Day 4

Today, we tried something new in Macdonald for breakfast that consists of pork sausages. 

After that we headed to ngong ping by the cable car and we were able to enjoy hongking's beautiful scenery and airport from the view. 

When we arrived, we rehearsed for our performance and performed. We really felt joyful when tourists from other countrys recognized the songs and sang along with us! Later, we walked up 400+ steps just to see the world's largest buddha statue. 

We were exhausted when we reached however amused. we tried vegetarian food for lunch. We had free time after that for shopping and we headed back to kowloon. We went for dinner and headed back to the hotel.

Day 3: Flight of Fantasy

The highlight performance and visit of this one week trip is here, staged at the world-famous, spectacular, and wonderful world of Disneyland, Hong Kong. We were exhilarated during this much awaited performance; it was a privilege to perform at such a world-renowned location.

We performed all seven songs, before being free to explore the park and to take rides. The most enjoyable of all rides was the RC Racer track, a horseshoe shaped roller coaster track in Toy Story Land, where the car reaches to great speeds at both ends!

During the duration of the time spent for leisure at the theme park, we have also watched the Flight Of Fantasy parade, the graceful Lion King Festival and the final Fireworks performance!

Day 2: Exchanging cultures, learning experiences.

Today is the second day of our much anticipated seven-day trip. We kick-started the day by visiting Hong Kong's landmarks in Hong Kong Island, such as the Forever Blooming Golden Bauhina Sculpture, which was a gift from Mainland China to Hong Kong. The golden colour of the flower and the red colour of the stand was both favoured by the Chinese, and red symbolises prosperity. We also went to Repulse Bay and Aberdeen.

The main focus of our trip was the exchange programme with CCC Kei San Secondary School. After warm greetings between schools, we started the programme with our performance of Do Re Mi, My Favourite Things, and The Lonely Goatherd. After our performance, our host played three songs, one English (Hymn of Promise), and two Cantonese songs. Following their performance was a combined vocal practice with Ms Khor educating the host students and us to serve as an example to the students. 

After our vocal practice was a guided trip around CCC KSSS with the students being paired with us, and then guiding us around the secondary school. The host students were hospitable in their efforts for the tour, being friendly in their communication, courteous in their guidance, and even though there was a significant language barrier they were willing to close and remove that barrier.

After the tour was a round of light refreshments of cookies and cake, followed by a round of goodbyes

First Day In Hong Kong

After weeks of preparation and anticipation, we finally set off for Hong Kong today!  It was a morning flight and most of us were already at Changi Airport Terminal 3 by 7am.

Our plane took off at 9am and we arrived in Hong Kong at about 2pm. It was a relatively short flight.

When we landed, we went off for lunch at Popeye's, which is something like KFC. 

After lunch and depositin our luggage at our hotel (the L'hotel Nina in New Territories), we went off to visit the History Museum of Hong Kong. It was an eye-opening experience in which we got a better understanding of Hong Kong's geology, folk culture and history, such as the Japanese Occupation. 

After dinner we went to the Avenue of Stars, where we saw public performances:

And of course the dazzling city skyline of Hong Kong:

Hong Kong is a society which is very different from Singapore. We have six more days to learn about its language, culture and attractions. We also have a few performances coming up. Stay tuned! :)
