It has been sometime since I last blog here.
During this absence, I have been to many places that I wish to share.
I been to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Himeji, Kobe, Shirakawa-Go, Tokyo and Nikko on Nov -Dec 2015.
An amazing and memorable trip with my love Connie. I see snow for first time and it feel so magical to see it with her at the same time.
Last year Nov 2016, I been to Bangkok (Again). I think this is the 4th times I been to Bangkok. And maybe a 5th trip to Bangkok again in 2 weeks time.
A few short weekend trip to Sekinchan, Melaka, Penang, Ipoh too.
Too many things to do and too little time to do.
Sometimes I wonder if we can do things in dream.
I mean if there is a helmet, that can read what I have in mind.
And then it can put me into a dream state, where maybe I can write this blog in my dream world.
Science fiction maybe? But we live in a world that has many crazy innovation. Half of the things we see now sound insane in last century too.
Maybe someday we can do that.
Such as we are put in long sleep mode to preserve body function while we travel across the universe. To a new habitable land. And in the sleep, we can continue to live in a virtual world. Write book. Learn new things.
Dream...
So to continue my dream. I will go sleep first.

Good Bye 2015
A look back on this year. I have been very busy. Many drama or things that normally happen in Korean Drama happen to me.
I meet with her again and some how our timing is right this time. Spark happen but many obstacle in between us. But as I continue to hold her hand and never let go easily, slowly one by one obstacle is overcome together with her.
The world is moving and so is my life. But still every year I will look back on important thing that has happened. The most important thing is
1. I found the One and Only One person that I want to stay together for the rest of my life. You completed me.
2. I go to Japan again. This time cover Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Himeji, Kobe, Shirakawa-Go, Nikko, Tokyo. A long and tiring trip but well worth it.
3. I see snow for the first time. I know I will see it someday but never able to imagine myself when I really see it. A very special and memorable experience.
4. My family member health condition. My parent both diagnosed with diabetes. My sis in Intensive Care Unit for almost a week due to Dengue. And my dad broken his shoulder/collarbone due to accident. All these tell me, treasure the precious moment that they are with you.
5. My career is slowly moving a step. I can predict 2016 will be an even more busy year for me.
I will try find time to conclude my Japan trip....
Undeniable fact is this blog is more of a travel info blog.....

2015 1st post
2015
A new year, new beginning.
But so far, everything seems to show that 2015 will be a year full of trouble.
Well can't be sure though. Since at the begining 2014, shown as a promising year but end up being quite bad.
To begin, year of 2015, with oil price and palm oil price plunges in global market, and the looming GST introduction, sign of bad years for the poor citizen can be seen.
Hence, even the property market seen some property price begin to reduce.
And some of the problem from the end of 2014 still not solved in 2015. Such as the flood that is affecting the east coast of peninsular Malaysia and the Air Asia plane crash.
Future don't seems to be good now.
The same goes to my life.....
My human relation problem seems to be getting more problem.
Maybe is my issue. I don't like to be an actor. Pretending. Laughing with the crowd.
A lot of time, I laugh but can stop the next second. Because it is a fake laugh.
The people that I can really show my heart is getting lesser and lesser.
I wonder why.
I always feel to have someone that can show their real heart is a very precious thing.
Since in this cruel world, everybody is wearing a mask and faking in front of you. So when someone can really be honest to you, isn't it something that precious. Something worth for you to maintain?
A friend of mine tell me a few things that I need to take note.
1. Don't expect. You should not expect the reaction of your friends. Just take it as it is and that is all. Because you have some expectation, and when they don't meet it, you are hurt.
2. Not every question have answer. Something, it is just no one that can answer you.
3. Don't so naive. This world is full of faker. So be one too.

2014 Summary
Another year going to end. Another single birthday has passed.
I guess I should just give up. Give up on love. Give up on building a family. And just live a single life.
Beside, these like not much big thing to talk about.
I guess I should just give up. Give up on love. Give up on building a family. And just live a single life.
I wonder if I am too good in hiding my heart. Many people say before, I sound like don't care, don't really need. Very cold blooded. 冷漠.
But sometimes, I just joke something and that is really what I wanted. I am someone who don't like to show my self. Afraid to show my real self.
But if I do say something like "I love you", I really meant it. I really meant that I love you and willing to share all the thing I have in this world with you, including my life.
But no one seems to believe that.
The world of 2014, a more and more realistic world. Everything is about personal advantage and benefit. Being nice to other people is a stupid thing to do. Not many people will appreciate it. So better to just be nice to yourself.

