| | What have I been doing these days? Checking emails, watching movies, talking on the phone, reading, sleeping, it's really nothing special. The most interesting thing I did was to explore the city that I've been living for almost all of my life. Sounds really strange, huh? It's really a bit shameful that I scarcely know anything about other places besides the places where I live and go to school When I did go to somewhere more far away, I am with my parents/friends, which means that I don't have to really know that place + how to get there. Aiyaya...I carried out what Wesley advised me to do, to explore HK without using the MTR (it's an underground train in HK that can easily take me to whereever I want to go). It's great that I did it....with my mum following me for the first 2 days and by myself for the third day (which means I had to become a 'runaway daughter' on that day). My parents concerned so much about my safety...Here is an interesting conversation.
Father: 'well...I know your mum is so bored to be at home. Take her with you, don't leave her at home, be a good daughter who takes care of her mum, balabelebala......'
Mother: 'See how he sacrifices me for you...(I thought she understood that I wanted to go by myself) Yup, I'm really bored, show me where you want to go, bilibalabilibala....'
They are really a perfect match Before I went to sleep, my mum would ask me, 'where will u go tomorrow?' Ya, I know what u want to do next. Before the third day came, I kept my mouth shout about my plan (I actually did not have a plan), and she knew that I 'aspired' to go by myself. Guess what she did. She hid my purse!!!!!!!Guess what I did. I took some money from her purse the next day. (I am really a bad egg) She called me when I was 10 minutes away from home. Of course she asked again about my whereabouts, and of course I pretended to be ignorant and walked away as fast as I could! 'I was about to hide my own purse also! Should have done it!' It made me laugh so much! In order not to make her too worried, I did tell her where I was in the middle of my journey. It's really funny to be defiant at my age Deep in my heart, I was so moved by my parents' love for me. They really care soooooooooo much about me. I'm going to have lessons in Sydney for two months (7/10 - 3/12), and my father already asked me to call him at least twice per week. Thank you God, for giving me such good parents From them I could really see love which is from you  !!
Here are some pics that I took in my 3-day journey:
Sai Kung (eastern HK)
'Newspaper' boat in a park in SK (a design that won an award)
Wong Tai Sin (northern HK, a place where I haven't been before)
A Cafe where I sat down and read. (This is sth I really enjoy )It's a cafe that is above the ground floor inside a residential building. There are more and more 'above ground floor shops' in HK as rent is cheaper there.
