Hong Kong V.2

Sorry for keep everyone waiting for Hong Kong V.2, as I said in my previous piece of blog, I've been lazy :p
This time I would like to introduce a good place to see and eat "Temple Street", it's located in Yau Ma Tei. If you take the MTR, you can get off at Yau Ma Tei station and look for the exit C. Or you can take any bus which will go to Nathan Road, you let the driver knows you wanna head to Temple Street, I'm sure the driver will be more than happy to tell you where to get off the bus :)
So what you can see at Temple Street? Obviously "Tin Hau Temple", otherwise it won't name it as Temple Street... hehe.. other than that, you can see in the picture it's very famous coz of the night life. I would suggest you to make a visit to Mido Cafe for a late afternoon tea, then you can experience Temple Street before and after sun set.

You can't miss Mido Cafe if you go to Temple Street, because not many of these old style cafes left in HK now. Although prices have gone up a little bit coz too many TV programmes have filmed or interviewed the owner, many people go and imagine what kind of life was living in the 50s.. haha.. Must order Baked Pork Chop Rice, Red Beans Ice when you get there, they're the specialties of this cafe.
After that, you can walk around the street. They sell a lot of stuff including clothings, toys, handcrafts, accessories, etc. Quite similar to a flea market but watch out, prices might not be as cheap as you think especially if they know you're from whole other countries. I think it's typical when you travel to any part of China.. hmm..

If you are not hungry yet, do walk around
and check out these fortune tellers. I can't tell who is the best coz I only believe in God but if you are curious to try, I think the best would be to look for whoever has the longest queue... haha...

After hours of walking, you may consider to eat at Temple Street as well, but try not to go in Summer time, the heat and humidity will definitely kill your appetite. Actually you would find that all restaurants there are packed with people, coz food there is not that expensive, Rice in a pot is very unique dish in HK, and you can have seafood dishes there as well. If you don't mind sitting in the crowd, it would be a nice experience.

Is it really meant to be?

Don't you feel sick and tired of 'Cold War'? Why people never learn to cherish what they have around them?  Do people always have to be the 'Winner' in a relationship?  Does it really matter?  Is that so important to some people?  What if that is the last thing you are going to say or that is the last time you are going to see that person?  Will you regret that? Or people simply don't care as they're just so proud and they rather die with their 'PRIDE'. I thought give it time, people will learn or at least realise how fortunate they are.  At least I've learnt from life, from others and from my own past experience.  When I see from the news there are couples quarrel and fight with each other, or even hurt each other.  I would ask a question 'Were they in love once?  There must be something between them to bring the two of them together.  But what makes them change and want to kill each other instead?  If they look back how they fell in love

Hoping for a Brand New Start

I used to love writing very much, I kept myself a diary and a blog on Friendster. Just forgot since when I have stopped writing, it's like suddenly something missing and I lost the ability to write non stop. I still remember I promised a friend (who's now my bf :p) I'll write 400 words about him in my blog, and it ended up 1000 words. That was me in the past, just give me a topic I can keep writing and writing. Sometimes, it's just a simple thought came through my mind and I would like to share with my friends. In the past 2 months, I felt like it's a turning point in my life. I was out of a job, feeling so lost and don't know what I could do. I felt like I've fallen down into a black hole and it's no ending. It was very scary indeed, actually I still feel the same until now. I've asked God for directions so many times and at one point I thought he has given up on me, simply because I'm still in the middle of nowhere. I know I shouldn't have

Lazzzzzzyyyyy...

Now I have all the time I can use but this freedom only makes me even more lazy than before. I just don't feel like to do anything or go anywhere. This is not a good sign at all. I've been to another 3 interviews in the past week, I thought we had a really good chat at that time but ended up I don't get any reply from them. What went wrong? I'm too old? I'm not good enough? My expected salary was too high? I would really appreciate if they could at least tell me what went wrong or why I was not qualified for the position. Then I could work on that and do better in my next interview. Sigh... now I'm really lost, what else I could do? Luckily, I'm still able to do private tuitoring for little kids. I've done that before and I should be able to pick that up now. Kids nowadays are so poor, parents start to push them to take different classes and hire tuitors to give them lessons almost everyday after school. Ironically, that makes me have a chanc
