Embarking onto a New journey..

All seems to be unbelievable, even when I am typing this in HK now... Can't believe that I have embarked on such an "adventurous" journey, given that I am the type who admires Lynn's courage and would not dare to do travelling alone..

"Scholar" leaving on a jet plane.. 

Chicken rice for lunch... not bad, seriously!

Everything seems to be so fast! I recalled registering for the course in March, and here I am, in HK!!

It has been quite a process of ups-and-downs with the Ministry giving late approval for the course, questioning the modules that I have opted to take, delay in paying the course fees (dunno if the payment has been made at this point of time!), lots of ding-dongs with the HRD about nitty gritty things.. And yes, I know the allowance is to defray the cost and not to cover it.. but well... ... things are as expensive in HK as in UK leh.... And of course, the whole big issue about accommodation!!

Mum said that maybe because she has been helping people to find rental rooms in SG, that's why there are people who are helping to find accommodation in HK! I guess that is what they call Kharma isn't it? I think my work as MSW helps to bring good kharma too!
In fact, I must say that I have been very very very (x infinity) to get connected with Mr Wu in HK. Where got such helpful people (except me) in SG?? Went all out to source for accommodation, receives me at the airport, brought me for dinner and intends to bring me around HK..

Dinner at Victoria Harbour Restaurant.. 


 And of course, managed to find temporary accomodation at Mr Choy and family's place.. Very nice place... Comparable to the 3-room HDB flat in SG. I guess it must be very very ex in HK..



 I think I will not bear to leave this place to my 10x smaller 1-room rental flat in early Sept!!!
