A Day in Tsuen Wan

Last night, I went to my uncle's shop in Tsuen Wan District. He gave me a new pair of New Balance (720), so happy, but, they're heavier than my other one. Both of them have cushioning on the bottom for off-road running. Then, at 10:00, we went to Pizza Hut and bought the NEW Cheesy Bites Pizza (well, new in Hong Kong). For all my friends in America, Pizza Hut is so much different from America. The crust on the pizza has melted cheese inside and the facilities are just like a 3-star restaurant. My uncle was so crazy, after we left, he was watching the AC Milan vs. Liverpool game at around 4-5:00 AM (HKT). The score was AC Milan 2, Liverpool 1.

School "Tuck Shop"

Tomorrow, our class will open a "tuck shop" (referred to as Snack Shop in America) as part of our IPC unit on marketing. Yesterday, during school hours, we all went to Park N' Shop and bought all our food (Total: HK$750). I'm in the section in charge of snacks. We're planning to sell:

  • Calbee Chips (BBQ, Pizza, Hot and Spicy)
  • Doritos (Nacho Cheese, Spicy Nacho)
  • Seaweed
  • Dried Phillipine Mangos
  • NEW Lightly Sweet Oreos (not avaliable in America)

All profit earned will go to our school. I hope we don't lose money.

Beach Day '07

On Friday, my school had the annual Beach Day at Shek O Beach, one of the best beaches in Hong Kong (Rated by Water Quality-EPD). It was mostly boring, no swimming, the "red flag" was up. "The ~waves~ are too big" said the beach's staff. They weren't that high, they were only approaching rapidly (every 7-15 seconds). Still, we went into the water, but, we couldn't swim. We played tag rugby on the sand. I also figured out, I was almost the same speed as Quinton while we were racing on the sand. During the 5 hours, I got a minor sunburn, now, so many people think I'm darker now.

Our sandcastle and defence wall was being destroyed by the wave, so we moved it up the beach a bit (Just for interest-I'm in the striped shirt in the middle).
