Trip with my aunt

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 taking photos. And she agreed with me. Later we got off the tram and then, we went to the Hong Kong Peak by catching another tram to the top of the Peak. The road was so steep to the top of the Peak. When, we reached to the station, we got off the tram. Then, we moved on to the Peak. After a while we were at the top of the Hong Kong Peak. There we could see many buildings of Hong Kong. In fact, we could see Hong Kong from up there. Well, it was such a great view from up there. Then, she took out here I-pad and started clicking some photos. Then she showed it to me. Well, I was speechless. She confessed that she could have taught me how to take photos if she had brought her camera with her. But she didn’t know that I was going to ask her. Nevertheless, she managed to teach me a little something about photography. Instead of that we also took photos of each other at the top of the peak. After a while, we came down the peak by tram.

Then we went to the Hong Kong Park where there was a sanctuary for different types of birds. She decided to go there. When we reached there, it was too late. The sanctuary was closed. The sanctuary opened from 9 am- 5 pm and we reached there at 5:10 pm. Man… it was just 10 minutes difference. Then we went down the park where I saw a place where marriage takes place from time to time. I also saw a pond where many types of fishes lived in. Then we rested there for a while.

After that we went to sail at the ferry. We bought the tickets and we went in the station. After the ferry arrived, we got into it and started to sail. From the ferry we could see many other big and small boats and ferries. We also saw the sun setting down the ocean. Then, we clicked some photos of the sun and of the various ferries. After we got off from the ferry, we went to an island where statues of different actors were built there. I took photo with Bruce Lee’s statue. There were also statues of other equipment of shooting picture. The most interesting was that there were statues of the director sitting in a chair and a producer shooting with a camera. It was such a nice statue.

After that, I and my aunt had dinner and I returned home and my aunt returned as well. It was so much fun going out with my aunt. I hope someday we will go for a trip again and that time you might bring your camera along with you. So, thank you for giving me such a wonderful time. After I returned home, I slept a very good night sleep..

I Dream!

Secured future is not that I dream of.   To travel across the land, To meet and interact, To explore and see, See through the many eyes. To capture a story and Send it knocking at the doors, So that folks can have something to read with a morning cup of tea. To meet the star-crossed lover, Experience a timeless love, And recreate a new Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. To picture a portrait of aging time, As people retell the name and fame. Ends a heroic tale of the teller in a slumber of life. In my sound slumber, I dream........ -Tong Man

Recipe For A Sound Slumber??

Image
Get up early. And I mean, really early. You feel cold? Go and take a shower. Not hot, but cold shower. [You can't? Why can't you? A simple lad can get up early and attend his part-time job, so why can't you?] Stretch your body. And stretch like it's gonna tear up. 'Cause you've got a long day. No, don't make breakfast. Dress up. And change your hairstyle into more of an exotic. Carry a bag with all the supplies you need. Carry your camera. Put on an extra jacket if it gets a little too cold. Put on your boot and get out into the streets. Get yourself some milk and sandwich on the way.(Make that two sandwich and milk) Talk with the lad who sells you milk and sandwich early in the morning. Know his story. Take his picture, smile and thank him. Get on a bus and eat on the way. Talk with strangers on the bus. Interact. Capture their stories and photos. Get out of the valley and into the wild. Though not faraway deep in the wild, go into the wild.[You...

Young and Dumb!?!

Image
“‘ We were once young and dumb.’ It has become such a cliché that people tend to visualize them synonymous to each other. Sure, back in the days, I was young and dumb, but, that trait led me to various adventures and experiences. I have travelled across the land, narrow and wide, climbed my way up to some ferocious mountains, sailed across the dark deep sea, even jumped into it. I have travelled to many foreign lands, witnessing first-hand their indigenous culture and tradition, and spoke many tongues. I watched their devotion and practices in the name of their God. I have walked the busy streets into the dark alleys and into the knocking shop. I have climbed up the ferocious dragon’s back 1 . I have rested my feet in a cave sitting beside a fire. I survived and came out of a thundering rainy season, a desert hot summer.  I have gone to the suburb seeking, begging for food and water. I have travelled far and wide exchanging currencies and wealth. I have...
