Tai Mo Shan (Foggy Mountain)

I didn’t write for a while again, my reason for this is that, there are so many things going on in my life at the moment.  I can’t complain about it, life is still very beautiful!  Right now I’m sitting on the balcony, hearing the sound of the running tap water, the sun was shining right outside - the rain has gone, the sky is as clear as crystal.

 

Po, Yan and I had been real lazy, we didn’t manage to hike at all over the pass couples of months.  It was on 9 May, when the sun was shining and the humidity in the air had finally evaporated under the mildly warm sun, it meant we had to go out.  Here we came, Tai Mo Shan :D

This is the beautiful and hilarious trio.  Joey the fly, Po the mask, Yan the Beatles lover.  (Note: The Swineflu didn’t even attack Mexico yet - that is crazy Po with her fake cold!)

Just in case you’re wondering what happened… I assure you, I was wondering about the same thing too.  With Yan running towards me with her distorted face and HK Po *yeahing* at the back.  What a beautiful picture!  (Actually I amaze at how energetic we really are!)

I bet Po would force me to post a really beautiful (and feminine) picture of her just so she could clear her name.  HEY! SHE’S MY VERY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND!  DON’T YOU DROOL OVER HER!

 

Tai Mo Shan (Foggy Mountain) really was breathtaking!  I was stunned when I saw the view.  I didn’t even know we had such a beautiful plain here in Hongkong!!!!!  The last time when I saw such a plain was when I was in Germany then.  As the name suggests, there is *forever* foggy, no matter how clear the weather is - trust me, it’s not because Hongkong is *forever* smoggy :p  Being the highest mountain here, of course it’s crazily windy… and chill.

 

3 pictures taken on the mountain.  Aw, suddenly I miss the mountain!  (Fact #1: Po went back to the mountain top the week after this, she was smart!  I want to go back again too!)

 

*warning: I’ll be posting extremely funny pictures here, if your heart is not up to the excitement, please stop reading.  Thanks*

Hahahaha this is very Po-typical picture!  HAHAHAHAHAH!  She’s the Kungfu Master, I tell you that!  We, every Chinese, can do Kungfu!  Huh!  Don’t you look down on us!

Well… we’re still young and imaginative, we love “dirty” snacks :D  For the sake of carving my beautiful image inside of your head, I decided to NOT post all those thousands of crazy posing pictures of us girls here.  Sorry but you have to be in the exclusive club (which only contains 3 members, bye bye)!

When you laugh too much after posing crazy poses… this is how you’re gonna look when others took your picture!

My friends had done a great job to entertain me that day… this is the final picture I’m gonna show in this entry, as you can see… hey, Po is not crazy :)  She won’t just beat anyone up, you’re pretty safe!

Holga pictures

Finally I got my Holga pictures from the traditional photo store (the one in Yau Ma Tei).  Those stores are being ‘wiped out’, people use digital cameras now - too many really and we hardly develop pictures, er, not for me.  I love *real* pictures.

It shocked me, when I got them. 

They sucked.  My pictures sucked!

Overexposed, underexposed, out of focus, shaking… here are some of my first-attempted Holga pictures.

These were supposed to be good pictures among the lot…. hm, I guess they are not as good as I’d wanted.

Haha, one of the best!  Flowers!  Could you imagine!

These pictures didn’t turn out quite as what I had in mind…. Hmmmmm.

I can’t quite manage the skill just yet.  I’m giving myself 3 cartons of films to do whatever I want to with my toy camera.  I am sure it’d be fun.

Right now I’m working on a project.   Hold your breath and wait for my upload in the future!
