Desktop wallpaper

What is your desktop wallpaper? What kind of desktop wallpaper you like?

I always like to beautify my desktop wallpaper. Time to time, I will google to get new and nice and cool wallpaper for my desktop and laptop.

Before I left for my holiday last week, I found this site (http://wallcoo.net). That time I looked for some Christmas feel wallpaper. At last, I did not choose Christmas wallpaper.

The following 2 wallpapers chosen by me:

Calbee Grill-A-Corn Lobster in Supreme Soup Flavoured

During this Hong Kong trip, had chance to shop myself in super market. A and I crazy on grabbing those items from tracks. I still remembered how crazy A is. She spent a lot there. LOL.

This Grill-A-Corn Lobster in Supreme Soup Flavoured is recommended by May². I bought 2 packs back due to the special offer. It's nice until the ant came and ate my snack as well (I could not finish one pack at a time).

I love it because I love corn. :p

Snoopy World at New Town Plaza Hong Kong

Have you ever know there is a snoopy world at New Town Plaza, which located at MTR Sha Tin Station? It is a one-stop shopping centre in Hong Kong, which expresses the style and elegance of this thriving city.

What's more, have fun with Snoopy, Charlie Brown and their friends right here at New Town Plaza! Located on Level 3, Snoopy's World features six amusement zones that kids can’t help but fall in love with. It is a museum of sorts dedicated to Peanuts characters and their creator, Charles Schulz. Make sure your kids get a big kick out of the 3-minute Canoe Ride as they journey towards many different scenic points. Or hop on the Peanuts School Bus to enjoy some fun with interactive activities.

I cant remember maymay or merry mentioned there's a snoopy world in the mall while we out walked in to the mall. We're actually heading ourselves to Christian bookstore to buy some stuff. I was so excited and I believed they all shocked by my reaction.

It's so embarrassed that I actually not young enough to go there. But since my childhood I like snoopy so much. While last year I googled information regarding Hong Kong, I knew it. It's not manageable to go there. This time cos of going to Tao Fong Shan which located nearest to Sha Tin. My dream comes true. Thanks their patient of accompanying me to have one round there.

I saw all the kids are crazy and fun in the snoopy world. It's envy I do not have such great memories. Anyway, I still happy that my dream comes true. LOL...

A journey to Tao Fong Shan Service Unit 道風山服務處 (Hong Kong)

I known Tao Fong Shan Service Unit last year. Alison did tell me this is a temple long time ago, now becomes a Christian ministry service unit.

Areopagos is a ministry unit which named Christian Mission to Buddhists (CMB) earlier. Since 1926, Areopagos established at China, then Hong Kong Tao Fong Shan. This ministry mainly focus on China people. Tao Fong Shan is Areopagos's service unit at Hong Kong. If you understand chinese, the following quote is useful information. For more, you can visit their website.

Areopagos 是一個北歐的差會及基金會，前名稱為 Christian Mission to Buddhists 簡稱 CMB。Areopagos 成立於一九二六年，首先在中國開展事工，隨後將工作遷往香港道風山。其事工對象以中國人為主，而在中國及台灣的事工包括﹕宗教對話、宗教研究、靜修研習及服務事工。其他合作伙伴及團體分別在日本、泰國及北歐等地方。現時 Areopagos 的總辦事處設在挪威的奧斯陸。

道風山服務處是 Areopagos的本地辦事處，於二零零一年一月成立，負責管理道風山的建築物、設施的租用，以及提供支援服務予道風山基督教叢林及漢語基督教文化研究所。

修葺後的道風山，四周綠草如茵，清幽雅緻，可使人從繁囂庸碌的都市生活中鬆弛下來，是退修及閱讀的理想地方，由沙田或大圍火車站乘坐的士亦不到十分鐘的路程，我們熱切歡迎各界團體預約到道風山共享各種設施。

While we entered to Tao Fong Shan, I was attracted by the traditional china culture and beauty. It's really a comfortable place and relaxing from the busy city life.

Star Seafood Restaurant Dim Sum [at] Hong Kong

If you watch Hong Kong movie often, you will know Hong Kong dim sum is very famous. They always mention 'yam cha' at dim sum restaurant. This time during my trip to Hong Kong, Maymay picked us from hotel and brought us to a traditional and normal dim sum restaurant. Once I tasted them, wow.... I love it..

Star seafood restaurant is not the top famous restaurant in Hong Kong. It's already very nice dim sum for me. I do hope next time I eat dim sum at Malaysia, I still managed to eat them. LOL. Because only 3 of us, we did not ordered too many varieties of dim sum. Alison and I are not big eater. (Even though our size is big).. Haiz... gonna to keep fit from now. :(

Finally we managed to finish all the dim sum we ordered. Of course, we also forced Maymay to eat together with us. We fat, she also must fat. Wakakaa..... Then we keep fit together. :p

This cafe is really original and famous in Hong Kong. While we entered inside, we're actually asked to stand beside and wait the table seat. I saw many people queue outside as well. The waiter there screamed until his voice becomes very 'sexy'.

I really love Po Lo Yau, Egg tart and Spicy Chicken Wings there. The Po Lo Yau is really soft and melted in my mouth. See the photo, how happy Alison is. LOL. The egg tart is really hot, soft. And the chicken wing is really tasty. Yummy yummy...

My 2nd times to Hong Kong

Actually I really like to shop at Hong Kong. It's really a good place for me to do my shopping. Anyway, many of friends recommended Taiwan is another place for someone shopaholic. Of course, I love Hong Kong most, I can visit my Hong Kong friends as well.

Last year when I was at Hong Kong, happy to know Debby and Chichi. Thanks again to their kindness on spending their time brought us around, especially eating a lot of their dessert, and local nice food. That time was my first time tasted soft and nice beef. This is seldom happen in Malaysia.

This time our tour guides (Maymay and Merry) are very special. I remembered how we know them. They added me in their Facebook and I know they like Malaysia so well. Why they like Malaysia? Only they have the answer.. :D Many kind of food I tried this time, no matter is Taiwan food, Ireland food, Hong Kong food, etc. All we tried.

Beside that I enjoyed a lot is shopping. I really buy a lot this year, much more than last year. Last year the summer make me frustrated, could not even stay outside too long. I will keep think on water and toilet. :D This time not hot and not cold. The weather is really good for me.

The most happiest during the trip was visiting the snoopy world. This was never planned in our trip. Thanks Maymay and Merry remind us.
