(Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence) Dear Agape: There is something about your dad I wanna tell you.


A long time ago, your dad and I visited the museum. I told him: "Fred, there is this place I wanna show you. Come."


I said: "Fred, just bring your girl here and keep walking on her left side." The floor was a little slippery, back then.


(It was also quiet.) "You see there is no handrail on the right side. At this point, it's perfect to hold her hand."


After some time, Your dad and I visited this place again. And that was the first time I met your mom.


Your dad wanted me there for a reason. He was absolutely serious about doing that thing right.


But I was sure it'd happen naturally. So I walked way ahead of them, pretending not knowing anything.


And Agape, just in case, if some guy tries to pull this trick on you, tell him to "back off" :-)


Feel like it all happened yesterday. Amazing! Your friend, Uncle B.

Hong Kong Tramways Terminus (Shau Kei Wan)


Right next to the terminal, there is an ultra mini "museum" of McDonald's (Hong Kong).


McDonald's has been here for 35 years :-O


But since there wasn't much to see, so let's go.

Bought this Arduino Nano. With it, I can put my sound related hobby project back on track, hopefully.

City University of Hong Kong


First time to try its canteen, surprisingly not bad.

Going to see the exhibit: “Memories of King Kowloon” at Artistree.


(This way to the entrance) "King Kowloon" (九龍皇帝) (1921 – 2007) was a Hong Kong citizen famous for his calligraphy graffiti.


Generally believed he was, at least slightly, mentally unbalanced. But how can we be sure that he wasn't the only sane person in an insane world?


"Imperial writings" for sure. Not the usual kind seen on the streets...


"Imperial T-shirt," I wonder how much it costs?


Difficult to find his actual writings in the real world these days. The past that does pass.


(A king needs no proof of identity) His life had inspired many things, including a TV drama.


In that TV drama, it had this song: 愛在心內暖 - 鄭少秋 李芷玲 (流氓皇帝 --- 插曲)

"The friend" has given me this: Vintage vinyl record album version of 愛的根源.


Basically thanking me for lending him the remake (and autographed) version of 愛的根源.


Just that it has at least 2 seriously damaged tracks and I don't have a player for it....

This flash game doesn't teach good behavior.


If things are really bad, call the cops.

Just a kind reminder: If you happen to be the bad guy, get yourself better weapon. Don't show up empty-handed.


At least the bad guys should call the cops, since this is really trespassing.

(On my way to dinner with Grandpa.) I remember he was a very well connected person when I was a kid.


Not anymore for a long long time. It took me so long to become curious about what happened back then.


Just the two of us again. And I asked him about his past. This time starting from the 1950s.


(Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, 1950s) He left China for here, and somehow got into a multinational company.


(The food only looked good) He became a friend of the company CEO after he got "fired". (Very strange, but true story)


And how a devastating fire became a turning point in his life. But fast-forward to present day...


He's just a lonely person who had dinner at a highly-rated online but actually poor restaurant with me.


Despite all that, I like the present Grandpa. That's all I need to know now. (強人 - 羅文)

Even though I gave up a hobby project idea, I reuse most of the material for this one.


Let me introduce the core unit of this ant farm project: The ants (total:3).


Putting together a happy meal for Alice...


My Alice in food court/Ant farm project is now finished!


Alice is looking at my fishes. My fishes are looking at Alice.


The ant farm unit can be seen from the back side of the container.


Good night, Alice :-)

Dragon Centre, Sham Shui Po.


I don't come here to do sightseeing...


Empty perfume bottle. You see, I haven't given up on finding it.


Other than that, this is just another typical Saturday afternoon.


Right? (Don't sleep!! I'm talking to you.)
