I was busying with packing my belongings back in Oct to get ready for my move to shanghai...during the packing time, i realized i had many many things...some i need, some i dono i had, some i don't need...then it crossed my mind as to why one person needs so many things in his/her life...is it because we have more wants as we get older? or we don't what we want so we just buy buy buy.... here are so photos during the course of my packing....and at the end, my place was sparkling clean with nothing inside!!

Final morning in HK

I was taking the afternoon flight on Nov 15, 2010 to Shanghai from HK....departing HK permanently...i have to admit...even after all the ups and downs in HK (and i did put them in the blog here to share with u guys), i kinda feel sad to leave HK....i didnt learn to speak perfect cantonese, i didnt find a HK guy to marry, i didnt have anything attached there but i do have feelings for it....this is human nature...if u are there, you will never cherish it..when u are leaving, you think u miss everything...hahaha...anyway, the morning, i did many things... I woke up early that morning and tidied up my belongings....then i went downstairs (yes, that is how convenient it is in HK) to have breakfast at my favourite restaurant (@ taihing...太興燒味) for a quick breakfast...my purpose is to have the milk tea la...but i had a huge breakfast at 10am...imagine, one lai cha, one noodle, one toast with scrambled egg...i had to say, i was super full and super satisfied and the breakfast cost me HKD24!! value for money.... I went to airport at 12noon and by the time i arrived..it was noon time...i was really really full but didnt wanna miss out the chance to have my favourite food before i left...so i had the roasted goose at the airport......so full man....then i went to the lounge and had a small bowl of wonton soup!!! gosh, i started to feel bloated....suddenly remind me of my days when i returned to KCH for vacation for the first few times after leaving KCH....always felt like i need to fully take advantage of my time in KCH and thus, had 4 breakfast in the morning and 2 lunches and 2 dinners in a day!! now, i was doing this in HK as well....
After eat eat eat...it's time to depart HK~~ :'( on the good side...this experience makes me realize there is something good abt HK...i still remember how much i hated HK before...hahaha...oh well...human nature like i said before.... alakavista, babe, I WILL BE BACK~~~

next time, when you see me back in HK...i will be one of those mainland Ch*nese....taking a bit trolley out to shop and just buy buy buy (i wish i will have that much money to spend!)

New life in Shanghai

Sorry for not updating this for so long...i can give you many many reasons as to why and beg for forgiveness...but hor, getting access to facebook and blogger here is very very difficult lo...coz of the control the govt put here..so luckily a friend let me use his mini server outside china so that i still have a little bit of access to world outside my own :) still remember how often i checked my facebook last time coz i have the application installed on my iphone...now even got the application also cannot use....sigh...but that's life lo.... it's been really busy for me lately...trying to adapt to new environment, new job, new ppl and looking for a place to live...i remember 5.5 yrs ago, when i went to HK, i was shocked by the space there and got a bit of phobia...then after tat, i got used to it and thought my home in Tsuen Wan was pretty nice...still miss my home though....i was looking at many houses in shanghai last weekend with friends and i realized...oh dear, it was a cage house in HK and here is like soo soo spacious....hehehe... i havent taken any pictures of shanghai yet....havent really had the chance to venture outside yet.....will take the chance after i settle down ;)

my birthday in HK

I had a great birthday this year.....that day was also the day when there was a grand opening for the xmas decoration in hk...this year's theme is cakes and snow couples...well..it was a good timing coz it was our bday and i got to have so many giant cakes from the street!! hahah..anyway, that day, my colleagues helped celebrated my 60th birthday and bought me 寿桃 (birthday peach)...gosh, i was so touched and felt grown up...(FYI, birthday peach is usually used to celebrate 60th birthday)..hahhaa...they were delicious!! coz it was also my final birthday in office, my colleague bought me another mango cake and threw me a surprise in office....they sang me "happy happy happy birthday" in TGIF style...hahah..i didnt take picture coz we were busy lo.... then night time, my friends celebrated another bday for me..and i got a free carrot cake from the restaurant and another birthday song!! and two german guys next to us gave me a birthday wish...hehehe.... It was a year full and cakes and lovely people and one of the birthdays that i will remember forever....coz it's my final 5th bday in HK, celebrated my 60th birthday in advance, had so many cakes, surrounded by people i care about and also the day when i "lost" the most money~~ because i'm leaving HK permanently, i need to clear my tax and obtain a tax clearance form from the tax bureau before HR will release my final salary payment...so on 11/11, i went to tax bureau and they put me in a little room (though not dark) to fill in my tax form...everything became not tax deductible and they also added tax on to me...then in the afternoon, i went to get my tax assessment and paid on the spot..... >_<

傻傻的误会

i am homeless these two n a half weeks and was staying at my friends' place...gosh, i didnt know how popular i am until i am homeless coz ppl are fighting to have me stayed with them *blush* haha...i was only kidding la...it was nice of them to take me in....i am grateful for that..and it was good so that i didnt have to bother my friends for two long so i tried to divide my time in half....i really enjoyed my stay...anyway...that night, when i was staying with DMY, i saw something in the bucket...i looked closely and saw my 内在美 in her bucket full of her own 内在美！！！OMG OMG, i panicked! i thought i put it in there when i was sleep walking...or mayb she mistook that for hers....i was tempted to fish it out from the bucket but i didnt...my mind was still in the unbelievable state that i just couldnt think....actually i just woke up after a whole night of dreams~~ hehehe..anyway, i continued with my morning chores...then something hit me...oh, it should be DMY's coz we bought the same one together at the shop la....and i left out a soft laugh and told DMY the story....DMY left out a LOUD laugh...hahaha.....it just didnt occur to me at that time la..but it was a small misunderstanding but a funny one...it would be funnier if i fished it out and kept it as my own...hahhahahaha....one last gift from DMY before i leave HK...
