Old McDonald Had a Farm...

and so we went to Kandoori Farm.


My mother decided that it would be fun to get out of the city and get some fresh air. So, we went to a conservation center and farm in the new territories of Hong Kong. I actually went to Kandoori farm before when I was in 3rd grade for a school trip but I suppose things change after so long. There was defintely a lot more trees than in the city. The orchids and the butterflies were beautiful. The owls and the flamingos were also very awesome. It was also extremely clean for a farm and conservatory. We bought some fresh farm eggs which was pretty cool (I have yet to try some). Lots of greenery and unpolluted air. Too bad we didn't get to see too many animals. I chicken coop was fended off because of bird flu concerns but I did see a gigantic pig.

I guess the most exciting part of the day was when my mother let me borrow her dslr camera. I've been waiting to hold that puppy since she got it. And, I finally convinced her to let me use it for day. It felt good. It is actually quite sad that I enjoyed playing around with the camera more than looking at the plants at stuff. Sorry powershot, I still love you though.

Had to take a picture of the wild boar. Besides from the stuffed (dead? I know there is a word for it but I forgot) mascot at the X at Choate, I never actually saw one before. It was actually quite interesting...all it did was walk back and forth in the same area.

Doesn't this big look pregnant? Contrary to popular belief, it is a he and he is not pregnant. Just huge.

More to come. I'm so excited to play around with this photos. I feel like a kid who just got a bunch of new baseball cards (shhh...I do love my topps cards).

Lately...

 A personal artist in the household. hehe.

• I'm home but I have been a bit under the weather since I returned. The humidity and the heat really doesn't bode well. 
• Obsessing over the big bang theory. I can't believe I didn't realize how funny it was before. 
• I have been update with the results of dancing with the stars. I can't believe Katherine didn't win the trophy. Shes amazing.
• Eating all the food that I could consume. If you ever want to join me for a delicious cup of hong kong style milk tea, let me know. 
• I got to play with my mother's dslr! ahhhh, I can't believe she let me mess with it! (An upcoming post to the farm will come soon) It felt good.
• Shopping. I think its time to purchase some work appropriate clothing. 

As We Go On...

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

I miss the time when I put that song on repeat. I suppose this is an appropriate occasion to bring it back. I shall explain my MIA in another post. But, this is really to more of a celebratory post. This post is dedicated to my awesomest and dearest roommate as well as friends who closed one chapter of their lives and opened another.

Congratulations Hang! 

you did it, mumzie! I can't believe its been 2.5 years since I met you and time passed so quickly! Anyways, I hope that you found your 4 years of college fulfilling enriching. I know it hasn't always been easy for you but I'm really happy that you made it through! I'm extremely thankful for all the times that we had together. Thank you for being such a great friend and supporter! I'll say more in a card because it'll probably be extremely awkward to write it all out here. I'm really happy for you and hope that you'll have an amazing time in France in the fall.

and also...

CONGRATS NANCY, YANG and everyone else who graduated !

It's been awesome getting to know the both of you over the past two year or so. I hope your endeavors in the future will be a blast!

I have got a couple more pictures but I'm trying to clear up some of the spots and photoshop isn't really working with me at the moment. I also messed with some of the pictures because the sun was messing with the photograph. I'm desperately trying to figure out how to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

In the mean time, have a wonder rest of the week!

An Interesting Watch...

I think this is extremely interesting. Usually, I don't like to talk about my identity but I guess this opens up a lot of thinking for me. I feel like I have spent a great deal of time growing up with kids like these in primary and middle school. Somehow, I guess I find myself kind of being in their situation though my parents was never really there physically. Though I was born and spent a great deal of my childhood in the same place, I somehow find myself relating to the culture that is described in this documentary.

What an interesting watch.