Important event happened this 2014?
1. Travel to Guang Zhou. First time to go to China. Although I did not visit any palace, historical chinese building or the Great Wall of China. But Guang Zhou is my grandfather hometown. I guess I should have some relative at this city. But almost no contact. I scare if I contact, someone call me uncle here.

2. Travel to Hong Kong and Macau. Both place is familiar places to me. I have seen the place in so many TV Drama and Movie, but the feeling is so different when I finally visit here.
3. Give up on someone. Someone that continuously give me false hope.
4. Family relation. I feel I am getting more distance with my parents. I start not to trust them anymore. Feel both of them value money more than me. Feel so sad.
5. I finally manage to reduce weight. Consider not bad, because I manage to reduce 8 kg.
Beside, these like not much big thing to talk about.
So for 2015, my goals is to accomplish the goals of 2014 which I should have done in 2013 because I made a promise in 2012 & planned to do in 2011.

她老了，你就变心了？
这天，白云酒楼里来了两位客人，一男一女，四十岁上下，穿着不俗，男的还拎着一个旅行包，看样子是一对出来旅游的夫妻。
服务员笑吟吟地送上菜单。男的接过菜单直接递女的，说：“你点吧，想吃什么点什么。”女的连看也不看一眼，抬头对服务员说：“给我们来碗馄饨就行了！”
服务员一怔，哪有到白云酒楼吃馄饨的？再说，酒楼里也没有馄饨卖啊。她以为自己没听清楚，不安的望着那个女顾客。女人又把自己的话重复了一遍，旁边的男人这时候发话了：“吃什么馄饨，又不是没钱？”
女人摇摇头说：“我就是要吃馄饨！”男人愣了愣，看到服务员惊讶的目光，很难为情地说：“好吧。请给我们来两碗馄饨。”
“不！”女人赶紧补充道，“只要一碗！”男人又一怔，一碗怎么吃？女人看男人皱起了眉头，就说：“你不是答应的，一路上都听我的吗？”
男人不吭声了，抱着手靠在椅子上。旁边的服务员露着了一丝鄙夷的笑意，心想：这女人抠门抠到家了。上酒楼光吃馄饨不说，两个人还只要一碗。她冲女人撇了撇嘴：“对不起，我们这里没有馄饨卖，两位想吃还是到外面大排挡去吧！”
女人一听，感到很意外，想了想才说：“怎么会没有馄饨卖呢？你是嫌生意小不愿做吧？”
这会儿，酒楼老板张先锋恰好经过，他听到女人的话，便冲服务员招招手，服务员走过去埋怨道：“老板，你看这两个人，上这只点馄饨吃，这不是存心捣吗？”
店老板微微一笑，冲她摆摆手。他也觉得很奇怪：看这对夫妻的打扮，应该不是吃不起饭的人，估计另有什么想法。不管怎样，生意上门，没有往外推的道理。
他小声吩咐服务员：“你到外面买一碗馄饨回来，多少钱买的，等会结帐时多收一倍的钱！”说完他拉张椅子坐下，开始观察起这对奇怪的夫妻。
过了一会，服务员捧回一碗热气腾腾的馄饨，往女人面前一放，说：“请两位慢用。”
看到馄饨，女人的眼睛都亮了，她把脸凑到碗面上，深深地细了一口气，然后，用汤匙轻轻搅拌着碗里的馄饨，好象舍不得吃，半天也不见送到嘴里。
男人瞪大眼睛看着女人，又扭头看看四周，感觉大家都在用奇怪的眼光盯着他们，顿感无地自容，恨恨地说道：“真搞不懂你在搞什么，千里迢迢跑来，就为了吃这碗馄饨？”
女人抬头说道：“我喜欢！”
男人一把拿起桌上的菜单：“你爱吃就吃吧，我饿了一天了，要补补。”他便招手叫服务员过来，一气点了七八个名贵的菜。
