I hate this life…
stabbing me with a knife…
losing my conscious self…
transforming to an evil elf…
the product rocks…
but the co. sucks…
near yet far…
good it is for both stars…
questions loom over my mind…
givin me bad headaches as a sign…
what has come over the jee onn we all know…
for he himself is seething so low…
pray tell someone please…
so i may return to jee onn in peace…

Seems like…

May 22nd, 2007 by onn2

How do I begin…hmm…

Well, I’m trying to get back on to my feet now. Seem happier as days go by. SLowly happening but it is happening. Weird…Maybe it was that night at Luna Bar! HAHAHA!!!

Seems to me as well like my de-motivation was like a virus, seems like I’m recovering BUT seems like Maria is infected…Seems like as an overall, is it really happening? Now that I think bout it, seems like everything has remained the same, no change. Am I right to say this? Seems like I’ve been lying to myself. Seems like I gotta end this lie and be for real - De-Motivated!

Seems true dun you guys think? Seems very true…

Seems like I am writing this blog entree without thought, just letting my hands type whatever that comes through my mind…

Seems I can’t understand myself on what the heck I’m trying to say.

Seems that it gets confusing more and more…

Seems very late now, 8.25pm…

Seems like I’m still at the office…which I am!!!

Seems like it is time to call it a day, a long day it had been. Lack of coffee it seems. Seems as though suddenly all I wanna emphasise in this entree is the word "seems"…

Seems like a life so beautiful, suddenly turned dark, but the sun will rise again, 2008, the darkness is nearing its end…

Seems like the sun’ll shine so brightly once again, disintegrating the darkness completely and providing hope once more for my coming new chapter in a new episode of a new life together…

Seems too good to be true, yet it is…

That time of year…

May 3rd, 2007 by onn2

Time flies so fast that it has been a year since the massive amount of my friends who were also my colleagues that resigned. The time has come once again now and the trend remains constant. I dare say it is the ONLY Consistency we’ve had!

When one does not appreciate the wonderful things he/she is having, once lost, will never be found…Unless through a spot of extremely great Luck, my company will Never Ever have a Team they once had. The Fellowship is breaking, and in this sense, no bloody Ring can save it from certain doom…

Gloomy things may seem but Happiness is also growing. In fact, this incident at present makes me happy for my friends who will no longer have to endure the suffering bullshit conveyed every single day! Haha! One of my Franchisees said I made it sound as if joining this company was like a terminal illness! Damn!!! Hahaha.

Happiness grows, last weekend

Persis

and I together with Helen & Herman went for our very first Survey on Wedding Packages during the Wedding expo @ Mid Valley. One session took 2 and a half hours!!! But at least we got valuable info. It will be our honour to invite many friends from our company for the biggest event of 2008! Hahaha!

More happy is looking forward to a short getaway to Genting in May. No theme parks, just plain relax and enjoy the cool breeze. Who knows, things might turn out beyond one’s expectations…

Let’s just see what happens…

April 18th, 2007 by onn2

As I refer to my friend’s blog, the demotivation atmosphere that is clearly and evidently increasing in the office has really put me into this state as I mentioned to the ‘big boss’ last week as the first time I had felt such a way in the 2 years and a few months since I joined the company. Is it my perseverance or am I plain dumb? both would be the answer. I recently received a news that further saddens me, yet happy in another way. I long for the day someone or some ppl knock some common sense into the heads of the ppl sitting up there. I have so many reasons to quit my job now, but why am i still there??? The answer is my Colleagues and clients. But if things are not improved and the situation worsens, not even they can stop the inevitable. I sound so important huh! haha. I got a few comments from my friends to get lost and go look for something that pays higher. But friendship is stronger than money to me. It is not that I dun make any money nor do i struggle to live, in fact, money is currently not a burden.

Perhaps one reason I still am here is because of what I believe in. Everyone has their own beliefs and principles. So do I, and what we work for is very much aligned to my principles, but if the ppl who manage the company preaches these principles but does the exact opposite, there’s nothing more I can say.

