6.30am, my alarm rang. It is the day that I have been anticipating since July. I will be visiting my Hong Kong Buddy today! I brushed my teeth and left the home. The day before, I've spent the whole day to pack my things. I also spent the time to buy gifts for my buddy. During the journey to the airport, many things came into my mind. For example, how must I face towards the family and the way people may see me as. Soon I waved goodbye to my family and boarded the plane. It is a good plane, unlike the one which I took to China, I spent most of the time in the plane watching movie and listening to songs. When I arrived in Hong Kong, I saw my buddy's family members waving at me. I felt as though I was a guest of honour. I took a long bus ride to my buddy's home and it was a very beautiful house. His parents served me with delicious vegetarian dumplings which i ate till I am very full. Then I unpacked my things and got ready for tomorrow.

Today is the day, our Singapore buddies came back to visit Hong Kong.i waited in the airport for Ming Kwang‘s arrival.I got out of my home at 11:50am.And arrived at the airport at 1pm for the meeting of our teachers and parents.After the meeting we waited outside the gate from 1:45.We thought that our buddies will arrive at 2:15.But we waited for 2 hours and no one from Singapore came out.Finally, we saw some teenagers came out from the corner of the wall.Everyone cheered , half for the meeting of friends, but half for the end of waiting.First day in Hong Kong.My buddy didn't have any uncomfortable thing.He greeted with my parents and went home by bus.Every things going on just like the other days.

Today, we reached the airport at around 4pm. I was very happy to see my buddy. I will be going to my buddy's school tomorrow. I feel very excited and also nervous because it's the first time i'm meeting my buddy's classmate. I hope I can get along well with my buddy's classmate. I'm looking forward to the activities that are coming up. It's not so cold here and her house is very near to the sea. I'm still not very used to their lifestyle but I think I can get use to it after staying a few days. I hope I will have a very pleasant trip here in Hong Kong.

I think that today is a excellent DAY! Although we have to wait for two hours to wait for ours singaporean buddies,I feel very disappointed about that. However, the thing that make me feel excellent is the while we are waiting for our buddies, the famous Taiwanese singer Vanness is going out from the arrival hall . I only can say that it's very cool! It's an unforgettable experience .I feel very happy to meet my buddy again .I hope that we can have a happy time together because it is the last part of the Hong Kong-Singapore Exchange Programme . I will cherish the time that we spend together.
