...so good to take a break


Was away in Hong Kong from 20 - 22 Nov. Wifey suggested a trip to watch the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Open Squash. The top 10 men and ladies players were competing.
Managed to watch the quarters and semis before flying back to Singapore. But the standard of play was amazing - the speed, the pick ups and the deception! Totally different from watching club level players.
Speaking of clubs, the Hong Kong Football club also hosted a 3-pax team tournament. Kenneth took part as part of Singapore Cricket Club Team 1 with Udai and Vivan. Unfortunately, they met the eventual winners (a professional team from Hong Kong). However, it was good to visit the club; especially with the open bar!
Hong Kong as usual is full of good food and we enjoyed the clay pot dinner at a dingy place that Ken recommended, a wonderful shark fin lunch and some good tim sum at Pacific Place.
It was a great break - relaxing and really didn't have to do much. .... so good to take a break!
