After So Long

It's been a long time since I last blog. Almost forgot about blogging. I've not been blogging for the last 3 mths (I guess so). I've altogether 4 blogs, yet no updates for 3 whole mths.

Somehow, after so long, I dunno wat exactly I wanna write here. Many things have happened over the last 3 mths. Changes in my work attitude and believe, changes in family values, generally a change in life perspective.

Forget about those unhappy events, mayb jus concentrate of my recent trip.

I just came back for HK abt a mth ago. Hmmmm, HK is nothing new to me. This was my 3rd trip there and I was only there during summer sales. Thus, I dun get to experience much difference. However, the greatest change in HK, I wld say, it's the increase in the population of mainland Chinese.

There are really alot alot of them. They are like everywhere and there is no problem in identifying them from the local HKer. Few very obvious traits.

1) They talk loudly and so their accent is obvious.
2) They are extremely kia su (Singaporean still a long way to go)
3) They are rude (The way they speak n act)
4) Their dressing (Obviously different from the local).

Mayb becos I am still very tourist there, thus the places I visited comprises of mostly tourists. These Mainlanders are tourists themselves, and their attitude are extremely scary.

They push and snatch and nv queue n talk loudly. All these, makes me have an extremely bad experience at Disney HK. We have chose a lousy day to be there. Weather was extremely hot and worst was there are too many patrons tat day. It's easy to tell cos Disney HK actually extends its operation due to the crowd.

Everywhere are pple. And those mainland Chinese truly show their "power" in Kiasuiam. I gave up. Can you believe that I was not on a single ride in Disney HK. All we did was to queue up for their shows (2 live musical and 1 interactive show). We din hv much time actually, each musical was 30 mins but the queue was unbelievable. The first show we queue for abt half an hour. The 2nd show took us abt 1 and a half hour and the 3rd show mayb another 45 mins. Including those show time, we spent more than 3 hours. Plus Lunch, dinner, the road show, photo taking and a silly monorail ride, I think more than 6 hours gone. Then we got to get ready for the fire works. After the fireworks, there is the snatching at the Disney shops. Those shops are packed with pple. The whole day was a chaos, not to mentioned that there was a heavy down pour in the afternoon causing more time wasted.

Anyway, if you plan to visit Disney HK, pls check the Chinese calender to ensure that it's neither the HK nor the Mainland school or public holidays. We were there during the HK and Mainland school holidays.

I guess I met most Mainlanders at Disney HK. Out of it, there are still alot but bearable. Nonetheless, shopping at HK was still fun especially for a shopperholic like me.

We were shopping till mid nite almost every day. My legs ache like hell and my slippers gave me problems. I missed my Osim Isqueeze thru out my trip. Tis trip was pretty tiring. But we can only blame ourselves cos we wanted to visit so many places n do so many tings within such a short period. It's really tedious.

I was tinking whether to go back again to have a more relaxing trip. But I guess I gotta give it a miss. I've overspent, terribly overspent. Cos tis trip, I've got to cover my mum expenses, and that's alot.

Haiz, nvm lah, money is meant to be spent. 财去人安乐。:P
