Observation and Reflection from a Typhoon

Hong Kong Observatory issue No. 8 Northeast Gale or Storm Signal at 17:40 on 23rd July, 2012. Observatory has said that the No. 8 signal will maintain in the evening.

In the No. 8 signal is issued, Ngau Tau Kok MTR Station and Mong Kok East Station has found a foreign body in the rail services were affected, but because of the frequency has been changed to a limited service , the service is only a slight delay, not serious disruption.

At 20:45 in the evening, Hong Kong Observatory said it may need to issue the higher tropical cyclone warning signal, and urged the public to pay attention to the newest storm news.

It was on the 9th Gale or Storm Signal at 23:20 issued by the Hong Kong Observatory. Then, the MTR from a limited service to a closed car, suddenly announced that it changed to suspend aerial and ground segment services, Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Island Line and West Rail will be running a limited service, and other sections of service suspension.

Close to midnight, MTR Tai Po Market Station of fallen trees, fallen trees affect the East Rail power supply, while other sections also jump power, across the board to suspend nearly eight hours. Over a thousand passengers affected by the incident, forced to remain in the train carriages and lobby for the night. The power supply in the following day was back to normal, but it was no train movements, MTR open the station for passengers to rest.

After this case happened , I think the passengers who forced to remain in the train carriages and lobby for the night are dissatisfied is very normal . Nevertheless, I think both sides  (MTR Corporation and passengers ) also have something wrong .

I think this case is an accident. No one would know the trees fell to the Tai Po Market Station and made many troubles with it. I think the passengers did something wrong. I believe that they were angry of can’t going home is very normal but they should not to be very rude to blame on MTR Corporation. MTR Corporation need the time to maintain the East Rail power supply. Also, because of the no.8 signal, it is very dangerous to back home. If MTR Corporation can’t ensure the passengers’ safety, I think it may be more complains than present turnovers.

I think the MTR Corporation also did something wrong. It should pre-entered into some policy to emergencies. It can avoid the bad thing happen.

I hope this case will not happen again .I believe that the MTR Corporation would have reflection about this.

''Cooking , Food, Love''

Eating is the most important part in our life. If we don’t eat anything for a  long time , we could not have energy to continue our life . However it is principal , we always ignore that because people have busy life in nowadays . So they would like to choose to eat fast food more than choose the healthy food , but it will cause many healthy problem , like heart disease . If you are the one that mentioned , I hope you can change your life style start from now.

I think eating outside is not healthy than homemade . I would like to cook with my family when I have extra time. Cooking is a fun way to promote the relationship between my family members and I . Also , it can let me relax. As a student , it must have pressure with study and I choose to cook . After cooking , I can eat my handmade products also can enjoy the time that I cook with the others .

Actually , my cooking experience happened since I was about 7 years old . I remember my twins sister and I always like to watch the kind programmes about cooking in summer holiday . We would write down the steps and ingredients and cook . It was really a good experience . I think I will the best cook if I continue to cook until now, haha.

I like to watch a  programme  called ‘ Junior Master Chef Australia’ .

It is a programme that the juniors about 9 -12 years old to have a cooking competition . I was so proud of these kids . They like cooking very much . They are very patient to cook a dish . They don’t care of the awards but do care of the dishes quality .

This is my lastly cooing experience .  My mother , sister and I make a cake for a relative’s birthday . I think make a cake is easy than you think . Let’s try to do it by yourself ! 

My Learning Experience - Joy and Challenges

Form 6 , will be the last year to study in Secondary School. Looking back on pervious days , there were so many memories . Although the memories let me taste all of sweet and bitter experiences on the way , I think it can let me to grow up a little more .

About the ‘joy’ part , I think I almost in a merry mood in my learning career. It is because I enjoy my learning time .   

I always consider a question . We always need to go school almost everyday ,but I always hear some classmates do not like the school life . It means they  are almost unhappy everyday. In my opinion, I feel very dissatisfy with those classmates because we have chances to study but many children in the world do not these yet .Their life are more harder when compare with us. We should treasure our studying time !

I was lucky that I got many friends from school. My friends and I are nervous about our studies so that we study frequently . When I have some  problems about studies, I will ask for their help and they will help me too. It causes I do not have so many  pressures in my school life and stay happy with learning.

About the ‘ challenges’ part , I think all students also have , even the cleverest student .Challenges make us to become better . After we overcome challenges , we will make so much a sense of accomplishment and encourage us to solve the problems by ourselves . In my school life , my worst subject is English Language .I was failed in the test and examination often . I know that I was worse than others , so I would find some ways to improve my worst subject ,such as pay attention in English lesson and  try to use English to talk with my friends.

Challenge is the way to learn our mistake from it . Although the period is hard , we could have some gains in it .

Someone said school life was the happiest time ,so please enjoy this few time and never give up !!!!

My First Encounter with African Culture - Music and Dance

All my school' s Form 5 students had been invited to join an OLE activity on 27thJune, 2012. Our school invited an African to share the culture of his country .

He taught us to sing , dance and drum .

 

The orthodox of African drum is called Djembe , it was originated in the non-tribes of Kenya .

In Africa , indigenous use of African drums to build a group.

  

Ensemble African drumming to build up teamwork, self-confidence, rhythm training, stimulate students' creativity and musicality. The strong rhythm of African drumming, is an effective release emotional medium.

I think it was the greatest time to relax after the final examination. I hope all girls and teachers had fun on that day because I really enjoyed the moment that we sang and drummed together. It was peaceful and warm time.

Without any communication, the African could still run high an atmosphere with his body language. This is the main message that I learnt from this action. We can use fewer words but it also can show our feelings , just like we ware hanging smiley when we danced ,we showed that we enjoyed it .

I discovered  African’ palms are white , haha ! 

This is our last summer ! Enjoy your summer but do not forget to study more to handle our HKDSE !  We have only about 6 months to study so I hope everyone could ‘ play hard ! work hard !!!!!!!! ‘ LETS TRY YOUR BEST  AND NEVER GIVE UP !!!! :- )
