Excited News

Can't imagine Stephen Fry's been invited to this year's Book Fair!!! Really start to think Hong Kong's a lovely place and not a "cultural desert"! Well, there's still a lot of non-sense going on in this city, but there is anywhere else in the world. (Although I wouldn't hold my hopes too high, you know this city changes at an unbelievable pace.)

My point is, most of the locals I met just go with whatever the mainstream is at that time. There is little diversity and I may just think of a good explanation, (or may be not?). Hong Kong is a consumer-driven world. I really don't know why people in Hong Kong like shopping so much that it seems shopping is their only hobby. So what motivates them to buy a certain product? The advertisements on the streets and malls and TV commercials starring pretty and famous artists. That's why you can see there's little creativity and diversity amongst us (cos people just follow the ads without thinking) and why we're branded as a "cultural desert".

However, I start to notice there're some activities been promoted by govt or some other bodies like this one with Stephen Fry, and other sports activities like rugby matches that have quite different taste to most of the Hongkongers. Although I think people wouldn't actually change their taste because of certain activities are in town, but at least people who have different taste in the first place have been acknowledged and been given space to cultivate their interests. That's all I want.

Enough fooling around

I started to lose focus of what I'm doing and wasting some precious time in my life. I should really have a realistic plan and start to DO stuffs rather than sitting at home and playing stupid games when not knowing what better to do. I need to take my life and my brain back!!!

Time is up (nearly)

My best friend has just left Australia for good today... Arghhhhh! Not that I missed her very much since I'm gonna see her soon anyway - but that reminded me I will be leaving soon, too. After 2 more weeks??? @_@!!! That's so depressing!!!

Although I don't really like my life here after graduation - it's empty, boring, monotonous... - I still miss my darling very much and couldn't bear to think leaving him alone. It is really a mixed feeling. On one side, I felt that my ability is deteriorating as I stays at home most of the time and did nothing. On the other side, I felt I've supported my darling just by staying & being with him.

I've bought the ticket and am packing my things now. It's a done deal. So maybe I should look for positive changes within me and within this relationship rather than whining and whinging the situation.

Still, I felt that time is nearly up when I think about my friend's finishing uni and now has left me. I started to reminisce my few years life here in Aust and it has much more good time than bad. I wouldn't be sure that I would return to the land in the future but it's a good life for me in Aust is all that matters.
