Recently made a trip to Hong Kong to close the chapter there.
Since February 2009 I have been traveling in and out of Hong Kong due to work.
At first, I stayed in the newly opened hotel called Butterfly on Prat.
The name is a little er... off. To say the least.
You wouldn't want to be called a prat in UK!
However, the hotel is situated in a street named Prat, I guess it makes certain sense!
It's those boutique style hotel, cozy, modern and the kind of
modern simplicity design I personally like.
Prat Street is smacked in the middle of TST (Tsim Sha Tsui). A stone throw away from TST MTR station.
Great way for me to know the area!
Office is situated in the middle of Nathan Road, Mong Kok.
The night office renovation work completed

The regional team (Malaysia, Australia, China)
Mr CEO
The first 4 retail team members
First burst of marketing communication campaign (the one in the middle)
A short walk would land me in the midst of street market, IT mall and gadget centre where I eventually bought 2 HTC Magic the day it was launched, I also bought 2 HTC Touch 3G, 2 HTC Touch Cruise, a HTC Touch and 2 iPhone 3G.
My first Andriod phone
My favourite drink
Cafe de Coral (they have just rebranded it CdC)
Chianie, a friend I hang out with, she's been very helpful
I moved to Harbourview Horizon, a serviced apartment in Hung Hom overlooking Hong Kong Harbour when I have to spend more and more time in Hong Kong.
Minimalist and contemporary
Muted tones
Dark wood in bedroom

2 very different environment, one in the heart of Kowloon full of life. The other, a very quiet residential area.
It took me awhile to adjust to the new environment. But I have come to enjoy both for different reasons.
Watching the nightly light show and HK National Day celebration from the living room have been a great experience.
For 9 months, I focused a lot on work and my home in Kuala Lumpur has become secondary to me.
I became so objective driven that even when my home in KL was broken into, I continued to stay in Hong Kong knowing that I couldn't turn back the clock.
I left it to my wife Pam to sort things out. Looking back, I'm an ass!
Came October, I was exhausted, I needed to rest, to look after my health and to re-examine my life and purpose of life.
Ever since I left my high flying corporate life, I have wanted to lead a more balanced life. I still haven't found what I am looking for.
With my new found purpose, I am taking my first step into the unknown.
Interesting and intriguing. At the same time, I am a little uncertain and nervous.
I thank God for inspiring me to look at things differently.
I am now counting on the continual support and guidance from God to lead me through this new path which I know will be a great and meaningful path in life's lesson.
