HK... night is always young

The must see skyline night view from HK side.

This is the metal bar/wall by the sea that we have seen a lot in all HK movies and series. I finally got to see it in real as close as next to me now.

Sek Ban Gai (石板街), the street which has been seen in many movies where things got rolled over the whole street when there's a chase going on.

HK Police station man... do I see Jackie Chan doing Police Story 10??

SZ... happening city :)

Went to SZ for 3 nights, to mainly visit the real grandma for father. Seeing father and his mother together is the greatest picture we always hope for.

SZ in brief is still a happening city. My impression 8 years ago towards the city is still about the same :P. More and more buildings and more and more people in the streets. Watch your steps so that you don't step on people's spits.

Skyline GTR R35 spotted in SZ man!!!

Hey man, it's Hong Kong ...

I have been to HKIA many times and don't really get to visit HK.

The very first visit to HK was at 2 years old where I had no idea at all. After that, it was HK transit all the time. The one time (before this time) when I stepped out of HKIA was when I got to shuttle bus to China factory in 2002. Other than that, my HK impression is pretty much about airport (airlines), flight attendants (pretty:)), duty free shops($$$) only.

This time, considered I am visiting HK as a tourist (actually will go to SZ tomorrow for few days). I somehow feel so relax (as I am still in the vacation mood and don't know when I can get back to the working mood).

Let's see what I will write about this...

See you KL, HK here I come...

Going to leave KL soon, sad. My vacation is about to end soon... :(

While transit in HK, I will stay for few days to visit Grandma in SZ (who? grandma?! yes, you will know more in the near future).

Afterward, I will get back to SFO and start my 2009 finally (already March). This year, I think the wish we all look for are nothing more than prosperity and stability.

Prosperity, we need.

Job, we need.

Happy Cow Year.

7Big Annual Dinner, can not miss

The once a year 7Big annual dinner is a major part of the CNY activities that can not be missed.

The best part for this year is that the 7 people all presented, no need to draw empty spot for the missing person in the pic (which includes all the busy bosses, the UK and the US guy)

Also with all the families and good friends...

Thank you for being my friends. See you again next year (hopefully).

华文教育斗士沈慕羽逝世 - very sad

I believe most Chinese in Malaysia know of 华教斗士沈慕羽. The very powerful man who fight for the Chinese education in Malaysia. He passed away 2 days ago, very sad.

My dad also wrote about it at:

Quote from my dad "今天这位华教斗士走了，华社都会惦记着他，而他的精神仍会在华社人心中延续燃亮着".

Mr Shem, RIP. Your effort will never be forgotten.

Chinese New Year is all about ... (Friends version)

During Chinese New Year, getting together with old friends is a must do.

Seeing good old friends and listening to their updates and talking about things are things we should not miss while we can.

Met up with a few friends at Pavilion today and got them a chance to chiak chuak during working days:

Chiak Chuak 吃蛇

Defination:

- Taking advantage from work.

- Curi makan.

- Hokkien Slang mainly used in Malaysia/Singapore.

Prosperity, we need...

As we are going through recession and depression, we need to sit tight to go through this. Prosperity is what we need...

We also need to "Lou Sang" abdlou sampai kao kao...

Roti Canai (Prata)

When you are in Malaysia/Singapore, you must eat Roti Canai (Prata) and laugh at those overseas people spending big $ for a slice(sorry, I laugh when I can :P).

Roti Kosong (per slice):

KL - RM0.80 (in the 90s, the price was about RM0.40 per slice) = USD0.23

Singapore - SGD1.00 = USD0.50

VS. USD2.75 + sales tax per slice.

So, for friends in overseas, I will eat more for you :).

Zhng Car - Singapore style

Found some scenic views in Singapore ...

Zhng-ed Car in Singapore is about... STICKERS!!!!

Regardless you are Impreza RS (non turbo), got stickers, good enough :).
It is not about how geng(great performance wise) your car is, it is about stickers :)...

Chinese New Year is all about... (Continue)

Of course, Chinese New Year is not only about eat, sleep, wonder...

The greatest part during CNY is about spending time with family and friends. This is the part where the people in overseas missed the most.

Seeing grandma and parents older days by days, makes me think of my future relocation too.
