// 等一个人出现，

拥抱着我的世界 

等一个人带回，
大雨过的蓝天 //

week two isnt nearly over but I'm already maxed out. need to start taking control of my life, getting my shit together. it's tiring but I'm not going down. been looking at so many things that I'd be giving up recently. doesnt feel very nice that sometimes the thing you want the most might be the thing that shuts most doors on you. and the worst part? you dont even know if you really really truly want what you want.

but I've learnt the hard way, that I gotta do whatever I need to, so as to get what I want. except things that are against my morals, of course. it gets on my nerves ever so often that people with low morals and atrocious character climb the highest. because they'd literally stop at nothing to get where they wanna. I'm sorry if I'm not able to do that but I'm pretty sure this aint what my parents sent me to uni to do. I know what I want but I'll never sacrifice my morals for them.

on another note, some discussions I've had made me ponder about the true meaning of affection and how many people misuse it so much that the entire idea of affection is probably flawed and cant go any further from the truth anymore. how much you know about a person to be able to say that you truly like them? do you like them for who they are or do you like them for who they make you? figuring out feelings and thoughts is like entering a hellhole for me, I'd steer as far away as possible from exhausting inner debates like these because such questions will never have pleasing answers. sometimes you may ponder for an entire year before a Eureka moment which makes you realize your misjudgment.

"I like you because you make me a better person, or rather, you make me wanna become a better person." - maybe just one day.

HK Day 5

// 只能说我输了
也许是你怕了

只能说我认了

你的不安赢得你信任 //

was headed for Ngong Ping on Day 5! woke-up fairly early, was so thankful that Cathy made us breakfast :') partly cause we didnt need to spend on breakfast lah, but the gesture was just so warm. 

luckily the Cable Car station wasnt too far off, but that was the whole reason we changed accommodation to begin with. queued for nearly 45min before we got on board the Cable Car to Ngong Ping. it was really rather thrilling, like I was legit damn scared for 5min or so and then I started being quite amazed by the sights I was seeing. 

arrived in Ngong Ping and went on the path to look for the Big Buddha

super shag climb up, I think I counted 266 steps? not sure if there's any meaning behind that though. so all ^ above was the journey up. and below would be our view from the top! 

our selfie skills ^ really last warning LOL.

took a bus to Tai-O for free because we got the air-land-sea bundle for a cheaper price online!

basically Tai-O is a small fishing village located like reaaaaally far away most parts of HK and is surrounded by mountains, nevertheless still beautiful!

so the 'sea' section of our bundle was basically a boat ride out to the nearby waters where we got to see dolphins! the best part was that we didnt even know about this? so it came as a pleasant surprise heh :)

couldnt really catch photos of dolphins (cause we not fast enough) and it was difficult enough spotting them already, much less taking photos.

came back to Ngong Ping only to be greeted with a bull LOL.

took one of the last batches of cable cars back to HK because #yolo #livingontheedge

mad rush the moment we got back to HK because there was so much to buy before 10pm, all the snacks from the different places we marked out #overlyambitious really but we managed to clear quite a few items from the list!

had dinner at Yat Lok (a one-star Michelin Restaurant), didnt find it especially fantastic and it was expensiveeee ); but not a bad meal to conclude the trip!

headed back to Cathy's to grab our luggage and whew it was crazy dragging nearly 30kg of stuff by myself to walk, and take the train! was sweating buckets really badly because there wasnt any night breeze. camped at the airport the whole night because #cheapo #saveaccommodationfees #hobo but nearly died when I got back to SG, concussed for practically the whole day LOL.

I think it was a super nice first solo travel. looking forward to more! :)
