Christmas 2009

I was at Genting for Christmas 2009, where were you? The weather there was cold as usual and that’s the reason why it’s a good place to celebrate Christmas since Christmas should be white and freezing. And the crowd started to grow when it got nearer to midnight.


And I had steamboat for dinner! Although the food was just plain and ordinary but having steamboat during cold weather makes it taste a lot better


Everything was good until the time when I decided to go back but couldn’t find my car T_T. I was looking high and low, uphill and downhill and found it 2 hours later. Now what a memorable Christmas~

Rains and Rainbows

I went to jog yesterday in the park although the weather didn’t look good. Well I was desperately in a need to stretch some muscles at that time because I've been spending most of my waking hours in the office or at home, staring at my laptop. It was a good jog and right after I've finished the final lap, it started pouring like there’s no tomorrow. I was both lucky and unlucky because if it started to rain while I was still running, I will be so soaked as I will always try to finish my 3 laps even under the rain. But in the same time I was stranded there in the park, taking shelter under a small hut while waiting for the rain to stop.

There were sunshine although the rain was so heavy until I could hear the sound of water rushing along the huge drain nearby. I was sitting and staring blankly up to the sky when I saw a spectrum of color right in front of my eyes. I thought it was some illusion caused by my exhaustion but the color didn’t go away even after a few blinks of the eyes. And in a split second, I noticed the whole portrait; it was a rainbow right in front of me.

Now this rainbow wasn’t the same with those that I've encountered before. Rainbow, as what I'd seen before was breathtaking, enormous and far from reach. But this one was just a few steps away from me, initiating from the ground, curving towards the sky. Now who said it’s hard to find the end of the rainbow?

Luck, has a different meaning across the elapse of time. Not getting wet in the rain might sound lucky but getting stranded in the park might mean otherwise. But just when you are ready to conclude that luck isn’t on your side, seeing a rainbow might make you reconsider the situation. It is all about how the portrait is seen

Me And My Weather

I'm like a molecule which state will be affected by temperature. Ok maybe this isn’t a very good analogy but I’m actually trying to relate my mood with the weather. It will be very much affected by the weather and I found out that I'm a lot more sociable during sunny days. Yes I'm often more chatty and approachable during that time and the warmth keeps my energy up. But too much of it will also result in unnecessary heat and shoots my temper up. So outings which involves interactions is better done during this time

As for gloomy and rainy days, I'll prefer more privacy. The cool weather will easily put me in deep thought, “living in my own world” some might say. So this is the best time to do stuff which doesn’t need interactions like surfing or reading.

But for sure the weather isn’t the only thing that affects my mood. How I wish it is and life will be a lot simpler that way 

Dim Sum @ Hong Kong

I'm thinking that instead of splitting my HongKong trip into days, it would be better if I just pick those interesting stuff that I did randomly. And right now while sitting in the office waiting for my stuff to pass, I'm thinking of the dim sums that I had at Fu Sing Shark fin Restaurant at Wan Chai.

Now to me this is the Crème de la Crème of all dim sums:


Yes the Har Kau! Dim sum restaurant which doesn’t sell Har Kau is like Italian restaurant which doesn’t sell pizza:


And this is Siu Mai, the brother of Har Kau:


This is the Siu Loong Pau which is also the most expensive Siu Loong Pau that I ever had:


Cheong Fun:


And also Cha Siu Pau:


Although it’s a little pricey (quite obvious from the name of the restaurant) but I'm satisfied with the food and services provided
