halloween birthday

Halloween -- cool ey? Even ghosts have their special celebration :) But same as Thanksgiving, Halloween is more of American celebration, I don't think any other countries celebrate it as big as the Americans, though it's kinda fun and cool having few friends gather and dress up like 'famous' ghosts character and give little treats to kids. But if we have to dress up like 'local' ghosts, that would be entirely too scary ^o^.

Other than that, today is my best friend's birthday. He is not a birthday celebration kind of guy, he likes to keep his birthday quiet and just pretend nothing's going on. I called him up this morning and as I've guessed it, none of his office friends know that it's his birthday today and he intends to keep it low-key .. oh well, what can I say. For what I remembered, I think we only celebrated his birthday once, when he turned 21.

We've been friends for 11 years now, I think he might be my longest non-Indo friend from uni, he is Taiwanese btw but has become an Australian citizen for couple of years. Since the first month I arrived in Aussie, he has become my good friend, even we both went to different major after Foundation year, we remained in touch.

Few years back, we even made a pact, inspired by the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding", by the time we reach 40 (I know it's a little bit too old, should set it earlier ^^) if none of us married, we will marry each other. But same thing like in the movie, just 2 months ago, he told me that he has proposed to his gf for 3 years to marry him .. congrats to you both. But don't worry, unlike the movie, I don't have any intention of stealing him LOL.

So anyway, happy birthday B .. hope everything works out the best for you and the future ahead you brings you lots of happiness. Hope to see you soon enough .. I'm counting down to that day :)

To those of you going for Musicman Concert in SG tomorrow -- have fun. All of you are so gonna enjoy every minutes of it .. I wish I can be there. He totally ROCKS!!!

Instead I'll be settling this weekend with Ty Pennington's new book I bought yesterday (and maybe a little pamper at the salon) and start planning on my room renovation. I love his TV show 'Extreme Make-over - Home Edition' and he is one of 2 my fave designers, 2nd to Nate Berkus from Oprah's Show. When I saw the book, no 2nd thought, I quickly bought it. He is a hunky too *grin*

Happy Halloween everybody ... have a fun thrilling weekend

series freak

I'm a total FRIENDS freak, I've never missed a single episodes even before I went to OZ. The show started in 1995 and I had them on VHS (lots) before DVD got so popular. I was so sad when they ended the series after 10 years of friendship ...

Upon my return, I bought the "pirated" for whole 10 seasons 'cos the original DVD was entirely overpriced.

A while ago, while browsing on Amazon, I came across this beautiful 10 seasons in 1 pack for USD199.99, each season comes in a very nice individual pack with every episodes nicely reviewed. I'm so gonna buy it .. but I have to wait for economic crisis to pass as the USD has rised up ridiculously.

- isn't these lovely? -

Another series I regularly watched when I was in OZ and love 'till now -- but couldn't find the series here is 7th Heaven -- story about a Christian family with 5 children at first and 2 twins added in 5th season. The story involved around love and lesson in life that we could simply adapted in our everyday life. I haven't seen the 6th and 7th season as the 6th started when I left OZ in 2002 and YEY, they came out in DVD -- again for USD199.99 for the whole 7th season. GASP!!

It seems that for this one, I might get it per season instead of the whole seasons in 1 pack, so I have time to collect them all. I'll go for FRIENDS pack instead of this one.

Finally, I have full collections of Saved by the Bell series -- the first US series I've ever watched and I literally grew up with this series .. which took me about 5 months to collect 5 seasons of high school, 1 season of college and the movie. Pheewww!! It took a while. For those who don't know Saved by the Bell -- it's sitcom series back in early 1990 about bunch of high school kids and funny principal, starred Mark-Paul Gossellar as the naughty Zach Morris.

Here is a sneak peek

the hatred of waiting

Just to start up with, I hate waiting and I don't like to make people wait .. I prefer to go earlier knowing that Jakarta's street is always in traffic and I expect people will do the same too. Thank God, all my friends are so understanding when it comes to punctuality. But that doesn't go for public transportation in Jakarta particularly.

