I had an awesome time in Hong Kong getting to know some of the youth leaders over there during the Singapore-Hong Kong International Youth Exchange Programme. Every single day was packed to the brim with activities! It was exhausting but very fulfilling!  

There’s really too much to write about, there’s even a whole blog about our journey! http://shinkyep.wordpress.com (We even had a social media team that took care of all the blogging during the trip.)

I was very honored to have been among the 25 Singapore Delegates selected. It was an amazing experience and I learnt so much! It was actually very cold over in Hong Kong (about 10 degrees), but the warmth of the Hong Kong delegates that hosted us made it very comfortable.

I’ll just post a few selective photos, since there are so many!

This is one of my favorite parts of the entire trip. We took a boat ride for about 2 hours to an Island called Tung Ping Chau. It was a gorgeous island, completely preserved, the waters were crystal clear. There was a bit of marine life, sea urchins, little fishes etc.

Me and some of the Hong Kong Youth Delegates! =D

The waves were HUGEEEE, the boat was tilting from side to side, like some amusement park pirate ship ride. But it was fun! And we played games on the deck!

I had a lot of fun with Jieying, all kinds of weird kung fu poses along the way. We had to climb these big rocky structures against the sea. This part you see is the easy part. After this we literally had to climb upwards with our bare hands!

This photo was taken by my friend on our trip back from Tung Ping Chau to Hong Kong Island. I was just admiring the beautiful sunset. =)

We pulled a special performance during our farewell dinner. =) It was hilarious!

As you can see, we do goof around a lot. =p

It was a beautiful trip, and I’m glad to have made so many wonderful new friends. =)
