Reflection At Hong Kong DAY 1

O.k. I am breaking with tradition. Normally I do not blog. I just upload my articles. But this is an exception. I am trying to blog and see the effect.

Yesterday woke up at 4 a.m. to catch a flight at 7 to Hong Kong. Slept most of the time. But Hey I managed to look at clouds from both side now.

Really . Saw from the top after being a Geography teacher for so long. All the convectional cells, Cumulus Clouds a field of Cumulonimbus Clouds anf of course Cirrus Clouds


Touched down at 10.30 a.m. and took me 2 whole hours and $30 (Sing) by two MRT and bus to get to the Hong Kong Institude of Education. It is sited in a mountain range surrounded by beautiful mountain. Unfortunately I could not down load my pic as i do not have the programme. And yes, there are spur, steep sided slope etc for those who still remember all the map reading stuff i have taught you.

So funny. My roommate took the same plane and went through the same journey like me and we only met in the room. She is a China born researcher at CRPP.

Explored Hong Kong by myself. Shopped at Girl Street. Went mad. Did not shopped for soooooo long what with making babies, teaching O level to students who are more interested in ..... ( i will not say much. Enough)

Now I have very little money left . (Sigh)

Tried to do last minutes slides so that I do not make a fool of myself today. My session is at 2.p.m. Do not even know where it is.

I am so afraid I will make a fool of myself. What if international audience asked me so many questions and I do not have the answers? I cannot remember a single thing I want to share with them. I have forgotten all my observations. Sigh.

I am so thankfull to all of you who have taken the time to give me feedback. It will help.

Here to Life. Life is Good. I am having fun. To night will try to go to the Peak. Tomorrow after the conference may be go to Macau to try Lady Luck. ha ha. but no I only have enough to take the expensive transport back.

Listening to U-tube. Feel like I am in Singapore as I always listen to U-tube.

To my family:
Anicius--- hugs and kiss
Ariel--- So happy you are studying now
Atticus-- If you do not learn to read, you will not be able to understand this. Ha Ha
Amabel--- Brought sport shoes for you and some very nice T shirt. Four long sleves one. But your sister will sure to bag, borrow or steal
Aubrey --- Guest what ? You will have to bag, borrow or steal
Angus--- You cannot bag borrow or steal so I brought pents which I believe you sisters will bag, borrow or steal.

To my Ess--- Never give wife last minute box that cost $3.95 at 7-11. She do not know how to lie.

O.K. All It is 6.26 a.m. Going for breakfest, calm myself and must not feel small with all these researcher, PHD, BIG Shot speakers and Professors.

As the school have taught me. Be Mighty in Thoughts and Deeds, no matter how small i feel.
