Hainan and Hong Kong Trip / 30.07.05~08.08.05

Me and CP have our vacation in Hainan and Hong Kong early August this year. As you know, I have been to Hong Kong several times, but it was my first visit to Hainan!

Well, basically Hainan is not a hot tourist spot for tourists. It becomes famous lately due to Boao Forum For Asia Inaugural Ceremony and the Miss World Beauty Pageant in Sanya. We visited a friend in Haikou (capital city of Hainan) and followed her travelling from Haikou to Boao, Sanya and Lan Tian. The most significant tourist attraction is Nanshan Temple in Sanya. It is well-known of its Naihan Guanyin, which is a 3 surfaces magnificent Guanyin on the sea. I deem what makes tourists fond of Hainan is the hot spring spa there. Yeah, it's remarkable, you should try it!

Hong Kong?! Ha, shopping, shopping and again, shopping! It seems to be my annual activity there! As usual, I spent a bundle and I am broke! Apart from shopping, I went to The Peak this time round - A sublime scene of Hong Kong Island! And, what make Hong Kong so special nowadays? Yes, Disneyland ! Unfortunatelly, I had no chance to visit it as it has not been opened yet. Nonetheless, there were lots of Hong Kong residents purposely made their trip to Disneyland just to have a glimpse of its outlook. Sounds ridiculous? Ha!

My next proposed trip will be either Cambodia or Hong Kong (Again?! No choice, wanna go Disneyland!!) in March 2006. Wanna join me? Book earlier ^_^

Live On Air at MYFM

My very first on-air experience occured on the 27th May, 2005. I was invited to talk about Australian Education, live with Miss Vivian Tok, a top DJ in MYFM. No preparation, no pre-setting questions and no pre-communication prior to the show. Vivian is pretty easy to get along with, she treated you as a friend, just chitchat like you are in a coffee house, not in the studio. We chatted a lot, on-air and off-air, topics ranging from education, broadcasting, travelling to shopping (Ha, this is the most common topic amongst gals ^_^). Wow, we were so excited when talking about shopping in Hong Kong! We chatted for two hours for the show and had a very happening midnight at KTV.

Well, I received quite good feedbacks from my friends for the show. They said my performance were great and brilliant! Nonetheless, I personally thought that I was too careful while talking till I had a very slow reaction. If I will be given a chance again, I have confident it will be much better. Yeah, I am looking forward to having my 100% show! Some time in the future ...

A reminiscence in March, 2005

Gosh, it has been almost 6 months since I came back from Queensland. Time flies when you are busying yourself with tons of work. Don't you agree, do you?

Queensland trip was my third visit to Australia indeed; first was to Perth and followed by Adelaide. Adelaide trip was a wee bit short though！But, I had 18 days in Queensland. Wow, Sounds great? I knew how to enjoy myself albeit that were business trips :P

It makes me reminiscing of the precious moments there when uploading the photos. How lovely it was! I am sure you are pretty envious as I have been to Brisbane, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast and Cairns, nearly all bigger towns in Queensland!

My mind flashed back to the magnificent sceneries, lush tropical rainforest and the marine diversity of the stunning Great Barrier Reef in Cairns; Golden beaches and Surfers Paradise in Gold Coast; uniquely Australian marsupials and Koalas in Paradise Country; oddity reptiles in Australian Zoo; peaceful with a picturesque beauty Toowoomba; A jolly Kookaburra Queen Cruise Dinner in Brisbane; and the pristinely placid beaches in Sunshine Coast ... ...

Unfortunately, those majestic sceneries are not in this webiste as I was unable to snap it. It is only in my mind, a reminiscence, always!

朴素不等于老土！

花好月圆，六月是结婚的季节。婚宴一场又一场地在城中展开。如果你稍有交际，都会被红炸弹轰炸，当然，我也“难逃劫数”。出席了两场婚宴，与新郎新娘一起感染幸福的喜悦。 除了享受丰盛的盛宴以及是老朋友欢聚的时刻外，我想几个小时被困在酒店或餐馆，着实无聊。通常，我喜欢利用无聊的时刻观察男男女女的言行举止以及衣着打扮。

现今的社会青少年们都被名牌荼毒, 不穿名牌好象衬托不出自己的形象，于是在晚宴上你可以发觉嘉宾们都把价值不非的晚礼服往自己的身上套，好让自己成为晚会的焦点。

如果你把目光从华丽的衣着移开，再仔细端详她们的脸庞，你会纳闷她们的服装和脸庞的不对称。一件高贵出众的晚装配搭一张素脸，抱歉，如果我是男人，我的目光实在无法在她们身上游移。

我国引以为荣的2020年宏愿已日益迫近，我们的社会竟然还抱着有智慧学识的女人不应该注重装扮这种歪论。一个打扮漂亮出众的能干女人很多时候会被认为是空有躯壳，没有智慧； 而相反地， 一个打扮简单甚至老土的女人，被冠上知书识礼的可能性比较高。