So all of you who read my blog knows how I struggle with public transportation everyday, my office isn't located in CBD area, it's a little out of city and the transporation is really difficult. We don't have those fancy public transportation like MRT and comfortable bus to begin with, though we do have small mini buses and 'angkot' which is very old, broken and not suppose to be in use anymore ... and they can stop literary anywhere and come with no schedule -- refer to my post on "The Beauty of Public Transportation"

There is only 1 so-called comfy bus that I can take from my house straight to work -- In the morning, my mom would drop me off at the bus stop then I take the bus straight to work. In theory, the bus should come within 1/2 hour but in practice, no such thing. It's quite lucky if you can catch it within 1 hour, in order to catch the earliest bus so I can reach work on time, I have to leave home at about 6:15am the latest and I will get to work at about close to 8am depending on the traffic -- my work starts at 9pm, which means I have to wake up at least 5:30am. I went through that for about 3 years of my working days and I had enough, just too early.

Now, I get a lift from my friend to Senayan area then I take a bus number 16 to my office, which just work nicely. Normally I wait 10 to 20 mins tops for the bus, plus I can have more time in the morning, wake up later at 6:30am and have a chat with my friend along the way and clock in at work at about 8:30 to 8:45. Nice arrangement.

Today -- since rainy season has started, I don't wanna go through the hassle of changing bus after getting off from my friend's car, so I thought I try to go back to my old routine .. but instead of getting the earliest bus, I'll take the 2nd on schedule, which in theory suppose to be at 8am and I should reach the office at about 8:45am. I reached the bus stop at 7:45 this morning .. giving about 15 mins waiting time -- quite reasonable.

15 mins -- 30 mins -- finally after 45 mins of waiting endlessly, at exact time of 8:32 the bus arrived. And yes, I came in late today, clocked in at 9:10 this morning. So much for getting out of the hassle of catching the rain, I wasted so much time waiting for nothing .. SIGH!!

DT in action

Big thanks to Lia for these pics .. taken from first row of silver seat, so it was rather far.

two more to complete

These two rare albums -- 3rd album Missing You (好想你) and 4th album White Paper (白紙) are the only two albums to complete my FULL collections of LH's 12 years of work. Well, of course there are singles, compilations, live CDs and so on and so on .. but I don't intend to collect those, if I find them somehow someway, then it's good but I'm not gonna intentionally look for those. Searching his old albums is already hard enough, so if I get my hand on these two albums, I've completed my tasks.

I went in to every CD shops I passed in Taipei and Hong Kong, but no luck. They said it's already out of print. The only place to find is online shop which is all in Mandarin that I don't understand .. :(

So if anyone can locate these 2 albums and nice enough to help me get them .. it will be Fantasic!! :) Thank you in advance.

- Missing You -

- White Paper -

the only PINK I love ..

Please meet my old times passion .. most of my friends said it so not me for adoring this cute pinkish bunny, since I'm so boyish. But hey, she was my first ever passion before I got hook up with Mickey Mouse. I used to be in Sanrio fans club when I was younger until My Melody disappeared from the market .. that's why I got so crazy in Hong Kong seeing store full of her *big grin*. Heard that her character is now a game on NDS console. Hmmm ...

Physical Description

My Melody was the first major bunny character released by Sanrio. She is completely white, but she wears a red or pink hood and a red heart tattoo. Her riding hood usually has a pink bow, but it sometimes has a rose. My Melody was first featured wearing a red hood, but it soon became a pink hood. She is now back to wearing a red hood. She is sometimes accompanied by her friends; a lamb named Hitsuji-chan, mouse named Flat, and her nemesis Kuromi.

Finally ...

After almost 11 months since Lee Hom first Jakarta Concert on 11 January 2008, I finally got to see the autographed photo of him hang in Sands Lobby ..

It says "Dear Sands, ... With Love, his complete autograph, date and .. First Show in INDO" He must have adapted the word INDO from our fans club OUR HOME INDO :)

My HERO ...

DT in the house

I have been looking forward for DT's concert for a long time, even before my Taiwan trip .. not only becos he is LH's best friend but he is too a very good musician. I maybe LH's fan and I may not know the lyrics of all of his songs but it was wonderful to finally see his performance LIVE.

Six of us (from OHI) went for the concert .. we checked in to Novotel on Saturday afternoon. After settling in -- I saw Kheng Long on the way in where he went for spa, we then went to get our tickets from WProductions and I was told that DT will have rehearsal at 3pm that day.

The day before we have sent balloon arrangement to DT's room (apparently DT is allergic to flower) and we have prepared Pandan cake for DT and the crew members for some rehearsal munchy. Hope all of you them get to try some.