女人不急不慢，等男人点完了菜。这才淡淡地对服务员说：“你最好先问问他有没有钱，当心他吃霸王餐。”
没等服务员反应过来，男人就气红了脸：“放屁！老子会吃霸王餐？老子会没钱？”他边说边往怀里摸去，突然“咦”的一声：“我的钱包呢？”他索性站了起来，在身上又是拍又是捏，这一来竟然发现手机也失踪了。男人站着怔了半晌，最后将眼光投向对面的女人。
女人不慌不忙地说道：“迩别瞎忙活了，钱包和手机我昨晚都扔到河里了。”
男人一听，火了：“你疯了！”女人好象没听见一样，继续缓慢的搅拌着碗里的馄饨。男人突然想起什么，拉开随身的旅行包，伸手在里面猛掏起来。
女人冷冷说了句：“别找了，你的手表，还有我的戒指，咱们这次带出来所有值钱的东西，我都扔河里了。我身上还有五块钱，只够买这碗馄饨了！”
男人的脸刷地白了，一屁股坐下来，愤怒的瞪着女人：“你真是疯了，你真是疯了！咱们身上没有钱，那么远的路怎么回去啊？”
女人却一脸平静，不温不火地说：“你急什么？再怎么着，我们还有两条腿，走着走着就到家了。”
男人沉闷的哼了一声。女人继续说道：“二十年前，咱们身上一分钱也没有，不也照样回到家了吗？那时侯的天。比现在还冷呢！”
男人听了这句，不由的瞪直了眼：“你说，你说什么？”女人问：“你真的不记得了？”男人茫然的摇摇头。
女人叹了口气：“看来，这些年身上有了几个钱，迩就真的把什么都忘了。二十年前，咱们第一次出远门做生意，没想到被人骗了个精光，连回家的路费都没了。经过这里的时候，你要了一碗馄饨给我吃，我知道，那时候你身上就剩下五毛钱了……”
男人听到这里，身子一震，打量了四周：“这，这里……"女人说：“对，就是这里，我永远也不会忘记的，那时它还是一间又小又破的馄饨店。”
男人默默地低下头，女人转头对在一旁发愣的服务员道：“姑娘，请给我再拿只空碗来。”
服务员很快拿来了一只空碗，女人捧起面前的馄饨，拨了一大半到空碗里，轻轻推到男人面前：“吃吧，吃完了我们一块走回家！”
男人盯着面前的半碗馄饨，很久才说了句：“我不饿。”女人眼里闪动着泪光，喃喃自语：“二十年前，你也是这么说的！”说完，她盯着碗没有动汤匙，就这样静静地坐着。
男人说：“你怎么还不吃？”女人又哽咽了：“二十年前，你也是这么问我的。我记得我当时回答你。要吃就一块吃，要不吃就都不吃，现在，还是这句话！”
男人默默无语，伸手拿起了汤匙。不知什么原因，拿着汤匙的手抖得厉害，舀了几次，馄饨都掉下来。最后，他终于将一个馄饨送到了嘴里，使劲一吞，整个都吞到了肚子里。当他舀第二个馄饨的时候，眼泪突然“叭嗒、叭嗒"往下掉。
女人见他吃了，脸上露出了笑容，也拿起汤匙开始吃。馄饨一进嘴，眼泪同时滴进了碗里。这对夫妻就这和着眼泪把一碗馄饨分吃完了。
放下汤匙，男人抬头轻声问女人：“饱了么？”
女人摇了摇头。男人很着急，突然他好象想起了什么，弯腰脱下一只皮鞋，拉出鞋垫，手往里面摸，没想到居然摸出了五块钱。他怔了怔，不敢相信地瞪着手里的钱。
女人微笑的说道：“二十年前，你骗我说只有五毛钱了，只能买一碗馄饨，其实呢，你还有五毛钱，就藏在鞋底里。我知道，你是想藏着那五毛钱，等我饿了的时候再拿出来。后来你被逼吃了一半馄饨，知道我一定不饱，就把钱拿出来再买了一碗！"顿了顿，她又说道，“还好你记得自己做过的事，这五块钱，我没白藏！”
男人把钱递给服务员：“给我们再来一碗馄饨。”服务员没有接钱，快步跑开了，不一会，捧回来满满一大碗馄饨。
男人往女人碗里倒了一大半：“吃吧，趁热！”
女人没有动，说：“吃完了，咱们就得走回家了，你可别怪我，我只是想在分手前再和你一起饿一回。苦一回！”
男人一声不吭，低头大口大口吞咽着，连汤带水，吃得干干净净。他放下碗催促女人道：“快吃吧，吃好了我们走回家！”
女人说：“迩放心，我说话算话，回去就签字，钱我一分不要，你和哪个女人好，娶个十个八个，我也不会管你了……”
男人猛地大声喊了起来：“回去我就把那张离婚协议书烧了，还不行吗？"说完，他居然号啕大哭，“我错了，还不行吗？我脑袋抽筋了，还不行吗？”
女人面带笑容，平静地吃完了半碗馄饨，然后对服务员：“姑娘，结帐吧。”，
一直在旁观看的老板张先锋猛然惊醒，快步走了过来，挡住了女人的手，却从身上摸出了两张百元大钞递了过去：“既然你门回去就把离婚协议书烧了，为什么还要走路回家呢？”
男人和女人迟疑地看着店老板，店老板微笑道：“咱们都是老熟人了，你门二十年前吃的馄饨，就是我卖的，那馄饨就是我老婆亲手做的！”说罢，他把钱硬塞到男人手中，头也不回地走了……
店老板回到办公室，从抽屉取出那张早已拟好的离婚协议书，怔怔地看了半晌，喃喃自语地说：“看来，我的脑袋也抽筋了……”
分手时想想以前，那个陪你甘苦与共的人，一路走来。其实你们的故事并不短。时间慢慢过去，那些感动却一点一点封存。其实最疼你的人不是那个甜言蜜语哄你开心的人。也许就是在鞋底藏5元钱。在最后的时候把最后一点东西省着给你吃，却说不饿的人……

