Ngong Ping 360

Mom had two visitors from Cambridge University. They both came from England - a country in the Atlantic Ocean. Their names are Dr. Barnes and Dr. Henderson.

We met at Tung Chung. Then we went to buy tickets and took a cable car to Ngong ping. We saw the Buddha, too.

Next, we went to visit the chopsticks Gallery and drank some herbal tea.

Shortly after, we caught a late movie called monkey's tale. Then my brother Tony and I got some ice-cream. Then Tony and I walked all the way up the the buddha - without giving up.

Walking up the buddha is hard work because there was more than two-hundred steps. I was surprised that I could walk more than two-hundred steps - and when I was walking up the staircase at school, I would feel exhausted and tired.

After that, we ate at Vegetarian Restaurant. Then, we took a group photo.

Finally, we took cable car back to Tung Chung.

I had fun in this outing, and I'm looking forward to have another fun day like today.

Boy Scout

When I was much younger, I saw kids wearing scout's uniforms and I imagined that I would look cool if I wore those uniforms, either. But I was in an internatinal school and they didn't have scout's school. But in where I lived, I saw kids wearing scout's uniforms, too. So I joined the scout's team of my housing estate.

Yesterday, my mom and I went to Scout center in: 11th floor,8th Austin Road, Jordan. But it was not that easy. It was because when I copied the adress on the internet, I carelessly forgot to copy the street number. So when my mom and I went to Jordan, we did not know where to go, so my only idea was to ask the shop staff. But that was not where my hard task was. My hard task was when I got to the scout shop.

When I got there, I got a little nervous and wondered what to say. Finally, I got into the line and I asked if this was the right place to buy scout's stuff.



Luckily, the staff just took my paper and gave me the right things I needed to buy. And I did not have to complete my second task. Here, I ll tell you what I had bought that day: 1 beige colored shirt, A pair of green shorts, 1 scout hat with a badge stuck to it, 1 belt that fit me, a pair of long green socks, 4 badges in a pack with: membership badge, a Hong Kong badge, a N.T. badge, and a Shatin badge, A scout handbook, a scout record book, and a pair of black shoes with laces.



After I got back home, I could not help myself to tell mom to help me put on the badges.While she was doing that, I did my homework.



I hope I can have a good time being a boy scout.
