It's been a while.....

My mood & energy level have been really ups & downs as my work has taken toll on me badly. But in the midst of it, my brain was functioning, yet, I got no momentum to write or share. In the light of pre-weekend, I would like to write something, and I do hope, maybe some of you, who do check on me at times.....whatever I am going to say, well, I got no idea what I am going to say....would give u a smile or some lightning in your psyche.

First, I want to talk about HK. HK has been rioting about an education implementation - I assume it's rgd implementing national (china) education within our system. I dont have much problem with it.....but somehow most HK pple are afraid it's going to brainwash their kids. My question to them is......have they already been brainwashed!? Have they even taken the time to read the kids books nowadays? I dont understand why it's a problem....with the advancement of internet....no one is blocking us to compare notes. Though, I also wonder the standard of teachers nowadays......it depends how they educate the material. E.g. Japan wud teach the nationals (correct me if I am wrong) - Japan didnt commit bad mistakes during world war 2, etc.....(sorry, I am bad with history) - yet, I dont see most japanese deny it but it's just taboo to talk about it.

I actually support instilling some national education in us.....we sometimes dont even know who we are....the mockery is that they say " we are Honkie, We are not chinese", this kinda broadcast is worst than denial in history. We have no identity for so many decades, so we are lost. We are more so lost......it's fine to stand up against a system, a govt, I believe, but to deny one's identity - making the battle we fight shrink down to nothingness.

I feel fearful for our gen - 1. we have no identity, 2. we dont have wisdom & experience to govern even a company...at times.....I hvnt met many...I met maybe a handful wise people in HK, however, when I was working in china for just 1 year, at least, I met couple of very intelligent, wise, kind local chinese. I was deeply impressed......and vice versa, I know they were deeply impressed by me, as frankly - most chinese in mainland know what HK pple are made of.

Anyhows, whatever they have been doing lately, to me, it's just Rah Rah. We have become a Rah Rah city....what a shame, a rah rah city with no identity.....no wonder, somewhat I feel we are a pseudo sin city.......I hope I am an artist, so I could paint my image of HK on a canvas.

OK, talk abit about myself. Yes work.....tiring, crazy, squeezeful, stressful, making me breathless at times, and I can say, I have given my life to this company just for a decent salary. This is how we live....sadly....in a cosmopolitan city. But I know myself well, the notion is....if I can hide in a quiet village, having butterflies flying around me, hearing birds singing in the morning, sitting next to the little pond sipping coffee or just jumping into the sea, which is 5 steps from my home - yup seems supberb and heaven;y but I am a city gal....so this is my life and I am not going to complain about it.

And so.....what I feel excited about lately. First, re-decorating my home by buying some vintage CHANEL cut-out from old magazines from the States, I am going to mount them. yes, including my fren's kid & sis kids pictures....I am going to mount them. And then, I removed my sofa, donating to a church grp which would send off all the used furniture to kids in Africa....in replacement, I am going to make an arabic corner.....stuff like that takes time to collect and assemble, but these already male my days filled w excitement and imagination. 

While, I have always dedicated to change the world by my little way, esp when pple are rah rah outside, I feel - unlike what they yell nowadays - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR CITY!?!? I would like to ask them silently - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOURSELF AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU!? It's just a MLM (multi-level marketing) concept, if U change 1 person, in term U can change another 3. It's just a math.....HK people just want to change everything overnight, yet, we dont have the inner temperament to do so....wisdom, endurance....so, as for me, I am going to keep being myself. Changing world in my most effective way - people around me. Instill them the right attitude towards looking at one thing.....

I always like Bruce Wayne.....my dark knight.....non pretensious, dark, hv his own means & ways.......to change whatever he can.....accept & learn to know something is beyond him....just love Chris Nolan's depiction of Dark Knight.

Having all these BS, I come to think....it's great HK now has division, 2 groups...it's wonderful actually. One side is like me.....finding them stupid, the other side finds us ignorance indifference.....hehe, how one grows is by pruning, by arguing (internally or externally), by hving fever (so U can grow tall).............

Enough said, I think I am going to get a lomo camera....I want to capture the pseudo Sin city soon.:)

Have a great weekend.

