Home is where my Heart is…
Imagine, right after returning from a tiring yet beautiful holiday trip to Hong Kong & Macau, and 2 days later you fly to Manila for work, and straight to Hong Kong AGAIN for work!!! I returned from my holiday on the 28th, and on the 31st I flew to Manila. Am now in Hong Kong, only returning to my homeland on the 10th, this coming Saturday. Hence the title of this blog, cause that’s exactly where it is…
The trip to Manila was a little torture. I was looking forward to it a lot, but in the end, my massive fatigue and a sore throat (that is still on-going now), really made me feel terrible. More so, the taxi driver in Manila kept breaking hard, nearly spilled wutever was inside me and deposit it into the taxi! Manila was like Jakarta, but better. The poverty there is great! The rich were filthy rich, the poor were very poor, especially at Mingthing Pangarap or known as Smokey Mountain,
we passed by and saw them living in the most dirty and horrendous conditions. Sad I felt but glad I live in Malaysia. Appreciate what you have now…
One of the main transport in Manila was this vehicle
Not many of my company’s clients’ pictures come into my blog, but I have to put this one. If every one had a mindset, heart and determination like her, our world WILL have peace. I present to you Ma. Teresa V. Santos or fondly known as Teacher Tess
.
Once you visit her centre and talk to her, you will know.
At night, we went to an ice-cream shop called "Cold Rock". You choose your flavour, then your fillings. they will then put your ice-cream onto a flat ice rock and add the fillings, then smash em up and campur,
like Rojak. Damn nice wei…
We had lunch at this place called "Burgo", like TGIF, American style. While waiting for lunch, there was a paper covering the table, and some crayons for us to draw…art…
Even my food was DAMN inviting!!! Cheese baked Macaroni with Beef slices…Damn CHEESY!!! *SLLLUUUUUUURPPPP*
Then, 3rd Feb, as 6 of my colleagues fly back home, Dennis & I flew further…for me, back to Hong Kong, with many familiar sights!
On the first day of work, we went to this Korean restaurant for lunch, I had the hot sizzling bowl of Beef Rice! The sizzling dish in a shape of a bowl, very tasty and delicious!!! But HK 45 dollars. haha!
And this evening, on the way back from work, I passed by this familiar sight in Mongkok, recognise it Dear? we stayed here jus over a week ago! hahaha, the Stanford hotel
Well, another 3 days to go…Persevere i have to…
After an experience of 2 countries, I do appreciate mine, and Home is definitely where the Heart is…