- balloon for DT -

At about 3:30 we headed down to Sands to pass the cake and a little gift for DT. While waiting for my organizer friend to show up, we got to hear DT's rehearsal from Sands lobby. There were few familiar songs and when we were just about to leave, DT rehearsed Jin Tian Ni Yao Jia Gei Wo .. YEY!! And I'm sure he's gonna sing Ai Hen Jian Dan, Cao Zi Ji. Looking forward for the concert badly ...

Before I left, I saw Sean (the 'master' of WProductions) -- I get to know him during our first involvement for LH's Jakarta concert in January. Talked to him a bit and request to bring Musicman to Jakarta (fingers crossed) and wish him good luck for tonight's gig.

7:30 -- SHOWTIME! Dejavu .. We bought the silver ticket as we couldn't afford the VIP ticket. The seat was rather far, but I know I'm so gonna enjoy the concert that night. I didn't even bring my camera, with the blue light stick in my hand I was so ready to have fun.

At about 8pm, the curtain went up. Familiar band members from Jamie Wilson, Kheng Long, David Tan, Jingle to Lisa and Ke Wei (the backup singers) who we known from LH's Taipei Concert were there. Only the drummer and percussion were new to us. There wasn't any opening artist like 2 sands concert I went before, it was a full 1.5 hours DT concert which was amazing. Honestly the concert was rather simple, there wasn't any dancer and DT didn't even change any clothes throughout the concert but the concert was totally awesome. His voice was stable throughout the concert and he played few instruments. And most importantly, he was great in warming up the audiences which were very quiet. True musician indeed ...

One thing about Sands concert I don't understand 'till now, why there were so many audiences like to walk around much? They simply have too much money to spend? That's not how you watch concert people. You should stay in your seat 'till the concert ends and enjoy the show. So annoying ... :(

He opened his concert with song Runaway followed by more hits such Jiu Shi Ni, Moon Over my Heard, Regular Friends and some others which (truly sorry) I don't know the titles, but they were all familiar to my ears. I think the only song I can sing from beginning to end was DT's duet or triplet (:D) with Lisa and Ke Wei - DT and Jolin's version of Jin Tian Ni Yao Jia Kei Wo. So cool!!

Throughout the concert, I could say that we screamed the loudest, we sat all the way back but we were the noisiest audiences for sure. People looked at us like we were some kind of weirdos haha .. we screamed Jamie's, Kheng Long's, David Tan's, Jingle's name and of course DT HEN PANG!!! And the fact that we weren't DT's fans .. but we got so high seeing him performing in front of us.

It was so sad that the audiences or so-called DT's fans were so passive and ignorant of the concert. The concert should have been high from the moment the artist came out to the stage .. 'till the encore part, we were the only people who screamed ENCORE and tried to get the other audiences to at least feel excited a little bit and tried to get DT out again ... but NOPE .. those rich people just sat there looking totally lost. 'till David Tan and Jamie tried to warm them up, finally they got high just towards the end of the concert .. SIGH!!!

DT sang 2 songs for Encore -- Cao Zi Ji and Ai Hen Jian Dan. Surprisingly DT interacted more with the audiences than LH did in January and thank God he spoke more English than Mandarin, so we can totally understand what he said LOL!

1.5 hours went by, I enjoyed every minutes of it. I totally lost my voice and it was totally worth it. DT is a great musician indeed ..

We wore our LovePeaceMusic tee, everyone thinks that we are DT's Fans Club -- After concert, we hooked up with Jamie and Jingle who remembered us from previous LH's concert in Taipei. We got to chat a bit with Jamie and he said that he heard us scream so loud that we should be put in front and put the rich people all the way back instead 'cos the people who sat in front were all looking lost and looked like they were not watching a concert.

- Jamie & the girls -

Jingle remembered us completely 'cos we stopped him on the street of Taipei for a picture. He then asked us for his famous high-five. Nice to see you again Jingle.

- With Jingle (my light stick glow along with the flash) -

And lastly Ke Wei who thought we were DT's fans club. When we told her that we are LH's fans, she was surprised :D We enjoy DT's music as much. She was so pretty and cool. We love you Ke Wei ..

