Hello! I just got back from Shen Zhen - Macau - Hong Kong trip (i was back like 2 months ago). Why? yes, because after that trip my Bosses suddenly got too carried away with work. In the end we were made to slave ourselves until we are exhausted. That's why, I'm thinking to quit and find another job, with better paid (of course). I'm tired of being overused by the current employer (doesn't all employer do that? exploiting their workers).
Anyway, above all... I just want to share my feelings a bit to get a bit relieve from this stress.
So... What's new? Yap, I just bought a new iPod Shuffle 4th Generation. Colour: Black. Capacity: 2 GB. Ability: Makes me more happier when listening to my favorite music. HA HA HA!!!
I will tell you about my trip with office friends including our Bosses. Aside from my current relationship at the office, I tried to enjoy this trip without even bother thinking what will happen after this trip a.k.a workloads which was already happened.
So, we flew with Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong from Jakarta. It was 4 hours trip with a very comfortable plane. We landed in Hong Kong and meet with someone whom will escort us to Shen Zhen. We took a bus from the airport and transfer to the bus and then with Ferry boat to Shen Zhen. We met our guide, He'll guide us to Window of the World in Shen Zhen. Maybe I'll have to remind you, other than Window of the World trip, the rest of the place that this China guy took us was rather unpleasant: Giok Shop and Medicine Shop. Both was the place where they forced us (explicitly) to buy something or else they mocked us with China language (oh, yes they did it and offended me in their way). Well, that doesn't mean that I hate Chinese people, I still like their way of life and the culture though. Anyway, we're done some shopping in Shen Zhen, near our hotel, there was a shopping center. I got some steel chopsticks and an earphone there, that's good... at least I've got something useful. And then we moved to see some show, somewhere (forgot the place). We had had dinner before and then on to the show. The show is amazing and very interesting, Chinese people sure is skillful and very culture, nice job. At night, we're back to the hotel and rest a bit. My friends were dragged me along to hang out a while and see Shen Zhen at nighttime. The people in here, never tired of looking of fortune for their lives. They work like they're breathing, everyday. One thing that makes we respect them, they are discipline. That's why, i think their value of time is exemplary to every human in the world.
The next day, we're moved to our next destination. Macau. We were travelled by a bus and then continue our journey with a Ferry boat. After we arrived, we got another tour guide to show us Macau. Macau is a small place, but the place is very beautiful. The feelings of European in Asia is Macau, for me. We got a much better guide here, He always smile and know what was he doing. He took us to an old church (it's very famous), St. Peter the name... i forgot. We ate some egg tart, almond cake, chocolate, and other delicious food in Macau. We had seen so much here and of course took so many good pictures here. I love Macau very much. We were visiting The Venetian too, I saw an amazing mall and casino inside of the building, we got to see around for a while until dinnertime. At night, we had had dinner near the city and then we tried to gamble in Casino Lisboa. We tried Russian Roulette and Big&Small table, sometimes we lost, sometimes we won. Although I didn't get the chance to try other gamble with machine, I had fun. What an experience, something that couldn't find in my own country. I thought, Macau is better than Shen Zhen (only my opinion, maybe because Shen Zhen's tour guide was sucks?)
The next morning, we left Macau with happy face. Couldn't wait when can I go to Macau again (we all do, thinking the same thought). Anyway, that day was the last day, and it was time to explore Hong Kong, our last stop. Hong Kong city is very lively, so many people lives there and so many buildings around too. So, even the weather was hot, we were comfortable walking around the city. Anyway, we were gone to shopping (again) in the city called Yau Ma Tei. MRT was very functional and effective, remembering our tight schedule on that day. So, here we were... shopping.
We're gone home, at last. Safe and sound. Tired but fun. It was just some days we were gone abroad and enjoy this life a little bit, but those days gave us nice memories. Some days in September to be remembered.
Ciao!
