The Peak & Ocean Park

I haven't written for a while. Was totally occupied by university stuff: assignments, classes and, of course, exams! Hopefully I will keep up with the habit of writing :) (and taking pictures too!)

Po, Yan and I went to the Peak at the end of July - against my own will - which it turned out to be quite enjoyable!



It was really hot and misty that day but, I was glad to be out (haha, I weren't caged!) and walked around with my best of friends.



I like this picture, I like the blue, I like the harbour, I like the traces left by those ships, ferry and cruises; I like those tall buildings, I like the sky.



and the sunset of course :)

At the beginning of August, I managed to go to Ocean Park with Michelle and Vivian! I had an exam in the middle of Aug!



The weather was of course superb, and it was way to hot. Those tourists were unbelievably rude, I was really pissed off after my bottle of water got stolen. Ah. Seriously, I don't want to go to places where there are full of Chinese tourists.



This was the best picture I've got of the day :D



Just a picture of us girls.



I've taken so many pictures of jellyfish, wah, they were so beautiful..... this is just one of them :)



Joyce joined us afterwards and we went to the 'water world'. Wah. Those kids just shot us with their water guns, Poor Vivian and Michelle got their snickers & converse all wet! I looked really annoyed, I was so wet! Damn those kids!

Book Fair

Went to Book Fair last night, it was the first time ever I went there on my own, it was almost like an adventure! I realised I'm more and more independent since I'm hanging around pretty much all by myself happily these days. It's a good thing, by the way :)

Check out what I've got in the Book Fair:



1) I am the messenger (wow, I've been searching this book for quite a while, last night when I saw it among a bunch of other books, alone, shining, my luck baby, I just had to grab it and never let go, haha!)

2) The Thirteenth Tale (actually I saw this for a couple of times in different bookstores around, I got this in Book Fair with 20%, so it's worth it!)

3) The Intellectual Devotional - Chinese version (well, this book I got rather randomly, quite an interesting read, yey!)

4) It's a b.wing card, wah, just so beautiful! I dare not tell my mum I bought it :p It's $75, just for the card!

One last item, I have to smile from my heart, this one:



It's a bag with a Cantonese slang (not exactly slang I'm afraid, but whatever), which means "as slow as a turtle (in term of speed that is)", haha, it's just so Joey-like! So slow! I'm lovin' it!

Being a good daughter, I even got 2 books for my lovely, cute mum, but well, you know, showing off is not my thing, so... HAHAHAHA! (Right, I'm just too lazy to take a picture, forgive me!)

Anyway, I really had a great time walking around anywhere I wanted to, oh, I even managed to meet Michelle and her parents then :) Didn't see them for so long...! They are as good as new, so good :D

Have a nice weekend, my friends!

P.S. My friend Scott said "Practise some guitar, Joey, don't read, you CAN read, practise some guitar!" haha, he's so lovely :)

Earrings

Yesterday went to HKCEC with Yan for the annual Jewellery Show, the company Po's working for got a little booth there. She said they've got some totally priceworthy jewelleries selling, so, there we went!

It's not allowed to take pictures but still I managed to take a picture with the help of Po.



The design of this ring looks like a UFO! Very funny! All those rings are too big for my chubby little fingers... so I've got myself a pair of silver earrings :D For a lovely present to mum, I bought her a pair of super beautiful earrings with some diamonds, some gemstones and some pearls on them :) She carefully keeps it and says will only wear them on special occasions.

Windmill

Eh, for my birthday, we went to Lamma Island (wah, I'm a Lamma-lover!), we didn't get the chance to see the newly built Windmill, so we've got our chance :D



I wandered off while Po and Yan were eating the famous Lamma 'To Fu Fa"...



Was testing my camera, the 'leave-waves' looks like sea waves!



on our way to the windmill...



Oy! The legendary windmill on little Lamma!

Macau 07

For Yan's birthday this year, we went to Macau. It was hot, crowded and not fun at all! So many tourists (gamblers probably?!) walking around, speaking Mandarin so loudly and noisy was.. almost unbearable.



Obviously, Macau's becoming a BIG competitor for our tourism business! The Macau government knows it too well about their strength as to develop their already bursting gambling business, new casinos everywhere to be seen!


(the Fisherman's Wharf)

I'm not gonna go to Macau again in 10 years time.

Experimental pictures

This is an experienmental picture, taken out of curiosity how it would turn out... I don't like chrysanthemum despite its simplicity.. and its horrible smell!

It's just a stupid picture of my feet :p Marine Police on the right...

Drying up my kitten :)

That is my lovely kitty, she took a shower yesterday :D

Actually she is an Angora though she's short hair now :p well, you see, it's summer and even I, with shoulder-length hair, think that long hair is quite unbearable (for summer, and for summer only!), needless to say for a cat! So then, my lovely mum decided to give her a haircut, HAHA! She has short hair from time to time :D

How do you like her?

Singapore, Here I come!

Obviously I had my chance going to Singapore in Easter... Singapore is actually quite cool :)

Pictures!



So many flavours of Yakult! I can't believe we've only got ONE flavour! Goddammit! Shame was we never tried them when we were in Singapore....



For our first meal we went to a famous Indian food court (according to Po and Yan, I never managed to read the materials), food was cheap. But overall, I don't think food in Singapore were as cheap as told!



My favourite! A really lovely picture! There was this ambulance parked outside of this Indian restaurant and there was a woman (She's from South Africa) eatting inside the restaurant :) So, actually she wasn't the driver :D I showed her the picture afterwards, she was amazed :)



Famous Kampong Glam, the only thing I don't like is... the NO VISITORS sign right outside of the gate.



Po took this picture :) Extraordinary!



Beautiful weather.... bad exchange rate..