为什么知书识礼的女人就不能拥有美丽动人的外表？就因为我们的社会充斥着一大堆不懂得打扮的女性，所以聪明能干的女人就要和她们一样？如果你到日本韩国香港，你会发觉不管是蓝领还是白领，女性一样打扮得美丽动人去上班， 为什么我们的社会就要以异样的眼光来看待打扮得体的女性？其实，化妆上班是一种礼貌，因为以一张苍白的脸庞示人，对客户确实有欠尊重。当然这可能不包括天生丽质的女性，漂亮的女性本来就拥有比一般女性多特权。

其实，女性要魅力四射，并不需要花枝招展，也甭需花钱到美容院学化妆，只要稍为上进，多加留意艺人的装扮，阅读时尚杂志，观看时尚节目，就可以从中窥知化妆的技巧。我的化妆知识都是从中而得，虽比不上专业化妆，但胜在可以见人。我想马来西亚人对学习并不热衷，既然下班后可以耗好几个小时观赏连续剧，那就不妨“顺便”留意剧中艺人的衣着打扮，学习时下流行的装扮，何乐而不为呢？

很多女性都标榜自己偏爱朴素的装扮，其实，这是个人喜好，朴素也不是不好，只是很多女性往往将朴素和老土混淆了。很多女性衣着老土，却强词夺理地觉得那是朴素，殊不知自己的装扮着实让人觉得她犹如活在另一个世界当中。朴素的装扮理应是衣着简单，不刻意不造作；遗憾的是，很多年轻女性误以为把五六十岁安娣的衣服往自己的身上套就是朴素，这简直令人啼笑皆非。

形象是你自己的，名誉也是你自己的；你可以选择亮丽可人，也可以选择清新朴素，更可以选择老土过时；但是，请切记，予人第一印象的重要性，如果你的衣着打扮不合时宜， 请不要介意别人对你的指指点点！

花儿还会绽放吗？

我从二楼的走廊往下望，看见她拖着纤瘦的身子使劲全力地向前跑。 跑啊跑的，比赛的最终结果是赢抑是输，我已经忘记。

毕竟，那是10多年前的事了。

她是运动健将，学校举行的运动会总有她的份儿。对运动一窍不通的我总是对运动会有点抗拒，暴晒在炎阳下观看运动赛事似乎不是很好的选择，奈何，全体学生还是必须出席。我们唯一能做的便是和三五好友结伴聊八卦，听到激昂的欢呼声时便跑到走廊看热闹。

那一次，我看到了她在草场上奔驰的英姿。

她其实是学校的“风云人物”，嗯，名字是响当当，但不是她自圆其说的校花。她是校长的侄女，却常被训导主任通过播音器“邀请”到训导处，尽管不认识她，同学们都对她的名字相当熟悉。

中学毕业后，我到都城求学，逐渐把她的名字淡忘。

假期回乡观赏本地粤语连续剧时惊见她出现于剧中，才知道她已经在娱乐圈发展。尔后，她的花边新闻不停地出现于报章，同学们又开始留意她。最令我们津津乐道的是她到香港参加亚洲小姐选美，闹得满城风雨。由于美姐被褫夺冠军荣衔，主办当局把她荣升为第二副姐，她却很有个性表明不屑该荣衔而婉拒了。我们开始议论纷纷，觉得她在搞噱头。 果然不出所料，竟然出现她和当时香港的当红玉女争风吃醋的负面新闻。报章还以大幅度篇幅将她与该玉女作比较，同学们开始质疑她丰腴的身材，过后更成为我们饭后茶余的消遣。

有好一阵子，一切突然沉寂了。

去年初的一个炎炎午后，脑子骤然浮现这种感觉，很久没有她的消息了。两天后，我在咖啡店吃晚餐时阅到中国报刊载她在上海车祸危殆的新闻。我愣住了。那阵子，追看她的新闻报导成了我们重要的任务，同学们发挥了吾爱母校的精神，发出邮件呼吁大家为她祈祷。我们心里都有一个希望，希望她早日从昏迷中苏醒过来。中国医学界的精深医术，让她创造了奇迹，成为第二个刘海若。

因为那一场车祸，令我重新评估她。她对爱情的坚贞，对梦想的坚持，让我看到了她生存的价值. 车祸发生时，她用身子护着男友，以致自己受到重创。这一幕在电影中才会出现的情节却真实地发生在她身上。

我看到了一个真实的她。

她逐渐地康复。我想，老天待她不薄，虽然全身是伤，但是姣好的容貌依然俏丽。大难不死，必有后福。可是，她说自己并不快乐。车祸了磨平了她的棱角，也砸碎了她的明星梦。她发了专辑，重新站在舞台上，却不受落，更甭说斐然的成绩。

含苞待放的花儿，还未绽放，却又枯萎了。

她拖着纤瘦的身子使劲全力地向前跑，终站还远着呢！ 她能够胜利地跑完全程吗？
