love this picture :D

This picture I liked the most... it's another waterfall, well, I won't call it a waterfall if I know any other better word because it's very small, not like a waterFALL. hehe... it looks nice anyway :D

Bank of China... raining

Here it is! The Bank of China Tower behind the waterfall :)

a human face?!

If you've ever been to Hong Kong Park you'd admit the artificial waterfall is dominant. You can walk behind the waterfall because there was a path. While I was walking in, I took this picture :D

It looks like a human face with hair (even)! Hehe.. fun :)

Hong Kong Park

It was a rather sunny and warm afternoon, it surprised me that so many people were in the park. Tourists (with cameras), couples, young and energetic foreigners, old but nice old couples and some passersby like me. Some of them were enjoying the soft sunlight in those bunches, some of them were dining in a small cafe shop, ah yeah, a couple were sneaking around but I saw them kissing :p haha! Well, there was a newly wed couple taking pictures with pro photographers!

lotus

It actually was a few days ago, I had my lunch then decided to go for a walk. Hong Kong Park is not far from Lippo Centre, so there I went.

I saw this cute Thai lotus in a pond, quite cute, aren't they?

ample tree?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this on my way to the Conservatory in Hongkong Park, yes indeed, an ample tree! How could that be?! But this is an ample tree in Hong Kong Park! Red leaves! Lovely!

dancing girl

This is my favourite flower of all flowers! It's called 'dancing girl' (well, that was what Lily, the florist owner told me long ago). It looks like a Dutch girl with her traditional clothes on! Look at her head and her beautiful 'dress'! It looks just like a dancing girl :D

This flower is much beautiful than rose, lily and many others... what do you think? Ah, it's one kind of orchid I think :)

Finally, us :D

History repeats itself. I felt like travelling back to the time when I was younger, that Po, Yan and I decided to take pictures of beautiful scenery only, never us, we used to think it wasn't good to include ourselves in a beautiful picture... then one day, when we looked back, we discovered that: why, why weren't we in those beautiful pictures? How to let people know we've been there? (hehe, we were silly back then)

That was why we started taking pictures of ourselves, just to prove we've been to that place. I still think it's good to have us in pictures so that people know we've been there! (Even though this picture is not so good, but still, you can see us :p)

sunset in the reservoir..

This picture actually looks quite good, very natural, but a bit too dark.

Guess what? We saw so many photographers with super professional cameras on our way back and forth the reservoir... We were so damn jealous! I wish I had one of those! God, please give me a Cannon EOS 50! Haha, yeah, if anyone ever asks me what do I want for Christmas, I'd say a Cannon EOS 50 plus a free photography course :p OK, I was only saying it, don't take it seriously... but if you do, that would be wonderful! Hoho~ I am at least allowed to dream, am I not?

Favourite of the day

This is my favourite of the day.

I like the colour of water, I like my own shadow and those rocks around this little pond :)

testing one two three, Bonaqua!

Hehehe.. if you ask me what's with this picture.. I am not able to tell... because, I was testing my camera :p Laugh while you can, i am not really familiar with all functions of my camera, besides, I am new to photography!

Was trying to focus on the Bonaqua (this brand of mineral water is the best :p) and blurred the background, which I did it successfully, marvelous! :p

curious monkey

There were a lot of monkeys! I've never seen so many REAL monkeys in my life! Some of them are really small with size of... hm, less than 30 cm, it can't be so accurate anyway, some were small size. And, I saw one grown up monkey with red arse! hahaha!

They have really good sense of time. When we were walking to the van, a gang of monkeys walking in the road going back to the reservoir, going 'home' literally! I wonder which part in the reservoir do they live!

my dear friends

Ho~ Po and Yan were taking pictures... and we've got a handbook! haha!

Shing Mun Reservoir

Weather was so good, Po and Yan were standing next to me taking pictures. Water was so still, can you see? This picture makes me feel calm.. seriously.

Shing Mun - first pic

I slept to 12:30 pm on Sunday. Got up, took a shower, made few phone calls, set off to Shing Mun Reservoice in Tsuen Wan.

I couldn't remember how to get to the van (or what van) when we were in Tsuen Wan... Po remembered! (Yan.. can't :p) So we were there then. First picture of the day, a so la la picture, but.. stuff it!

one flash, two shadows

This Sunday, Ioana, George, Yan and I (Po was missing since she never picked up her damn phones that morning - she missed a good day!) went to Sai Kung for a walk. The weather was so nice, we saw a lot of interesting things, like some cows (you may not even consider it interesting, but, as for us, who live in a city for so long, it's rare to see a cow - hm, occassionally, we do see 'traces' of cows, haha, but only when we go onto islands), a huge crab 'climbing' on the wall of a building, we saw a very funny aqua bike, a funny 'beware of cows' sign etc, things you will not see in a metropolis like Hong Kong...

