As you can see from the picture above, the numbers show the temperature in degree Celsius in Hong Kong. You can see that the temperature at the east is lower than that of the west.

Something about the weather
It's quite breezy these days. And Easterly wind dominates, that means the wind is blowing from the East. So, what will happen if we have strong east wind? The east of Hong Kong will be cooler and the west of Hong Kong will be hotter. Why is that so? It's because there are hills (the tallest one is Tai Mo Shan) at the centre of the New Territories which block the wind from blowing to the west and cooling the land.

I found something funny and cool!!!
I was looking at the Government Flying Service Website, as I looked at the aircrafts, I found something very interesting.
Click to this link to view a photo of a Eurocopter (or "Dolphin"), a helicopter used by Government Flying Service. As you move the cursor on the screen, you can see the aircraft laterally.

And here for Jetstream, a double engine aircraft.

And lastly, "Super Puma".

Aren't they cool? Have fun!

Eyes on Me
I really like this song, this is a song sung by Asia diva Faye Wong (you're probably too young to know who she is). This song is also the theme song of a popular game named "Final Fantasy".
Enjoy the song and the lyrics.
Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
did you ever know
That I had mine on you
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if your're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
Enjoy the song and the lyrics.

Sunday Happy Formula
What makes a happy Sunday?
I had a happy Sunday, with ease, grace and enjoyment.
I started my day with a big breakfast. A detailed clean of my pets' cage and I bathed my pets, too. I didn't call up my friend, so I was all on my own. It's up to me to do whatever I like. I chose not to sleep away my Sunday because I think it's a waste of time. Instead, I chose to do things that I normally don't have time to do on weekdays.
I played flight sim X at home, landed a few times without sweat. Then I went out for my yoga class.
After the yoga class I was so hungry, and I felt like having a good relaxing afternoon tea.
So I went to Harbor City, I chose an alfresco cafe and ordered a dessert and a cup of coffee. The weather was good, breezy, foggy and cloudy, so I didn't get sun burnt even though I was outdoor.

St. Sophia Church at Harbin
St. Sophia Church in Harbin is the largest Eastern Orthodox Church in Far East Region.
It was built about 100 years ago (at 1907) by the Russian when they ruled the Chinese city. The word "St. Sophia" means "God wisdom".
This church is in Byzantine style, one of the most recognizable features of Byzantine style is the onion dome.
Outside the church there were people feeding pigeons. I think pigeon and church make very good combination. They both signify peace and love.

Shenyang's forbidden city
Forbidden City at Shenyang (at Northeast of China) ? You may think I'm kidding. No, there are another Forbidden City at Shenyang, I just visited there during Chinese New Year.
Shenyang is the capital city of Liaoning province of China, and it was homeland of the Manchus who ruled China during Qing Dynasty.
The old buildings are still in use now, but is no longer the boundary of the city.
The inside of the palace is almost identical to that of Beijing. The Manchus copied the Forbidden City in China and built it in Shenyang, the first two emperors did stay here but after that other emperors treated it as a holiday palace.
Royal palaces in China has a similar format, red walls and yellow roof. The format here is a little different, note the layer of green tiles below the yellow roof. The green tiles resemble the green grassland, an important root of the Manchus.

My Trip to the Ice City
Hello Everyone~!
How are you? I hope all of you are now prepared for the new term.
Sorry for my late update of the blog, I was traveling during Chinese New Year and when I was back to school I was busy with my new lesson plans.
I'm very excited and happy to share my tour to the Ice City of China with you. During Chinese New Year, I went to the 3 Northeastern Provinces of China (Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning). It was my first time to places like this cold. How cold? Minus 10 to 20 degree Celsius, that means, much colder than the refrigerator at your home!
For so many days we spent, it didn't snow, but we saw snow everywhere. The photo above shows me in a skiing site at Harbin. There I had my first ski experience. I first thought skiing is a difficult sport, after I tried, I just love it! It's not too difficult to ski.
On the 3rd day we visited the Harbin Ice World. There, you can see tall ice castles and ice lamps. It's just BEAUTIFUL! It was the coldest night of the entire trip, I believe temperature there was only -25 degree Celsius. And that was the only time my camera couldn't function well.
It was very cold to step on the snow, normal shoes we wear are not thick enough to keep the cold air from invading into our feet. In order to keep my feet warm, I put a hot bag (the small one you probably put in your pocket during winter) under each of my foot. If I don't do this I can't imagine whether I can stand 2 hours on snow!
I'll share more about my trip in the upcoming blog entries, so stay tuned.
Love,
Miss Nickie
