  • 4th and 5th May 2012

    These two dates are the most important date of my trip. The first day is to do the traditional thing and honors my grandfather. It wasn’t that hard which I mean the emotional part.. but it’s still heavy to endure the day. It began around 15.00 .. family and friends were gathering at our house. After a while we were driven to the place where we can do the stuffs. This is the first time that I’ve experienced the Chinese funeral. Family needs to dress in white, and wearing a headband with a red dot. My grandfather’s sons and daughters need to dress white too and also some traditional reed clothes. Friends can come to the funeral to condole us and give the last words to my grandfather. It finished at 21.30..we were driven to home to rest.

    The next day will be the cremation.. and it began at 8.00. We were gathering again.. and driven to the same place where we were yesterday. This day is to finished the traditional and really say the last words to my grandfather. This is the hardest part.. Even when I’m blogging now, I still feel the sadness in me. It reminds me how it was.. emotional heavy. This is like the other funerals that I’ve experienced. Walking around my grandfather to share the last words with him. Family and friends were crying.. even I was crying in my heart. I just couldn’t let my tears come out.. don’t know why. That wasn’t the hardest part.. it was right before we sent my grandfather to the cremation. We have a host that tells us what to do.. the part that the host tell us that the oldest son (my father) needs to come forward.. and lay his hand on a desk or table to say.. “father, rest in peace”..  On that moment I was broken.. Somehow my father’s feeling were connected to me.. his voice was struggling to say those words.. My tears came out.. I saw my father suffering.. too hard to tell. *snif*

    After the cremation we were driven to a restaurant to eat.. it calls in Chinese “hero dining” or something like that. It’s necessary because it means that we have said goodbye. Now it’s the time to live on.

    A few hours after the hero dining.. I can feel the family is relieved.. no more stress.. it’s a good ending and a new beginning of the next chapter.

    The first days in Hong Kong were to adapt the jetlag, fortunately I didn’t have to adapt so much. It went very smooth.. And luckily I have a few friends in Hong Kong to going out, otherwise I’ll be bored to death. Went a lot of shopping there.. bought some clothes etc..

    Ohh.. one thing I can’t adapt is my appetite.. I can’t ate a lot, just don’t feel so well to eat. I think it’s because the temperature. The temperature is between 25 and 32 degrees.. so HOT! But the food here is delicious, I won’t deny it. You can’t taste food like that in The Netherlands.. too bad!

    One thing that I can’t live without is INTERNET! :P haha.. on the first day I’ve bought a sim card prepaid with internet. It wasn’t expensive but when I’m at home.. unpacked the card, it didn’t suite my iphone. It was a normal sim card, not a micro sim. So I’ve draw the micro sim on the simcard and used the scissor. Luckily it works! Even when I’m in Hong Kong I feel somehow connected to The Netherlands.. feels nice thou =P I can also use the personal hotspot to use the internet on my netbook.. very handful!

    Today I’m leaving to Hong Kong. After what yesterday happened I wasn’t in the mood to travel. But I’ve to, so I stood up early to finish the things off. Yesterday I’ve also booked my train ticket to Brussel Zuid/Midi train station. Even there it went wrong, it was an online booking and you can print your own train ticket. After I’ve complete the payment the site got stuck. I didn’t received my train ticket through the mail, but the payment is done. So I’ve called the bastards to get it done.

    I left 30min earlier to make sure I won’t be late for the departure, luckily I was right. The usual NS train was late.. in the end I was just in time to catch my train. Such a hurry.. And my suitcase is acting weird, think the balance is not right. When I’m walking the suitcase swing from the left to right. So it was better not to drag but hold in your hands to walk.

    I was fully prepared for the long trip, got enough TVB series on my netbook. And also enough battery for my iphone hehe.. Right now I’m sitting in the train to blog this. In the train I was whatsapping and suddenly I didn’t received any message.. on that moment I know I was in Belgium. I wasn’t paying attention at all hehe..

    After a while when I arrived at Schiphol, it’s already late. Need to check in and I didn’t have dinner.. So I’ve dropped the luggage and went to Burger King to have a fast “dinner”. And my girlfriend came to Schiphol to say goodbye… =) *like*

    The trip to Hong Kong went well,.. the only thing I can tell you is that I was sitting next to two Thais guys. I think they were gays.. because they were “poking” each other and smiling lol.. But one thing! They didn’t touch me! =P In case that you were thinking haha.. and I know some of you will think like that..! =P 

    On the airplane I’ve watch a few TVB series.. so i have something to kill time.. not only eating and sleeping..  ^Oo^ After the arrival my parents went to pick me up and gave me the octopus card.

  • Hong Kong Trip 2012 Early Summer

    22th April 2012

    In this week I’ve booked a ticket to Hong Kong. It’s a cheap ticket where you have to take the train from Brussel to Amsterdam Schiphol. I’ve heard rumors about the train ticket. They said you can early pick up the train e-ticket. The day after you can travel on your own to Schiphol so you can the trip from Brussel to Schiphol. I’ve called the ticket service and have asked if I can pick up the train e-ticket 24 hours from the flight. They said to yes yes, that is possible..we are open from 9 am till 8pm.

    So on the 22th April 2012 I’ve driven to Brussel Zuid/Midi train station to pick up my ticket. When I got there I told them I’m here to pick up my train ticket and showed them my reference. On that moment they said to me: “No no..you cannot pickup your train ticket. We got a new model since 1st April. You can only pick up the train e-ticket 4 hours before the departure.” My reply was: But your colleague told me it was possible? She said: sorry, only pickup tomorrow after 1pm. After that I went to other guy and asked the same. He told me the same story. So in the end I’ve driven to Brussel for nothing.