Anyway, you can see more pictures of today on Yan's blog.. once she uploaded them!

Hm... George said I should try blue highlight on my hair because if you see it under the sun, my hair is slightly blue (is it so?). I might try, who knows? Ioana said I should try red instead of blue. (George asked Ioana 'why are you against blue?' made me laugh, they are a very funny couple!) I like the length of my hair though, a little bit shorter will also be considered!

yan :p

Lalalala, h瓣sslich Yan! I've got nothing to say! hahaha!

yellow flowers

As for these yellow ones, don't be treated, same as the purple ones! Sick!

purple flowers

These little purple flowers... nameless? I remember them. How could I forget? Take my warning people, don't be tempted to smell these flowers, they make you dizzy!

signs

Back at Victoria Park - toilet signs. It's very creative, I mean, I've never really seen any signs with hangers! Have you? And a shower? haha! Left is for changing rooms while the right is for toilets :D

The Latter-Day Saints

Mormon! On my way to Central, this Mormon church (newly built, looks rather European) stands next to the historic Wanchai Police Station after some Mormons passed me by (ah, they have really handsome guys!).

Strange as it is, there are many Mormon churches in Hong Kong (check this out, click on 'HK Island Stake', then 'Chai Wan', well, there's a typo, it should be 'Wan Chai' instead of 'Chai Wan'!), the answer why is beyond my knowledge. I've been to few of those churches though, haha, when I was young and wanted to get to know one of those handsome Mormon guys!

Chinese Resources Tower

Yeah, skyscrapers. They are not special... you can see quite a lot of these in Central. I felt like being caged when I was walking down to Central Library for my lost library card as well as to register my SmartID as a library card. They look lonely... haha, I don't know why, but they look hopeless standing there!

Lippo Centre

This (currently) is where I work. I used to think it's ugly because it looked strange in my eye and... a bit odd. It was before I read an article about these buildings. Really, take a second look, what do you think they look like?

They look like some koalas climbing trees! That is cute! They are rather extraordinary now, haha, not odd anymore! People change, you and I change according to what you know about things, the more you learn/know, the wiser you are. Be wise!

dog's shitting pool

Last picture of today, a dog's shitting pool :p You can't see it actually, and there weren't any! Can you see me in the picture! *evil laughter*

One Peking Road

One Peking Road, what is so special about this building is that, it absorbs solar energy (sunlight) for operating an automated window blind system!

dangling toy

Do you like looking around when you are walking? I like doing that. Besides this, I don't like looking at people when they are talking... Please bear with me when sometimes I appear to be absentminded or look like I am not listening to what you say, but I do! I am listening!

So this picture. A doll dangling outside the wall, under the air-conditioner. It's pretty dangerous... poor toy. How many kids in developing countries don't even have a toy? The owner should donate that to Salvation Amy.

a fake beggar

This! Is! Unforgivable! I am not discriminating beggars, but this one is unforgivable, he is faking it! He's not disable, he has 2 hands, but he was pretending to be disable, shame on him! He's young but he's not working, what on earth is he thinking? I look down on this kid.

To those who live in Hongkong, please don't give $ to this kid! He's fake!

the braille code

A jumble of dotts? Yeah, it's Braille codes, created by Helen Keller. I didn't notice any of these before, I noted this one in a subway in TST. I did a google search on Braille, though I don't think it's in English, I wonder if this is 'Chinese Braille'? Should know more on this subject.

The rich and the poor...

Just few steps away, I saw this woman.

Strong contrast, the rich and the poor. *sign* Such is life...

the purple stage

Take a closer look at this! Toooooo exaggerating!! It looks like a opera stage (with not enough space), but the lightings looks superb :D

decorated Harbour City - the mall

This picture is weird. Taken in front of the Harbour City in TST, see? It's all decorated! (Too dramatic and too purple). There was a newly wed couple taking wedding pictures.

Some people say you look best on your wedding day, to be honest, I really doubt this. This couple doesn't look superb. The bride put on too much make-up that the colours of her 'decorated' face and her without-make-up-neck are different! The groom is too fat (:p) I've decided I will not do anything remotely like this... at least, I won't take wedding pictures in front of Harbour City in TST!

on ferry

I was on Star Ferry. I like Star Ferry. I like taking a boat than going on MTR. On MTR, you can only stare at people or you pretend you are asleep, however, on a ferry, you can walk around (spacious), enjoy the 'harbour' breeze and stare at the waves. I like staring at the sea, when there is a big wave, I will shout 'wow', haha, I am a bit silly I know. Last time when I was on ferry (lower deck) wow and ah about the big waves, 2 girls in upper deck talked to me! haha! They were very cute! I love kids (if they are not mine)!

Santa's Town - such a name!

I spent the whole afternoon wandering around, first I went to Santa's Town in Central - Christmas is approaching you know, being the international city, of course there are always something to attract innocent tourists - it is all decorated, quite nice though.

