Shaolin Bloggers & The Wishing Tree

Friday, March 16th, 2012

When we arrived at the Lantau Island, we started on our ‘hunt’..

We went through this tiny town to find an NFC tag poster.

They had this thing there in the town.. we couldnt resist but to pause our race and grab a photo of us with the board lol

We then arrived at this wishing tree

We hung around the area checking out the tree

Wanted to write some wishes here but then it was already time for the next hunt!

We ran up the fleet of stairs….

… and made it to the top.

NEXT UP! BIG BIG BUDDHA!

Try Something New With Nokia At Ngong Ping Cable Car. I Planked!

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

On the 3rd day in HongKong with Nokia, we gathered at the coffee house early in the morning for breakfast

It didnt last long as we had to start our filming and adventure straight away after breakfast.
Since the whole theme of the trip was TRY SOMETHING NEW, we were given the new devices; Nokia 600, 700 and 701 to use for the whole of the trip and to go on an AMAZING RACE kinda competition.

Our first location… NGONG PING 360 CABLE CAR! It was really something new as all of us have not tried this before.

We were divided into 2 teams. Filming crew were divided into 2 to follow us around.

OK! Let’s go on the cable car!

I just had to take some photos of myself

Nokia got us the DIAMOND cable car.. with glass floor.. it was super scary being able to see how high we were above ground.

Was I the first to plank in the cable car?

We Got Personal With Nokia In HongKong

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

After leaving SOHO, we went back to the hotel to shower n stuff.. then at about 6pm, we gathered at the lobby and all went to the convention center to attend the Nokia event (which was also the reason why we were in HK).

At the convention center, there were girls with signboards that says “This Time It’s Personal” guiding us to the location.

We arrived and registered ourselves.

Got ourselves some welcome gift and a blue drink!

So what exactly were these blue drinks? Until now I am still clueless.

It was about to start..

I went and checked out the view outside before it got dark.

…. and we then waited for the presentation to start

Everyone was waiting too.

Check out the video I recorded there