Having this devilish thoughts in me, I am so eager to see them get into shit, more shit, and shit that piles high and deep!!! I wonder how, I wonder when, I wonder why…

Let’s just see what happens………

Meanwhile, life sucks cause I need a holiday. hahaha! That hope seems to be coming true. Plannin a short getaway to the highlands of Uncle Lim, not for fun on the themepark but rather, enjoying the cool breeze, sipping the hot and tensed aroma of coffee while having a chat with my darling & friends, Just plain Relaxation…

Coming back to work after that and forseeing more trouble to come is on a very very high percentage of happening. Though that is my perception even now, let’s just see what happens…

My Colleagues…and ONE prick

March 28th, 2007 by onn2

Its amazing what I have just thought that I had to put it into my blog. I just realised how much potential there is in my fellow colleagues in the office. We have a good bonding with one another, we have a good relationship with all our clients, we can organise things that cater to their needs and increases their motivation, we can sing, we can have madness of fun, and the list goes on and on…

The EVOLUTION of the changes in the people recruited in my company began from my time. From the day they hired me, May and Chee Keet, our boss’s head became more and more painful! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! Things were as they were many years before our current batch. Yet things were kinda sour, from the constant feedback we got from our clients. Yet with this new batch, our clients had become more and More AND MORE motivated and happy! But why does it seem like our boss is not? Not only our boss but a few others up there? "CHANGE IS INEVITABLE"!!! That is not a assumption BUT a bloody FACT! I believe he can see it, but his mind is bound by a VERY tight leash of the ANCIENT practices he had done 25 years ago! Damn it, it is now 25 years down the road, from KL, u can hadly see any bloody birds flying up there, just concrete jungles, you can’t cross the road safely anymore, your children are becoming matured at a younger age, sex is famous, the ONLY way to SURVIVE is to ADAPT to these changes!

The biggest Event in our REGION hosted by US in KL in July! A great and fantastic opportunity. Such a big event, yet no news wutsoever till now even. EVEN when asked by our clients, the stories went around, not inside but i stress that it went AROUND the bush and all I could see were dumbfounded faces on our clients and on my colleagues as well. WTF man!!! The fate of our faces and image lie in our hands and we know NUTS at this moment…how wonderful!!!

He has time to go look around and see who’s on the MSN etc, when that precious time can be used to for example, RUN A COMPANY HELLO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!

Mother ******!!!!???!?!?!?@?#??!!!!

How weird that ONE prick can lead us to become prickless! A person with 25 over years in the business, but ends up polluting its vision and mission in Malaysia due to an extreme and selfish mind towards ONLY ONE thing, the FIGURE, Number of Customers we will get every month……Where has Quality gone? Wut happened to the Preaching he did at the beginning of the year about "Quality brings Quantity"?????

I hope to change our dooming fate together with my colleagues, but unless he changes, we can’t do shit! That is a fact cause he is the one in power.

"Frustration and Fatigue,

Why the hell are we so weak,

It is Peace we all seek,

Not war among those in need,

Wonder how long,

Wonder which song,

Is appropriate for this current life time,

When all he does is to see if we I.M,

I call out to my colleagues,

Not to worry & do not be weak,

As long as it benefits our vision,

Just Do It like Nike says in its action,

For we have each other,

Nothing can ever cause bother,

Fight for justice we can,

As long as we never let go of each other’s hands…"

Lucky we are in this Life

March 12th, 2007 by onn2

I had just recently returned from a Study Trip to Jakarta, the capitol of Indonesia. As Indonesia is now famous for its corruption and an unstable situation politically and in life itself, more so it is located at the "Ring of Fire", that can cause earthquakes, volcanos and tsunamis. In fact, the day before we departed for Jakarta, there was a shattering earthquake in Western Sumatra, so powerful, even it was felt by the residents in KL, JB & Singapore! Thankfully, Jakarta was not affected.