Last year, the Christmas tree broke a world record (can't remember what record though, if you are interested, search guiness world records :p). There were a lot of people already, waiting for the opening of the Santa's Town (many of them are tourists), I felt like one of them myself, with a camera in my hands :) I can't say I like Christmas that much, it's not our tradition, though one thing that I really appreciate, we have holidays when Christmas comes... it's all too commercial!

rocks

This place is memorable, yeah, why not?

Tsang Tai Uk - old-fashioned

In this picture, Tsang Tai Uk looked archaic, a bit sad in my opinion.

Tsang! Tai! Uk!

This is the other side of Tsang Tai Uk. It's really old fashion, very traditional, guess what, there are still many people live in there nowadays!

I like this picture though, you can see new buildings and old houses, strong contradiction, light and shadow, and blue, my favourite blue is in as well... hehe...

Robber :)

The first day of the week, we went cycling for a good beginning. It was a sun-ly sun-ny Sunday, though weather was a bit chilly in the evening, but over all, it was a good day. We watched Oliver Twist before going to Taiwai (Oliver Twist was rather good, better than I expected, I didn't cry by the way), while we were waiting for the bus, Po pulled her jacket from her Tasche, covered her face using the hat of that jacket, trying to look horrible (haha, she's definitely crazy!); Yan saw her and said she looked like a robber, then she tried to rob me :) There was an old man watching as we were playing, having fun (as always, world of our own, huh?), he said "ah, got no face to meet others" obviously referring to Po, haha, we wouldn't help laughing! You can judge if she looked horrible.. haha!

Middle Road Playground v. Lolita

On our way to the Middle Road playground. We'd never been there though. It was quite a amuzing day, Po and I wanted to play with the swing, we waited and waited, finally one kid left, I rushed to the swing, but suddenly the security guard came to us and said we weren't allowed to play! (Dammit!) Few minutes later, there was a 'photographer' (a freak one I'd say) taking pictures of 2 girls in Lolita clothinges (it was quite disgusting watching those girls posing, mimicing cartoons - sorry, but I am personally against Lolita trend), and they were using the playgound's facilities! Po was encouraged to make a complaint to the security, she came back to me even more angrier, she said 'he said he doesn't understand English' when we laughed for a while.

We made a funny video cursing and stating the whole thing, haha, silly us :D

Playground mit foot :D

Actually this picture is quite silly :p

Tsim Sha Tsui East - Mariners' Club

The colour of the building that made us stopped. The blue building! The Mariners' Club! Marine, blue! Quite appropriate :)

Space Museum - photo gallery

Po and I went to the Space Museum to check out what programs were on. However, there was a photo gallery of the Space took all our attention. I liked the frame of the picture on display, the picture itself was marvelous! I wonder how many nights did those photographers waited just to catch the breath-taking moments... I want to have one of those really giant telescope one day!!

You can see Po and I :) For those who haven't see me for a while, I had a haircut!

Neon lights

Hm...... I feel like a visitor. Going here and there, taking pictures. I have nothing better to say.

Espirit - colourful shoes

Were in Espirit. I was so damn exhausted that I had to sit down (there was a couch, luckily). Po and Yan kept walking though. If you look closely to the picture, you'd realise that those shoes were identical (some of them), but with different colours. If the world was black and white, what was the use coloured shoes? When there were so many choices, you would just get lost...

Star Ferry in TST

This is the Star Ferry. You can take ferry from TST to either Central or Wan Chai here.

sinking sun with a ship

I think it's a little bit too dark. This was taken when we were walking down from Harbour City, the ship was... WASA? I don't think I remember :) The sun was sinking but it was still too bright, it nearly blinded me!

My friends

Po and Yan were really tired when I came back from taking pictures.

Mummy-Long-Leg

Joey Leung in the picture! I became Mummy-long-leg! Haha! I quite like daddy-long-leg I have to confess. Watched the cartoon many years ago (Japanese cartoon), then I bought the book when my English was good enough to read/understand. Most importantly, I learnt the word monogamy, which I determine will be very a very useful word.

Personal Goal

Right, don't tell me you think this picture is a boring one. I think the sky was so blue, the lamp was so lonely... It makes me feel, even though the world is so big, everything has some meaning existing, searching for his/her personal goal... read Alchemist :p

Huh.. I don't know

I don't know what to say about this picture.... Irons meet sky? Hah!

Harbour City - Mirage

This picture was taken in Harbour City carpark. It's a very nice place to see sunrise and sunset (though I have never gone there to see sunrise :p). We saw the view when we were shopping in Harbour City - then we immediately stopped walking around like some silly idiots and went to the carpark. (Shopping isn't one of my favourite, it never will becomes one surely) Since it was a bit foggy at that time, hills farther away looked unreal, just like mirage, you can't reach out for it..