I then texted my organizer friend to tell DT that we love the concert .. she showed my text message to DT's manager and Kheng Long, she said they both were really happy to know that :)

Day after the concert, there was a big regret in me .. Grrrr, why didn't I think of it earlier, I should have ask for DT's autograph on my CD. I brought it but yet didn't cross my mind to get it signed. I could have ask my organizer friend to get it signed .. :( I'm so sad and so regret now .. oh well what to do.

Anyway, I was told that DT's flight would be at 1pm on Sunday ... but we were so worn out by the concert, we checked out quite late and we figured DT has left. But when we reached the parking lot, Renny spotted the "usual car" was still parked nicely, so I immediately asked my organizer friend and she told me that DT hasn't left the hotel .. he was about to leave. So then we went back to the lobby and went out to our waiting spot (we saw LH left the hotel for airport on the same spot in January) -- high anticipation, 15 mins later the car came out of from the car park with Sean sitting in front and we quickly waved at DT and YES, he saw us and waved back (with a little shocking face) :D We were so happy ...

Hope you enjoy your stay DT .. looking forward for your next works.

Exhaustion ...

It took me 2 weeks exactly to realize that I'm extremely exhausted. I haven't stopped and had decent rest since I got back from my holiday which took almost 80% of my energy plus experienced 2 typhoons. And many late nights since I got back .. the weather hasn't been nice too -- It has been extremely HOT these last few days.

So finally, after a full weekend with good friend came back from SG, I collapsed successfully. On Sunday afternoon, after attending a friend's wedding mass and watching Laskar Pelangi, my battery went flat. My body screamed for help and asked me to slow down. I couldn't stop shivering, I had a fever and my throat hurt real bad.

From Sunday night to Wednesday, I spent them all, resting my body, trying to gain back my energy and ZZZZ like baby. And yes .. I had to go to the doctor, which was the last thing I wanted to do, but well what to do .. the office required medical certificate if you off from work for more than 1 day, plus my body seriously in need of medicines. The doctor's diagnose was I was too tired and had a throat infection .. hmm I wonder why?!

Today, it's first day back after charging my battery, still a little bit nozzy .. perhaps too much sleep or still lacking of sleep. I have full plans ahead, so I have to be healthy for the next few weekends.

So friends -- please look after and take care of yourself, health is expensive and seriously not fun being sick.

David Tao Live in Concert

David Tao will hold a concert at Sands, Jakarta on 25 Oct .. and they came up with this new promotion, buy 1 get 1 free using UOB credit card. I was told by a friend when I was in Taipei that they came up with this promo, huh! :(

It was just a week after I settled the ticket payment. I wasn't planning to watch in VIP seat 'cos it cost 1.8 million .. I'm not gonna spend that much money other than for Lee Hom plus I'm completely broke. But with this promo, I won't mind getting the VIP seat .. darn!! Oh well, I have to settle with 3rd class seat.

Anyway, I heard that Lee Hom recommended him to come to Jakarta and hold a concert here, so I guess he was pretty happy during his stays here last January. Happy to hear that .. :D

FYI. WProductions is fairly new organizer so they still need lots of supports they could get .. DT is the 2nd artists they invited which before they have successfully bringing S.H.E here last August and who knows they might bring Musicman to Jakarta again *grin*

wang lee hom is coming to town ...

This morning I was browsing through wlh.com and I found my report on Indo concert in January 2008 posted there .. I totally forgot about this, I must be losing my memory :D

So I thought of posting it on my blog, so I keep this memory forever ... with a little changes ..

Wang Lee Hom is coming to town …

When OurHome Indo (OHI) was approached by the organizer in beginning of November 2007 about the confirmation of Lee Hom first concert in Jakarta, Indonesia, we were amazingly surprised. We are considered to be the newest member of OurHome’s family, we are only 1 year old and we just never expected that Lee Hom is going to visit us that soon and specially to start his kick-off concert in 2008 here … in our country.

There were only about 2 months time, more or less ‘till the concert … OHI made major preparations from promoting to the international fans clubs and the local fans, fans club’s ticket booking, re-ordering club t-shirts, planning gifts for Lee Hom and all the crews, and just about everything that we can think of to make Lee Hom’s first visit to Jakarta memorable and comfortable as possible.