Reason I brought this up was the, I would say, "Fortunate" incident that occured in Jakarta. We were all happily having lunch and a discussion in the Jakarta office when suddenly a man’s voice over the loud speaker requested every one to evacuate the building at once, and not to panic…NOT TO PANIC?!?!?! how not to panic? The reason we were evacuating was because the Office building received a call saying that there was a BOMB in the building!!! We from the land of Malaysia had never experienced such an experience before in our entire lives! As everyone gathered at the parking lot behind the office building, we witnessed all the other tenants doing the same. Img_4189      

Img_4190 Img_4191

Img_4192_1

At that very moment, though triggered by such an alarm, I was composed, as I led our Instructors, safely away from the arms of death…Almost everyone was on their mobiles, trying to call home to their loved ones. In fact, 2 of them were told by their husbands to go straight to the airport and take the next flight home! The situation was further wounded by the very hot sun, with absolute NO trees around for shed. As our schedule was disrupted, we adjourned to the front of the building and took taxis back to the hotel. We then returned to our rooms while waiting for the next instructions.

I finally arrived in my own room, Img_4486

exhausted and tired due to the inflicting heat. As I slumped onto the chair, my composed self as I was earlier began to disintegrate quickly as a throng of thoughts flew past my mind. A lot of "What if?" questions mainly.

What if the bomb did go off?

What if there were no notifications and the bomb just went off all of a sudden?

What if while exiting the building, it went off?

Death, Havoc, Commotions, People going mad, People going nuts etc!!!

Thank GOD it was a false alarm…

I would not have seen my family,

I would not have seen my girlfriend,

I could have been stuck there,

I could have never step foot on Mother Earth again…

Those thoughts of mine were then put onto paper as I composed my next poem. Those who know me know that I express myself best through poems. More so it became an experience I could never ever forget. Pity I also felt for our Indonesian counterparts as they have to live in situation like this every single day!!!

At any time, a terrorist attack would come, at any time, an Earthquake could arise, at any time, anything unfortunate could happen. The last fact is true anywhere, but the possibilities are higher there.

The most tearful moment for me, one that truly touched my heart too much that after one look, I quickly turned my head away, unable to bear that sight. It was night, and it was like almost pitch dark on the roads, with no street lamps. At the traffic lights, we saw a young child carrying a younger baby in his arms walking toward the cars, begging for money or food. Even worse was there was another young child, about 2 years old, sleeping on the divider! Such a dangerous place and yet they do so, as they have no other way out, nor do they have any other ways to survive…

All I want to say is I am now sincerely glad to stay in a country or home we all call Malaysia. Yes, there are poilitical fights, the roads are not safe, and our salary is not so good. BUT

we are still alive,

we can still make a living,

we do not have to beg to that extent,

our air is not that polluted,

our lives are better

we are safer, considerablly…

To be honest, I actually am now more motivated to help achieve my company’s ultimate vision, that is World Peace. A big one indeed but NOT impossible. I want everyone to be able to "Live a Life"…

The Final Countdown, Hong Kong, I will MISS you!

February 9th, 2007 by onn2

As the seconds of the clock tick away, I am closer to coming home to stay…

Back on Wednesday night, Dennis & I were given a dinner by our colleagues from Hong Kong. We went to this lavish Shanghai Restaurant that served Shanghai food. Most of the food except the Chinese Tea were new to me, especially in the way they cook it. One of it, by the way, was a dish with Fat Pork and some sort of Mantau in a shape of a Shell. You can actually open up the shell, put some vege or sauce inside and eat it. Quite a nice dish. Lucky the company paid, dinner for 4 came to a price over HK 700 dollars!!!07022007002

I managed to take a photo with the name of the station where we stay just before the train arrived. The station is called, "Wan Chai". 08022007

If you miss the train at one end, and start walking to the other end of the doorway, before you could reach halfway the next train arrives! It is so very efficient! haha! 

