Lamma Island - 2

Further to the previous post, more photos I want to share here.

my dream house...( the blue one..)

The herbal land..

Lamma Island, HK

There are several outlying islands in HK. Lamma Island was the one I visited today, I could get there in 20 mins from the central business district. It's a place far away from noise and people ( comparatively fewer people ), but with peace, green and comfort. Therefore, many foreigners are living here and commuting to work by ferry everyday. This is one of my dream living place in HK as well. When you walk around Lamma, you simply feel that here's a rare place that hasn't been " polluted " or " urbanised "..fishermen are still working here, so this island is famous for its fresh and delicious seafood. A herbal land can be found here, two gentlemen in their early thirties, gave up their job in city and back to the countryside to work in farm, they said this is the life they are pursuing. Babies here, are walking with bare foot.. and smile happily.. Also, I saw hundred and thousand of doggies today...this island is full of babies and doggies...

Roses I saw when walking by...
This cute boy walked with bare foot...I had no idea why he picked up the flowers..
haha..can you see the doll at the back of the bike....alike the girl...haha
Time to back home...
The pier

Spring is coming?

Is spring already in your town?I think spring visits HK now.

Vivienne Westwood - A life in Fashion - in HK

The exhibition of " A life in Fashion " featuring Vivienne Westwood is shown in HK lately.

I still can remember that Westwood gave an flash solid image in most youngster mind of her accessories and handbags in a sudden moment, this was the year 2002. I could find nearly every single girl possessed some items from ear rings to bags of Westwood. At that moment, not many of us knew that she has her own collections for 20 years already.

After visiting this show, I came to realise that the success of Westwood is not all by sudden, she already in the fashion industry for almost 28 years. She really gets her own styles, except I thought she has some shadow of Chanel in her dresses in some collections.

In her younger age , I can see her design was largely affected by her second husband - a rock and roll band singer, therefore contributed to something with inclination to rebellious . Her later design was greatly influenced by art and drawings from Victor and Albert Museum in London, they became more elegance, like the corsets and evening dresses.

In the entrance of the exhibition, a quote is shown on the wall.
" I have a kind of in-built clock which always reacts against anything orthodox. " Vivienne Westwood.

Hope to see more exhibitions come to HK.

Stopped by an Art Gallery ..in coincidence

For the continuous one-week holidays, I decided to take a walk outside and tried to find something interesting ( slept a lot these days )

First, I went around a flower market, and buy some fresh flowers, this time, the above pink flowers were my choice. Oh..they remind me of the agnes b's flower bouquets is always my favourite.

Then, I stopped by an art gallery, which is mainly showing photography. The two photos on the wall which capturing colour- circles caught my attention, they are very familiar to one of Daniel's work. And, I was wondering how these photos could be taken. ( I know Daniel's one was all by accident :) ) Unfortunately, this gallery was close yesterday, I will be definitely check it out again next time.

Have a great weekend!

Back to HK

Here is Wan Chai in HK. Like the green building..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DENNIS!

I hope you are going to have a great year with lots of wonderful experience ahead!!
It can be deeply believed that you are getting much more smart after 2009. And, 2010 would be another year to celebrate your fruitful gain in 2009!

Speaking of birthday, a Mcdonald party was hold last week for my friend's birthday. Here in Hong Kong, I hereby would like to dedicate this full-of -smiles photo to our birthday guy- Dennis:)

I don't know if anyone of you have once attended a birthday party in Mcdonald, it's quite popular for some parents to organise such activity for their kids ( under 10 ) birthday. Celebrating a birthday in Mcdonald is like a wish for most kids in HK. Last week, we had a big kid's bday to remedy his missing of such party when he's still a " real kid "!! And, the Mcdonald staffs just treated us as kids, and played serveal games with us. hahaha..

Anyway, have fun!!

On Friday night...dined out with friends

On a relaxing Friday night after one-week work, what activity is better than dining with friends. This time, we decided to go to a Chinese restaurant serving very local dish. Do you wanna try? haha..i miss the orange dish very much..but if I tell what is it. It would be probably scare you off. hahaha..
After our dinner, we sat somewhere in a shopping mall. Yes, there are lots of 6-7 storeys shopping malls in HK. You can buy what you want in a very concentrated area.

Wondering around..

On the top, the city flower of HK.
The police station in british style.

My living place

On my way home today, I randomly took some photos, and would like to show you how my living place is. I has been living here for almost 16 years. You can see those tall buildings where my home is.

A corner in HK

Here is the common corners you can see in some old districts in HK. With residential and commercial area mix together, this is considered one of the busiest districts in HK. I am going to take my french course here. You can find mostly chinese restaurants, I am wondering if those french teachers already get used to chinese foods.

Stanley: Day and Night

( I was sitting on the embankment,facing the sea.)



( St. Stephen's beach, at night )

Stanley is located in the south of HK, is blessed with the good location facing South China Sea, a beach is here. I like to come here when I need to refresh myself, sometimes I spend the whole afternoon to read a book under the gentle sea breeze and the sound of sea weave. People also love to have a beer at the bars alongside the sea coast. I am dreaming of buying a house here, however, it costs a hundred million HK dollar,totally insane!
