how do you know you are converted?

time flies and before i knew it, i have already been in HK for exactly 5 years!!! i still remember 5 yrs ago, i told the world that i will see them in kuching 12 months later, for i would come back to kuching for good...but words are just words... ><..... eventhough it was painful in the beginning, human could still adjust their lives...YUP, it was definitely the most painful moment of my lives...more painful than when i didnt understand a word of english in australia and got bullied by "small" bullies....so many things happened and i'm glad i have become a better person~~~

was talking to my good friend about hongkongers...and we both find hongkongers fascinating...what's even more fascinating is....my friend is also a hong konger :) well...how do you know you have been converted to one of them? here are some pointers:

1. keep pressing "close" button when you are in the lift even though there are people trying to get in...just seems that you are constantly rushing for an unknown appointment...in HK, you will notice, the sign of the "close" buttons are always rubbed off!!
2. talking loudly eventhough you are just next to them
3. rather wait at the entrance/exit instead of using your own hands to push/pull the doors open at the mall...for you think the doors are always dirty and might get H1N1 if you do...
4. you always try to run through the closing doors of the train no matter how crowded the train is or that it only takes 2 minutes for the next train to come....time is money...
5. you try to squeeze in the over crowded escalator eventhough there's another less crowded one next to it...for you think taking another 2 - 3 steps will take too much energy and time...
6. get in the line for not knowing what you are queing for....for you know if there's a long Q, it means they must worth something....
7. buy as much as possible eventhough your house is already cluttered...
8. taking staircase one floor up? no way ho say....must wait for lift...it's only 5 - 10 mins of waiting time!!!
9. must be seen in gucci, LV or channel...when you are buying, there's no time to think twice...you like it? you must it NOW!!! otherwise, it will be gone gone gone
10. Having your breakfast, lunch and dinner at restaurants but homes....
11. getting a maid

im glad to say...i'm just 0.5% converted...phew
