E34 Airport bus + Extra

/in /by

So I took the E34 Airport bus to pick up my sis Mandy who just had a very long distance flight from Holland, Germany, Beijing and finally arriving at Hong Kong. It was around eight o’clock in the eve so I suggested to have something to eat at the airport. And yea it is the Mei Sum restaurant which was also shown in my vlog here:

A Journey to the East series 1 Leaving Home AC Vlog 5

It was fun immediately at the Mei Sum airport wok/restaurant where we had a small dinner.

and then she suddenly asked me, hey look over there, it is not allowed to bring meat into the plane right? So how can they say like roast goose perfect for inflight and when I saw the logo, it remind me of KLM which is symbolized by the swan. It was soo funny the Chinese translation for the name and how they sell it like perfect to consume inflight XD you have to check this pic out . .

in the E34 bus back home there was a stewardess sitting next to us, and she was like having fun all the way with her iphone . . but then I noticed that she is trying to withhold a laughter all the time. I really wanted to ask her what’s so funny. Even Mandy noticed when I told her in Dutch to check it out. So before we get out the bus I was looking at here and kinda with an asking expression and she was almost laughing! Then we get out the bus and she was looking back at me and so we waved our hand haha

You know, when I arrived in Hong Kong months ago I was standing next to a stewardess. and she was a bit different type I think, by the way she behaved. She bumped up to me a few times and was standing in a funny way with her luggage and had a noticing phone conversation even another co passenger was nodding her head. Well, it was long time ago, but the thing is that a few weeks later she was sitting next to me in the bus haha, what a coincidence. So lots of things seems to be very happening by chance after I have arrived in Hong Kong and especially my Wudang trip I met lot of people and some very interesting stories. That I tell you later, for now, some examples during my stay in Hong Kong. I went to a sushi restaurant 1 month ago and there I met the HSI uncle, that’s his nick for now. Somehow we started a conversation about sushi, ah, I asked him why he didn’t go the the sushi restaurant at the corner and if he was afraid of the radiation, because that time it was on the news everyday here in Hong Kong. So we had a chat and then also talked about Hong Kong economy, stocks and Hang Seng Index and he said; let me tell you what, as I won’t see you again, just check out the HSI then he told me his expectations. And guess what, I went to Wudang mountain and now after a month I went to the same sushi restaurant for the second time and yup.. I met the HSI uncle again haha

Things are so likely planned to happen since my Journey to the East.

Even the day I’m back in Hong Kong, I went to my Wingchun academy, in the bus I met an old man, he said to me: So you are learning Wingchun right, then he give me a wise word. I still remember when he got out the bus he looked back and again remind me of the word he told me. Then at the Nathan road a woman handing out leaflets said hey you’re that guy, and so I stopped and looked back. Aha, this was the lady which I met few months ago, back then I was looking for my Wingchun master, and asked her how to walk and so I had a talk for what company she was handing out. She even still remembers that I’m from Holland! So there are many more stories, some are really funny..

So because of a sister yelling for ice-cream I took her to the nearest ice salon, with really nice flavors!

We walked into a clothes shop and it is so that I been there for 3 times and each time I had very clumsy ice-scream with me :p so the girl recognizes me and of course my trademark tail, so we had a talk with the friendly staff,. and yess then they asked why I always buys the expensive ice-scream in this particular ice-cream salon. So I answered in Cantonese, because I like their big ‘po’ instead of ‘kaw’ 球. it is the same fault i made last year in a clothing store with yalen.. So Mandy was having a laughter and it was oh so funny yea

Ps. ‘Po’ = ball but also means boobies and ‘kaw’ is more user friendly and mostly used for ice-scream as I know. So it is how many ‘kaw’ do you want? Yea like that.

Upcoming next blog: My Wudang Mountain experiences and trying to upload some vlog too 🙂

Btw. this is a really really delicious dessert! Made up of milk, soya, sugar and that’s all I know haha!

Left = Double layer milk Right = Dan tan (that’s how my sihing is saying it :P)

First time I tried it and I love it, went 3 more days after the Wingchun lessons I had and took away for home too haha

Mystery Kungfu Man

/in /by

This evening, I have met someone very interesting and inspiring to me.
I went to a local Ving Tsun School to check out how their lessons are given, and hopefully to pick up something. I had made an appointment with the instructor to come by. Then I told Kithang about it and he picked up Koon and Waila where they just had kungfu training. So we arrived at the Ving Tsun School. Then Kithang yelled; I need to fight ten! But there were only 6 students. No, I’m joking. But it was really like we are in for a challenge. Later on my friends left the school because the instructor didn’t appreciated people watching alongside..
I had a chat about Vingtsun and he checked my background, I just said I do kungfu but not this style, and asked about their lineage. This was the Wong Shun Leung line, who is a student of Yip Man. Also trainer/sihing of Bruce Lee. To me it was quite confusing, not trying to show my kungfu knowledge but actually repeating the same moves and theory that I already know. The worst part was when the instructor sent a student to teach me the first basic form. I almost did the complete form, he was like, wow this guy picks it up really fast. Then they did some sticky hands which is the most interesting part of it. But I was not surprised. In my opinion the lesson was quite boring and not inspiring to me at all. There was a lack of sphere and spirit. The class was not energized.
After the class at ten, one of the students came to me. He said; Young man, are you the kungfu man on the tv show?
AC: Yeah, we all look alike, but I’m not Jackie, neither jet nor Donnie.
Mystery man; You must be the wingchun master from Hong Kong to check out our kungfu right?!
AC: Haha, I wish I am. Nice to meet you, I’m Alex Cheung.
We both laughed and so we started talking about Kungfu. Bak Mei, the different lineage of Vingtsun or Wingchun, Leung Ting, Wan Kam Leung and Wong Shun Leung. He also practiced Bak Mei so we had things common. When everybody went home, we were standing at the street talking about Kungfu. He said to me: Finally, I found someone really knows about Kungfu! Well, that is what I can tell you is not very often, first you’ll need to have the chance to meet up someone who is willing to share with you about the inner thoughts, then you’ll have to be aware of the existence. Otherwise you wouldn’t even notice when a master is standing in front of you, ha ha ha and missing all the heavenly glory. I believe there are always good and bad things, if you are open minded, you’ll able to find the balance. Just when I thought I wasted my time at the gym court I met this inspiring person. It made me think of my Bak Mei master. So pure, just standing at mid street in the dark with some streetlights doing kungfu. Very cool silent sphere in the midnight darkness.
We showed some movements, and surprisingly the old man did a split in front of me! We talked about the internal kungfu essence until someone opened up the window and yelled: Quite! People are obviously trying to sleep. I check the time and we’ve talked for 2 hours! Wow, isn’t it amazing. Wushu one family. It doesn’t matter you have age difference or what nationality you have, it connects martial artists.

The deepness of Kung Fu . . .
