View Full Version : Hong Kong Forumers' Meet-up!
vvill July 9th, 2005, 09:19 AM hi everyone...
summer time again.. guess most of you have already been back in hong kong or gonna be in hong kong some time during summer! >< the meet-up thing has been talked over and over again before but has never been realized.. so wonder if anyone's still interested...
hehe... put down your available times and see if we can make this happen! :)
cheers,
will
** hkskyline, book your ticket now! haha!
superchan7 July 9th, 2005, 09:20 AM 03-17 august
hyacinthus July 10th, 2005, 04:41 AM Would love see you guys meet up. It's fun! walk or drive around Hong Kong and bring us more pictures with interesting perspectives and probably a group picture for memories. ;)
HKT July 10th, 2005, 05:16 AM Hm...that sounds good, count me in.
Rachmaninov July 10th, 2005, 06:05 PM Anytime except on weekends!
Anekdote July 10th, 2005, 06:58 PM Oh a gathering :drunk:
Þróndeimr July 10th, 2005, 07:22 PM Sorry, perhaps next year though. :)
hkskyline July 12th, 2005, 07:17 AM I don't think I can make it this summer. I've flown way too much so far this year and I need to fail a few more students and make some money before I can fly again.
I guess I'll see most of you in merry old England.
Rachmaninov July 21st, 2005, 05:05 PM Anybody else?????
EricIsHim July 21st, 2005, 08:03 PM i would love to meet up with the fellow hk forumers in hk. but i am not going to be in hk for another yr. might be next year.
scorpion July 21st, 2005, 09:38 PM sorry, will be in HK in the fall...
:(
but looking forward to meeting all of you in the very-near future!! :)
vvill July 22nd, 2005, 11:08 AM ah.. so bad seems many won't be around in hong kong during summer.
will still try to organize one during early august... :)
van_gogh July 22nd, 2005, 11:42 AM leaving Shanghai on Aug 10th so I should be in Hong Kong after that
madousa July 23rd, 2005, 04:06 PM so do i
i would go HK if i could complete my couse this year
that i want go to HK to go on my futher study ,i would get postgraduate degree.
but i can`t make a decision that which major can i chose ,any suggestion?
Rachmaninov July 31st, 2005, 05:51 PM anybody else??!
vvill July 31st, 2005, 05:51 PM hi everyone...
seems that most ppl will be around in hk during early august... so... :) i've spoken to rach + initial.... and we think it'd be great to organize the forumers' meet-up thing on 12 August.
i guess most would be able to come cos it'll be a friday night!
we haven't got a great idea on where to meet... so will need some suggestions here... preferrably somewhere comfy to sit and eat (with a view?) then can go and take pics?
i'd say like... maybe around 730pm on 12 August....
all suggestions for locations are welcomed! :)
your support is the most important though.
vv
Rachmaninov July 31st, 2005, 05:53 PM We need support!
superchan7 August 1st, 2005, 05:44 PM I'm in.

superchan7 August 6th, 2005, 01:50 AM I'm here, but I'd need to West Rail it out because I'm in northwest NT.
londonindyboy August 6th, 2005, 01:57 AM NICE I WISH IF I COULD BE THERE TOO. BUT WHEN I WILL GO TO HK NEXT TIME I WILL DEFINATELY TAKE SOME PICS.

vv
Rachmaninov August 6th, 2005, 06:43 PM Actually we have plans for huaiwei if he's coming...
hkskyline August 6th, 2005, 07:05 PM Maybe I should have flown back instead of going to Detroit.
ailiton August 6th, 2005, 07:27 PM are you serious?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!!?!
hey so are you coming?
or are you not in hk, aliton?
I'm not in HK so I can't come.
Please take some group pictures. I already know how some of you guys look like though.
ailiton August 6th, 2005, 07:28 PM Actually we have plans for huaiwei if he's coming...

