Back from Hong Kong, not whatever you think it is.. (haha) It was a long week for me, exploring this foreign city that I have grown to love. Its weather, its people, its parks, its monkeys too! The place I liked the most is Wetland Park. It is close to nature and far from the city. Beautiful trees and colourful flowers surround you, the birds chirping and the wind makes you feel so much more alive.
Another thing I love about HK is its public transportation. Buses, taxis, MRT, trams.. each so efficient and complements each other so well. Saves you a lot of time and money. You can get to your destination on time. :) The weather there is a mystery. One day it's sunny but it's chilly cold the next. Always bring an extra jacket or shawl to keep you warm. When the time comes, they will come in handy. There are two attractions which I particularly enjoyed: Ocean Park and Disneyland. If you want to see Disney characters come to life, then Disneyland is the place for you.
If you have a thing for amusement and animals, Ocean Park will definitely win your heart.
By the way the year 2012 is coming to an end. I want to take this chance to wish all a happy 2013! And know that you are awesome just the way you are. :D
I'd never watch a movie in 3D but now I am glad I watched this one It made everything so magical and much more realistic No I am not gonna spill any beans on the plot of this movie that I wanna watch over and over again (Yes in 3D!) okay that pretty says how good the movie is but still it is only my personal opinion The one thing that really made me happy to watch it is that the story really gets you thinking about things and matters that you never thought before about yourself and everything around you Here's a little sneak peek. Enjoy!
What pops into your head when you think about friends? Faces? Lame jokes? Me? The first thing that comes to mind is the my school days. From what I can recall, I changed schools quite often during my childhood. I was really quiet and never mingled with others. (I was too shy and back then we didn't have Facebook - ha ha) There was this one time when I changed schools, I could still remember I cried so hard, the whole time wishing that I did not have to leave my new schoolmates who I had yet to know more about.
Every time is about the same, new environment.. new faces.. same old me..
Fast forward to years later, I made lots and lots of amazing friends and my first best friend Esther. We did a lot of fun things together. We cycle together, swim together, sing together, laugh together.. We always sat next to each other in class and talked non stop about anything and everything. The good thing is after we graduated, we still keep in touch and hang out. Other than school friends, I have friends who I got to know from my religion circle, youth programs and those rare encounters with strangers you meet who become your close friends in just a blink of an eye. That would be my dear friend Rehanna. I was sitting on the floor, flipping through a Michael Jackson book in Borders. She saw me and she just started a conversation with me just like that. Since we are fans of Michael Jackson, we looked at all the pictures of MJ together, laughing at the round frizzly hair he had. We became friends instantly. To me, friends are forever and they are the ones who we will always have in times of happiness and sadness. They are the one treasure and a blessing to me.
As William Shakespeare says, "A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
At first glance, you were a stranger Then suddenly my heart started pounding really hard like something was gonna burst out of my chest
There was once you said, "As long as you are here" I never knew my presence was important to you Every time you appeared I would always turn the other way just in case you see my face turn red and hear my heart pounding out loud I just wanted to be near you, around you and look deep into those clear brown eyes That day I said, "You are my everything" Although it was by accident, I meant it You are a gift to me Your eyes were glowing with love shining like the sun but they were for someone else That was really hard for me to see Even as time went by, my heart still pounds whenever you are around I just do not know what to do with this anymore In my dream I walked far away from you Not wanting to feel my heart aching as your eyes looked at hers smiling like a little boy
