Illusion of Words

Hong Kong (the first stage)

After bidding my family farewell, I was off to Hong Kong with my mom. More like a holiday. Except in HK, right now, there is only one word to describe it - HOT. There’s a cool breeze, but still it’s HOT like crazy. Even back home, I don’t sweat like this. Anyhow, all we did was eat and sleep, eat and sleep. The food prices are crazy. One meal costed us about HK$400. That’s not bad already, my grandparents said they ate one meal for 5 that was about HK$1000. Back home, it’d feed 10-12 persons in a really high class way.

Anyway, the food was too much. We ended up bringing packs of it home. One more week and a half here. I checked out a couple of cameras - quite overpriced, to tell the truth. Everything is so expensive. At least here I have a laptop (even if it is like no good) and a TV. But really, Shark and Prison Break dubbed in Cantonese? Crazy.

Random Ramblings

Hm. I’ve been neglecting this blog again - not that anyone reads it regularly, but still, at least just to post something.

Time is running fast. Actually, as fast as it always has been. Tick, tock. I used to say I was leaving end of July. One day, I had to say, ‘end of this month’. Two weeks later, it was ‘next week’. Today, I say ‘Monday’. It’s kind of sad and exciting all at the same time. The sad (scary) part is the leaving. The exciting part is the new experiences (and Macbook and guitar!)

I’ll be in Hong Kong for quite a while. Hong Kong is kind of like the place I’ve gone most often for holidays. I’ve actually been to Ocean Park at least thrice! The days before Disneyland came out. Anyhow, HK is always an exciting place. Buses all around. People all around. The restaurants serving dim sums in the morning that are always so noisy you cannot hear yourself talk. Then there’s my grandparents’ apartment, sandwiched somewhere between the sky and the earth. Meaning that if electricity was ever to go out, you might as well spend the night on the ground floor…

I’ve gone quite stupid these days - actually it’s because I haven’t studied in 9 months. I can’t remember the harder maths, biology and chemistry has flown out the window, physics has vanished into thin air. Come to think about it, the only thing I’ve learned more is about God. And about guitars. About the latter, that comes with hours of researching online. I’ve never owned an electric guitar, nor an amp, but I could tell you what are the popular stuff and their prices. I could say which effects box is good and which is bad. That’s crazy - and pretty useless.

Anyhow. Here goes the ramblings.