Scott with the typisch "Victory" sign, haha! Hongkie you!



Last but not the least... the beautiful nightview of Singapore! I won't say it's more beautiful than Hongkong's but surely it's nice! Thanks to our Malay friend who showed us around in the evening!

Good night to you all...

New Plan..t!

Hey look, I never had any plant before... but now I have the very first one for the first time in my life!

It's a beautiful plant, you can see it quite often actually.. it's a "Holland Fittonia Plant Asst". I got it in Ikea today while shopping with mum :)

New Start for 2007!

Isn't it beautiful?

Trip to Guilin

During my Christmas holiday, I went to Guilin, China with mum alone. It was a great trip if we didnt cheat by those 'oh-hongkongese-are-gullible' Guilinese tour guides!

Mum and I finally got up to this mountain and mum was so emotional that she nearly cried :) Oh, she said she loved my dad in this little video that I taped, haha! Chinese can be openminded!



Those 4 cute kids were there too up in the mountain! One of them actually watched the little video I made and couldnt help laughing along - even though he didnt understand our language :) Sometimes language is not a barrier at all if you're as nice as I'm! haha!



It really was a beautiful place!

Contrast :)

This actually is a very funny picture, the contrast is pretty strong, notorious Yan at the back and nice me in front, haha! There were so many people visiting Gothenburg already, the pier was packed with people! Made me dizzy!

I'm definitely a sandal person!

Vessel Gothenburg

This is a huge vessel called Gothenburg which was haboured in TST. It was the first time in my life to see such a huge vessel/replica, and it's from Norway! We didnt go early enough that day to get tickets for a short 'sightseeing' trip inside though, I'd love to!

Right after...

Right after I had my haircut today I headed home. While I was idling on the upper of the double-deck bus, I noticed the beautiful sunset of even day.

It was the bloody red... such a beautiful day on a warm November. Shame I didnt even go to Po's home to play PS2!

Then I bought 6 eggtarts home :) Do you wanna try them? They are quite tasty... Come to Hong Kong!

Holland

The last destination of our trip ended in Holland. Holland in my mind is vivid, very colourful! I love Holland!

Germany

There are just sooooo many pictures in Germany... enjoy... hehe

Europe Trip

Hmmm. Finally I picked some pictures from our Europe trip... enjoy!
(ah, you can click on the picture to see the next)

Austria

Belgium

Yan and I

Yan looked rather silly... haha, she's all tan now!

I've got chocolate-like hands and sunburnt on my back!

Ioana and George

With Ioana and George... you can always feel the sweet atmosphere around them! I envy them, I guess :p

we human....

It's Ioana and her colleague/friend John-Phillip, well, I am not sure if I spellt his name right :p He's from France, got a degree in fitness :p Really no comment on that!

It's beauuuuutiful

It is worth all the pain I suffer! It looks so super unreal... it made me wonder how would it look like in heaven (if it exists)?

Eek, it's a bug.....

Yuck! It's a disturbing one, did you even see its spikes?! You see a lot of small creatures when you hike if you look close enough... can't say I appreciate seeing it, but it's not too bad knowing we have that kind of bugs...... no matter how ugly they look.

Red locust

It's a cicada, a.k.a. a locust! I think the name 'cicada' is really cool! Very exotic, haha. It was the first time ever to see a locust in red... was a rather small one and not really scared of human! I got real close to it but it was just there, not moving any inch..

Blue Dragonfly!

Went hiking... oh gosh, it was 'up is the only way'! So crazy, I was half dead when I got back down.

First time in my life seeing a BLUE dragonfly!

Good weather!

Didn't write anything or take any pictures for a while.

Anyway... this picture looks quite beautiful, pity I am not in a good mood...

The Peak - the end of the day

We got lost a few times in those mountains (we dare not call for help, we didn't want others say we got lost even in Hongkong! Crazy heh?)! We walked to the other path to some other unknown mountains... luckily we got to talk to a guy who was so good to show us the way! The darkness came quite quickly as in early spring, I couldn't see even my friends faces even though they were walking beside me, we talked about our teeth and what toothpaste we should use in order to lighten up our teeth so that they would be visible even in the dark (like in ads), haha!

Anyway, there we are! Tired and hot!!

The Peak - On a Tree

Discovered this lovely tree while we were hiking, had a lot of fun taking pictures on the tree.

I think I am really good at climbing trees :D

The Peak - Pretty Girls

I took a good picture of my friends (on the tree). I personally think that they are pretty in this picture!

If there's anyone who wants me to take your picture, please tell me! I'd do it for free! haha~

The Peak - the nice weather

Weather was quite fine! It looked like some marshallmallow and made me hungry... Anyway, spring finally comes! Cheers!

The Peak - Hong Kong Castle

It was taken in the Peak, looked like a castle in hills :)

Po said we couldn't afford renting an apartment up there, it costs more than the total of our salaries... I don't mind living up there provided that I could drive :p

The Peak - View of Hong Kong

To those of you who don't know - I am a Hong Kong lover! haha! Po, Yan and I today decided to go hiking after such a cold (not really) winter! HK is poluted as you can see (annoying smog)... but, it's still a lovely city!

Actually, the wind was pretty strong (when I say it's strong, I really mean it's strong) and cold. I wasn't quite warm enough, but I did have a good time :)

Show off!

Yey! I love showing off! I learned some Photoshop techniques by which I made a barcode as my 'signature', plus lately I discovered an old (but useful) software which allows me to make 'picture frames', so I am now, officially, showing off! Ho!

Picture was taken when I was on a bus few days ago. It was in Kwun Tong. Just a snap shot though.

Note: To whosoever wants to beat me up, sorry, please don't, I am just a victim of the high-tech world! :p (I am glad my comment function is not working!)