In between those preparations, we received shocking news that the concert was postponed, we were devastated and worried that the concert might be cancelled somehow someway … but thank God everything went as scheduled. OHI admins were stress, anxious and excited at the same time, as this would be our first time as host to Lee Hom and his crews and to other International fans coming for the concert, where we have no idea what to expect.

About one week to the concert, while all the anticipation raise up high, we received sad news that there won’t be any Meet and Greet or Fans Gathering where Lee Hom can have close interaction with his fans here. But we understand Lee Hom’s packed schedule which doesn’t give him much time to have Meet and Greet.

10 January 2008 … the moment of truth.
Lee Hom arrived in Jakarta from Hong Kong by Cathay Pacific at about 13:20 local time. I managed to welcome him just right after he stepped out from the plane. He was wearing OHI’s official tee, Lee Hom greeted me with his most sincere smile while showing the tee that he was wearing. I was stunned by his humble smile and I was speechless, 'till my friend tap me and brought me back from my dreamland saying that he was actually waiting for me to talk to him .. all I can say was "Have a good time" .. dumb dumb!!

He looked so happy and excited as probably this was his first visit to Jakarta. I passed him a traditional batik robe embroidered with Lee Hom’s dragon logo … Welcome to Jakarta Homie.

Outside, there were about 50 fans welcoming him. There was quite a big chaos when Lee Hom came out, OHI admins tried to settle the people down, but perhaps they wanted to see Lee Hom up close and personal. But luckily the 12 bodyguards were quickly protected him from those fans and Lee Hom safely reached the car prepared by the organizer. Some lucky fans managed to get his hi-5 and handshake. Lee Hom was then taken to Novotel where he’ll be staying during the 3 days of his visit.

11 January 2008 … Gai Shi Ying Xiong Dao Lai …
After few rehearsals the night before and today, finally the concert was just hours away. OHI admins and members were getting ready for the big day, after 2 months of waiting, Lee Hom is here to give his best performance as always.

We heard that it was a FULL HOUSE concert ranging from VVIP seat to free-standing Festival, with estimation of 2000 people came to see Lee Hom’s performance live. The concert was opened by local artists, Idol Divo, 4 guys of the winner and runner up of Indonesian Idol 1st and 2nd season, singing 6 english songs. They sang beautifully, but the fans were more anxious of seeing Lee Hom.

So finally at about 8:30pm, the curtains went up, with the band wearing white clothes as usual, Lee Hom came out wearing his chinked-out outfit singing his famous opening set of Gai Shi Ying Xiong, Fang Kai Ni de Xin and Ai Ni Jiu Deng Yu Ai Zi Ji beautifully.

17 live songs in 1 ½ hours performance were delivered amazingly by Lee Hom with neverending screaming from the fans ranging from kids to oldies, international fans coming from Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Brazil. The songs ranging from his old album ‘till his latest one, such as Bu Yao Hai Pha, Julia, Ya Birthday, Forever Love, Kiss Goodbye, Gai Bian Zi Ji and Wo Men De Ge … showing his musical skills from piano, guitar, drum and violin. It was just unbelievable. He rocks the house for sure …

There were some fans handed-in presents and flowers on stage, as well as OHI’s big surprise to Lee Hom, we made sketch picture of him riding on a airplane, flying from Taiwan to Jakarta while Indo fans are waiting and singing “You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why, Wang Lee Hom is coming to town …” He was so happy when he received it.

Before singing Forever Love, Lee Hom said that he wanted to see the audience clearly, so he asked to turn on the light and saying that he wanted to come down from the stage to greet the audience closer .. it took all the bodyguards by surprise, and there was a sudden chaos .. but it was total worth.

Finally, he closed the concert by singing Wei Yi heartly .. and we knew that it was time to say goodbye, the concert is over. He introduced the bands and bid us goodbye. He then continued with media interviews in another room.

Thank you Lee Hom for the wonderful and amazing performance. It was certainly the night we would never forget, as it Lee Hom’s first concert at OHI’s HOME – Jakarta, Indonesia.

12 January 2008 … Pajamas Style Kiss Goodbye …
We were not sure what time exactly Lee Hom will leave the hotel to the airport and fly back to Hong Kong and continue with his busy schedule. So OHI’s admins and few members who stayed at the hotel for the night, waited patiently, still in our pajamas and sleeping clothes, along with panda eyes and pillow face … just hoping to catch last glimpse of Lee Hom before he left.

