I went to HK last July to get trainning. When I wasn't at the office in Central, I was exploring the city, eating and window shopping with AnYan. It's an interesting city where EVERYTHING is on top of each other, more so than any other city I've visited-with serious signage and space overload.
The double-decker buses and the intense signage were overwhelmingly amazing.I was wondering if the double-decker buses don't crash into the signs above then if the signage ever falls off the building because they are just THAT many.
I've been there a handful of times over the last 10 years but it was completely different feeling coming from Shanghai. It made me realize how different Shanghai's dynamic is compared to both HK and London. The allure of ads and shops in HK and NYC screams YOU NEED TO BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO BE SOMEONE but in Shanghai I really don't get this feeling (or maybe the ads and shops aren't doing a good job attracting me). But I've noticed people around me could care less what Im wearing, what designer, and where I go eat my meals, shop,etc. Of course when I dress better to go to pricey-er establishment,I receive more attention like anywhere else...
But the pressure to be a certain way, dress a certain way, shop a certain place isn't here--or I haven't felt it calling me. (Don't worry, I haven't become totally reckless to the point where I put on same unwashed clothes day after day...although the thought appeals to my laziness right now...) It's a liberating feeling and it made me miss Shanghai for the first time. After three days in HK, I was ready to return home with training accomplishment in hand.
And for you guys who go through this trainning process periodically, you know my joy when I say I got my certificate! No tranning paperwork to deal with for a while.
During H1N1, when I was sitting in KA airline stopping in SH, I was greeted by men covered head to toe ready zap me with their fever gun.
This is my 2nd blog. I just write something different from Sina blog. Actually, it is in English.

Impersonate someone, maybe good?
When I was deciding to improve my English, I use lots ways. Like language exchange with Karen or Wanhing, write English blog and listen English news and dramas.
I think all what I've done is in Chinglish. So I figure a way to write down something here to follow someone else.Just like a Dad or Mom teaches you how to speak.

Hold back emotion
Is it easy for you to imitate somebody? Someone who you may not know well.
I watched youtube last day and there was an interview that something about ideal model. Some of local stars were interviewed that they all admit that their acts must influence/affect their fans.
Ideal model sometimes is not good job because they have to live the way on others request,instead of being on their own. Acting like actor or actress in a drama when they are in normal life.
Im a fan of one of them and I really look forward to follow the way my ideal model.

my follower
Before I having Twitter weeks ago, I did feel confused about the follower and the following. Later, I have been a follower of Jeanette Aw. For normal peoples twitter pages, they still have the two function. So as a result, they are just friends list.
I start this blog for English writing, it does give me a feeling that Im kinda English speaker altough what I wrote is all Chinglish. Besides, I love this font.My friend Lindsay linked with me that makes me so happy that check her blogs. Internet is amazing.
Can't imagine how the information would go if internet disappears.
