香港@Hong Kong Night View

香港@Hong Kong, it's beautiful by her name.

香@Xiang, pleasant aroma, as 港@gang, for harbour. You'll know exactly what it means if you've seen the famous night view of Victoria Harbour from a mountain peak...


And Hong Kong, or Hong Kong, China (after year 1997) pretty much grow up with many of us (mainly and largely, Malaysian-Chinese:p). I'm not sure if it's He-man or She-ra first, but as far as i can remember, the Hongkee's famous movies, dramas, songs and many more had been and still entertain us in a way, like bedtime story book.

Back then, kids may not even heard about Kuching in Sarawak State, but they probably can name few streets in HK like 旺角@Wong Kok, 尖沙咀@Jim Sa Zui, etc. They don't know who is P.Ramlee, but they can tell you that 刘德华@Andy Lau changed his hair style last week. I first started to play Black-Jack because of the movie Saint of the Gamblers, not because i've been to Genting Highland! And we joked in Stephen-Chow's way, wish to fight like 成龙@Jackie-Chan, similar effect to Arnold's "I'll be back!"

While HK is mainly 广东@Cantonise speaking country (hence, most of their product are in Cantonise), it didn't stop other Chinese from diffrent dialects from being HK drama fans. The main dialects in Peninsula Malaysia are mainly 福建@Hokkien (north & south) and 广东@Cantonise (Central), plus many others like 客家@Hakka, 海南@Hainan (Yup, that's me, Hainanese!), 广西@GuangXi, 福州@FuZhou, etc. And 中文@华语@Mandarine, is the only language being taught in all Chinese school and hence, main language for all Chinese.

Oh, i suppose to express my gratitute and appreciation to my friend, Cai Yan, who sent me this postcard all the way from HK. I am, again, fortunate enough to catch up with her just days before she left for HK. All the troubles to do so, during her short stay and busy schedule in HK, i will always remembered.

Just like i'll always remember her beautiful name, 彩雁@Cai Yan.

彩@Cai, colourful, 雁@Yan, can be the like of Heron and Egrets. I'll see her as a person with strong determination, commitment and positive attitude towards achieving something in her life. She will be a good lawyer, for sure. (Well, maybe there is a time when she can save me, haha!)

The same determination that beautiful Heron possess, during their never ending seasonal movements around the globe.