Hehe...sorry about that. I chose IFC since it is where I'm working now, 1IFC and close to my home in Wan Chai. Of course it is also home to the currently tallest building in HK...:D
HKT August 7th, 2005, 02:37 PM Maybe I should have flown back instead of going to Detroit.
Well, Detroit is just couple hours of driving from Toronto. I'm sure this can be done anytime during the year....

dec 19-29
Manila-X December 8th, 2005, 11:23 AM I'm in Manila right now but be back in HK after Christmas :)
Aboveday December 8th, 2005, 06:16 PM I always in Hong Kong.
vincent December 9th, 2005, 10:07 AM anyone interested to have a helicopter tour together?? we can share the cost, and take lot of pics of course.
vincent December 9th, 2005, 10:11 AM more info
http://www.heliservices.com.hk/ (http://www.heliservices.com.hk/price_list.html)
http://www.helihongkong.com/ (http://www.helihongkong.com/?structure=002&content=96)
Aboveday December 9th, 2005, 11:54 AM sign me up!
HKT December 9th, 2005, 02:48 PM Me 3
Manila-X December 9th, 2005, 04:39 PM A helicopter tour would be an excellent idea :)
superchan7 December 9th, 2005, 09:16 PM I'm so in....pending availability.
vvill December 9th, 2005, 11:50 PM 19/12 till 8/1. :)
ferrariguy December 9th, 2005, 11:51 PM meeeeeeeeeeeee
Anekdote December 10th, 2005, 02:09 AM next year :)
superchan7 December 10th, 2005, 02:49 AM Hmm, it looks a bit pricey. Oh well...the experience should be worth it.
vincent December 10th, 2005, 03:20 AM wow, GREAT!!! so many people now. Dividing that to like 5 or 6 people really reduce the cost significantly!!
I will be in HK from 12/15 to 1/7. (hopefuelly the Korean air pilot strike will end before 12/15!!)
vincent December 10th, 2005, 03:23 AM So people that will go are
me, Aboveday, HKT, ferrariguy (are you from hk? i don't remember seeing you in hk forum before)
I need a more definite answer from: WANCH, vvill, superchan7
(looks like we got too many people, the max number of passenger allowed is like 5 or 6??)
the next step is to decide which package we should go with. Maybe we can ask the helicopter company to have a customized "skyscraper tour" route??
superchan7 December 10th, 2005, 03:38 AM I can give a definitive answer if there is a definite date. I cannot go on certain days due to family business and a possible trip to Taiwan. Even these dates have not been set but I will try to plan around this event. We could separate into two tours if we have too many people, haha.
Sher December 10th, 2005, 03:53 AM The 30 min ride should be enough to take some decent aerials of both sides.
I wish I be there on Dec... How about next year too!? :D
Anyway, make sure pick a good day! :)
vincent December 10th, 2005, 03:57 AM The helicopter used in helihongkong is a 6-seater.
And the one from heliservices is a 5-seater.
I was thinking to take some photos at nite (like right after sunset), and maybe one in daytime. Depending on your preference, we probably can have two flights.
The Night tour package from helihongkong is Sat only, meaning there would not be as much lights in buildings compared to weekday nite. The one from heliservices doesn't mention whether night operation is allowed. I will call both companies and see what options we have.
vincent December 10th, 2005, 04:04 AM i found some packages for christmas

