Subject: DID YOU SAY HIKING?!?!
Dear fellow CEOs,
A question first: are any of the guys bothering with getting a tux for the Ivy Ball?
2nd: I’m planning on going to Lamma Island to hike. This should be really fun with great scenery and delicious seafood in the little villages there. We take a 40-min ferry ride from Pier 4 in Central, an easy hike for ~2hrs, 6km across Lamma featuring ancient limekilns and Japanese kamikaze grottoes and a restaurant specializing in pigeon dishes. RSVP if you are up for it.
WHEN: this Saturday, 9AM-2PM
WHERE: our wonderfull 11th fl hallway

Ivy Ball is Saturday night at 7pm, so there should be plenty of time to prepare. As for us males, I quote Ms. Hutchison Whampoa: “A suit is fine. Don’t worry about it.”

troweling: using a trowel, digging a hole, pooping, wipe with leaf, then refill the hole. HAHAHAHA

Dear fellow CEOs,
For those of you who elect not to go Saturday, there will be a second hike on Sunday on the Dragon’s Back trail, which is on the SE part of HK Island. We take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan on the blue line, then bus 9 to Shek O Rd. The hike should be ~2hrs, 4.5km. Great views of the south side of the island, swimming at the beaches, and a visit to Shek O village.
WHEN: Sunday, 1:30pm (hangovers should be over by then)
WHERE: our hallway
As for RSVP, how about this time, although I love reading the e-mail thread, we’ll make it regrets only?

Christ, I go offline for forty-five minutes and miss everything. I’m up for hiking on Sunday definitely, Saturday maybe, and happy hour tonight. And I know you said regrets only, David, but I guess I’m just being rebellious.

Is there any way to do Lamma on Sunday since people have to work/get ready for the ball/sleep off friday’s hangovers on Saturday and Lamma looks like a good full day thing. SUNDAY is FUNDAY