Plan for the day : Enjoy my hotel to the max before check out and then go back to Hong Kong. Stop at Tung Chung Outlet. If got more time, can also go take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car ride.
Finally had a breakfast in the office room. A new first time experience for me. I choose a very healthy breakfast for the day. Taste really good. But some complain here. As I need to call the desk to remind them to send the breakfast to me.
After the breakfast, not much time left as I need to quickly rush to pier before I miss my ferry.
Arrive at pier with about 15 minutes before my ferry departure time.
There is news that some student is gathering and doing demonstration. So I hope I can get to Tung Chung safely. Far away from Central. The train proceed as usual, hardly feel any interruption to my plan. But I do wonder if I should pass by Central or not. Maybe if I am not carrying the heavy luggage, I will do it.
Tung Chung is the last place to shop for outlet in Hong Kong. It is so near the Hong Kong airport that almost 80% of tourist with time left will spend their Hong Kong dollar here before boarding their flight. The mall offer some storage locker for big luggage but I would suggest you not to care looking for it as there is hardly enough locker for all the visitor/tourist here. Plus none of the shop stop me from entering their shop with the luggage. Some even have a special area where you can temporary leave your luggage for a while. I did leave for a short period at one shop. Keeping my eyes on the luggage in case someone steal my things.
And finally the Hong Kong Airport. This replica of early airplane is another favorite photo spot. But I should have take a photo outside of the airport. Or the entrance to the departure. Cause that is the spot that always appear in TV drama or Hong Kong movie.