  • Blogging again

    It's been a while since I've updated my blog.. I should do more blogging.. really, it's quite nice to shout all the things you can't easily say it. Thinking about it, when I feel unhappy.. I want to share it. This time, I feel some things are coming closer. The closer it is, the more unhappier I will be. Life a simple thing, you can live very complicated.. but life is life. If something happend, we "the human being" can't do much about it. You can only watch it happen, powerless feeling will crawling in your veins. The situation will throw you into the reality, you wish you are dreaming. After al this, when things are settled down.. it will only be a memory. People need to live on.. so please enjoy every moment!

  • Eminem ft Rihanna - Love the way you lie

    Just gonna stand there
    And watch me burn
    But that's alright
    Because I like
    The way it hurts
    Just gonna stand there
    And hear me cry
    But that's alright
    Because I love
    The way you lie
    I love the way you lie
    I love the way you lie

    I can't tell you what it really is
    I can only tell you what it feels like
    And right now there's a steel knife
    In my windpipe
    I can't breathe
    But I still fight
    While I can fight
    As long as the wrong feels right
    It's like I'm in flight
    High of a love
    Drunk from the hate
    It's like I'm huffing paint
    And I love it the more that I suffer
    I sufficate
    And right before im about to drown
    She resuscitates me
    She fucking hates me
    And I love it
    Wait
    Where you going
    I'm leaving you
    No you ain't
    Come back
    We're running right back
    Here we go again
    It's so insane
    Cause when it's going good
    It's going great
    I'm Superman
    With the wind in his bag
    She's Lois Lane
    But when it's bad
    It's awful
    I feel so ashamed
    I snap
    Who's that dude
    I don't even know his name
    I laid hands on her
    I'll never stoop so low again
    I guess I don't know my own strength

    Just gonna stand there
    And watch me burn
    But that's alright
    Because I like
    The way it hurts
    Just gonna stand there
    And hear me cry
    But that's alright
    Because I love
    The way you lie
    I love the way you lie
    I love the way you lie

    You ever love somebody so much
    You can barely breathe
    When you're with them
    You meet
    And neither one of you
    Even know what hit 'em
    Got that warm fuzzy feeling
    Yeah them chills
    Used to get 'em
    Now you're getting fucking sick
    Of looking at 'em
    You swore you've never hit 'em
    Never do nothing to hurt 'em
    Now you're in each other's face
    Spewing venom
    And these words
    When you spit 'em
    You push
    Pull each other's hair
    Scratch, claw, bit 'em
    Throw 'em down

    Pin 'em
    So lost in the moments
    When you're in 'em
    It's the rage that took over
    It controls you both
    So they say it's best
    To go your separate ways
    Guess that they don't know ya
    Cause today
    That was yesterday
    Yesterday is over
    It's a different day
    Sound like broken records
    Playin' over
    But you promised her
    Next time you'll show restraint
    You don't get another chance
    Life is no Nintendo game
    But you lied again
    Now you get to watch her leave
    Out the window
    Guess that's why they call it window pane

    Just gonna stand there
    And watch me burn
    But that's alright
    Because I like
    The way it hurts
    Just gonna stand there
    And hear me cry
    But that's alright
    Because I love
    The way you lie
    I love the way you lie
    I love the way you lie

    Now I know we said things
    Did things
    That we didn't mean
    And we fall back
    Into the same patterns
    Same routine
    But your temper's just as bad
    As mine is
    You're the same as me
    But when it comes to love
    You're just as blinded
    Baby please come back
    It wasn't you
    Baby it was me
    Maybe our relationship
    Isn't as crazy as it seems
    Maybe that's what happens
    When a tornado meets a volcano
    All I know is
    I love you too much
    To walk away though
    Come inside
    Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
    Don't you hear sincerity
    In my voice when I talk
    Told you this is my fault
    Look me in the eyeball
    Next time I'm pissed
    I'll aim my fist
    At the dry wall
    Next time
    There will be no next time
    I apologize
    Even though I know it's lies
    I'm tired of the games
    I just want her back
    I know I'm a liar
    If she ever tries to fucking leave again
    I'mma tie her to the bed
    And set the house on fire

    Just gonna stand there
    And watch me burn
    But that's alright
    Because I like
    The way it hurts
    Just gonna stand there
    And hear me cry
    But that's alright
    Because I love
    The way you lie
    I love the way you lie
    I love the way you lie

  • Finishing touch



    Lately I've been seeing & hearing so many friends finishing their study.. now they have to find a fulltime job, or they are going to study again. It's makes me feel so.. "jealous"! Why is it so hard to finish this study,.. if I don't do my best.. I won't pass.. I know. But still, it feels like everything what I want is against me. Somehow it tears me apart, and I really don't like it..I despise it! Soon it will be my turn.. 2 months left.. and then... I've got my Bachelor graduation. In my case, it's called "ingenieur". I'm really looking forward to it! After my graduation I want to work fulltime for a month. After a month I want to spend some quality time with myself.. relax and think about what I've achieved in my life. In other words, I want to go on holiday! Far from here.. and so free like a bird! hehe.. can you imagine it?
    Well, it's just my planning for now.. I've planned too much,.. house, job, pets... car,bike :P everything! With these thoughts I'm going to sleep~ Goodnight everyone!

    Cheers,Yeu
