Time really flies. The trip to Hong Kong ended just like that and we are back to reality. Yeah, the cruel reality which things will not change to what you wish it could be. It was indeed a good trip. I was striving hard to complete listening to those doctors talking. They were so monotonous till my mind just couldn't help but to "fish" in the hall on and off.
I managed to learn something new and something which is in the trend right now in the world of Autism. They were all talking about the Bio- medicine treatments and also the causes of Autism in kids nowadays. According to the experts, Autism can be treated by going through Bio- med treatment. A child is required to do a lot of tests and take a lot of supplements during the treatment. I kinda pity them too. The cost for this treatment is super duper expensive. Only people who are rich can have such treatment at the moment. I also learned that what kinda chemicals cause what kind of problems which led me to have to avoid certain things that we often use in daily our daily lives. Sigh...
Well... I'll just leave it to God and do my best so that my baby in future will not have to suffer and my family too do not have to suffer. Anyway, the stressful part is over and I'm glad that I got the fundamental concept of the whole thing, at least!
We departed from Ipoh at 830a. m and we reached airport near 12noon. After checking in our baggages and were waiting at the departure then only we got to know that our flight was delayed for more than 2 hours if I'm not mistaken. Hmm... By the time we reached Hong Kong was 8pm plus. This is still fine. But by the time we reached our hotel is almost 10pm! It took us one hour plus to reach the hotel from the airport because the shuttle bus stopped at many stations.
The worse thing was only when I reached Hong Kong that I realized, I had Thomas contact saved wrongly. *sweat* I was suppose to confirm with him about the dinner plan. Luckily uncle William sent me his contact and yeah, we met up for dinner because so happened he ran some errands around that area. One whole day gone just like that. *phew!*
The second day, we have to get up early in the morning because the registration was at 8am. Thank God that I was able to catch some sleep though it was the first night at the hotel. It was quite packed and quite a lot for me to digest even for the first day. The whole thing ended at 6pm. After going back to the hotel, we went out for dinner as well and I left them after the dinner as I have no choice because I needed to pass them somethings from Ipoh. I struggled so much to decide whether to meet them or not because it seemed not nice by leaving the group. At the end, I told myself not to care so much. Sigh...
The 3rd day was the end for the whole conference. We literally dragged our body up. By the way, their 5.30 am is like 7am , 8am in Malaysia. It annoyed us because it woke us up earlier than we should. After the conference, my colleague and I planned to go to the Temple Street and the Ladies Market since we are already in Hong Kong. The other group planned to have duck as dinner. However, our plan changed to Cheung Chau as my colleague's niece called her up and invited her there. Thus, 3 of us who are not from the Cheng's family went with her. We had a great seafood dinner over there and we had great experience and knowledge about that place. I really like that place because the air there is fresher and there is not car moving around, thus less pollution. That place is not so congested as well. Too bad we went there at night if not we will be able to see more of Cheung Chau.
When we were on the way back to Central, my friend called me up to check my location. When I told him that we went into Cheung Chau, he sounded shocked. He must be wondering how come we are so capable that we are able to find our way there. Haha... I'm so glad that my friend met us for breakfast the next day. We had the simplest but best breakfast after so many days in Hong Kong. Then we started our journey to the Ladies Market and other streets around that area by ourselves. We were scolded even when we just looked at the goods displayed at the stalls at Ladies Market. WT*!!! This was the first time being scolded for not buying!
After walking so much, my body finally surrender. It couldn't stand anymore as it was so dehydrated a and so lack of sleeps. I finally fell sick on the last day in Hong Kong and my face just couldn't hide the discomfort. Overall, it was a great trip and thanks to my friends who made time for me and my friend! I am even blessed with their presence.
