Yesterday, something came up to my mind. The image when I was about 5 or 6 years old (can't really remember), my first time going overseas, although it was only Thailand. I was having dinner in the 5-room flat and there was a balcony. There's a door to the balcony and the dining table was beside it. And I sat at the chair nearest to the door and was having my dinner. Then, i was so excited about taking the plane and unknowingly how I fell to the floor and almost knocked onto the door. I still remember my mum saying, luckily you didn't hit the door; if not, you will be going to the hospital, not the airport. haha.
Thinking back at this, its really funny coz I was so excited about taking the plane that I fell off the chair.
But for now, I don't really like taking the plane coz whenever it was taking off and landing, my ears will get really painful. But I still love traveling overseas esp Hong Kong coz can do lotsa shopping and eating.
The sad thing is I can't speak nor understand Cantonese. And still remember my last trip to Hong Kong in December 2006, we arrived at the airport and were having lunch at the airport in a 烧腊 shop and a man came over and ask me something in Cantonese pointing to the chair. Not sure of what's he talking, I told him in English that there's people sitting.
The man asked again...then I was like nodding my head (meaning yes, there's people sitting). But the man just dragged the chair away. Then I was like 'Oh, the man is asking whether he can take the chair'. Then no choice, went to some other table to get another chair.
I shall tell you guys something that is rather scary and funny at the same time, I should say. On the second day, we went to the Disneyland and when it was night time, we went to 'The Bakery' (the shop's name) to get something to fill our stomach coz was damn hungry and the 'show' (christmas season celebration) was starting soon. In 'The Bakery', we were queing up and I saw pizza and told my mum to get me the pizza and the strawbery jelly. Then I saw someone standing in front of me looking rather familiar. When it was her turn, I saw her side view; to my surprise, it was my English teacher. Then was like omg, I can even bump into a teacher in such a place like Disneyland, somemore its in Hongkong. For the rest of the day, I was still pondering over that...and I think i got the conclusion that this world can be rather small at times.
I was here at 12:01 PM
