Visit to Ocean Park - 16.1.2008

Initally I wanna visit Shenzhen instead of the Ocean Park on my birthday (as I have visited the Ocean Park for many times!) But due to cold weather, I go to the Ocean Park today! There are not so many people and I can see a new pair of pandas! Also I like to see sea jelly again!

Beautiful Sea Jelly!

Cute Panda!

Will upload more videos in youtube soon:)

Kai Ping Trip - 1.1.2008 to 2.1.2008

On the 1st day of 2008, I traveled to Kai Ping City in Guongdong Province, China. Kaiping Diaolou and Villages have been recognised as the 1st World Culture Heritage in Guangdong. The owners of the Diaolou are emigrants from Malaysia, Chicago, Canada, Mexico, etc. The Diaolou show the mixture of chinese and western architecture.

I have stayed in Kai Ping City for 2 days and have visited all the main attractions. Kai Ping is comfortable as it is less polluted (when compared with other cities in Guangdong). The Diaolou is worth visiting as it is difficult to find so many Diaolou in other cities in China!

X'mas in Hong Kong

This year I have not been to so many places to take photos. Here are the highlights:) It seems that every shopping malls have x'mas decorations as well! Another x'mas has passed! Until next year!

Christmas Day

Oh a few minutes left for me to leave a message here on a christmas day!

Autograph of Shayne Ward

Autograph session held at 7 pm on 6.12.2007 @ CD Warehouse, Mongkok. There were 200 fans meeting Shayne Ward and receving his autograph! I was one of them:) But I could not take photos with him:( He will be back in early Janauary 2008! Here are the words he said to us!

Shayne Ward @ New Town Plaza

My photos are not of good quality:(

Shayne Ward is the guest for the X'mas lighting ceremony @ New Town Plaza this evening! He sang "No Promises", "Breathless" and "That's OK with u"! So nice to see him again! I have taken videos of these songs but the size of the files are too large to be uploaded on Youtube:(

Shayne Ward comes to HK again!

I have not expected to see Shayne Ward again in HK so soon! I have obtained the pass for the autograph session to be held on Thursday!

Treasures of the World's Cultures from the British Museum

Yesterday I attended the above speical exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. It features over 200 exhibits from the British Museum. There were too many people as it lasts till 2 Dec. I have been to the British Museum but I can have more time to read the descriptions of all exhibits here:) But it is too bad that we need to pay HK30 but it is free for us to enter the British Museum:(

Kewpie Capsule Toy

I am happy to find the above Kewpie capsule toy machine outside 7-eleven! It is really very rare!!! I have got three but it seems that no one likes to have the toy:( Kewpie may not be so popular here?!

VisitBritain Lifestyle Roadshow

Today I visited the Roadshow held in Olympic City. There was UK experience sharing with Chip Tsao, which was real interesting. This was also my 1st time to meet Peter Rabbit in person and take photos with him! Haha

Chip Tsao chatted with a Scottish person living in HK.

Real Peter Rabbit! (but his skin is too dark!)

Remembrance Day in Hong Kong

Remembrance Day Service at Hong Kong Cenotaph, Central

Governor's House - Open Day

I have not been to the Governor's House for a long time! I visited there again this afternoon. There are not so many people as expected! Today is a beautiful sunny day so I can take some good photos! Now it is open to the public twice a year. The next Open Day will be in Spring next year, I think.

Beautiful flower

New CDs

I have not bought any CDs for a long time! 'cas I can't catch up with the lastest music industry:> What I bought on Friday are Westlife's 'Back Home' & Backstreet Boys' Unbreakable'. I am now listening to BSB's new album. Still very BSB's style, easy listening. I have not yet listened to all the songs of Westlife's new album. But I believe their ballads should be great. I don't think it is fair to compare between them though they were said to be "boy-bands'. But they come from different countries and their music is not the same.

Shayne Ward's new album will be released in late November!No need for me to listen to oldies all the time:>

Indigestion

I have suffered from indigestion:( Too much gas in stomach! But I really felt not so well during the last few days:(

Bird view of Paris

Beautiful Paris taken from Eiffel Tower

Chateau de Versailles

During my euro trip, I have joined a local tour and visited Chateau de Versailles in France. It is really very beautiful and impressive. I have taken a number of videos which have been uploaded inYouTube!

Another round of medication

Levicin Tab, Barlodin (Bromhexine HCI + Detromethorphan HBr + Guaifenesin), Pharynx Lozenges, Methorsedyl Syrup. Oh! I feel a bit better and I hope that I need not see the doctor again!

Return from Trip

I have returned from the trip! However, I was sick so I needed to see a doctor. I have not slept well for the past few days as I coughed a lot. I hate taking medicine as this generates many side-effects:( I insisted on taking less medicine but my doctor said that the quantity of the medicine taken had been kept to the minumun: Uni-Ramine DE (syrup), Dexohexine Tablets, Famine Tab, and Augmentin.

I am always determined to make myself stronger and lead a more healthy life but always fails:(

My last nite in London

This is my last nite in London before I depart for Hong Kong tomorrow. This is also my first time to travel with my parents to Europe by ourselves. I realise that they feel exhausted as they are required to walk a lot during the trip! Unlucky that I also get a cold during my stay in Paris:( I need to see a doctor upon my return:( We have not explored Paris in details but Paris is real beautiful! Today we planned to visit Cambridge but eventually we visited Oxford instead. We visited the New College and the Oxford Castle. Tomorrow we shall visit the Kew Royal Garden and the Hyde Park, etc.

Though it is 10:30 pm London time here, I wanna leave a few words here. I shall write more in my next entries.

Lantern Carnival

Today is our holiday and I think that I should go out and take some photos of lanterns as what I have done in previous years! Tonight I went to the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade where there is a display of lanterns in the shape of ten types of creatures, numbering ten in each category to tie in with the 10th Anniversary of the Hong Kong SAR. This is my 1st time going to the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade; you can have wonderful harbour view; however, it is not so convenient for us to reach there.
