25th March 2010, 6pm, in a plane…

This is crazy. Im already on a plane to Macau and should be reach­ing in 3 hours and 45minutes!

I have been very busy ever since my mother-in-law passed away. I think every one of us did. We try to occupy our­selves with lot of activ­i­ties. The pain is still in every one heart and the med­i­cine we need right now is “busy”.

Shin­goT wrote a very touch­ing sto­ries about a girl name Lisa few month ago and I can’t help to share story of my beloved mother-in-law after read­ing his post. He later shared my com­ment to all his friends in his lat­est post with lot of lot of kind com­ments and encour­age­ment in return.

I thank you Shingo T, you’re one awe­some guy! (or uncle as every one call you? Hahaha) this world need more peo­ple like you, kind and thoughtful.

I have never seen any one with proper plan­ning before vaca­tion other than MKL. He basi­cally do his research, wrote some com­par­i­son than throw some imag­i­na­tion and if that not enough he even wrote in his/her per­spec­tive. How exciting!

I on the other hand, busy, busy, busy than grab my bag board the plane, off I go! I did not have any expec­ta­tion nor direc­tion. I am more like “sur­prise me! Hit me!” haha­haha I will not even know how Macau look like if I wasn’t read­ing MKL recent visit to Macau.

@Hardrock.com

It’s not quite true that I do not have direc­tion. One, my friend Jimmy in Sin­ga­pore already ask­ing me to get him Hard Rock Cafe Tshirt. Two, every one else ask me to taste the Por­tuguese egg tart for them and my friend Den­nis request that I “tapao” for him and send it right back to Kuch­ing. Three, lot of pho­tos! MKL was there last week and already miss­ing Macau? Wow!

I bought a total of 16gb of mem­o­ries for this trip! I am expect­ing spec­tac­u­lar and out of this world awe­some­ness from Macau, Hong Kong, Shen­Zhen and Dis­ney. I almost wanted to buy a new lens but I didn’t because I am sav­ing for my 407! I think I would get a tri­pod here.

While trav­el­ing I am still think­ing of busi­ness. Kind of shame when talk­ing to some busi­ness­men on board but I don’t have name card to give out.

I enjoy this flight more than any other flight, it feels like home! About 60% of the pas­sen­ger are Chi­nese Hakka and it so dif­fer­ent to travel with these com­mu­ni­ties. It feels like bring­ing our home trav­el­ing with us.

Chi­nese Hakka love to talk, no mat­ter where they go they will chat about water (have you drink enough water before you board the plane? Very health con­scious), chat about prayer at Bud­dhist tem­ple, invite peo­ple to sing! (every Hakka love to sing!), keep ask­ing about time (They dont under­stand eng­lish so I would trans­late), they laugh out loud (They are really happy peo­ple when they got to travel), talk about shower (Hakka peo­ple love to shower! They shower 3 times a day! Myself included when I am not working)

I was talk­ing to a Chi­nese Hakka bos recently and he is con­cern that the young Hakka gen­er­a­tion will not speak Hakka any more, most of us speak Man­darin on a daily basis. I would sug­gest par­ent should make it a habit speak­ing Hakka to their chil­dren or else Hakka lan­guage would be forgotten.

Here a ques­tion for you guys. Do you take note of how many times your belong­ing travel with you? Haha­haha I have this habit!

My Nike Air 360, Tis­sot watch, wind­breaker has been to Japan. My Mac­book, Hush Puppy bag, Canon D400, 70-200mm, kit lens, 50mm lens, lens fil­ters travel with me for the very first time! I think I like to ded­i­cate a page for my belong­ing of where have they been trav­el­ing! It would be awe­some! Wow, very orig­i­nal! I think I like to give them a title “have belong­ing will travel!” what do you think?

Now that my jour­ney has started I like to clear one myth, they said when you travel in group and by a tour guide you nor­mally would be force into pay­ing in all the places you go. Let us see how true!

Happy Hol­i­day, Yay!!!

    Sorry to hear the demise of your beloved MIL, got your link from Shingo T. Yeah stay busy to take the mind of and let nature takes its course as time will heal.

    “Have belong­ing will travel!” that’s a great idea as most have taken our per­sonal belong­ings for granted and its high time to show our grat­i­tude. Well I used to travel with my Asics shoes & my black Nike back­pack to many places both over­seas and local but never recorded how many times *haha* and only lately just bought a Nike Air Zoom Huarache 64. Oh your Mac and your Canon & lens are trav­el­ling with you on for the first time. Hope you have fun and happy click­ing away with your camera.

    About the extras on a tour group that depends on your tour pack­age. Some would have included most of the sight see­ing entrance tick­ets. Think the tour guide can­not force one to pay as its optional you have the right to refuse to join if its an extra. Happy tour­ing! tQ

      Hello Bananaz!

      Thank you so much for fol­low­ing the link from Shingo T’s blog.

      WOw wow wow! Nike Air Zoom Huarache 64 is so gor­geous! I am kinda out­dated on the new Nike stuffs. I bought my Nike in Japan 2 years ago in one of the biggest pre­mium shop and for the price I pay about RM300 — 350 it truly worth it! (The orig­i­nal price for the shoes was around 600)

      Talk­ing about my lap­top and cam­eras gears… it weight at least 5 — 6kg and I carry it on my Hush Puppy lap­top bag and my shoul­der is aching! hahahahah

      last but not least, the group tour­ing… those who have travel in group and with expe­ri­ence, what they said is true!

      You truly get conned on your way to almost every shop you go! even if you have thought you get conned on the first shop, you will still be conned on the sec­ond shop you visit later. *sign*

      Hey thanks for your long com­ment :) you’re awe­some! cheers!

    First of all, Happy Easter..(I real­ize you may not cel­e­brate this day)..but it’s a nice way to break in, ha. I offer my deep­est con­do­lences to your mother-in-law..she must of been a won­der­ful per­son. Some­times busy is ok, but it’s good to also reflect. Sounds like you have many sup­port­ive friends Nester and I can under­stand why.
    I rarely travel..and almost don’t know how to behave myself when I do so(lol)..anyway, I hope the restau­rant is going well and if you haven’t returned– my best to you on your trip.

    Hey Net­ster,
    haha, my Wifey has this lit­tle soft toy — a small furry bear, which we bought in Aus­tria dur­ing our honeymoon.

    And we always put it in the lug­gage every­time, so that she has some­thing to hug when on bed (other than myself).

    I always say that the bear is one lucky bear. We freed it from the hands of the evil retail owner, and it gets to see the world with us. =p

    Have a great trip, and look­ing for­ward to more Macau sto­ries and pics!