Yesterday morning, just after arriving at the office MTR at Sheung Wan, we saw a demonstration being held outside the Cosco Tower where our office was. They were protesting to re-build the old buildings in HK, so it won’t be totally extinct! 08022007001

After lunch however, while walking back, we stopped at this small shop, we saw this cute & fat Chow Chow. It was LITERALLY a door mat!!! He just sat at the door entrance, keeping the door open.08022007004

It was so cute, many who walked pass by would take a picture of it and pet it. Being a dog lover myself, how could I resist the temptation to pet it and quickly pulled out my camera phone for a pic with this cute dog!08022007002

Later that evening, after work, while walking back to take the bus, I managed to get a picture of this huge ship in the middle of the town!!!08022007005

Wondering why a big-ass ship is doing in the middle of Hong Kong?

And before sleep, almost everynight I would watch TVB, got hooked to one of the serials. In fact, I was lucky enough as tonight, Friday night is the final episode!!! haha! of course, after that I’d go online08022007006

and send a report back to office before calling it a night. Memories, sweet and tiring would be the taste left in my head and heart as we leave for our homeland tomorrow at 2.35pm.

What I can say is that I will most definitely miss this country, Hong Kong, a place with excellent weather (in winter only), and excellent food (non-halal) and also beautiful girls!!! Muahahaha!

But I look forward with utmost excitement as I meet the most Beautiful of them all as I arrive at the KL Sentral with her waiting to pick me up from there…Such a long period I have been away from home. Seeing couples and families in arms and laughter here in Hong Kong certainly makes me feel bloody jealous! Can’t wait to get home, into the arms of my darling, and to look forward to cleaning my house, in preparation for my favourite time of year, Chinese New Year!!!

Till then, this will be my final blog from Hong Kong. Mm Koi Sai!

I love you dear…

Home is where my Heart is…

February 6th, 2007 by onn2

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, 02022007 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 vehicleImg_3454

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 TessImg_3527.

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,31012007001 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…02022007003

02022007005

Even my food was DAMN inviting!!! Cheese baked Macaroni with Beef slices…Damn CHEESY!!! *SLLLUUUUUUURPPPP*02022007006

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! 04022007001

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!05022007

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 hotel06022007003

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…

NOW That’s what I call a Holiday!!! Jee Onn’s guide to a 5D/4N trip to Hong Kong & Macau

January 29th, 2007 by onn2

Verdict: Indeed it had been a most exciting, humorous, wonderous and fabulous holiday!

From a disastrous start to 2007, this trip, 9 months in the making, was THE key point of change in my life! Tiring it was, but most definitely worth every damn cent, ringgit, & Hong Kong dollars spent! Without further ado, Welcome to Jee Onn’s guide to a 5D/4N trip to Hong Kong & Macau!!!

Items: Cash (Hong Kong dollars & some Ringgit for food mainly). For all other items, please ensure you have sufficient credit on your credit card. Will come in handy as you will swipe aplenty!

Let us begin…

9 months ago, our colleague approached us to ask if we were interested in going for a holiday 9 months later to Hong Kong & Macau. As it involved a commitment and cash in advanced, we planned, thought and finally agreed! Man was it a bargain, (return flight + accomodation for 4 nights = approx RM1000 per person only). So we planned, and just waited patiently. Finally, 24th of Januaryt 2007, we took off. Took the Skybus from KL Sentral to LCCT. As usual, the crowd at the LCCT was great, waited quite a long time at the terminal gate, whilst having a bunch of tourists from mainland China who uttered words loudly, words even more alienated to myself! haha! As Air Asia is a budget airline, it would cost too much to fly into Hong Kong, therefore, we could fly as far as Macau only, WITH the 29 of these mainland tourists on the same flight…*cries*…They kept talking from the check-in counter all the way till we reached Macau as if it is re-living a scene from ‘Old Town PJ Wet Market’! wtf!

