ha.ha.halloween

Ha,ha,halloween, we are waiting for your scream......this song has accompanied us more than a month, which is from the TV advertising of Ocean Park to promote the halloween event.
5,4,3,2,1.......Halloween is coming now!

HELLO WELCOME !!~~
 Everyone is busy to celebrate this “horrible” festival and I am obsessed by its special games and activities.
For instance,the most common one is treat-or-trick, also known as guising, is an activity for children in which they proceed from house to house, children can ask for treats like candies with questions.

The otherone is apple bobbing, in which apples float in a tub or a large basin of water and the participants must use their teeth to remove an apple from the basin.
Besides, some games traditionally played at Halloween are form of divination. A traditional Scottish form of divining one's future spouse is to carve an apple in one long strip, then toss the peel over one's shoulder. The peel is believed to land in the shape of the first letter of the future spouse's name.
Moreover, there is a tale of unmarried women. If they sit in a darkened room and gaze into a mirror on Halloween night, the face of their future husband will appear in the mirror. However, if they are destined to die before marriage, a skull will appear.
I found those legends interesting and I want to have a special Halloween party!
These photos are taken from disneyland where has special event to celebrelate this exciting festival!!!~~

Hong Kong Money

What is the most important thing that you think it is important?
Time /  Health / Friend / Family / Money ............

For me, I cannot choose. All of these are important for anyone. ~ Haha ~

In a realistic society, money is very important.
You can do things without money, but there are many things that you cannot do without money. Therefore, i want to talk about money today. ^^

Now, you may ask " Why money is related to Hong Kong Heritage? "
Actually, the new currency is not the Hong Kong Heritage that i think.
However, the old currency which the bank would not print it again,
that is the Hong Kong Heritage.

Have you seen the $0.01 , $1.0 , $5.0 , $10.0 in paper style which people was using it in the past?When I was small, my father sold me that he collected the currency when he was young. Then, he showed it to me and gave some to me. Now, collecting old money is my interest. Let me show you my collections of money ^^
Here are some coins and currency that we haven't used it now.

And here are some currency that we still can use but the bank would not print it now!!!
