This is the first post since I reached home, haven't really had the mood time to sit back and reflect on my life lately. A couple of things happened since I reached home, of family, friends, boyfriends and people in general. It was last week, a full episode of TVB drama screened in front of my eyes. The raging wrath of sisters and the trauma of the old parents from the family feud were overwhelming. It also opened my eyes to the very mundane work of neighborhood police where what they do whole day was listening to stories like who stole whose cows and pretending to be serious while writing the report. As a person who is somewhat involved in this, I myself thought it was super hilarious.

Then I went for holiday with my family. It was nothing more than what I have expected. Maybe it's because I'm a kampong girl like that lol. I really can't imagine myself living in the environment where there are constant human traffic, small roads, polluted air and ugly high-rises. Some people might think the city is bustling with life, but really, I pity the people living in the central area. Again, maybe it's just because I'm a kampong girl who can't stand bustles :P.

Oh, and the stories about travel group organized by travel agencies? They are all true. It's tiring enough to pack everything into 4 days. And these cunning agencies have to 'introduce' us the 'specialties' of the countries. And how they do it with such tight schedule? Wake us up at 630am and if that's not enough, cut down on the visiting spots in the itinerary. That's not even half the story, I still can't get over the photo frame that cost us 230 dollars @#$$%&*. The guy was clearly robbing in daylight, BUT according to Chinese culture, instead of telling him off outright we have to reject very indirectly and if that failed, which was the case, you just have complied feeling reluctantly cheated. Aside from all the tiredness from lack of sleep and dragging our feet and feeling complied to get cheated, you have to bear the surprises and frustrations you get when there's 'miscommunications' between the agencies from home and the country that you are visiting. They can even ignore your overseas calls when they can't give you reasonable clarifications. may all these ppl rot in hell -__-

The highlights of it all were Repulse bay, Victoria's peak and Disneyland. J

I can never explain enough my love for beaches :) (Repulse Bay 9.12.2009)

 

This is taken from Victoria's half peak, because the peak was too misty we can't capture anything. Magnificent night view I gotta say. (9.12.2009)

 

Disneyland the small world. I know everybody says it's nothing great because it's too small, but I really felt like I've gone into fairy tale once. There were a lot of nostalgic moments. (11.12.2009)

 

There were 964 pictures, or was it 994? Lol, thanks to my very diligent sister and me the poser. That's all, all I know is I won't go to Hong Kong for a very very long time.

I think I'll continue my abovementioned reflections in the next post.

Till then!
