Spring



Today is the 1st of March, spring has arrived already. For me, it is the most unwelcome season. I don't like spring because it is very humid. When you look out of the windows, what you can see is the thick fog. It has very low invisibility. It is miserable and affect people's mood. The changing weather confuse you of what to wear. You might catch cold if you do not put enough clothes. You might feel hot if you wear too much clothes. For old people, the humid weather is dangerous. The floor is so slippery that the elderly would easily fall down. It could be serious if an elderly falls down.

Some people might disagree with me. Lovers like spring because they can walk together in the rain under one umbrella. How romantic! :-) Nature lovers also like spring because it represents the growth of new lives. Leaves grow on trees again. Dry grass turn into green. They make a beautiful scenery. I agree.

What about you?

Car Exhibition


Before watching Top Gear Live, we went to see the car exhibition in Hall 2. There were classic cars, modern cars and racing cars. I have taken photos with some of the cars I like. Lotus is my favourite, it is small and elegant. If I could afford to buy a racing car, Lotus is the first choice. At least, I could reach the accelerator with my foot :-) What about you? Which one do you like?

Top Gear Live in Hong Kong


I went to watch the Top Gear Live today in the HK Convention & Exhibition Centre. The show was fantastic. I could see my favourite presenters Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. The show included driving skills such as drifting, motorcycles riding inside a small iron ball, invented car race, car football and so on. The sound effect in the show was great. I liked car football most. It was so amazing and exciting. The match was England Vs Hong Kong, three cars in a team and Hong Kong won :-)

Marathon 2009

The Marathon 2009 was held today at last. I have been waiting for it. I woke up early in the morning at about 4:10. It was difficult to get up because I could not sleep well last night. I went down to the bus stop at about 4:35 but had to wait until 5:05 when the bus arrived. Just about time to begin when I reached there. The first half of the route was easy. It took me half an hour to reach the turning point. But the next half was more difficult because more up hills to go. I could run all the way without walking. I felt happy about it :-) I was a little bit faster than last time but still not too happy with the result. I thought I could finish it ten minutes faster than last time but it was only one minute faster I believed. My two knees are aching now :-(
After the ten kilometres run was the half marathon. I was admired those runners for running such a long distance. I don't think I can do it because my knees won't let me :-(
Although it was a tiring run (for me ), I was happy to be there and felt the atmosphere. It was like a big carnival in Victoria Park.

Dragon invaded a Chinese restaurant





When I was having Yum Cha in a Chinese restaurant yesterday, a dragon danced in. The boys were greeting the customers Happy Chinese New Year and asking for lai see at the same time. Everybody seemed happy about it.

The cheapest cable car ride!

How much is a ride on a cable car? THREE DOLLARS (HK or Mop) a round trip. How long is the trip? I think... it is about 400 metres.
Where is it? Guess where:-)
