HK: a summary

I know I said there will be travel posts but I'm just too good at finding excuses to delay.. Anyway.. I shall not let myself go that easily.. Although I really have not gotten all the photos for my trip but I do have enough to give a summary...



  


One of the reasons why I went to Hong Kong.. to meet my friends from SWFC~~ From left: PanPan, ChingChing and Oolongtea... I had my first meal in HK with them, really appreciate their patience waiting for us as our flight was delayed...







This is the room I slept in... Typical HK size but it's comfortable... and it is just footsteps away from the MTR station..









At Stanley, one of my favourite place in HK..








And I finally got the chance to meet Louis Koo!! the wax figure~~







The place of childhood dreams~~








Macao, it was my first time being there and it's really beautiful~~








That's my friend, Valer on the right... the photo we took together is currently not with me yet~~ My first dinner in Macao was her treat and she celebrated my birthday with me...









This the place where she is working, Wynn hotel.. The hotels is Macau are super grand!!






The aftermath of non-stop walking for 6 days~~ but everything was worth it!!!




Thank you~

Nostalgic moments

I always have this kinda moment where I call it the nostalgic moments where the things that i see happens to trigger memories of the previous times of my life...
Watching this TVC, and no.. I am not really much of a football fan, although i do know some of the highlights thanks to my brother... this TVC brings back old memories of my beloved video tape recorder.. Seeing the uncle traveling from one kampung to another trying to find a part for his video tape recorder really jolts me, reminding me how much i miss my faithful old video tape recorder... If only i can find this uncle, and hopefully he does know about tape recorders and try to fix mine.. I hope~~

Anticipation..

I can't believe this is actually happening, all the excitement and anticipation throughout the months are now paying off as I am soon going to board the plane and head to Macau and take the ferry to Hong Kong...

I have been planning this trip ever since I booked the tickets which was last May, looking out for hotels, travel routes, places of interest, the local attractions and about everything available in Hong Kong and Macau...

After 10 months of looking forward to, the day has finally arrived. I am now in mixed feelings where one part of me is really excited and wanting to take off this instant; but another part of me is kinda sorrow that after this, all the excitement is going to end...

Oh well, as least I still have another trip to look forward to... but this is not relevant... So anyway, Hong Kong has always been mu favourite country ever... Since I was a kid, I was exposed to TVB dramas and I totally fell in love with them.. WHich inspired me to be a scriptwriter (which I am still not one... yet) and grew my love towards the small congested place..

Despite the size and the hectic living, I really don't know what is the main factor that makes me love this place so much.. I even thought of moving or at least stay there not for traveling reasons but to experience the life as a citizen there...

Alright.. Now, I am done expressing my love towards Hong Kong, so I guess I shall now go to bed as I will be missing it for 6 nights and prepare for my flight tomorrow~~

SIgning off..

Korean Carnival

Well, I think my Japanese Cultural event post is still hidden somewhere in my drafts after... let me see.. 4 years, i guess.. anyway, here's the recent Korean carnival I've helped out..

First things first, I'm sorry, there's no photos of korean guys or girls captured during that day.. nor were there any human in my photos.. I conveniently forgot to bring my camera and all I have was my loyal 2mp camera phone.. so there's just so much to share then..

I was there at 8am to help out.. as a helper to the event organiser.. my duty is to help out whenever help is needed.. and my main duty is to guard the souvenir booth..








 



Here are the close-ups



These are.. I forgot what is it called in Korean.. It's for blessing.. something like a good luck charm in Korea.



 I Love Korean souvenir cards.. cute huh??



These are bookmarks.. really nice.. One of the top-selling products of the day...



The top are postcards... the bottom are coasters with traditional korean female characters..

 

 hanging deco stuff and mini bookmarks.. the mini bookmarks are also the one of the best selling items..



Pencil case... colourful!!




Fans~~

 

 Korean characters' stickers...


 

 Pouches...

 

And more pouches.. I really like this one.. It looks like the shape of Doraemon's pocket..


 


 Those are the front side of the booth... Here's the "backstage" of the booth.. It's not too messy, I guess..

That's all for photos... The carnival went on from 10am to 6pm and I stayed throughout the whole event.. and even participated in the lucky draw... knowing my luck, I went back empty handed... except for kimbaps and kimchi..

alrightey..

