I am on a trip for couple of weeks and today my mirror from my DSLR (Sony) decided to fell off. Anyone have any quick fix for it?

Nope, but I can try to get some.
Using blu tack will do it? I need to search what is Blu Tack first though

You might be able to fix the mirror with Blu Tack if your camera has a fixed translucent mirror. Do not do this to the old models with instant-return mirror.
To be safe, just take the mirror out. The camera should works without the mirror if you use live view with manual focus.

On my EOS 5D I used Gaffa tape, to preliminary repair the lost mirror after it fell off.

You are not alone: http://www.igorphotos.com/wedding-photographer-became-unglued/ .
I think you might better find some glue to keep the mirror in place until you come back to Hong Kong.
