The love bug

One of my last year's new year resolutions was realised. Never knew new year resolution will actually lag one year before it gets realised. Life is good when you know someone is there care about you especially when I am alone in a foreign country. I love being with her, hope this kind of good feeling will continue.

农历新年，香港过

今年的农历新年是我出生以来第一次不和家人在家里度过。一个人的新年很自由，但偶尔还是会想想家里的爸爸，妈妈 和弟弟是在干什么。

农历初一，我和一群同样孤身一人在香港过年的朋友到了大屿山和大澳去逛逛。大屿山有着那个世界闻名的巨大佛主神像。花了不少时间才见到了他。先是缆车，然后步行，累死了。不过看到了后，觉得一切都值得了。天啊，也太大了吧！是怎么把它建在山顶上的啊？无意间也发现了梅艳芳的灵位就供奉在大佛下的庙里面。生前没机会见到她，现在在哪里签名也算是对她的一点敬意吧！

在吃了一个超好吃的山水豆花后，我们到了大澳去逛逛。哪里没什么特别，至少对我这个马来西亚人来说。大澳是一个渔村，他保留了香港旧时代的渔村风味。建议一直以来都住在城市的人应该去参观。

初一是以一套Esprit 的新衣新库作为结尾。吃了kfc晚餐后便回学校了。时间是10.30pm左右。

香港过年没有我想象中的热闹。只有在指定的年货市场才会比较热闹和有气氛。除此之外，它就和平日的香港一样。明天晚上即将要去维多利亚港看烟花表演。在香港夜景的衬托下，我相信我会一生难忘。

买东西，吃东西

It has been tiring but fun for the first two days in hong kong. Basically I went out at around 10a.m and came back hostel at around 11p.m. I guess this kind of life will continue at least until the school starts. The weather was pretty cold especially at night when the wind blew. The food here was not as impressive as I thought. Maybe I haven't gone to try those best ones. However, I must admit hong kong is indeed a shopping paradise. So far I only bought one polo shirt for myself and it was only 59 HKD, around SGD10! Although the brand is bossini, it is still cheap enough!

The very last night before I leave

It is a cold and humid night before I leave for Hong Kong in less than 12 hours. It has been raining since evening, and my mood is just the same as the weather tonight. Raining makes me emotional especially on this special night.

I have sped up my packing this evening as I had been procrastinating since 1 month ago. Things get done faster when you have time constraint. I finally finished packing my luggage the night before I leave.


As I will be away this year during Chinese New Year we had our reunion dinner earlier tonight. We ate seafood, quite nice and I saw a lot of families were doing the same as us. The restaurant was pretty noisy with people lau sheng and yam sheng. We took a family photo using my new nikon P7000. This ended up my last night in JB. I am now off to bed (although I am quite sure I couldn't fall asleep) in order to be able to wake up early (4a.m) in the morning tomorrow!



My adventurous trip is about to start!

The second last night before I leave

I am exploring my new camera Nikon P7000 tonight! I have totally engrossed in it that I nearly forgot I will be leaving to Hong Kong soon. When I put my camera aside and do nothing, I started to feel 不舍得to leave home. sigh...Heard that there is one dead case in Hong Kong due to H1N1 today. I am still feel a bit kiasi although I have taken the vaccine. Please bless that my whole SEP is a safe one.

I will sleep early tonight because I know I wont be able to sleep well for tomorrow night. My mind will definitely be full of distractions due to nervousness.

The thrid last night before I leave

I have one last thing yet to be settled before I am ready for Hong Kong.
WHERE IS MY CAMERA??
I should go and shop tomorrow for a decent but cheap camera, haha.
Meeting some friends for the one last time I guess before I leave. But I am still very concerned why nobody has shown their intention to see me off on Sunday? Like why? Where are my friends, so sad. LOL.

nearer, but don't like to be parted from my home, my family

It is really near now, 5 days away. I feel excited for my new adventure. The cold weather, the delicious food and the shopping malls in Hong Kong!

But a bit sad as it is also the time when I have to say goodbye to my family and friends. I can't meet my family for 4 months. Although I had been staying in hall in NUS, but I had never ever failed to meet them for more than 2 weeks. I guess I will definitely miss them especially my parents. Skype may help a bit but it will never be better than face to face meeting. I hope during the period that I will be away, they can take care themselves and stay in good health.

是我太自私吗？

到了这个年龄，烦的不再是功课有没有考到A，或者是有没有买到自己想要的东西；我烦的已经开始是钱的问题了。妈妈的公积金挑起了一些事端。身为哥哥的我先进了大学，花了爸妈一大笔钱在我的学业上。一年半后当我毕业了同时也是我弟弟准备进大学时，我是不是应该尽我所能拿出钱来支助我的弟弟呢，然后尽量不用我妈妈的积蓄？妈妈跟我说他们供我读书，我毕业后自然而然就应该要供弟弟啊！可是毕业后的我难道不会有经济上的问题吗？我不敢保证。

刚毕业，初出社会打滚的我真的能吗？我是应该自私一点先利用我的薪水偿还我自己的教育贷款，还是把它用来帮助我弟弟呢？要让我自己未来有更好的规划我就必须先偿还贷款，可是这样是不是对我的弟弟太不公平了呢？

我是个这么自私的人吗？他毕竟是我弟弟。

This semester is different

Usually at this time for a normal semester, I should be heading back to my hall with all my barang-barang to start the new miserable semester in NUS.

But this time is different.

I have extra few more weeks of holiday before the start of my school. Not in NUS but HKUST! What is waiting for me ahead is not stress but fun and excitement.

I am so looking forward to it, I am excited!

Before stepping in to 2011

After checking back my new year resolutions last year, only the first one has come true. The other two, still pending. Maybe they will take some time or maybe they wont come true at all. This year, before stepping over into 2011, I have only two new year resolutions:

1) I hope my family and friends will be in good health
2) I will have more meaningful experiences in 2011

Thanks. I will come back to check this post when it is 2012 next year.
