Kadoorie Farm

Kadoorie Farm is one of the few places in HK I love to visit again and again ...












They put a plate there, calling this 簕杜鵑. Not sure whether it is the same thing my colleague mentions.










The very first time I took a pic of a butterfly. Hope you like it.






There are even plants along a (water) duct.

Hiking around Shing Mun Reservoir

Shing Mun Reservoir is so close to my home.
So, sometimes I don't consider it as "hiking" if I go there for a walk.
But it does take a few hours to walk around it.

And, surprised to find so many BIG white-bark trees here.








Disclaimer: I really don't know this couple.

在橋上

Not quite sure:
how many bridges are there linking Tsing Yi Island with other places?

Anyway, I was jogging on one of them yesterday.

What I saw on the bridge ...
Nina Tower:


(turning around ...) Maritime Square:


(still turning around ...) the various housing estates along the shore:


(and finally ...) Rambler Channel:


Then I reached Riviera Garden, looking back at Tsing Yi Island.


This is an official jogging trail. Looks good wor~.

Pics for Chillis

Worked at home yesterday even though it was a holiday.
After work, I drew a few pics for the chillis.



I got the seeds from different sources.
For the following one:
I was at a Korean restaurant.
Found a slice of chilli in my dish, with seeds.
Wondered whether I could plant them. So, I ...

Where there is a will, ...

J, my runmate, asked me whether it is possible to get to the "seaside".

I didn't know.
I didn't even know how to find out the answer (say, from Internet or from other friends).

So, I took the simple but straightforward way - I went to the site and explored it myself.
The answer is: +ve.
It is just one-minute walk away from the station.

Well, there is a signpost which seems to tell "no admission". But who cares.
One thing to watch out: the track is more for cars than for people. So, do pay attention to cars coming from behind. My personal experience: I ran for around 30mins and only saw one van travelling on the track.

So, here is the starting point:


Looking in the other direction:


If you live somewhere nearby, you may even come here by bus.
Here is the bus stop.

So, happy jogging, as always. :)

Drawing @ Arts Museum (29Aug2008)

Mark and I went drawing again. Oscar, Mark's elder brother, joined us this time.
As usual, Mark and I drew a multi-arm monster (多手怪) as kind of warm-up exercise.
This warm-up is useful.
Mark's multi-arm monster:

Mine:

Then Oscar, Mark and I drew a robot together.
See? Each part of the robot has a very distinct style.

A monster from PokeMon (the cartoon series) by Mark:

A few big paper sheets are mounted on the wall.
You can draw anything you like.

So, these are our works!!!

目送展品離去

好像還是第一次。
第一次看到展覽正在結束，第一次看著工作人員收拾展品。
Alessi在九龍塘InnoCentre的展覽，在最後一天趕到，剛好，剛好目送展品離去。

還來得及看這個：

跟早前來港的Chanel Mobile Art場館同一作者，似模似樣咯所以。
