Ironman!
May 29th, 2008 by Leo
We went to the cinema with Kat & Christina on Tuesday night, watching Ironman. Not many HK people know Ironman before the movie, but it was actually the 4 most famous super-hero (group) of Marvel comics. The other 3 are Hulk, Spiderman, and Fantastic 4.
Ironman is also the 1st movie made by Marvel Studio.
Before the movie there was another surprise. We saw the trailer of Hellboy 2. Oh it is so exciting.
Iron Man is such a good movie. I especially like the computer system that Tony Stark can talk to directly, just like talking to a puppy. When it comes to development he would talk to the system like a colleague with similar intelligent as him. The 3D design of his armor is another highlight. He can ‘virtually’ open up the 3D image of the armor that the computer projected for him, and chuck the unwanted parts into the ‘trash’.
The action scenes are great as well. Very intense.
And thanks to Evon, we didn’t miss the hidden scene which was played after all the credits. It is a scene that leads to part 2. Being such a famous character it is not a surprise that there will be part 2.
We surely enjoyed the movie so much, as well as the relaxation that we gained. We are going to watch Indiana Jones next.
Honeymoon & Anniversary Trip – 6th stop – Tokyo, Japan
May 17th, 2008 by Doris
After a romantic and relaxing trip in Italy, we were back to Japan. We stayed in hotel XXX in Tokyo. The hotel is located in a business area hence there isn’t anything exciting around but it gave us good and quiet night sleep. And it is easy to travel to everywhere with the metro. We haven’t got enough time to do a detailed visit in Tokyo but we managed to go to a few places, did some shopping and ate yummy food. We went into a sushi bar without knowing enough Japanese, but we managed to eat a few Oishi shasimi! On one day, we visited the Sunshine City and a Toyota exhibition (too bad we couldn’t own one); we got lost at one point but turned out we could had yummy Ramen for lunch unexpectedly 
. At night, we went dropping by famous Ginza where is known as the working and expensive district where people are properly dressed up. On another day, we visited Asakusa where is famous with the Nakamise shopping arcade, sensoji temple and the five storied Pagoda. As we were shopping, we bumped into a shop that specifically sell WHALE meat. Although there has been continuous argument regarding ban to kill whale… we anyway tried some. The price was not much more expensive than other meat and it did taste very nice. We thought the raw meat tasted better than the cooked.
After that, we took the light rail to Odaiba – Ferris wheel, Fuji television building, rainbow bridge, Venus Fort shopping mall, etc. We also did a bit of shopping there 
. We also visited other districts like shinjuku, shibuya, Akihabara (where Leo bought his MODELS), etc and there are still many places we wanted to visit. We promise we will come back!
Graduation and Mothers’ day
May 14th, 2008 by Doris
Last Friday was Katherine’s graduation from Bsc-Medical science (Pharmacology). I was the camera lady as I was for CT last year. I had to get up early and be there by 8am. The weather wasn’t so great that day and was raining like cats and dogs. Thank God that it stopped for the pocession and we managed to march down to the town hall without getting wet. We then met up with mum, dad, CT, KT and leo for Yum cha. Mum’s condition was good that day and we were happy that she could come out for yum cha and had photos with Kat at Albert park afterward. Since I had to go back to the lab at 3pm, I couldn’t go to kat’s ceremony. CT went instead and took pictures for her. She missed Kat’s capping but took Emma’s! haha
At night – We took Leo’s parents to Erawan for dinner to celebrate Mothers’ day and her birthday. We had some entree to start with then followed by 2 curries and a stir fried dish. They were quite nice actually and everybody seems to enjoy it very much. Leo also bought a bouquet for his mum and she was very happy to receive it. Leo loves and cares for his parents very much and I can see his parents are always very pleased to see him.
On Saturday night, we went out with Kat for her graduation dinner @ Mikano. We have yummy food!
After dinner, we went to Langham for a coffee. The hot chocolate is huge!

Often you hear “you have the right to say how you feel” Yeah, I have the right but it is not so simple. There are things that I don’t like or people that I don’t like, but I can’t mention it. “You should tell them that is wrong…” but often I can’t as noone would accept it even though they might know their doing is wrong. Just let it fade away… until you don’t care anymore…
