Hong Kong Trip 2009 & Twinning Dinner with Leo Club of HK The Peak
On the 24th of June 2009, Leo Sheng Wei, Leo Eong Xien, Leo Jia Yi, Leo Samantha and guest Cindy embarked on a trip to Hong Kong. Despite initial fear of Influenza H1N1 contraction, we were set to make what is to be the final project of the fiscal year FUN. Armed with our masks, our goal was to eat, shop, play, socialize and eat.
We did a lot of exploring in the first 3 days, namely visiting tourist attractions like Tsim Tsa Tsui's Avenue of Stars, Mongkok's Ladies Market, Temple Street, Central Hong Kong's Mid-level Escalator, The Peak as well as Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. We quickly realize that there are so much options for the shopaholic. Imitation products on Ladies Market, sportswear in Mongkok or affordable apparels at H&M, it's a shopper's haven yet our tight purses kept us rooted to the ground. A bit potong stim, you see. Never mind, I could see Leo Sheng Wei taking interest in the next Hong Kong trip already. Right after his shop-til-you-drop Bangkok trip. ;)
In the eating department, there is certainly no short of supply! I've lost count how much meals and between-meal snacks with taken throughout the trip. We would like to thank Leo Samantha Yung of Leo Club of HK Peak for brining us around throughout the 5 days of our trip. The Mongolian hotpot/steamboat (火鍋) dinner she introduced us to was scrumptious, where we served a large plate of thinly cut slices of lamb. If you're a lamb lover, this is something worth trying. We were also introduced to one of the oldest traditional dim sum parlour (點心) in Hong Kong central. Things were done in the old-fashioned way, with staff pushing carts after carts of dimsum dishes. Other highlights of our food trip includes the oh-so-smooth Double Skin Milk 雙皮奶 @ Yik Sun, hot and fluffy egg tarts 蛋撻 from Tai Cheong Bakery 泰昌餅家, cold noodles at Mongkok street (Don't worry, we're talking about opening a KL franchise in 2015!) & the famous Hong Kong congee. The thing about Hong Kong food is that once tasted the good ones, you will never return to the mediocre counterparts found in KL.
On our last night in Hong Kong, our sister club Leo Club of HK The Peak hosted their anniversary cum twinning dinner. Since it was probably the first twinning project that any 5 of us experienced, it was great to see how lively and close their members seem to be. The dinner proved to be a great way to know new people, exchange ideas, observe different cultures etc. Although we barely knew most of them prior to the dinner but we quickly warmed up to them. We like to thank the Leo Club of HK The Peak for hosting us that night and also the Monopoly HK edition present. That night we actually played until 4am!
As we were to leave on Sunday evening, we only did some last minute shopping around Jordan area. Leo Samantha Yung brought us to the airport and sent us off. Our hearts were heavy, yet the trip has to come to its end. Nevertheless, the trip will always be etched in our memories. Last week, Leo Samantha Yung posted on her Facebook, saying that Leo Life has given her the opportunity to meet lots of, especially Malaysian friends. We agree wholeheartedly and probably as enthusiastic as she is, we are looking forward to their trip to KL already.
And we know where to start - food. =D
Here's to our 6 years of successful twinning, and more. Cheers!
Roar! Roar! Roar!

What you can do to help:
1. Join The Fun!
The least you could do is make yourself available on that day and come for the fun! There would be lots of food, items and entertainment for you to indulge in. And all of these are in the name of charity!
We are currently pre-selling coupon booklets, hence if you're interested, kindly contact one of the following committee members:
Leo Chia Sheng Wei - 012-6025735 (chiasw09@gmail.com)I'm sure we could arrange a COD around Klang Valley should you pre-order the coupons, so don't hesitate to get them early! After all, our Leos are everywhere. =)

1.1 If you couldn't make it... =(
We understand there are the lot of you who want to be there but:
A) You're in overseas.
B) You're occupied.
C) Sunday is a sleeping day for you...
...So fret not! On the day of the event, we plan to invite the children from Praise Emmanuel Children's Home (PECH) to join us. Hence, instead of buying the coupons and keep it, you could sponsor the children's expenses! Trust us, even a RM10 or RM20 sponsor would help a great deal! Whether you want to Maybank2u, Paypal or Snail Mail etc etc... just contact one of the above Leos and we shall get back to you!
2. Tell Your Friends & Family!
Post this on your blog, inform you family and invite your friends through the Facebook Event!
We need as much awareness as we could get and we believe that out of the 10 people you tell, at least 1 would be interested in the event. Soooooo... it's time to put your address list to good use and spread the word!
3. Sponsor Food or Give Us Stuff To Sell!
If you love cooking/baking, you could help by sponsoring some food items such as Fried Bihun, Sushi, Cakes etc! We understand that cost might be a problem, if you do not wish to fully sponsor the item, you could partially sponsor them. Just contact us and we'll give you the details!
Likewise, if you have old magazines or 2nd hand items that you think contain value, donate to us and we'll put it up on our jumble sale! Of course, don't just throw us old newspaper... =P
4. Volunteer Manpower!
Being a huge event, we need lots of manpower to organize the food items, to sell them and also to clean up! If you're free and would like to volunteer yourself, let us know! We'll be extremely grateful if you do!
Roarrrr!