The 3rd month of the 3rd cycle of my life

Since I have started this blog, there'll be a post on the 1st of March for almost every year... So I guess I should make it a trend now.. The 1st day of March marks the coming of my birthday, which I will be celebrating in another country..

So that marks the 3rd cycle of my life, according to the Chinese zodiac.. So much yet to be achieved and here I am, stuck in my comfort zone, too scared to walk out and face the harsh, coarse reality.. In the 3rd cycle of my life, should I seek for a change and step out from what i have been fitting in comfortably for the past 2 years?? I might give it a try.. but that will happen after my study trip.. I sure hope I won't start doubting my decision by then..

I have regretted a lot about thousands of decisions that I have made but never took action to fulfill it.. Leaving it to rot until it disappears and what's left are predictions and "what if"s... So for now, I think I will have to stay strong to my decisions and really try to make it work... Since I am not that young anymore.. there are things that I might not have the courage or passion to do when I strike the older age...

For now, my goals are to travel alone and study abroad... I have been thinking about the work and travel programme, but I am not that keen to go to USA or New Zealand.. I am more interested in Asian countries, China, Japan or Korea.. are there any work and travel programme for these countries??

I'll be off to the panda neighbourhood next week... So stay tune for some picture-heavy blog posts...

The(D) Urge

As I was planning something for the past few days... a very big plan that I think is not safe to be revealed here as I don't know who my readers（if any) are... My top secret plans are to be kept a secret until it unfolds itself... *smirks

Ok, that's not the point of me writing this down.. What I want to say is, when an idea is formed, a decision is made whether to fulfill it or not then, after the decision is made the action is taken and the outcome surfaces.. What did I miss in between??? URGE!!! that's not some sound effect... it's U-R-G-E... the push factor in you to make the decision, take action and accept the outcome... and this urge thing is the most important thing within the whole process.. as it only appears whenever it wants to and when it's gone.. it's GONE... that's when you start doubting your decision.. you idea and the worst case scenario appears...

It is a little vague.... ok, if you understand then just stay there.. I would like to share this example... a guy decides that his gf is the ONE for him.. so he has made up his mind to marry her and he began to plan his proposal..

idea(more like trigger, factor, or whatever you call it.. the initiation??): gf is the ONE

decision: marry her!!

action: propose!!!!!!!

So when he decides that he is going to propose the urge has came in the time he prepares for his proposal.. and everything went on perfectly until the day he wanted to propose.. the very day.. urge decided to go back home and sleep coz it has been waiting too long for the action to be taken and it's bored... (Ok, i don't know if urge is a boy thing or a girl thing, i think it's both that is why i address it as IT)
AND THEN... jeng jeng jeng.... (don't know why did I use JENG.. i hated it~~ due to some people who use it quite frequently.. and it annoys.. irritates me...) when urge disappears.. he starts thinking... it's not that he didn't think in the first place but urge was stronger than the rational mind, it's the strongest of all and nothing can beat it.. so now thoughts has came.. "what if"s start to appear... what if she rejects, what if she's not ready, what if I regret, what if we really got married and I can handle the marriage, what if it is not time yet, what if... what if...... and then... the effort is gone.. plan cancelled.. poooof! there goes a high-chance-to-be a perfect happy outcome where the girl says yes and they get married and live happily ever after...

So, you see... here's my point.. I have gotten the sudden-appearing urge to do something.. then I decided that it will be carried out after my Korea trip.. and now, i think urge is bored of waiting and decides to take off.. so now i'm having doubts about my decision. the "what if"s...

sigh.. so i'm practically dealing with a gazillion what if-s in my mind now... where's my urge?? this is like a computer game where you reach the boss level and you keep game over-ing and start over coz you can't get the ultimate super power(the urge) to finish the boss(the what if)...

Ok, I'm done... off to sleep now.. Japan in now leading 4-0.. I think Malaysia has no hope to win this.. Eh, Japan made it top 16 in the World Cup, Malaysia couldn't even get in top 16 Asia(did it???)... but anyway... still cheering for malaysia.. hopefully they could scare a goal or tw... ei... Finish already??!!!
