My dad and I decided to meet Mr. Gordon. Mr. Gordon asked us if we were free Friday, 26 April, 2013 and if we could meet him at the same place Yuen Long Landmark Plaza at the Pizza Hut at 6:00 pm. But my dad had some assignments to complete. So, we decided to meet on Sunday, 28 April, 2013 at Mr. Gordon’s house at 6:00 pm and order pizza at his resident. My dad said, “I have some assignments to complete. So, you stay at your uncle’s house. After I finish my assignments then, we will go there.” And I agreed. Then, the whole day I was with my uncle. And at around 3:00 pm, my dad phoned me and said to meet him at the Central. So, I got ready and went to the Central. After that we went straight to Hung Shui Kiu at Mr. Gordon resident. When we reached there, my dad also showed me the hospital where I was born, “Tuen Mun Hospital”. I looked at the hospital for a while. Then, my dad called me and we kept on moving towards Mr. Gordon’s resident. At the middle of nowhere, my dad phoned M...

It was the day before Tuesday, 23 April, 2013. When I told my dad that I would like to go out the next day, my dad said that he will be really busy the next day. Then, he said that he will phone my aunt as it’s her holiday. So, he phoned my aunt and asked her whether she was free or not and could take me out. She agreed and my dad asked her to have lunch together then from there he would go to his university and we would go out. Then the next day we had lunch together and my dad went to the university and me and my aunt decided to go for hiking to the top of Hong Kong Peak. We went to the Hong Kong Peak by a tram. While on the tram, my aunt showed me some pictures she took during her visit to different places. I knew that she was a graphic designer because my dad told about her. But I didn’t know that she was also a photographer. She said that it was her hobby to take photos. But, hats off to her skill of taking photo. So, I asked her whether she could teach some basics about ta...

Hong Kong Tuesday, 23 April, 2013 was the last day of my stay with my dad at the Residential College, Kennedy Town. My dad took permission from the authority of the College for stay at the College for 1 week. Usually, the Residential College doesn’t allow any outsiders to stay in the College. You have to be a permanent resident of the College. As my dad is a tutor, he requested the authority and I was given the permission to stay for 1 week, not more than that. I came to Hong Kong on Tuesday, 16 April, 2013. Since then I have been living with my dad in the Residential College. I had a very great time with my dad. We used to stay late at night playing chess. As he is a busy person, first he used to finish his assignment, then, we used to play chess. While he is doing his assignment sometimes I used to use internet in his I-pad, and sometimes I used to read books that my dad brought it from the library. And we used to sleep late at night at around 2:00 am. And I used to get up a...

Mr. Gordon is a friend of my dad. His full name is Mr. Gordon Truscott. They both used to teach English subject together in Pak Kau College. They were both good friends, I believe. Well, Mr. Gordon is a Canadian. He is 55 years old with a bald head at the front. Well, we can imagine how old he is… Also he speaks a lot. But, even though he speaks a lot his many talks are interesting. It was Friday, 19 April, 2013 in the morning when my dad said, “Today, we are going to meet one of my friend and you are going to come with me. I will introduce you with him.” And at the evening we went to Yuen Long Landmark plaza at the Pizza Hut where we met Mr. Gordon. When we went there, he was waiting for us in a corner table. We were escorted to his table by the staffs. We sat down together and I introduced myself to him and vice versa. Then we ordered some pizzas and some drinks. We started talking. Well, actually, he started talking and we were listening to him. He told us that he writes le...

Well it was finally time for the Disney Parade (Flights of Fantasy Parade). After we finished watching other shows, we came to the garden where the Disney Flights of Fantasy Parade was going to be held. It could have taken place a little earlier if the rain had not poured. Well, we waited very long for the parade to begin. Finally, the parade began and we could see them from the other side of the garden. But they stopped at the middle and they were taking a lot of time. In this context, Mr. Gordon said, “I didn’t remember the parade taking so long to come.” Well we were feeling very tired. But we waited. And at last, the parade started moving. And we could see different Disney’s character joining the parade. First was Dumbo the Elephant with some people. And behind them was a marching band playing different types of instrument. After them, some performers were seen performing some acts. And following them was a big ship where Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Pluto ...

After the trip to the Tarzan’s Island, Mr. Gordon and I went to watch the “Festival of The Lion King” at the Adventureland but we were late and were told to attend it at next time period. So, we went to watch the “Stitch Encounter” at the Tomorrowland. Well, guess what?? The staff member said that the show was at the Cantonese language and they asked us to attend the show after 30 minutes. So, Mr. Gordon and I decided to roam around for a while. While roaming around the Resort, we came across three performers. I had noticed them beforehand also. They had been carrying dustbin cans around for quite some time. And those three persons started to perform using the dustbin cans. Well, they were really entertaining the people in their own way. After the performance it was nearly time for the show “Stitch Encounter”. So, we went to the Tomorrowland to watch the “Stitch Encounter” and finally we were in after a long and boring queue. Before we got in we were informed that drinking an...

 Inside look of the MTR I went to visit the Disneyland of Hong Kong with my dad’s friend Mr. Gordon on Saturday April 20, 2013. It was a really different experience for me. Besides, I had a really good time with Mr. Gordon. Also, the Disneyland of Hong Kong is really a worth visiting place. We can reach there by either bus or MTR. But I think the fastest way to get there will be by taking an MTR. If we take an MTR then we will have to change another MTR to the Disneyland Resort. After we got to the Resort, Mr. Gordon took me to the Tomorrowland where we went to the Space Mountain where I rode a rollercoaster. It was a thrilling high-speed journey. The rollercoaster of the Space Mountain was based on the Disney’s character Buzz Lightyear. Then we went to the Astro Blaster based on Buzz Lightyear. There I& Mr. Gordon went on a journey to save the universe from the invasion of the evil emperor Zurg where I beat Mr. Gordon with 304-292. J  After that we went...

16 April 2013 Hong Kong         I spent the first night in the HKU residential colleges with my dad. My dad has a small room that looks to a little mountain over the window. There are many other students from different parts of the world living in the same college. I met a Chinese student probably studying in undergraduate in HKU while on the lift. He said 'hi' to me and I did the same. My dad introduced me to him and said that I would be a guest in the college for a week.
