12 hours from now. I will be in HK... hee.... Been to many places ard the world but not HK. Well, this is my virgin trip there. If you consider HK as China, then it is my second time there after 1998. Wow... very long time ago.
Anyway, went to change HK currency this afternoon. I realise something very funny. Their dollar (yes i know peg to USD) were issued by several banks. As such, HSBC issue its notes, so do Bank of China and Standard Chartered Bank. I cant believe it.
Except for the colour, the design looks pretty different. Initially, i tot it was issued in different series. I am wrong. Ok, call me "sua gu" if you like. Imagine SGD being issued by DBS, UOB and OCBC... ha... more vibrant rite. Nah... i think MAS is doing fine. Pple can get confused.
Woke up this morning to find out Mrs Abdullah (Msia Prime Minister's wife) passed away this morning. I was shocked cos she was pretty young, only 64. I guess Mr Abdullah must be in grieve. They had been together for 40 years. That's long! Senior cabinet members from Singapore were there. I saw PM Lee, SM Goh, DPM Jayakumar, President Nathan and their spouses. I would say we really treasure the strong relation with our friendly neighbours in the north.
Life moves on. I will be in bed soon. Got to wake up early! It's my maiden flight with Cathay too. I hope to see pretty stewardess, good food n good service...whahahaha.....
