Life without sambal belacan and char kuey tiao

3 weeks i never update my blogbusy to travel around, settle immigration and bank account stuff during weekend,and also dun have computer and internet access at home.


Life in HK:
talk bout food first, coz food stand an important place in every Hongkies heart. No matter how busy they are, no matter how tired they are,they are willing to travel far, take very long time to have a proper meal.But their food is not so healthy, for msian like me, i would say their food is too salty and oily. Furthermore they serve in very big portionwhich i can't finish it everytime... juz dun understand why i seldom see fatty on the road,Evri'm jealous coz i gain 2 kg in 3 weeks time here.
Hongkies are discipline and effecient. They are used to Q-up when taking public transport,buying stuff, waiting for food....They always finish their job on time, time is $$ for them, So punctuality is very important for them... even their light railcan reach a 99.96% on time. But sometime they are too aggresive, maybe the way they talkis not so polite.... juz feel that they like arguing.... haha
HK is surround with restaurant, coffee shop (char can teng), 7-11....it is very convinient, something i feel very impressive is i can find 5 7-11 shops within 10 minutes walk from my hostel. It is very crowded in town area,especially at nite. i'll put my thumb up for their public transport, convient, comfortable,and even environment friendly coz i never see black smoke come from bus,which is quite common in msia.



Life in China:
i stay at least 3 days a week in Shen Zhen, China. It is a totally different experiencefrom HK. I would say i much enjoy in China, coz it give me lots of culture shockseventhough we have the same colour skin and speak the sane language.
I'm a broke and poor trainee in HK, but when travel to China, i change to a loaded guy,coz my allowance is 5 times of their engineer salary. Thinking of getting a few mistress in china..hahaaaa...
Not dare to simply try their food in local shop... and totally won't consider bout those foodstall in road side. Coz the environment is so dirty, road is dusty,walking path is full with rubbish.... i would say local ppl here dun have the awareness boutcleanliness... throw rubbish and spit everywhere, even kids can shit in the middle of the road.their tap water cannot be drink coz got metal smell... every1 is drinking distilled water...Something i feel worry bout is my hair will drop and getting white coz drinking those distilled water according to a few victim from msia also... haha.. hope it won't happen to me.
Feel sorry and pity bout the local ppl here, have to survive in such environment. I have a chanceto visit a electronic factory which is 1 of my company supplier in Dong Guan, an industrial area near Guang Zhou....OMG... road is dusty, even can't see the sun coz covered by the smoke from factory...like smokehazard in msia which coz by the fire in indonesia. The air and water are poluted....i feel lagi shock is when i visit the factory...the operator there are suffer and their arenot protected when they operate some dangerous machine or chemical liquid. i can't tahan with the strong ammonia smell after 5 minutes in the factory... almost puke out! juz wonder howthose worker can tahan even without wearing mask for 10 hrs. (10 hrs is their normal working hr)
Their local ppl are just nice when they are off duty.... but i dun really like their workingattitude, lazy, not reponsible, calculative... are the impression that in my mind. Somethingi feel really disappoint is they have a double std when treating ppl, they are rude when talking with local ppl, shout a lot. But when they talk with ppl from oversea, they are justso nice and polite....
haha.. something funny in china oso, ppl like to horn when they are driving,is that kind of horn tat show ur anger which we did in msia, haha... maybe driver here got potntial to bcome musiciancoz they play symphony on the road everyday....



Now here is getting cold, around 15-20 degree celcius, i miss the spicy food, curry, roti canai....gonna used to the life without any malay and indian food....haha...