  1. I actually have a lot of similar thoughts. Especially the part about HK's own identity. Seriously, they expect the best of all worlds all the time. When China tries to impose national education, the Hkies distance themselves from the Chinese - thinking they are smarter and better in every way... When HK is being bullied ie Daoyu Islands, they call on the mother country to back up and protect HK from being bullied. HK is concerned about a weakened economy, and they never think about how they openly ostracise mainlanders crossing over too frequently. Just what do they want? They want ultimate freedom in every way with the best "mix" of politics, economics and education..
    Then there is the CE. Throughout the whole election period all they did was trash Tang. Then as the election day drew closer and they saw Leung with his tail between his legs, they start to panic and shift their votes to Tang (not that it mattered in the end cos the CE was elected by less than 001% of the HK population)!!
    As for the next generation (not ours) - if apocalypse doesnt come, they'll surely destroy this world with their attitude and mentality... It's more frightening than ever...

  2. I am 100% on board with you.....ie what I have been asking them....WHAT DO U WANT, MAN!?!?!?!?!?

    Let me set an anology......
    No one wants to eat shits, all want fine-dining (except me, I hate fine dining, and of coz I hate eating shits)....but the issue is everyone is eating normal food. Suddenly, we want fine dining, then they ask king, pls pls come and give me fine dining. King says OK, but U need to surrender to me. OK, no problem.....so, when they are eating fine dining all the time, they forget to even say thanks.....(this is biggest mistakes of human, never trufully thank - esp HK)......so King starts to demand thanks. Hey what do u think? King is a King, he can do whatever he wants. So we all protest, now I wannt fine dining but OK for normal food, and okok, we dont want fine dining anymore.........King grants, OK no more fine dining. So we start to feel normal food tastes like shits and so we protest saying U King what a fucking asshole, never care never do anything for us.....King then get fuse with anger and humiliation. And tell us....hey dudes, basically U didnt even toil to get the farms going, U didnt even do a thing....except eat. Now, U go eat shits la

  3. I think my logic always build upon fair, balance....I dont like seeing just mainland chinese in Lane crawford, trully......as I want to hear cantonese more often....it's true....becoz I live here, I speak cantonese, I want to hear cantonese, simple.

    Buttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

    I can freely go to China anytime I want, based on this humanity theory, I dont un why they cant come here.....haha....if they are very poor, they cant go anywhere, if I am very poor, I cant afford to ride a train to SZ

    OK, it's abit far fetched, but I got no clue what they are arguing about, except

    WE HAVE THE WORST RACIST MENTALITY AGAINST OUR OWN PEOPLE, WHO - IF THEY WISH, 1.3 Billion PEOPLE ARRIVE TO THIS LAND, we COULD SURELY SINK.....hahahahahaah

  4. I un the part about hearing Mandarin more frequently nowadays - but so long as they dont bother me I have no quams. The ugly truth is that HK is part of China. Or do they enjoy being governed by the Brits? Perhaps they do cos they get to have fine food and more freedom, but at the sacrifice of their own identity. Does HK need one? Or are they looking for one? Co if they were, they wouldnt be tearing down heritage sites around the territory to build yet another shopping-whopping mall..!! They dont want mainlanders here, thre dont wanna feel second to westerners, they dont have any heritage left, so who and what have HK ppl become? Xenophobic?

    Ya - am sure a lot of the mainlanders who come here are wealthy. You get some who are average of course. But the fact is, the HKies had been going to SZ for a whole decade before the RMB grew stronger than the HKD. And I wouldnt even start on what they were doing there most of the time.. So how could you complain about a reversed situation? Although you're right about the land not being able to hold the weight of a billion ppl - but you can detect the overtones and insinuations everywhere...

  5. my slight deviated suggestion was....if they wish...:)
    I dont think they really bother, most are actually flooding to europe, rather than here.....frankly.

    U r so rite abt - do they want to be yet again under another country? I dont want lorrrr...............I was glad it was, somewhat, so we learnt outside world faster, but the world has changed.....Chinese have wechat, the world has facebook.

    So ligten up....gosh, not that we could indeed govern a company, let alone a city. We are chinese, no doubt, I dont want to be pseudo british or american, only idiots want that. Simply.

    Rgd CE....I feel, I like him, finally we got someone who looks like a politician.....I dont care he is communist or wicked at heart, but....it's first step to have our own politic if only we could have more politicians. So, I hv nothing against him....except.....people, give him 1 year then trash him la
