Life in HKUST (Part IV)

Ok lah, I actually felt quite guilty lah. I have a plenty to talk about when I was in HKUST. But ever since I'm back in home sweet home, and after a month of rusting, I become very lazy eventually lah. Don't feel like updating my HKUST post anymore.
But somehow I think I will definitely feel regret afterwards.
Because I am pretty sure university stuff will left me no time to even log in to the internet, EVEN FB. *cheh, mai geh lah

In Mong Kok MTR Station

There is no doubt that the public transportation in HK is so much better compare to Malaysia. They have MTR, tram, taxi, big buses and mini buses to choose to travel. 

The most easiest transportation in HK is the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), which is the rapid transit railway system. (a.k.a KTM/LRT/tube/subway)

I mean, sometimes you just cannot believe how easy to take this MTR to travel from one place to another place. Backpack in HK. Not a problem AT ALL. 

It might look complicated at the first sight. But MUMMY TOLD ME DON'T JUDGE THE BOOK BY IT'S COVER ! This map is damn easy to understand/read ! 

I mean, don't say I'm being biased lah. 外国的月亮比较圆 all lah . #NO !

Compare it then.

Ok lah, I am still anak Malaysia right. This map is still quite cool though, at least this KTM/LRT map covers quite many places in Klang Valley.

Okay, this picture was taken in the very early morning in the MTR train. Usually it is packed, like every freaking day from 8am to 12am. But at least most of the passengers are local hongkee or Mainland chinese. Instead of crowded with foreign labours from South East Asia countries.

Mong Kok MTR Station

Just look for the red spider-ish sign and you will get home very easily.

'Ding Dong' tram in HK Central. Tram ("Cable-bus") only can be found in Central area/HK island. The route of this tram is quite limited, and slow, and cool, and cheap. Pretty much a historical transportation though. 

Hong Kong Central Library in Central. #youdon'tsay

Look how crowded is the library. Hongkees have a really good reading habit. This reminds me of myself at school time when I was a librarian, singing "Marilah Membaca" and thought of my little effort can make some better changes and implant reading culture in my school. FML too naive, too naive

I mean, it's one of the culture of the people in the country. Every papa mama bring their children to the library to read books during public holiday. Instead of waking up early just to get ready for  the 'weekly shopping spree' in any one of the KL shopping centers. *and drive back to home on the very-congested-highway.

Random street singer/artist you will meet in the everyday-also-busy Mong Kok street. 

Some really can sing and I sometimes thought they are one of the singers from TVB.

Hongkees not afraid of voicing out their opinion towards any parties. They don't like it, they complain about it, with pride. Many of them volunteered to spread the voice to the people. Even not many of the street walker really take them into their eyes. But these volunteers always give their 100%. 

So it was 1st of July that day, and 1st of July is any other typical day in Malaysia.
But 1st of July is Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day, where, most of the Honkees will have an annual protest rally to fight their rights and voice out to their government.
Andy explained damn lot to us, but we can barely understand some of it lah. Since we Malaysian don't study HK history.

@.@''

It was really an experience ! I never participate in any demonstration in Malaysia. This is the first time, and it's in HK. How cool !
If you are interested of this 1st July marches, read more here : Click me. Wiki explains the best.

I mean, I am very proud as a Malaysian.
Not only because of the achievement of Dato Lee Chong Wei or the future-Dato Pandelela Rinong. *btw,congratez
We have delicious food, beautiful culture, friendly people (kononnya).
We may not have the best transportation system, education system, or the safest public environment, etc.
But when there is any problem raised by the citizen to be solved, that would definitely going to be ended up with politic. Pathetic politicians everywhere who always can't solve the problem for the citizen.
So how we do it?
We voice it out, like how any other country did.
A peaceful demonstration.

Demonstration along Jalan Sultan to pressure the government to preserve heritage buildings

You know what I am thinking

Ok lah, I am not very into the politic stuff all.
As a Malaysian, sometimes also, I must still keep myself more aware of those happenings in Malaysia lah. Even FB spread the news sometimes. Demonstration is definitely not a culture in Malaysia. But we can definitely see it growing now. It's still good that the government sometimes campur tangan to control it. As I believe oftenly these kinda demonstration, is controlled by opposition politicians, and I don't wish to see demonstration turns out to be a part of the politic game as it is actually the voice of the citizen. I don't like aggressive demonstration to be happened in Malaysia though. *fuyoo macho-nya