hkskyline December 10th, 2005, 04:57 AM $4800/6 = $800 each ... not bad compared to other cities
I posted a special back on National Day I believe. The thread should still be somewhere in this forum.
Skybean December 10th, 2005, 06:15 AM Forget about Ferrariguy, I believe this guy was just joking. He's been banned now anyways.
Won't be going this year... usually have a two year gap between visits, and I came last Christmas. But I look forward to your photos! :happy:
spicytimothy December 10th, 2005, 09:10 AM :-( everyone's back in HK except me... why do I have to be so poor? :-(
Sher December 10th, 2005, 11:20 AM Remember don't fight to get the best seat! :D
Oh, and grab a video cam too!!
your job, HKT! ;)
ailiton December 10th, 2005, 11:23 AM Remember don't fight to get the best seat! :D
No. Remember to fight during the flight and then fall out from the chopper.
Headline news.
Syd-Hk December 10th, 2005, 11:27 AM :-( everyone's back in HK except me... why do I have to be so poor? :-(
i won't be as well :-(
Sher December 10th, 2005, 11:28 AM :hilarious
Sexas December 10th, 2005, 08:55 PM I dont' fight I just push and the best seat is my......ha ha ha
sorry guys I just got back from Hong Kong like two weeks ago :( wish can stay longer, guess I need to wait for my piggy bank fill up again.
scorpion December 11th, 2005, 01:00 AM :cheer: :dj: :grouphug:
rt_0891 December 11th, 2005, 05:21 AM :-( everyone's back in HK except me... why do I have to be so poor? :-(
You're not alone :( Stupid Uni commitments keeping me over the holidays.
superchan7 December 11th, 2005, 06:28 AM Any confirmation of date for a Heli tour? I'm dying to go....
vincent December 11th, 2005, 09:20 AM it is really hard to set a definite date, visibility in Dec is always hazy. We may have to cancel couple times before we actually make the trip. How about everyone who wants to go post a time frame where you are free??
for me, i would say from Dec 18 to Dec 31st
HKT December 11th, 2005, 02:22 PM It would be nice if the tour is going to be held on 26th.
Aboveday December 11th, 2005, 03:47 PM I will be available on 18,25,26,27(public holidays)....
spicytimothy December 11th, 2005, 09:56 PM For those of us who can't go... can we be assured that there'll be pictures posted? I'm particularly interested in the various constructions going on all around HK that doesn't have much exposure here...
hkskyline December 11th, 2005, 09:57 PM There are so many people with so many cameras. There ought to be photos. I'll even provide the hosting free of charge. Now nobody should have an excuse to keep his camera idle.
superchan7 December 11th, 2005, 11:48 PM I arrive on the evening of the 18th. At the earliest, I will probably be available on the 20th or 21st. I mean, the tour is quite short and I probably have time for at least one meal.
vincent December 12th, 2005, 01:42 AM looks like our time frame match except the superchan7's. I am assuming you all want the day tour, right? then doing that in holiday should be alright since there won't be difference. If we do nite tour, we need to pick non-holiday to get more building lights. And you may need SLR with good lens etc to get good nite shots, except if you are taking video only.
vincent December 12th, 2005, 01:43 AM so WANCH and vvill, are you guys going?
superchan7 December 12th, 2005, 06:01 AM I'd go on the day tour...there's more to see. I should also be available on 25th-27th and would be sad to miss it =(
vincent December 12th, 2005, 11:13 PM so 26th is the date that all of you is available. I will try to call the companies and ask for more info when i get time. If any of you is free, feel free to call them as well.
vincent December 14th, 2005, 04:15 AM so WANCH and vvill, are you guys going?
anyone?
bs_lover_boy December 14th, 2005, 12:16 PM YOU BUMS!!!!
I miss out again!!!!! Back in HK next summer!!!!
_00_deathscar December 14th, 2005, 05:37 PM In HK from Dec 11th to Jan 1st!!!
vincent December 15th, 2005, 10:10 AM i think we need to setup a date which we all meet in hk to discuss about what we should do together. Like skyscraping, taking pics etc
superchan7 December 15th, 2005, 10:18 AM My schedule has been finalized. I will be in Taiwan from 22~25 December. Those are the only days that I absolutely cannot attend any events in HK.
vvill December 15th, 2005, 12:33 PM so WANCH and vvill, are you guys going?
hey sorry vincent, i may join you guys afterwards.
i'm too poor at the moment to afford the 800HKD. =.=
vvill December 15th, 2005, 12:33 PM i think we need to setup a date which we all meet in hk to discuss about what we should do together. Like skyscraping, taking pics etc
definitely up for that!
InitialD18 December 16th, 2005, 08:44 PM hey vincent i am in for the skyscrapers photos not the helitour though ... i think rach should be back too ...

