another dramatic day

That day, i woke up feeling hopeful...why? because according to the weather forecast, a typhoon would hit HK soon and the wind was already strong...i was hopeful that we could get a day off (FYI, if Typhoon hits #8, we don't have to go to work...if you are at work, we can go home early...and it's paid..now you know why i felt hopeful) As usual, i got up, got ready and went to work....it was windy and many ppl brought their umbrella, put on their rainy boots and also feeling hopeful like me...when i reached the MTR station, gosh, it seems like there were more ppl than usual and i saw an MTR staff putting a "emergency" sign on..i stopped briefly to look and it said, train would delay to arrive every 4 mins instead of just 2 mins"...no big deal for me..so i rushed and got in the train...was in the train for 10mins when i heard this announcement....apparently a train broke down in a critical station and all of us had to alight in the middle...so i thought, what the heck...it was just 3 stations from my stop, i would just hop on a bus when i arrived...how wrong was i??? well...wrong decision because of..... i guess many people thought like me....and got off at that station...the station was sooo crowded because it was packed with passengers, fire fighters and reporters...MTR ppl was thoughtful, they actually arranged free shuttle buses to take ppl to different location...and they didnt even charge us for the train ride ^^ yeah, i'm easily satisfied....anyway...it was really really crowded even outside..but i did enjoy the attention from passerby, polices and reporters...hahhahaha...another drama in HK even before i left....i had so many drama's in hk that i really need to create a special category for it!! let me reminisce here.... First, there was almost a fight in the train because a guy accidentally knock on a kid's head and he was crying his head off....then his parents were so furious and wanted to pick a fight... Second, someone's wallet was stolen in the tram and he was yelling and shouting and said nobody could get out unless he found the culprit...it was crowded and hot in the tram and we had to wait for police to come and search...so we were stuck for 1 hr or so.... third, when i was happily shopping in the mall...and saw many people running towards my direction...then i saw ppl looking up and i thought there was some flying show going on...so i looked up..then i saw someone jumping off...spectacular..but instead of flying, he landed on the floor just in front of me!! suicide!! forth, when i was happily shopping with my sis and her friends...we went home only to find many fire trucks lining outside her apartment lot...and found out that it was my sister's floor...she panic coz was worried that while we went out, her friend might have forgotten to turn the gas off...what if it was her apartment? all of our stuff would be BURNT!! GONE!! BYE BYE!!! not sure if i wrote a post on that...anway...just found out someone burnt incense and threw them in the rubbish bin and it caught fire...but we did meet some cute fire fighters...hahaha.. then there were twice when i was taken by the ambulance to hospitalise and was there for 2 - 3 days....you can imagine how interesting my life is in HK!! anyway, back to my story....it was really crowded coz everyone was fighting for the free shuttle bus...it was hot so i figured, the station is not that far from my work place, i might as well just cross the road and catch a paid bus instead...i guess, my thinking process is so common that everyone was doing the same thing...all the buses were FULL...and i only got to office at 10am...i guess i was considered lucky...just 1 hour more la... i kinda enjoyed the whole process despite of the trouble...sound weird? well, when i was Q'ing, i peeked at the lady in front of me..she logged on to fb and started writing nasty status update...she wrote:"MTR had shit arrangement and everyone fighting for buses. damn"....then she wrote another nasty one but i didnt peek anymore...then in the bus, i heard many ppl calling their spouses/friends and complained how congested the traffic was and how unlucky they were and that it was bad that they were still not in office yet...all that time, i was verifying what they said...mtr? shit arrangement? i thought it was good...it was unexpected and they managed to get so many buses in..and the buses were q'ing to take ppl...traffic congested? it was quite good to me coz it looked like there was no difference than before....not in office yet? i bet the person was happy to be outside at this time!!! don't you think, if you adjust your thoughts for a while, everything would be much beautiful? i added in drama in HK so that it would be easier for my dearest friends to recall what i had been through in hk :)

A long journey but yet wonderful

I took the 9pm flight on 10.10.10....and normally, ppl would want to reach airport at least 1.5 hours before their departure time...especially when it is international flight...well, that day, i was supposed to go to airport at 630pm by bus but we only left the cafe at 6pm and we decided to drop by the famous bun shop near my hotel coz they were all worried that i would be starving by them....and i went...for some reason, there was a very lOOooong Q at the shop and we thought it would be fast, but we waited and waited and waited...for abt 20 mins and by the time i got to the station, it was almost 7pm...my bus didnt come...we were all worried but decided to let fate decide my destiny...worse come to worst, i would just stay there for another night (which i was glad to do so) and leave early next morning...i waited and waited and waited...finally, my bus came...i was a bit relieved coz i would be at the airport at around 8pm if everything went well...when the bus left, and i started seeing traffic jam...it was then when i realised that it was national day that day...oh dear....the bus was crawling....i was a bit worried but still decided to keep myself calm...after abt 5 mins, the coast was clear...and i was relieved....after another 5 mins of bus ride....there was another jam at the highway...OH GOSH...and i could see that it was a LOOoong jam...i closed my eyes and just hoped for the best...that was then i heard the bus driver yelled out loud and asked us to look at our left hand side...WOW, IT WAS THE FIREWORKS!!! it was really really pretty...so pretty that i forgot i was in a hurry and almost missed my flight...luckily, it was just a 10 mins jam and i finally the airport at 805pm :) i learned that, if you keep your mind and heart at peace and think positively, you will be able to enjoy whatever that comes your way...and what's better is, sometimes you get bonus...like me ^^

心境的力量

我終於體會到，內心的快樂原來真的可以讓你享受無比的快樂。好自在，好輕鬆。無論我看見什麼，碰到什麼，我都依然如此快樂。即使有不開心的，也能很快的得到安慰。剛才和一個很久沒見的朋友通電，他有點失落，有點心事。他說，聽到我的聲音，聽到我的關懷，讓他殺那間感到無比的輕鬆。人，不就是因為放不下自己而起煩惱嗎？我承認，我也會不快樂，仔細想一下，值得嗎？只要能轉變心態，什麼都變得美好。如果不美好，至少不是那麼差。我剛才在fb看了一些朋友的近況，老實說，即使我不在身旁，我也能感到他們的喜悅。希望大家都能看到好的一面，想辦法保持正面的話，就會發現其實世界還蠻美麗的。其實，我現在有一些不如意的事情發生在身，我也還在學習。加油。
