Worth of a thousand words

A thousand things that I want to share
with you.

Is it the 2,512.186 km or the 4 hours ?

How come it seems so far?

You and Me

We left our footsteps at Aonang.

Faith would lead us back there.

Happy 1st Anniversary

Hi Hong Kong,

I remembered clearly 01/09/2009. The first time I stepped into Hong Kong. A foreign land. No idea of what awaits me. No expectation of what lies ahead. Not well prepared to embrace the cultural shock and differences. Not knowing that I'd sustain here until now.

I vividly recall when I first step down from the plane. Ok. I was all alone. Lost and unsure. Blur and insecure. I really do not know, where did courage found its way and accompanied me all the way. It is indeed, a BIG step.

I still remember how shocked I was every time I had an encounter with Hongkie. Startled by their straight-forward and none-of-my-business manners, I was always victimised emotionally. Now, I understood. IT is in their culture. Sarcasm is their manners. Realistic is how they view. Highly system- and policy-oriented SAR. The business manifested society. A financial hub.

Hong Kong surprised me in many way, as much as how I surprised myself. And there's never an end to new discoveries and learning to overcome or embrace them. Small but compact. Flexible in many ways but still rigid.

Hong Kong proved to be a good touristy place. Excellent transportation. Informative resources. Accessible in every way. A planned society. Too many things to see and to be delighted with. But, only short term. Nobody would tourist for 4 years in Hong Kong.

One thing I learned, in a multicultural society, we blend in not by adapting and losing our own cultures. But to adapt and enrich the society with my culture. I am not a local, I am a foreigner.

I found the most ideal [quite] way to adjust to you. I just hope that your people would smile more. Coz I won't give up my smile.

Hong Kong, you're part of my life now.

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY...

Hong Kong's period of grief...

Such a tragic end for Hong Kongers at Manila...

A day, nobody could be proud to have it listed in the history...

Who could have thought of a massacre while touristing?

All they wanted was just to travel abroad during the summer holidays.. with their loved ones.. before school reopens...

We watched, horrified with the live telecast... anticipated the outcome of the 10-hour standoff... clock ticked by too slowly for hope...

The worst had sounded... Hong Kong hearts are shattered..

Some are left widowed.. some orphaned.. some lost their dependants...

Just too much to bear..

People are scarred for life..

In a bus ride, hijacked by a lone gunman..

surrounded by 200 SWAT trained personnels...

snipers...

10hours of standoff...

2negotiators...

and, 1 simple request : secure and protect my people...

Philippines, who can stop blaming you?

Hong Kong has been weeping for the lives lost..

Hong Kong is in deep sorrow...

Hong Kong wants justice...

I hope that they find peace...

I'm paid to play?

Hmmm... a lot of people whom I've met, are very surprised and excited with what I am doing.

People begin to ask alot of questions and regretting why they have not heard of such opportunities in their country or when they select courses in university.

I wonder if they really understand what I'm doing?

In the end, all the information that they interpreted were ...

I am being paid to play.

Flying trips

I think so far, I've contributed 10% of carbon emission into our atmosphere.

Being an environmental scientist, this is not something to be proud of. Especially, when students count your carbon emissions. Embaressment. However, I never fly just for the sake of flying. There's always a reason for me to fly.

Flying sounds really fun. But sometimes it is not. Especially when you're sick, rushing, taking the lead, loss baggage, volcano eruption, bad weather, flight cancelled, delayed, and more.... Taking a flight could be more of a hassle than you can ever imagine.

So, flying is not all fun.
Well, getting multiple foreign stamps on your passport is!
Can't wait to fill up and update more pages to my current. ;)

Idiosyncratic mindset

Not knowing Chinese language, makes me a lesser Chinese.

Does excelling in English makes you westernized?

And the world goes round again.

A kitkat, is all that he needs

I gave my kitkat to him. He beamed at the sight of the kitkat I held in my hand. He turned to look at his father for approval, Daddy smiled and nodded. Then he gently accepted the small piece of chocolate, and kept it together with his packed inflight lunch box.

The grateful look is all I got. But it is more than what I needed. I did not even expect anything when I decided to gave him the chocolate. I was already overwhelmed by his happy gestures. Nothing can replace these feeling of satisfaction.

He is indeed a kid so special.

His brother is special in his own way as well. Both are so good-mannered, their presence in the public is easily camouflaged. Though they are taller than their parents, but, they belittled themselves and humbly ask for favours like young kids. Their parents are very down-to-earth malay folks. So friendly, I couldn't help exchanging friendly glances with them.

Their sons meant so much to them, that every single decision is made with caution and care. The endless affections shown by both parents, are so genuine and over-pouring, that even I felt it so close to my heart. Thanks to this harmonious family of four, my week had became a greater one.

All it takes was just a kitkat.