ailiton December 18th, 2005, 08:13 AM When's the meeting and where? It'll be conducted in English right...I can't speak Cantonese (ashamed)
Of course it will be in Cantonese la.
hkskyline December 18th, 2005, 08:16 AM Maybe I'll set up a teleconference with everyone from New York.
spicytimothy December 18th, 2005, 09:23 AM maybe we can all Skype!
superchan7 December 18th, 2005, 10:43 AM So when is the meetup and when is the heli tour? Are they both on Dec 26 as vincent suggested?

scorpion December 19th, 2005, 03:54 AM right let me try to sum up all the people who'll be in hk over christmas.
and everyone will be expected to come to the forumer's meetup! no excuses. keke...

isan
_00_deathscar

hey everyone! :) i'll know in a couple days if I'm flying out just then-- I would be thrilled to meet all my HK brothers (and sisters??), I'll check this thread in next days!~~~ :)
:cheers: :grouphug: :eat: :dj: :bowtie:
vincent December 19th, 2005, 06:17 AM Checking back the forum for the first time in HK. Too busying taking pics, and eating dinner with relatives.
Here is the schedule for forumers that are in HK:
vincent: now to Dec 23 or 27th (depending on my travel schedule to Shanghai and Beijing), will be back on 31st, and Jan 5th to Jan 7th (yes for heli tour)
rach: ???
initiald: anytime?? (no heli tour)
hkt: always (heli tour preferred date: 26)
superchan7: dec 19-29 except 22~25 December for taiwan
aboveday: always (heli tour preferred date: 18,25,26,27)
isan: after Xmas (After Dec 23rd, and 24th??) (no heli tour???)
_00_deathscar, Dec 11th to Jan 1st (no heli tour)
willie: 19/12 till 8/1 (no heli tour)
Wanch: after next week (dec 26th???) (no heli tour??)
spicytimothy: not in hk???
scorpion: in hk now??
vincent December 19th, 2005, 06:29 AM Looks like we need to have a short meeting sometime in weekday (not weekend), how about in 22nd or 23rd at nite?? meet in Aqua in Peking road 1???
vincent December 19th, 2005, 06:47 AM in terms of heli tour, i have observed in the last couple of days that whatever object is backlighted, it would look hazy (basically whenever u look toward the south like HK island from kowloon). I personally think night looks clear is any direction. So i persoonly prefer right after sunset where light is still plenty, and u still have the sunset and no hazy effect.
_00_deathscar December 19th, 2005, 07:23 AM I'm sorry fellow forumites but it is VERY unlikely I'll be able to make it to any meetings this Christmas. My cousin's coming over on the 21st and hence I'll be busy showing her around Hong Kong (and taking photos of my own obviously).
Hopefully in summer!
superchan7 December 19th, 2005, 09:38 AM I'm finally in HK. If I'm not here for the first meetup on 22-23rd of Dec, just post the news here and I will join the heli tour and hopefully whatever else you guys have planned.
I'll be leaving for Taiwan this Thursday, returning on Christmas Day.
Aboveday December 19th, 2005, 03:03 PM vincent:
yes, a meeting @ 22-23 pls. :)
vincent December 20th, 2005, 05:53 AM okay, Dec 23rd, 6pm, right outside the tst clock tower next to the star ferry?? (right outside all those board for the waterfront beautification program thing, and the board closest to the clock tower)
HKT December 20th, 2005, 12:08 PM I just found out that 27th is also a public holiday so I am free that day.
Anyway, I'll try to come on 23rd.
Aboveday December 20th, 2005, 02:35 PM how about 630pm?I off at 530pm everyday...
Manila-X December 20th, 2005, 04:33 PM I'll try to catch an early flight to HK on the 26 :)
Looking forward to this meetup :)
vvill December 20th, 2005, 04:37 PM vincent,
me and steve (initiald18) won't be free on 23rd... and 27th will be better..
vv
spicytimothy December 20th, 2005, 06:16 PM don't forget to post pics of the meetup!
scorpion December 21st, 2005, 05:22 AM will find out tomorrow~~ yes, definitely heli-tour post-sunset to maximise pics!!
:)
hkskyline December 21st, 2005, 05:44 AM Won't it be hard to take photos at night in a moving helicopter?
