Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Hi Everyone!
How's Christmas? Lots of food and going-out? I have been attending a lot of gathering with friends and family members. Christmas is a good time for you to do what you normally don't have time to do. For me, it's a good time to read, to meet friends who are very busy and to talk to my chinchillas.

I guess the first reaction you have when you see the picture below is "wow~! It's cute!". Ha ha! That's why I love them so much.

When it gets cold, the 3 of them always get together like this to give each other some warmth. I feel a lot of love and care in them whenever I see them getting stacked like this. So, next time when you feel really cold sitting at home or on the street, hug your daddy and mummy to share some warmth, I'm sure you'll be warmer, and your parents will get warm in heart, too!

Beautiful Views at Ma Wan

I always say I like the environment in the school, and YES, I mean it. Just look at the picutres below, I took these pictures in an evening in November just outside the teacher's room. I'm not a very good photographer, and I did not edit the photo, the beautiful scene just comes naturally.
I appreciate the amazing combination of the setting sun, the marshmallow clouds, the changing color from blue to red, the bridge, the mountain and the good mood I have. Happiness can come in such an easy way, and it's totally free of charge. So, I can say you're very lucky to come to this school to study and have this wonderful views surrounding you.

I know there is a common saying in Chinese, "being satisfactory brings you happiness", I think it's true. We can have a lot of toys, a very big house, a maid to take care of us, a lot of pocket money to spend, a lot of good food to eat, but, money can't buy happiness. Sometimes, living in a simple life and appreciating the beautiful things around you can simply make you happy. So try it today, try to appreciate the good things around you, and you'll feel calm, joyful and satisfied.

The Beautiful Moon River

This song is my recent favorite, it's "Moon River" by Lisa Ono.

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.




This song was sung by Audrey Hepburn at her movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

I hope you enjoy the song.

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.
