MacLehose Trail Stage 2 + Sharp Peak

Finally got some hiking done for this holiday.

Got together with my friend today and took on Sharp Peak (蚺蛇尖).

We started along MacLehose Trail Stage 2 and took a detour up the peak. The elevation was 465m there. Going up was kinda hard, but down was tough. There were too many loose gravel and sand. We neglected to bring along walking sticks or gloves, which makes crawling down not quite a pleasant experience.

We then back tracked down to the trail and followed it. Some 6.5 hours later, we finished our trip.

It was a great workout, but I hope that I can still walk tomorrow without limping.

Another meaningful song

傲骨 - 譚詠麟

＊誰知我內心多苦悶　一切沒法如願
誰知我內心多苦悶　因我甚覺疲倦
但到底這鬥爭沒有完
想逼我改變　有誰會知我心內
有極強信念

＃從開始至今多考驗　使我步法常亂
從開始至今多考驗　手裡利劍常斷
話到底我了解好清楚
不肯趁風轉　有時我想去屈服
想起也心酸

＋不可以　重覆這怒叫聲
自信他朝一柱擎天
沒法屈膝在苦困前
討厭加討厭

重唱　＃,＋,＊

有誰會知我心內
有極強信念

Breakfast

I doubt you would see this anywhere else!

After a long night of battle against rioting protesters, the Hong Kong Police Force distributed BREAKFAST to the now peacefully sitting down protestors, the same ones who attacked them violently just hours ago.

Civilized, in deed.

Hong Kong Police Force

Definitely one of the most professional police forces in the world.

They respect peaceful protests. When protestors get violent, they practiced extreme restraint. They have the order of the whole city in mind. They never give protestors any reason to escalate their violence. Same could hardly be said about police forces around the world.

Today, after facing two and a half hours of riot against police (constant beating, smacking, throwing steel barriers at them, discharging fire extinguisher,etc.), Riot Police hadn't use any weapon stronger than pepper spray. Security Secretary even gave warning to all before the tear gas operation which follows half an hour later. The worse part is that not all police are armed with riot gear. They can only use their baton as self-defense. Moreover, today's violence followed a week full of protest and occasional violence. These constables have been on this restless alert stage all along, never knowing when protesters might start rioting.

Hong Kong Police Force, I appreciate your sacrifices and support your actions!

"Prioritizer"

Not procrastinator, yes-man or slacker.

That's what I taught for time-management today. Wierd way of presentation, but it's not up to me to change it anyway.

Ironic, a procrastinator telling people not to procrastinate. Hum...

Old great song

There You'll Be - Faith Hill

When I think backon these times and the dreams we left behind,
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed to get to have you in my life.
When I look back on these days,
I'll look and see your face.
You were right there for me.

In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky.
In my heart, there always be a place for you for all my life.
I'll keep a part of you with me,
and everywhere I am, there you'll be,
and everywhere I am, there you'll be.

Well you showed me how it feels to feel the sky within my reach,
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me.
Your love made me make it through.
Oh, I owe so much to you!
You were right there for me.

In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky.
In my heart, there always be a place for you for all my life.
I'll keep a part of you with me,
and everywhere I am there you'll be.

'Cause I always saw in you my light, my strength,
and I want to thank you now for all the ways.
You were right there for me.
You were right there for me for always.

In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky.
In my heart, there always be a place for you for all my life.
I'll keep a part of you with me,
and everywhere I am there you'll be,
and everywhere I am there you'll be.

There you'll be.