Time passed, finally 7:45am, the same car from the arrival approached to where we were waiting, we knew that Lee Hom is inside. The car passed, we saw him and we waved him goodbye and Lee Hom waved back excitingly and perhaps surprise seeing girls in pajamas sending him off :D

Special thanks to Sands Executive Club for inviting Lee Hom and for making our dreams come true. Thank you to SonyBMG Taiwan and Indonesia for supporting and for all the helps in making our dreams come true. And finally to Lee Hom, thank you for coming to visit us and give your utmost and unforgettable performance.

On behalf of all the fans in Indonesia, we want to apologize for any inconvinient happened during your stay in Jakarta. Good luck for your future works, it’s gonna ROCK.

This might be your first trip, but we hope that this won’t be the last.

two new watches after ...

It has been forever since I'm planning to get new watch. I had 2 Guess watches for almost 8 years now and I've been eyeing on this Guess square shape watch for ages, but Gosh it's so expensive ... which I think it's now no longer available in the market .. :(

I guess the eagerness of having that watch has left my mind. Few months ago, Ling informed me that ebay malaysia selling LH's Heroes of Earth Sony Ericsson limited edition watch for RM99 .. so I immediately asked her to help me bid on that and yey I won it, but the waiting took forever. I finally get hand on the watch during my trip to Taipei passed along by another friend. So yey, I now have square shape watch though it's totally different from what I wanted. But it was good .. the strap is so thick and it doesn't look like a free give-away kind of stuffs, so I'm happy with it.

And during my visit to Hong Kong Disneyland -- where I wasn't planning to get another, my eyes caught on this Disney Watch, it's not like those kiddy watch kind of type, it's quite elegant for a Disney stuff .. I was still going back and forth thinking whether I should get it or not. So at the end, before the fireworks started in Disneyland, I spent HKD450 getting the watch which I'm so happy I did ..

Now, I have 2 new watches ... YEY!!

Back to reality ..

My 2 weeks holiday has finally come to an end .. it surely went to fast but it was indeed wonderful. Tiring but amazing .. experiencing typhoon in both countries, getting lost in Taipei 'cos of the language barriers, acting like 5 years old kid in HK Disneyland, meeting my idol face to face along with his mom and grandma, it was indeed an amazing holiday. All the tiredness, the bankrupcty totally paid of -- well NOT ... Now I have to face all my credit card bills and the fact that I'm back to reality, working my butt off for my next holiday destination .. hmm, where to??

8 days in Taipei were great. When we reached there, the typhoon attacked. Luckily it went just 1 1/2 days, there rest of the days were bright HOT sunny day. Finally after 22 years, I visited CKS Memorial Hall, HI, grand uncle! :D For those who don't know Chiang Kai Sek (the first Taiwan's president) was my grand uncle. CKS's daughter in law is my grandma's cousin. Cool ey!! :)

But 'cos of the bad weather, we didn't manage to go around Taiwan, we stucked in Taipei instead, was planning to go to Kaoshiung and take the speed train, but well too bad ... well anyway, I'm planning to make Taiwan as my regular trip, maybe every 2-3 years. It's a nice place though we got lost so many times, but that makes the trip so much fun and memorable. And OMG, CDs and Books are so damn cheap .. too bad the food weren't so nice.

These are my new CDs collections ..

As for HK, it's nice to see my family again there -- my 2 cousins I haven't seen for 16 years, we were like strangers at first but we catch up quick, nice growing up Justin :) Finally, I went to Disneyland. The first Disneyland I went was in Tokyo back in 1986, nothing much I could remember where I've been a Disney's fan since I can remember. That day I felt like a lost control 5 years old kid ..

Hi Mickey .. :D

Other than crazy for Disney character, Mickey Mouse in particular, I'm crazy of Sanrio - My Melody, which is very hard to find here ... but what do you know, HK has a Sanrio shop in the Causeway Bay Sogo, just next to the MTR. Seriously I went ballistic when I reached level 7. Look at what happened to my 1 day hunting in Sogo .. I'm not even a PINK person, and I turned my room to pinkish theme 'cos of this cute bunny.

Oh well, for what it worths, I don't go to HK every year .. might as well I just make the best of it :) Though now I suffer from a very bad bankruptcy but it's totally worth every penny.

As to close today's blog .. WISH TO SEE YOU IN TAIWAN ... again someday :)