_00_deathscar December 21st, 2005, 05:44 AM If we can make it to 6.30 PM I can make it!
Sher December 21st, 2005, 07:14 AM Won't it be hard to take photos at night in a moving helicopter?
Exactly. i don't think you can take good pics after 5:30pm in the heli, but would be great for videos. :)
Maybe you guys need 2-3 helis.
superchan7 December 21st, 2005, 05:33 PM So, first meetup on 23rd, and then heli tour later on? Or are you guys planning to do the heli tour on the 23rd too?
InitialD18 December 22nd, 2005, 03:36 AM hey vincent whats ur number pm me
Rachmaninov December 22nd, 2005, 06:38 AM Heli tour?? I've just noticed this thread
I have no money man
but i might be free for a while on 23rd!
Rachmaninov December 22nd, 2005, 06:40 AM I'll keep on checking this thread as frequently as I can
Days that I won't be free will be... damn, the only day that i'll be free for a while was 28th, or 23rd after 6pm
vincent December 22nd, 2005, 06:44 AM looks like the plan for heli tour is broken, only HKT, aboveday, and myself got time to go on 26th. And again, i prefer sunset time to take pics as i explained above. I do have the equipment to do such shots in a moving helicopter.
As for the regular meetup, i think we still should meet on the 23rd at 6:30pm at tst clock tower.
vincent December 22nd, 2005, 06:46 AM my cell is 92433436
hkskyline December 22nd, 2005, 06:53 AM By the way, the helicopter company is not going to offer tourist trips beginning in January. So go before they stop doing these tours for good!
Rachmaninov December 22nd, 2005, 11:35 AM ^Holy crap.
Aboveday December 22nd, 2005, 02:25 PM confirmed???????????
who will come tomorrow?? :sly:
superchan7 December 22nd, 2005, 04:07 PM I'm free on the 26th. No heli tour? =(
We could at least meet up for some other activities then, I guess.
i_lay.C December 22nd, 2005, 04:19 PM 11/12 - 14/1
then back to Perth
vincent December 22nd, 2005, 07:47 PM we will still meet on 23rd, 6:30pm at tst clock tower. I think we will eat dinner together. I know steve, keith, willie, and myself will go.
vincent December 22nd, 2005, 07:48 PM By the way, the helicopter company is not going to offer tourist trips beginning in January. So go before they stop doing these tours for good!
which one? heliservices or heli hong kong?
vvill December 22nd, 2005, 09:11 PM we will still meet on 23rd, 6:30pm at tst clock tower. I think we will eat dinner together. I know steve, keith, willie, and myself will go.
i'll try to come. mmm... but i think i'll be quite late though (9-ish to 10). :-)
hope you guys will still be around. haven't seen you for ages man vincent.
vincent December 23rd, 2005, 03:54 AM okay, just call my cell in 9ish
Rachmaninov December 23rd, 2005, 06:10 AM as far as I'm concerned, george will turn up too
what about HKT?
HKT December 23rd, 2005, 07:48 AM I'm coming. Since our office will be renovating during Christmas, everyone has to leave early.
hkskyline December 23rd, 2005, 11:00 PM I'm coming. Since our office will be renovating during Christmas, everyone has to leave early.
Hahahahahahahaha ... what an excuse to leave on time!
superchan7 December 25th, 2005, 03:18 PM Anybody meeting up tomorrow?
Aboveday December 25th, 2005, 06:07 PM tomorrow?where & when? thanks.
vincent December 25th, 2005, 09:44 PM Anybody meeting up tomorrow?
if u are talking about the heli tour, no, we decided not to go for the heli tour in the 23rd meeting.
superchan7 December 26th, 2005, 02:37 AM Ok, so nobody's meeting up today for anything?
Manila-X December 27th, 2005, 04:46 AM Belated Merry Christmas to everyone! I'm still in Manila. Just got back from Baguio City! Still trying to get a flight back to HK!
superchan7 December 28th, 2005, 10:12 AM I'm leaving on Friday morning, so anybody want to meet up tomorrow (Thursday) for lunch and some photos?
HKT December 29th, 2005, 07:41 AM I'm not sure, but it seems like everyone is leaving this week.
Manila-X December 29th, 2005, 07:43 AM It's crazy but I'm back in HK but I'll be leaving the city again! I'll be going to Taipei for a week!

