Plants for teachers

Each year, the Methodist church gives us a small gift as a symbol of respect to our contributions to education. I have received some strange gifts that I didn't like for the last three years. I forgot what the gifts were because every time I received it, I either gave it away to someone at once or put it somewhere and forgot about it.

Surprisingly, the gift was different this year. It was the green plants. I liked it because I myself was planning to buy a plant for my desk. Someone must have read my mind :-) The plants not only promote greening in the staff room but also give lives to the teachers. Why I said that because I feel that the teachers there work day after day from morning till night like a machine. With the plants on their desks, I hope they spare some time each day watering the plants and take a look at them instead of burying their heads in the piles of books on the desk.

An underground trip

I have travelled on Ching Ma Bridge to and fro Chap Lap Kok Airport for many many times. That morning was the first time I travelled under the bridge. It was typhoon no. 8 early in the morning when we saw Alex off on 15th September. The wind was so strong that no cars were allowed on the bridge. I was interested in it only because it was my first experience under the bridge. Besides that, I would rather stay on the bridge to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Birthday Girl

Yesterday was my birthday. The night before I went to Sai Kung with my friends. We went to a very nice restaurant called Anthony Catch. It was quite small but warm. The food there was fantastic. My friend Kwai Kwai nearly gave it 100%. I think I will go there again. This evening I will go to Sai Kung with Peter. Maybe we will try another restaurant. We go there tonight because tomorrow is Saturday and we can stay late.

It was happy to receive the birthday greetings from my friends on the face book. :-)
