yesterday was National Day public holiday so it was an 'official' day off yay!
My fun and friendly colleagues arranged to go to Ma Wan as one of them has a flat there. Ma Wan, aka Pak Lai Wan, is a v beautifully developed residential area on an island. We took a ferry across the harbour and went to his flat and played Wii for 2 hours

It's my first time playing that fun and exciting game! Then we went down to his clubhouse and play badminton for another 1+ hours. My labmates stayed on to play a bit more badminton before going back to his flat for more Wii. I missed their seafood dinner which was arranged to start at 8.30pm, as I had another group gathering to attend
This colleague is a v practical person. He designed his flat in a practical way and he v proudly commented that it's his 'dream house'. And I definitely agree! 他所擁有的都好令人羡慕: 一手好廚藝,一對恩愛的夫妻,一個簡單實用的屋企 (還有一個設施完善的 clubhouse), 窗外有一望無際的海...... 這樣的人生,或許是一些人夢寐以求的。不是人人能夢想成真,不過聽著這位朋友向我們介紹他的 dream house 時,我為他感到很高興

From Ma Wan, I took the ferry back to the Central piers, and went onto another ferry to Mui Wo. It's P's (second) housewarming party so I joined his huge group of coursemates for dinner

I ate so much that I still feel bloated today! It was a nice time chatting and munching together. Then I took a late ferry back to Central before heading home.
haha so yesterday was a day I spent at sea and on islands

I am really happy that Hong Kong still manages to keep these outlying islands in a good state for people to live and visit. I always enjoy looking across the harbour, blowing the sea breeze, and travelling out to sea whenever I have the time. HK is a great place and I'm happy that I'm finally back home
