Photos

Yesterday, I've downloaded a lot of photos from my blackberry to laptop...
I haven't downloaded any photos for months...  decide to put some nice ones here...


Aug 15... Testing your eyesight...  Can you see the rainbow inside the photo?


 
Took this one on July 26... on my way downtown to birthday dinner... :D




July 20... One big happy family living near my office...


With a nice front/backyard view...


July 11... A group of us were watching the World Cup Final at Wild Wings...

CaCa:  Hmmm... Which team should I support... Spain or Netherlands?

Ca Ca: Let's see which team is winning...
CaCa:  Score is still 0:0??  Not fun... I rather play with blackberry...
Ca Ca:  The teams haven't score anything... still 0:0...   I am more fun to watch than them!! :)

CaCa:  Game ended and it's still 0:0... need extra time...  boring!!



Took them on Metro Square Night Market... This is HK style smelly tofu...
I did try it, but it's not really that smelly.  ;-)



Took this one on June 6... A happy human house...  The person inside doesn't really look that happy... :P

A cheap weight-loss tip: Drink two glasses before every meal

A study shows that dieters who down two glasses of water before each meal shed more pounds than those who only count calories. While prescription-only weight-loss drugs cut the body’s ability to absorb fat or tinker with the brain’s chemistry, water simply fills up the stomach. Water is also, of course, calorie-free and readily available. Water drinkers ate 75 to 90 fewer calories per meal. Over the course of a day, this could amount to almost 300 calories - the equivalent of a Danish pastry or a pint and a half of beer.

Since I want to lose more weight for my wedding, I should give this method a try!  :D

菲律賓挾持香港遊客

In the past few days, I have heard a lot of sad news about the Philippine bus hijacking:

在馬尼拉(菲律賓),一名遭革職警官(Rolando Mendoza)在馬尼拉市區登上一輛巴士並挾持車上香港觀光客。 旅遊巴被脅持事件以流血告終...槍手被擊斃... 8名香港遊客死亡... 其他人受傷了...

It's very sad that most visitors from the hijacked bus are either hurt or died.  It's even more sad that these casualties could have been prevented if the Philippine polices were more well trained and had acted properly.

Here are some articles of people talking about what could have been done if it was done properly:
退役飛虎:踩住同袍屍體都要上 解構菲警五大錯 斥行動遲緩
菲警認指揮無能樣樣差 裝備訓練不足 刺激兇徒 延誤救人


Sad accident ended with six broken families... :(
I am not a police and my police knowledge basically comes from TV shows...
Even I won't make some of those mistakes that the Philippine polices have made!
It's just common sense!!

On the other hand, it is also during these sad times where we see the goodness and bravery of people...
The brave tour guide who phone in for help...
The brave husband who died trying to stop the hijacker from killing people...

Goshen Gospel Camp 2010 - Day 3

Day 3

We had eggs again for breakfast.  Those eggs are fresh farm eggs from nearby free range chicken farm.  They are very tasty!


Of course... we had everyone's favourite....  Cup Noodle again!
Take a look at the lineups...


We had a closing gathering before lunch.
Lunch was our final meal at Bliss Haven.  We had
  •  salad
  • fried vegetable balls which are made from beans, spinach, onions, etc.
  • spaghetti


It was a very health lunch... ;-)



The drive back to Toronto was surprisingly good.  There was no traffic jam at 401.

Guess how many cars we had inside the camp?
Hint...

Goshen Gospel Camp 2010 - Tour of the outside

During the free time on Day 2, I took lots of photos around the house.

Let me take you for the tour outside the house...


Front door...

Outside the back door...


This was where the owner did some of the cooking...  especially cooking eggs in the morning...


Ancient stove...


I didn't think it's meant for adults...


The neighbor had a big field... 
Can you guest what's growing in the field?


The field is growing green beans...


I've also found a pear or green apple tree.... However, each fruit looked very ugly...


Can you see what's hiding in the photo?


It's a rabbit! 
So cute! :)
