we moved into the boarding area, we went to get some food at Burger King. After chatting and eating, we moved into the boarding area.... of course u know, have to clear security.... wow, so many steps..... finally, we were off to board the plane.

In the plane, we managed to get breakfast and also watched a movie Evan Almighty. Is really funny. I managed to get some sleep as well.

Within 3 hrs, we have reached HK International Airport T2. I took the logistics team to clear customs first. We took the shuttle train to the immigration area. The train was fast.... after clearing the customs, we all get ready to take the members' luggages from the belt and also the instruments from the oversize luggage area. It was massive. When every member has claimed their luggage and instrument, we went out of the transit area. The tour guides were waving their cards at us... really a superstar like that...haha... from there we hopped on the coaches to the hotel. While going on board the coach, got some problem carrying the crates up, lucky with some thinking, it was up.

For Day 1, the first place we went was the Hong Kong Science Museum. We have learnt a lot of things from Physics and Biology. The most interesting thing in the Science Museum was the Energy Machine. We could see different balls going rolling at different places, making different noises.... really cool.

I have to stop here. I will update you all again.... maybe will beef up this update later. Take care. Will post the photos up soon.
