Long, long queue


Seriously, I hate to queue! Irregardless of where I go, there are queues at food courts, bus stops, taxi stands, cashier lines, yes, everywhere.

This city is getting crowded here, small place, densely populated. With all the booming economy activities, people are buying, buying and buying, where did they get their money from, stock market? Price of housing is rocketing because of some invisible driving force pushing the prices up, at least 30% increase compared to one year ago. There are people, especially foreigners, complaining that they couldn't find a decent priced apartments. Cost of necessity products also went up by at least 10%.

Crazy!?! I just hope some day all this will cool down, I guess it should be happening pretty soon...

Happy New Year 2008!


Another fresh new year, wish everyone may all their wishes come true.

This year's New Year fireworks display duration was very short, only 8 minutes. The worst thing of all was, we, friends, were at a spot, can hear, but, can't see the fireworks, wrong place! Not just me, but a lot of people were also there, haha, big mistake. In the end, we had to chase and run around some blocks of buildings trying to get near. Yup, can hear, but, still partially blocked view.

I managed to take some pictures, the night scenes photos taken were not good, I think exposure too long. Sooo... disappointed.
