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!
