Counting Down

Shatin Park


I realised that this time next month it will be Chinese New Year. Time flies when you are supposed to be having fun. Soon my boobs will reach my feet before I know it.

I went to the Heritage Museum in Shatin on Sunday. The day was bright and the sun was shining, so I decided to walk along the river to the city centre. It was pretty nice to just chill out and watch sweaty men jog by. :) I walked through Shatin Park with paths leading to various different themed walled gardens. The birds were singing and you could hear a woman singing oldies on some karaoke machine. Yes, there was a woman singing on a microphone in the park and you could hear her across the river. I came across a group of senior citizens in a clearing waltzing away to the song. They were so elegant yet relaxed. It felt as if you were back in the 1920s and 1930s nightclubs. Quite a varied crowd was gathered around watching the dancing. If I could dance I would have joined in.

The Museum was not too bad, worth an afternoon of my time but not any more. There were themed exhibits on chinese opera, New Territories history, Hong Kong fashion, CantoPop and a chinese artifact exhibit. One thing for sure, T. T. Tsui who donated a whole museum of antiques much be freaking rich! I am not a religious follower of the famous, so I didn't care for whole exhibitions of Hong Kong popstars, their successes and their concert costumes.