Kaitak747 July 16th, 2006, 09:10 AM Actually, the 8-person chat room was too chaotic to discuss things last night, not to mention coming up with consensus, but it's still very funny.

Kaitak747 July 16th, 2006, 09:39 AM yep

Rachmaninov July 16th, 2006, 03:17 PM ^^ Too bad... maybe next time. I'm sure there will be lots of opportunities to meet up again since it's summer! (Although I have to work :P)
So next week (24th - 28th July) seems to be a good time. Any objections?
Deathscar, you can PM me your MSN if you like. ;)

spicytimothy July 20th, 2006, 05:22 PM awww... i won't be back until Sept :-( boo :-(
Rachmaninov July 21st, 2006, 07:05 AM Hey Tim maybe next time then!
Right.
So I have consulted some of the forumers and what I am suggesting, is as follows:
Cantonese meeting - Monday 24/7 at Tsim Sha Tsui (at around 7pm)
English meeting - Wednesday 26/7 at Tsim Sha Tsui (at around 7pm)
I hear that some of us won't be comfortable speaking in English all the time (to let forumers that do not understand Cantonese know what is going on), and obviously those who can't understand Cantonese will not be comfortable knowing nothing about what's going on. Please be reminded that this has nothing to do with discrimination or whatsoever!!!!! English-speaking forumers don't worry - I myself will try my best to attend both, if no changes are suggested to the above time and venues. :) And I know that a few of us are happy with speaking in English.
So guys, any other suggestions? Please kindly post here which meeting(s) you are planning to attend. It would also be nice if you don't mind messaging me your mobile numbers. ;)
_00_deathscar July 21st, 2006, 07:21 AM I'll be at the English meeting :)
HKT July 21st, 2006, 03:03 PM I'm happy to join the Cantonese section but I need to go to the airport that night...
F20B July 21st, 2006, 03:33 PM awww i really wanna join too but I am in NZ, wont be in HK till NOV.
sad guyz ditched me!
trueapprentice July 21st, 2006, 06:07 PM awww i really wanna join too but I am in NZ, wont be in HK till NOV.
sad guyz ditched me!
same here ...
Rachmaninov July 21st, 2006, 06:08 PM In that case... what about:
Cantonese meeting - Tuesday 25/7 at Tsim Sha Tsui (at around 7pm)
English meeting - Wednesday 26/7 at Tsim Sha Tsui (at around 7pm)
...Since HKT and vvill aren't free on Monday?
ailiton July 21st, 2006, 06:15 PM I'm attending the cantonese meeting.
vincent July 22nd, 2006, 04:07 AM my soul will be in HK meeting u guys. hehe
InitialD18 July 23rd, 2006, 03:08 PM I could most probably come to both or one of the two.
need exact location
see you guys there
Stephen
Aboveday July 24th, 2006, 04:03 PM I will check this thread again tomorrow morning. :)
Rachmaninov July 24th, 2006, 05:55 PM Guys!
We will meet at the clock tower tomorrow at 1900. My phone just ran out of credit (that's why our call suddenly terminated, kaitak747!! Sorry!!!!!) but don't worry I will get a new number tomorrow (HOPEFULLY!). Even if I can't, I shall be able to phone you guys since I have SOME of your numbers.
initialD18, me, ailiton, waikhplkcc and kaitak747 will be there for sure. aboveday and HKT and vvill is very likely to turn up too, so come join us!! :)
Duopolis July 24th, 2006, 08:21 PM Wish i could meet you guys, I LOVE HK and asian people! :D Anyway have fun! ;)
HongKongDisneyland July 24th, 2006, 08:41 PM dating service?
Rachmaninov July 25th, 2006, 02:02 AM ^^ hahahha sort of! Wanna date us too? :P
Ailiton, initialD18, vvill, waikhplkcc, kaitak747 and I will be there for sure. Feel free to join us at 7pm in TST at clock tower!! :)
Aboveday July 25th, 2006, 02:04 PM I cant attend both meeting this week,see u guys next time . :cheer:
Rachmaninov July 25th, 2006, 05:54 PM It's great that many of you guys came tonight!!
But then, that means I'm expecting far less people tomorrow in the English meeting at 1900 (7pm) at Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower. Deathscar and I will be there for sure, but we don't know about others... hopefully it won't just be us two dating... :P
Please post if you are interested to join!!
vvill July 25th, 2006, 07:48 PM thx keith for organizing again! :)
Kaitak747 July 25th, 2006, 08:26 PM Thanks Keigh (Rachmaninov) for organizing the gathering too, it was really nice to meet you guys up last night, it's fun indeed (^o^)
superchan7 July 25th, 2006, 09:50 PM Aaaaa...jealous.
Rachmaninov July 26th, 2006, 09:53 AM IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Due to the low expected attendance of the English meeting (everybody sort of bailed out in the last minute :P ) I think there will be no meeting tonight.
WANCH and DasAutoKerl, I could not contact you but since I SUSPECT that both of you might have been interested in this meeting, I am here to say sorry!!
Cunning Linguist July 26th, 2006, 01:25 PM Unfortunate.
How did the cantonese meet go?
_00_deathscar July 26th, 2006, 04:28 PM Sorry folks something rather urgent turned up.
Perhaps another time?
Rachmaninov July 26th, 2006, 05:46 PM ^^ The Cantonese meeting was marvellous! :) Thanks to everybody who supported the event!!
Hey deathscar, yeah maybe some other time when more of us are free, hopefully!
jason poon July 27th, 2006, 04:56 PM Is there any new proposal?
I am interesting.
Sexas July 27th, 2006, 08:53 PM can we just do video con. since most of the Hong Kong forumers aren't live in Hong Kong... (or we can meet in Texas, nice and big here...hehe)

