another dramatic day

That day, i woke up feeling hopeful...why? because according to the weather forecast, a typhoon would hit HK soon and the wind was already strong...i was hopeful that we could get a day off (FYI, if Typhoon hits #8, we don't have to go to work...if you are at work, we can go home early...and it's paid..now you know why i felt hopeful) As usual, i got up, got ready and went to work....it was windy and many ppl brought their umbrella, put on their rainy boots and also feeling hopeful like me...when i reached the MTR station, gosh, it seems like there were more ppl than usual and i saw an MTR staff putting a "emergency" sign on..i stopped briefly to look and it said, train would delay to arrive every 4 mins instead of just 2 mins"...no big deal for me..so i rushed and got in the train...was in the train for 10mins when i heard this announcement....apparently a train broke down in a critical station and all of us had to alight in the middle...so i thought, what the heck...it was just 3 stations from my stop, i would just hop on a bus when i arrived...how wrong was i??? well...wrong decision because of..... i guess many people thought like me....and got off at that station...the station was sooo crowded because it was packed with passengers, fire fighters and reporters...MTR ppl was thoughtful, they actually arranged free shuttle buses to take ppl to different location...and they didnt even charge us for the train ride ^^ yeah, i'm easily satisfied....anyway...it was really really crowded even outside..but i did enjoy the attention from passerby, polices and reporters...hahhahaha...another drama in HK even before i left....i had so many drama's in hk that i really need to create a special category for it!! let me reminisce here.... First, there was almost a fight in the train because a guy accidentally knock on a kid's head and he was crying his head off....then his parents were so furious and wanted to pick a fight... Second, someone's wallet was stolen in the tram and he was yelling and shouting and said nobody could get out unless he found the culprit...it was crowded and hot in the tram and we had to wait for police to come and search...so we were stuck for 1 hr or so.... third, when i was happily shopping in the mall...and saw many people running towards my direction...then i saw ppl looking up and i thought there was some flying show going on...so i looked up..then i saw someone jumping off...spectacular..but instead of flying, he landed on the floor just in front of me!! suicide!! forth, when i was happily shopping with my sis and her friends...we went home only to find many fire trucks lining outside her apartment lot...and found out that it was my sister's floor...she panic coz was worried that while we went out, her friend might have forgotten to turn the gas off...what if it was her apartment? all of our stuff would be BURNT!! GONE!! BYE BYE!!! not sure if i wrote a post on that...anway...just found out someone burnt incense and threw them in the rubbish bin and it caught fire...but we did meet some cute fire fighters...hahaha.. then there were twice when i was taken by the ambulance to hospitalise and was there for 2 - 3 days....you can imagine how interesting my life is in HK!! anyway, back to my story....it was really crowded coz everyone was fighting for the free shuttle bus...it was hot so i figured, the station is not that far from my work place, i might as well just cross the road and catch a paid bus instead...i guess, my thinking process is so common that everyone was doing the same thing...all the buses were FULL...and i only got to office at 10am...i guess i was considered lucky...just 1 hour more la... i kinda enjoyed the whole process despite of the trouble...sound weird? well, when i was Q'ing, i peeked at the lady in front of me..she logged on to fb and started writing nasty status update...she wrote:"MTR had shit arrangement and everyone fighting for buses. damn"....then she wrote another nasty one but i didnt peek anymore...then in the bus, i heard many ppl calling their spouses/friends and complained how congested the traffic was and how unlucky they were and that it was bad that they were still not in office yet...all that time, i was verifying what they said...mtr? shit arrangement? i thought it was good...it was unexpected and they managed to get so many buses in..and the buses were q'ing to take ppl...traffic congested? it was quite good to me coz it looked like there was no difference than before....not in office yet? i bet the person was happy to be outside at this time!!! don't you think, if you adjust your thoughts for a while, everything would be much beautiful? i added in drama in HK so that it would be easier for my dearest friends to recall what i had been through in hk :)
