A new 'era' - no plastic bags

Starts from today, if we go to the supermarkets or chain stores, we have to bring our own shopping bags. If not, we will be charged 50 cents for each bag. I support protecting the environment. I am not very very keen on protecting the environment I admitted, but to a certain extent, I am.

I don't like the idea of taking our own bags to shop because I can reuse the plastic bags from the supermarket for putting rubbish in. I always ask,'What do people use to put their rubbish?' If people do not have plastic bags from the supermarket, they will buy plastic rubbish bags.

So, that is my point. I use plastic bags from the supermarket at least I can reuse them. If I don't have plastic bags from the supermarket, I have to buy plastic bags for only one purpose - to put rubbish in. In this case, we are not protecting the environment by fulfilling the demand of one of the 4 R's of Recycling - reuse. Can somebody work it out for me?

Being nostalgic

The other day I went past Yaumatei area and saw a police station very familiar to me. It seemed I had walked past the front door before. It must have happened long long time ago when I was very small.

Do you recognise this place?

7.1

At 6 o'clock in the morning on 1st July, 1997, there came a scene that would never fade out from my mind. It was raining, the invisibility was very low. An army truck was driving towards me. It was close but not clear. On the truck there were two lines of Chinese Army standing by the sides with their hands holding on the bars. I couldn't see their face clearly but I was sure there was

no facial expressions. It was a sad and unwelcome scene to me. The first group of Chinese Army started to move to Hong Kong from China on the first day of the handover.

This afternoon I joined the 7.1 rally. When I was walking, there was something on my mind. If someone asked me what I walked for, what would be my answer? Yeah, what did I walk for? I did not belong to any group particularly. I walked because I was not happy about the ruling of the SAR on the whole. I walked because I was not happy these twelve years. The government is 'shit' and it has been running by a bunch of incapable idiots with dumb minds. Donald Tsang is a joke. That was why I walked.

Shake hands with your neighbour

I was on the fly over today. It was the stunning scene in front of me.

I wonder how you feel if you live next to a high way. I think Hong Kong is the only place in the world you can see this scene. The flat is so close that you can really shake hands with the people living there while you are driving past :-) Or imagine when you open the window with a huge container right in front of you. It's not funny, it's the reality.

Once I heard an incident, don't know it was a joke or not. A car broke down on a fly-over on Hong Kong Island, where the flat and the fly-over is much closer than this one. The driver knocked on the window of the flat and asked for help. He asked the people in the flat to phone for him. (I think it happened long before mobile phones became popular)

Get ready for the Bun Festival :-)

Can he reach the top?

The coach - she took part in the Bun Festival in Cheung Chau Island.

I took students to do rock climbing today. It was my first time to see a rock climbing facility in an indoor game centre. It reminded me of my stunning experience of rock climbing at Kowloon Peak when I was eighteen. It was much fun and natural.

An inconsiderate example - a disgusting person

This person was sitting very comfortably on the bus. BUT...he was very selfish. He put his legs on the back of the chair of the person in front. He didn't know or care how uncomfortable the person in front feels.

Another sign

Be Mind Your Head!

Does it have the same meaning? :-)