Anyway, we departed at about 3.45pm, half hour delay. flight took bout 3 & a half hours! We were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunset scenery view from the window of the Airbus. Dscn3272

Dscn3273

A few hours later we began to decsent into Macau International Airport, with the view of Casino’s lighted up in view. As the plane came to a halt, the announcer said, "the temperature is now 14 degress celcius". I was like what?!?! Cause I have never experienced any weather colder than of ours in Camerons or Genting. So as I walked out of the plane, the wind hit me strong! I was like, "WAHLAU!!!" Walked into the terminal building and instantly out on my jacket! Customs was a breeze so we headed straight for a taxi to the Ferry terminal. Quickly bought the tickets and boarded the ‘First Ferry’ to Hong Kong, a ferry that can carry over 400 passengers. The trip would take an hour. Boy was it a tough hour to pass by! after half an hour, I started feeling a little uncomfortable. The ferry was hitting large waves due to the strong winds, I held on and held on and finally we reached Tsim Tsa Tsui ferry terminal. I was desperate for flat & stable land, one that would not move! sigh…what an experience. So, we got onto a taxi and headed for Mongkok, the most densed populated city in the world! We were going to a street called, "Jalan Kicap" or "Soy Street". I had and still have a hard time to pronounce it properly in Cantonese as when I say it, it literally means, "Soy Sauce Prostitute"!!! 27012007012

T’was 10pm when we finally checked-in and I had to lie down for 5 minutes……..5 minutes later, I was all up and ready for food! So we strolled down Mongkok. With so many food stalls, one will find it hard to resist as everytime you pass a shop, your nose can strongly taste the aroma of the noodles, meat etc! We were looking for wanton mee. We found our shop, went in and sat down. It was cramped and small as most are in Hong Kong due to space constraints. So we ordered 4 small bowls of Wanton Noodles. It looked small and harmless but it was extremely filling! They had 4 large Wantons that were filled with pork and prawn! It was damn delicious! 24012007002_1

We then proceeded to stroll around Mongkok, seeing how night life is over there. It’s like the night never ends. One more food was in my mind. That was the "Curry Fish Ball". We found a good stall as my friends are like experts of this country, they know best! One stick had 6 balls, costing HK6.00. A fantastic savoury especially in winter when it was so cold! The perfect food to heat things up though my dear had a little problem handling the spice! hehehe. As we walked more, we found none other than McDonald’s. Only diff is they have what I term the "Babi Burger"! We took a look inside and they even have a McCafe! This is like a Coffee Bean for McDonald’s, serving Lattes, Long Blacks etc. 24012007011


25th January - Day 2

This was going to be a long day as we would be going to Disneyland Hong Kong!!!
Before that, of course we had to have breakfast. Went to a normal coffee shop and ordered a set. I have to say, Hong Kong serves FANTASTIC COFFEE!!! I ordered my favourite, "Chai Feh" or "Kopi O Kosong". Absolutely strong, aromatic, bold and delicious!!!25012007

There was a special designed MTR train that went only to Disneyland itself, the theme for this train was a good one! It even had statues of the famous characters in the train as well.Dscn3277

Though it is the smallest Disneyland in the world, one whole day just wasn’t enough for us! We only got to ride each ride once only. Anyway, the park was divided into 4: Main Street USA, Adventure Land, Fantasy Land & Tomorrow Land. It was a thrilling experience for my very first Disneyland!!! The entrance itself was good enough to lure anyone in! Dscn3290

Dscn3297

These guys were making great music with Rubbish! haha…Dscn3329

I stopped a while to take a pee, too much coffee…Dscn3326

They had a variety of statues and castles to parades, stage shows and 3D performances, it certainly lives up to its name!Dscn3398

Dscn3389

Dscn3404

Dscn3423

They even had magnificent nature, extremely Beautiful crystal & porcelain figures & the MUST SEE Fireworks at 7pm!
Dscn3453

Dscn3488

Dscn3491

Dscn3476

This is my personal favourite gift I bought from Disneyland:
Dscn3759

To tell the story would be too long, therefore I can only say one thing, experience it yourself and you WILL know how great it will be…

At night we walked down the aisle of the Avenue of Stars, and my two favourite were Jet-Li’s start and a Bronze statue of the Legendary "Little Dragon" Bruce Lee.Dscn3546

