About Whale Shark

Yesterday I watched a documentary from Discovery Channel, it's about moving a giant whale shark from Taiwan to Atlanta, USA. How do you move such a big fish to such a far away place within a day? The answer is obvious, it's by plane.

But moving a whale shark is not as easy as you take the airplane from Hong Kong to USA. You must keep it in a water tank, you must make sure it has enough oxygen in water to breath and make sure the water will not get too dirty that it kills the whale shark at the end of the journey.

The two whale sharks were caught by Taiwanese fishermen and, by the courtesy of the Taiwan Government, they could be transferred to Georgia Aquarium, the biggest aquarium in the world and live happily there after.

Whale shark is the biggest fish in the world. It can grow up to 45 feet long! It's an endangered species, so we must keep the ocean clean to save this beautiful animal!

What's your favorite cartoon character?

What's your favorite cartoon character? I have a lot of "favorites" but I think I like Stitch the most. The picture above shows my little Stitch working in front of my computer at home. Some of you may have noticed that I have a Stitch watch.
Except small little stuff toys, I like big plush, too! Whenever I see these walking cartoon characters, I'll rush over with my camera and take photo with them. They're very good to hug! It feels like hugging a big big stuff toy!

In that occasion I met the Teletubbies, too. The four of them are just bubbly, energetic and funny! They liked playing with me and they danced all the time, they just danced non-stop! I didn't really like Teletubbies before, but when I met them, I found them really cute and lovely!
So, what's your favorite cartoon character?

Different Airplanes

Over the last weekend, I was busy with aircrafts. On Saturday I went to Zhuhai for the aviation expo. One bad thing is that I missed the massive Airbus 380, it left on Friday afternoon after an air show. I was so disappointed, but I wasn't too unhappy because I could still see other aircrafts. Like the one on the above picture, they're the Indian Air Force, they do aerobatics. It was a good show.
On Sunday afternoon, I went to the airport to see aircrafts. I was quite excited because I saw my favorite B-KPF on the parking bay when I went to the airport. I waited until almost 6pm when it departed from Hong Kong to New York JFK Airport. You can see a mini B-KPF on my desk. It has a livery of "Asia's World City". It's the famouse Boeing 777-300ER.

On Sunday morning I visited the Sek Kong airbase. It is a military airbase so it's not easy to visit there. I went there because I went with the Hong Kong Aviation Club. Behind me you can see a small aircraft.

Is it an airline in Hong Kong?


You see, it's a small aircraft with "air Hong Kong" printed on it. You may think, "air Hong Kong"? I have never heard about it before! Well, you don't easily have a chance to take air Hong Kong, unless you're a cargo, or you're the pilot of their aircraft!
air Hong Kong is Hong Kong's only all-cargo airline (that means they only carry cargo, no passengers). It is co-owned by Cathay Pacific and DHL. It only has small aircrafts, which are all Airbus 300-600F. Its main destinations are cities in China, Southeast Asia and Japan.
I think I saw air Hong Kong this morning when I was in the school, I saw its yellow and white belly. So next time, when you look up to the sky and you see a small aircraft with a yellow and white belly, it may be our air Hong Kong.

Miss Nickie = Emily the Strange??

One day, I had a teacher telling me that I look like a character in a boutique. At that time he couldn't recall what character it was. A few days later, he told me that the girl is called Emily, and a few more days later, I had another teacher telling me that I look like Emily the Strange too.

I know about Emily the Strange long ago from a boutique store. I searched www.wikipedia.org and found out that she's a fictional counterculture character. She is a 13-year-old girl who has very pale complexion (that means her face is very white). She has black hair, and wears a black dress and black tights. Yes, she's all black.

You can also see 4 cats with Emily, they are Sabbath, Nee-Chee, Miles and Mystery. If you want to know more about Emily the Strange, you can always google it and find her comics.
