Cheung Chau Trip - 5.4.2007

On the 1st day of the 5-day long ching ming festival and easter holiday, I have been to Cheung Chau for a day. It only takes an hour to reach there by ferry. This time I had more time to explore this outlying island and tried much local food like red bean cakes and fish balls noodles. However, it was so unlucky that I fell down on a wet rock and hurt my bottom! Now I still feel painful as I think it takes me some time to recover.

Lucky Birthday Number

I have just read an interesting article about Birthday in "Class out" magazine published by the British Council.

Calculate Your Lucky Birthday Number

e.g. Date of Birth is 11/08/1974 [Day -11; Month - 08; Year - 1974]
>Add together all the numbers [11+8+1974=1993]
>Now add the total together [ 1+9+9+3=22]
>Keep adding the totals unitl you get a single digit [2+2=4]
>So, the lucky number is 4
>Any numbers that add up to 4 are also the lucky numbers [13(1+3); 22(2+2)]

My Birthday Lucky Number is 2!

Chilli N Spice

I had Thai leave chicken rice (with cream soda soft drink) from Chilli N Spice in Tsim Sha Tsui during lunch time. The lunch set costed at HK$36 but it was a bit oily. Maybe it caused my stomach not feel well even now at night. Hopefully I am not suffering from Gastroenteritis:(

What a Cold Day

Today is quite cold for us! 11 degrees in the early morning! It has dropped over 10 degrees!

I dare not join Tai Chi class at the park tonite!
