A pulley accident

26 April 2020


I put on the safety halmet  that I need to  jump into the pulley perching on the top of the curvy slope. I had been queueing for a long time and I was very anxious to get started.

I nodded at the instructor who was going to tell me how to control the pulley. It was the first time I had seen a real one but I was sure that l already knew everything."blah...blah... blah... blah..." Annoyed, I didn't  listen to the instructor. When the instructor said "Then, let's go! "  Zoooooom! I went. The pulley was off in a flash. The pulley zoomed ahead so fast that my heart was in my mouth. I was moving my center of gravity to control the pulley. It was too late by the time I noticed that the turn in front. I did my best to turn the pulley. I closed my eyes tried not to see the bloody scene that may happen. When I opened my eyes, I was safe! I did it！ I did it！ I shrieked excitedly and waved my hands to my mother. I relieved the brake. Then, a bad luck landed on me. I was going to see what happened in front of me. "Crash!" I bumped into the board.

Fortunately, I was wearing a safety helmet so I was not badly injured. I only had a few bruises on on my legs. This lesson taught me don't relieve holding hands while you were speeding down the curvy slope and maintaining your gesture balance in all might.

Caught in a storm

15 May 2020 Black clouds gathered above us, but we were too intent on going to fishing. We hoped that the clouds would go away so that we could continue fishing. Our hopes were dashed when suddenly heavy rain began to pour. In a few seconds we were all soaked to the skin. To make matters worst, lightning flashed dangerously close to us. The deafening thunder and howling wind did not help either. We ran towards a large tree under which we had parked our bicycles. The tree provided some shelter from the rain and we were tempted to remain under it. However we knew that it was dangerous to stay under a tree during a thunderstorm. So we got on our bicycles and pedalled off. There was no other shelter available nearby. So I, for one, decided to go home. Since I was already completely wet, I might was well to go home instead to seeking shelter. On the way back home, the driving rain made cycling difficult as I could not see more that a couple of metres in front of me. Accidentally,

Going to the Wetland Park with my parents

4 May 2020 I have always liked birds, since the day I heard of those fantastic creatures that could soar through the skies. Normally, I can only see most of them in books and on television, or the ordinary ones flying around Hong Kong. Last Sunday,  I eventually had the chance to see many different species of birds. I was thrilled when my parents told me that they were taking me to the Wetland Park! After a short Light Rail Ride, we arrived at the gates of the Wetland Park. My parents and I took a photo near the Eco-maze. It was not long before I saw the tall wooden building. It was the birds hide. We walked into the building. When I looked through the telescope, I could take a closer look to all sort of birds. From richly coloured kingfisher staying near the water surface to snow white egret preying in the water, the sight of these magnificent creatures had me racing up and down the park. We finished the lunch. Then my father suggested us to go to the Mangrove Boardwalk which i

A trip to Ocean Park

12 May 2020 "Faster, faster. " I mumbled. I could not keep my mouth shut as excitement rush through my veins.  My parents were bringing me on a trip to Ocean Park! The journey there seemed to take ages. Ultimately, we arrived at our destination. After a short time, we reached the cable car tower. Enthusiastically, we got into an empty cable car. The view out of the cable car of the arrays of mountains protruding into the South China Sea was second to none. It was spectacular! The ships were like tiny dots sailing in the deep blue sea and the people looked like tiny little ants from high above. After that, we went to the crazy gallon. When I saw this ship, my legs trembled and said "Nooooooo! " But driven by curiosity, I got aboard the ship. "This is the most horrible game I have ever had!" I whined on board. Then, we set off to the bumper blaster. The most I desired to play it in the Ocean Park. I played it with my father several times because it
