SMILEyes















I am planning of posting all of my memorable and unforgettable experiences in Shenzhen, China. I just wanna have a documentation of all the things that had happened to me during my stay in another country. We all know that almost everyone of us wanna visit other countries and I was one of those and I could say I was lucky because I was able to go to China without spending too much.. All expenses were being shouldered by the company.(",)

SMILEyes? curious? this is a photo of a dreamy girl who was irresolute to leave the country for she already had a happy life in her own hometown. She still pursued to fly for she thought it was the answer to her dreams. A dream which didn't come true BUT she was very happy to be back in her own native land. (Actually she has been praying for it to return home than suffer from a life where she isn't happy and God has made a way for her to put back the smile on her face.. =)"Dreams which didn't come true but a blessing in another way"..no regrets, it's God's plan..

Look at my smile..I've got a big smile here but if you look into my eyes, you can see there's sadness. I was wrapped with loneliness and gloominess was my companion during that time. Well, actually this was my first day in Hongkong, or should I say my first step in another country.. We were eating at a Japanese restaurant here at the HK International Airport. Beside me in this photo is my sister. She was the one who recommended me to work in China so she accompanied me during my trip. The airport is pretty huge and I'm sure I'll get lost if my sister didn't accompany me so thanks to her.
Yeah, I was smiling here but the glumness was present because I didn't know what life awaits in me in China being an alien in another's country and the most unmanageable thing to tackle was on how I was gonna communicate with the Chinese when only rarely of them can speak English, you gotta dig first in the ground or find them at the cave..The communication barrier is actually the problem because mostly of the Chinese don't speak English. Additionally, "wo bu hui shou Jhongwen" (I don't speak Chinese) and I only know etien tien (little) Chinese words so I was just told to mimic and use body language just to communicate with them hahaha. But the truth is I'm not ready yet.. I wasn't prepared yet to face the new challenges in my life to be miles away from my family, friends and my special someone and to live independently.

Actually, I was so excited when the plane landed at the HK airport since it was my first time, I couldn't believe that after almost 2 hours of sitting and making realizations on the plane, we finally arrived, but somehow I felt like I didn't wanna get off from the plane because I still couldn't accept the fact that I would be away from my ever beloved country and the people I love. It was like I wanna back off from my decision, knowing it wouldn't be easy for me.. Funny duh! But I actually was doing this for them, that I might one day could earn big and would be able to help them. (",)