Plan for the Day : Go to Macau and visit famous place in Macau such as Senato Square, Ruins of St Paul, etc
How to go Macau from HK : Pier at Sheung Wan and Tsim Sha Tsui sell the ferry ticket to Macau. Trip will take about 1 hour. Sheung Wan Pier is within walking distance from the MRT
The night before is more quiet. No gangster fighting. Anyway I pack the luggage and check out from the hotel early in the morning. Even though the hotel included breakfast but I never had one meal here.
The boat ride is quite stable. Don't feel the seasick. A surprise thing to see that the boat itself have free WIFI.
Outside of the pier, there is a list of free shuttle bus that you can take to more famous and large hotel, such as Venetian Casino, Starworld etc. The hotel I am staying is not in the list. But taxi is easily available here.
The hotel room is not ready when I check in the hotel. I leave my luggage with the concierge and go to nearby 官也街 Ruo do Cunha. This street is famous for good food and souvenir for tourist.
Yes, just reach Macau and I start to look for things to eat. XD
The day is still early, most shop just begin to operate.
First stop is a Macau cafe. Must try the Portuguese Egg Tart and Macau Pork Chop Burger.
The egg tart, sure taste better than the one I had in Hong Kong.
Next is Crab Porridge. This shop is quite famous and is recommended by many Hong Kong celebrity too.
After so much of good food, I decided to walk to nearby Starworld casino and Venetian. Both casino is very impressive and big. But not much photo taken here.
Back at my hotel and finally get to see my room. It looks like a mini villa or a studio. My only complain is the bath tub is so big that filling it up with water took almost 30 minutes. Beside this the room is fantastic.
I need to take a taxi so from Taipa to reach most tourist spot at Macau. Due to heavy traffic, the taxi refuse to actually stop at the St Paul Ruins and ask me to get out nearby and walk on my own.
Oh well.... I guess everywhere taxi is the same.
First stop is the Senato square. I almost can't recognize the place even though it has appear so many times in various different movie and tv drama.
I don't know what is the name of this building. But can see it is historic portugese design. So it should be old. Probably a hundred years old.
Inside need to be real quiet because can see some local people is having their prayer session.
After I come back, I found an article in the net, it say next to this statue near the St Paul ruins, that is a famous "Lover Lane". Hmm... not for me.
The front of the famous St Paul ruins. Almost a must visit place if you come to Macau. If you never check in here, you haven't visited Macau yet.
Many people told me the ruins is really just the front entrance still standing. From the back, you can't see a building or a church. I climb up the stair just to take this photo.
Next stop is another meal at a macau cafe. Steam egg desert this time. I really eat a lot in this trip...
The famous Lisboa casino. The casino really transform Macau from some small town to a major tourist spot it is today. Since casino and gambling is prohibited in China, millions of chinese flocking to Macau to gamble every year. And with the China economy going stronger, the number continue to grow.
The original Lisboa casino is getting old. Thus a newer casino is build right next to it. The design of the building looks very weird but I heard that there is some feng shui behind it. It is like many sword pierce right thru the center of the casino. Into the heart of gambler. So that they die losing all the money in the casino. I wonder if it is true.
Nearby here, there is a few more big casino such as Wynn.
Back to Ruo do Cunha for my dinner. The starbuck here looks very cute.
This is a famous portugese restaurant at Macau. But some find the food so so. Some feel it is good.
I heard a customer ask the waitress to recommend the nice food here, and the waitress comment is "I can't recommend for you because the food I find tasty might not suit your taste". I don't know I should say she is very honest or rude.
A cup of special red wine cocktail here and grilled beef rib steak. The steak feel dried but kind of good. I guess the waitress is right. Coz normally there will be some sauce to go with the steak but here it is quite plain. Can only say the portugese style food does not suit my taste bud.
Return to my room and enjoy the beautiful night scenery from my room.
And some Portugese egg tart as midnight supper.

Back at my hotel and finally get to see my room. It looks like a mini villa or a studio. My only complain is the bath tub is so big that filling it up with water took almost 30 minutes. Beside this the room is fantastic.
I need to take a taxi so from Taipa to reach most tourist spot at Macau. Due to heavy traffic, the taxi refuse to actually stop at the St Paul Ruins and ask me to get out nearby and walk on my own.
Oh well.... I guess everywhere taxi is the same.
First stop is the Senato square. I almost can't recognize the place even though it has appear so many times in various different movie and tv drama.
I don't know what is the name of this building. But can see it is historic portugese design. So it should be old. Probably a hundred years old.
Inside need to be real quiet because can see some local people is having their prayer session.
After I come back, I found an article in the net, it say next to this statue near the St Paul ruins, that is a famous "Lover Lane". Hmm... not for me.
The front of the famous St Paul ruins. Almost a must visit place if you come to Macau. If you never check in here, you haven't visited Macau yet.
Many people told me the ruins is really just the front entrance still standing. From the back, you can't see a building or a church. I climb up the stair just to take this photo.
Next stop is another meal at a macau cafe. Steam egg desert this time. I really eat a lot in this trip...
The famous Lisboa casino. The casino really transform Macau from some small town to a major tourist spot it is today. Since casino and gambling is prohibited in China, millions of chinese flocking to Macau to gamble every year. And with the China economy going stronger, the number continue to grow.
The original Lisboa casino is getting old. Thus a newer casino is build right next to it. The design of the building looks very weird but I heard that there is some feng shui behind it. It is like many sword pierce right thru the center of the casino. Into the heart of gambler. So that they die losing all the money in the casino. I wonder if it is true.
Nearby here, there is a few more big casino such as Wynn.
Back to Ruo do Cunha for my dinner. The starbuck here looks very cute.
This is a famous portugese restaurant at Macau. But some find the food so so. Some feel it is good.
I heard a customer ask the waitress to recommend the nice food here, and the waitress comment is "I can't recommend for you because the food I find tasty might not suit your taste". I don't know I should say she is very honest or rude.
A cup of special red wine cocktail here and grilled beef rib steak. The steak feel dried but kind of good. I guess the waitress is right. Coz normally there will be some sauce to go with the steak but here it is quite plain. Can only say the portugese style food does not suit my taste bud.
Return to my room and enjoy the beautiful night scenery from my room.
And some Portugese egg tart as midnight supper.
