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”.

Thank You
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.

Thank you Shingo T, you’re one awesome friend! Seriously, this world need more people like you – kind and thoughtful.

The Great Traveller
I have never seen any one with proper planning for 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.

In comparison I avoid all that. I’m like busy, busy, busy than grab my bag board the plane, off I go. I did not have any expectation nor direction. Lucky for me I read MKL Macao post – so I have some idea now.

To Do List

One, My friend Jimmy in Singapore want me to get him Hard Rock Cafe Tshirt. Two, every one else ask me to taste the Portuguese egg tart and my friend Dennis request that I “tapao” for him. 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, maybe I’ll buy tripod in China.

In the Plane

I enjoy this flight more than any other flight, it feels like home. About 60% of the passenger are Chinese Hakka and it so special to travel with majority are speaking Hakka.

Hakka
Chinese Hakka love to talk, They asks if you drink enough water before you board the plane, talk about prayer at Buddhist temple, talk about singing, checking on arrival time, they laugh/talk really loud, talk about shower and etc… all in the plane.

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.

Your Travel Stuffs
I have 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 should start tracking, 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!

Macao here I come! Happy Holiday, Yay!!!