trueapprentice December 2nd, 2006, 01:31 AM don't know yet
vincent December 9th, 2006, 02:52 PM so we now have
?=haven't reply yet, or not sure
forumer that lives in hk:
HKT?, Aboveday, InitialD18(steve)?, hkskyline, Kaitak747, hongkongdisneyland
forumer going back to hk:
myself (12/18-1/10), Rachmaninov(keith)(12/13-1/4), superchan7 (12/18-12/30), trueapprentice (Sam)(12/16-?)
HSBC: available before 12/12
WANCH: available before 12/18 or after 1/6
So i guess the plan is you guys can meet up once before 12/18 with WANCH first? and then superchan7 and myself can join in after 12/18 and before 12/30.
I was thinking if we should go to one of the restaurants in One Peking Road(and face the harbour). I wanted to get there last year, but didn't have time. We can also do some hiking, skyscraper tour, watching light show, or simply taking pics of hk girls around...hehe, just kidding.
Sounds like it will be a big turnout this year...the biggest turnout of HKer nerd from overseas that is...you know i am joking.
so looks like the most preferable date for the meet up can be between 12/19 and 12/30, we can meet more than one time. There could be one for 12/17 to accommandate WANCH, and trueapprentice is back at 12/16.
If anymore forumer want to join us, please at least post your preferable dates here.
Aboveday December 9th, 2006, 07:44 PM We can simply taking pics of hk girls around...hehe, just kidding.

Hey Vincent, i'm in HK on 16/12 . Um ... I'm not a nerd bor, that's only you rich forumers .... I saw that there's a harbour cruise with dinner onboard on discoverhongkong.com

The harbour can get quite wavy. The food will wound up on your shirt and pants. You better bring another set to change.
_00_deathscar December 10th, 2006, 12:18 PM Hahah Sam saying he's not a nerd.
Next Keith will be saying he doesn't like classical music :D
