Review of Mount Davis

Sunday, March 30

   Dad and I went back the the Mount Davis Path, which we had finished it already few weeks before. This time, we took some photos and the video or a special way there. We thought no one would walk through it again, unless the one who has just murdered a man... 

  You can run around the mountain, whole Mount Davis within 30 minutes, which I can do it. But you'll never know how large was there, before you really go in, how strange.

This is the finishing point of the 'gateway'

Guess what, a two-heads snake? Believe or not.
The heads were pointing upward.



This is the video 'gateway', this road was named by my Dad.
From the video I took in MacLehose Trail, this is the second narrowest road recently.
This is the original one, bad words are not yet cut.

MacLehose trail Stage1

MacLehose Trail, length 100 km. Starting from Pak Tam Chung to Tsuen Mun, it is a long way to go. Of course we didn't finish it yet, you'll know that later.
This Sunday, I woke up at around eight to nine. After the research, there should be a bus 698R that goes Pak Tam Chung from North Point. We went to the supermarket at first to buy food and drink as refer:

2 towels
2 chocolate bars ( Twix)
1 can of chocolate bean (M&M)
2 bottles of water (around 350ml) 1 extra bottle of water (around 1L )
bread
pork chops ( dad's suggestion)

Nicely went to take the 18P at around 9:45 after packing up all the things. As we arrived the next bus stop, we almost scream out loud, or I should say, I did. The bus 698R can only be seen before 9:30, that means we came there a hour late.

Afterwards, there were all some boring scenes that no one wanna know, no one will care except someone who want to laugh at me.

At around 1 pm, we arrived lastly. First stage we have to go to Long Ke by walking outside the High Island Reservoir, it was really nice and huge.


(photos will be posted later)


Almost all of the photos were taken in there before we were starting to meet the devil.

Shot! No water! Less than 350 ml in total was left.

That was a long way after getting to the Long Ke, and we continue to walk along the way. 
Dead end, we had no way to choice. Quit? We didn't bring along the map, so we never know where we were and where we go. The only thing we know about is, no water.

I used my mobile to capture this moment, although I didn't know what I was talking about, it was quite a good way to forget about drinking.



Thanks God, we went though the death ( dad's leg was injured again). An uncle we met lastly told us a way that can go to take a taxi back to city. We have hope~

Another video that I took later, the narrowest road I've ever seen, man! Really danger that if there was a snake, I can write my blog forever! Who cares, we can go home, there's nothing can stop us from drinking 6 bottles of coke, lying on the sofa and laughing at the video we took just like this.


WARNING : Everyone without trained by Simon should not try this kind of activities, any injured or causing death, don't tell me.

Mount Davis

Since dad and I had quite a lot of adventures, almost every two months. I found that there is something that always attracts us to join those activities, and every times are different, unique, getting danger and exciting. Isn't it great, for me, this feeling is the most happiest thing in the entire world.

The plan in my mind now is to explore Hong Kong before summer, to understand more about it. It is probably the only thing I could do to spend time in this little cave.

Two weeks ago, dad and I were thinking about hiking. It was 2:30 in the afternoon and we had almost three hours, fighting against time is a cool thing, if you always win.

"To Peak again, no! it sucks, I can go there with my eyes closed." Dad thought for a while, he led me to a new place that I've never been, or heard. Forget about the name, it is not important anyway, coz we didn't get there at last. Walking for around ten minutes, a never-went road was blocking our way and we went in, 'adventure time'.

The truth is, the road was a bit too wide for me that it can let a car in or out. I hate walking in those road when I wanna hike. Yet there were no cars at all, and people also. We could never guess that the mountain was so large that we walked for hours! It seems that it is only a gap between two highways, but you'll never imagine that can be so big.

We didn't take any photos, though. It was not so special, like the Peak. But until we were trying to exit.

That was the narrowest road I've ever seen. I was scared, you will know if you were in there. Just like in Dungeon Siege, I nearly took a sword in my hand, trying to kill all the moving things.

to be continue ( now, let's see some stones that I took in MacLehose trail)

Down, down, down...

All my emotions suddenly change so fast that I can't catch, or I should say the word Down to describe. The passion of everything has gone. There's no way to make me concentrate in class, or doing homework, though I don't worry about school things, no big deal about that. One serious problem comes, I can't go on practicing the violin like hanging at school, it won't work but I have no idea how to control that, it's my greatest pressure. This week, I have no improvement on the Lalo's finale, though teacher tells me to learn another sonatas of Bach, I want to play faster to reach the standard speed. It took me a week and still doesn't seems to be working. You always have consequences when you do something, like me, I've just lost my intonation after trying my best to play fast, and I sucked at last lesson. What can i do now!


What I've just typed is just a piece of rubbish, of course, if you can suggest anything to me, go on. If not, I'm not gonna kill you coz there's not much people will see the whole passage and I don't wanna lost anyone of you. Let me bring a news, first one is our school orchestra has joined the school festival and is going to perform next Tuesday. School festival, again, our school will never win, I am sure. I don't want to play in the orchestra anymore. The truth is, I have no idea how to get away with this without upset my music teacher, coz I may have somethings to beg her later, i guess. So at last I promise her that I will play in the competition, that's why I stay until now. Hopeless.


Second news is, again, about music, always about music. The Hong Kong Music Office is going to have a concert soon, 08MO Annual Gala, Celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Music Office. It's on the 23rd this month and there are going to have two concert, Chinese instruments(3p.m.) and Western's (8p.m.) in Hong Kong Culture Centre Concert Hall. Please, don't go. It is going to been stupid because the pieces we play will be so easy ( HK Youth String with lead HKI, Kowloon, New T. Youth String to play, we can't play something difficult). You can actually forget about it, but it is good for someone want to write a concert report.



I am wishing if tomorrow I can grab my passion back, my shiny back.