Dscn3525

26th January - Day 3

The 3rd Day was what I call the day of the mountains & peaks. Our first agenda was to take a train to Lantau Island, to the last station where we got off and onto the Ngong Ping Skyrail, the longest Cable Car in Asia if I’m not mistakened! It connects the station that goes over the ocean between 2 islands, and through the top of a few mountains as we go higher and higher and right up to the top of Nong Ping Village. There even is a track for Mountain Climbing enthusiasts to take the very challenging task of climbing up instead. Believe it or not, for Feng Shui fanatics, some even buried their ancestors on the top of the mountains as we saw while going up in the cable car. Though it is a wonder how they got it up there, it was just marvelous.Dscn3554

Dscn3565

Dscn3569

Dscn3573
Dscn3579

Dscn3585

So, the next task was to have the famous vegetarian lunch at the Po Lin Monastery at the foot of the world’s largest Buddha.Dscn3619

Dscn3626

The view from the bottom of the steps that are more than our very own Batu Caves. It has over 300 steps to climb. So what I did was climb, then rest and shoot some pics, then continue, till we reached the top! haha. The view from the top was simply majestic! Inside the Buddha is a museum AND a resting place for the loved ones who were cremated, especially those into Feng Shui as this was the Best place for it. And on the Best part of this location laid the remains of the late Anita Mui and flowers + msgs from her adoring fans. We had a monute of silence then as she was indeed a GREAT actor!Dscn3638

Dscn3674

Dscn3663

We had not much choice but to hug each other tightly to capture this picture as the temperature up there was at 9 degress celcius!!!Dscn3671

Right after descending, we went straight to the last spot, the Wisdom Path…
Along the way there were Tea Trees planted that gave us an aroma of tea itself as we passed that particular track. We then reached the Wisdom Path after a 15 minute walk. This place was the 2nd highest peak in Hong Kong! The wooden huge sticks have words of wisdom in it, hence the name, "Wisdom Path". A lovely place, even lovelier for those into cameras, a haven to snap here, there & everywhere.Dscn3688

Dscn3695

It was getting late then, had to rush back before the last cable car descends.
It was THAT COLD!!!26012007010

Made it naturally, and headed back to Hong Kong Island for our final trip for the day, another peak to reach, one that we both missed dearly when we first came to Hong Kong in 2005, it is none other than Victoria’s Peak.

Here’s a look at the bottom of the Peak Tram. This is one tram that had been operating since the 19th century!!! and is pulled by a single cable since! Magnificent.  It practically just goes up all the way…Dscn3697

Dscn3743

Dscn3750

Well, Victoria’s Peak is simply heaven for the romantic ones. It is quiet, windy, has an absolutely beautiful scenery of Hong Kong itself and you gotta be there to feel it all riding up that high feeling!!! One thing though, the temperature was about 7 degress!Dscn3713

Dscn3728

We couldn’t wait till we got down hill, so we had dinner up there, at McDonald’s! At alst, I could get myself the taste of "Babi Burger"!!! It was the "Grilled Curry Pork Burger" that came with Wedges (a lot of them) and a soft drink. However, I opted to change my soft drink to a hot one! Tak tahan liao!!! The burger was just fabulous! My first McD’s pork burger!!!Dscn3734

Well, I believe the 4 of us were very happy with our achievement for the day. How many would be able to be at 2 mountains in the same day! Yeah man!!!

27th January - 4th Day

(to be continued, 2.30am already…sleepy…)

From start till end,
No frills, no grills,
Time used as we wish,
Ensuring we have all of it including the Portugese fish,
Not even the intense movements my stomach it occured,
During the Ferry trip to & fro HK & Macau I so nearly blurtted,
Nevertheless, a picture is worth a thousand words they say,
My camera’s memory ran out with 626 pictures taken in all ways,
No regret, No fret,
Money used like a waterfall we met,
More so did I swap my credit card,
One too many times I am afraid it could be barred,
I am so tired, I slept throughout the day after returning,
So glad I took leave if not I will be fainting,
All fresh and geared up,
For a new year ahead, "What’s Up!!!"
