Last drop of smell

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:54:00 +0000

Is seem just a bottle of perfume like others, to me this perfume is meaning something. I not sure whether you will read my post, beside the heart signs you send on the "F" web page, we have nothing in connection anymore after the fullstops of our relationship since one an half year ago.

I still keeping this special meaning gift by you even after that, the perfume is apart of our happy moment being together last time, I am remember you giving this to me during starting your new job at design company, you told me that you own one bottle too, said that is "our smell", so even we unable meet each other everyday, but the smell will keep attached each other make feeling like being together. On that time, I found it the sweet is filling my heart.

I always thought our relationship can stand longer as other, but maybe that will be only in my dream. Time can change someone mind, now I don't hate you anymore on what happening in our islands trip. Perhaps, my mind is getting blurry about you, nothing left beside this bottle of perfume. Finally, the last drop of smell has gone from the bottle, is time you be apart of my history...

Hong Kong's short living

noreply@blogger.com (calgraden) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 05:53:00 +0000

The plane landing on 1.30 am, Wednesday morning. I am ending up my short living at Hong Kong and back home.

Being living at piece of tiny lands with seven million population, less space and privacy, will be my is one of the priceless experience, like living at a space less room with bathroom which only nearly about 10"X 6". Because on the tiny space, I got awake by early "naughty morning call" with knocking sound from next room, that's totally alive and so clear until I able to counting how much time the lover spending play on the "naughty fight".

Is not easy working and living here, Hong Kong's people get double of income than what I got, but don't be invidiousness on it, because living cost here seem double on it too comparing my home land. Having a meal cost HKD26 to 35 with drinks, which the lower budget meal at this city, while I paid only RM7.00 (HKD15) per meal at home land.

Petrol at Hong Kong selling for HKD13.87 per litre. car in Hong Kong is a daily luxury item, driving by own car in this tiny busy traffic land is really burning the wallet. So, taking taxi or MTR is one of the good choice for local people. I guess I will love my old car much from now.

Shopping at Hong Kong is the most crazy experience I had specially during department store warehouse sales, most the luxury price item will drop to good price get afford it. Hong Kong's economic crisis seem effective badly plus the H1N1 flu now make most the department store and retails clearing up the stocks and keep the cash flow.

Beside working, I think I am really bring my self into Hong Kong's local daily life. I choose living at local community area, went to fresh market and local cafes for my foods and meals. Shopping at warehouse sales which only local will know, crazy buying discount items as much as local people, visit around by taking buses, tram and star ferries crossing between Hong Kong islands and Kowloon.

Human need to living in group sometime, so do I. I get meet few Hong Kong friends during the short living, must thank you for them to bring me explorer the hidden side of this metropolitan city. Without them my trip won't be so fun and joy full, I will never discovery so much on this city without their direction.

A life in Hong Kong

Dear Ms. J,
Went to M.J store this evening, basically nothing much choice for Special Item, only left some unwanted plastic sandal, fake stone rings and very "Mickey" bags which we seem before.

By the way, can't take any pictures for the items, because the sales girl keep following me like a I am a piece of meat.

Time: half an hour. Cost: four digits from my wallet. Joys: priceless.

I was mark it the final check to my packing and gadgets ready for my next trip. While I am checking my Fuji "baby", "FxxK"! my "baby" showing me in green with purple error image on live view panel, the CCD problem of my "baby" is evil me again.

It is not a first time my "baby" get "sick", I still remember that after a year bought it, my brand new "baby" already had CCD problem, as well same problem happening for other models too. Fujifilm has recall their products to fixing for free of cost. But, I send it my "baby" back to Fujifilm they cost me RM350, because they said my model is not on the list.

Nowday the DSRL is getting affordable, will pointless if I send it my old "baby" which only got 3.2 MB and cost me another 3 digits amount to fix it. So I make a decision to having a new relationship with this loving hotties Nikon "baby".

Sorry, Fuji "baby". We can't being together anymore, let's break out and move on baby!

After few hour closing up with wild monkeys and enjoying the forest spa, is almost noon time, I am can't wait to trying on the Ubud's must try dishes, the sucking pig at Ibu Oka which located not far from the Ubud main street.

The Ibu Oka sucking pig with rice

The sucking pig at Ubud is seem look like Chinese style BBQ pig, after trying a few bites, the taste is not that good like what I am expected, maybe I not a big fans of Balinese foods, I am still prefer the food with strong favor taste.

You never get lost at Ubud...
