So hiking on the Lions Rock trail was really fun and definitely had a more adventurous-vibe than the previous 2 hikes that we did. Although I only got 3 hours of sleep the night before, practically ate 2 fruits and 1 bao because there was no food at home & didnt want to eat too much beforehand...I guess I'm lucky that I didn't start crashing until 8pm. lol We started the hike at Tai Wai at around 3.30 and reached Amah Rock, Lions Peak & then Beacon Hill. I think it took us approx 3 hours to finish with decent resting periods in between. Lion's rock peak was pretty steep so do be careful when coming back down bc my dad told me ppl have fallen off before. eeks! Nevertheless the 360 degrees views are amazing and worth the 500m hike up because you'll never get to see kowloon and new territories ever like this. I don’t think I mentioned this to my hiking buddies but throughout the way I did feel slightly queasy. Not sure if it was because of lack of sunlight, rock shadows or the ‘bok tou dong’ (hit-head-gang) stories but yeah.. just a word of advice not to start the hike in the late afternoon or else you'll have to walk down on this DARK 'no un-authorized access' route that ends up being by this correctional facility. haha
Hmm what else has been going on..Oh yea so this past week I’ve started preparing for my run in late November. Yes, me…the person who gets picked 2nd to last in PE class has signed up for a 10 km run… I kid you not haha. I’ve bought my running shoes and 2 new t-shirts because I sweat bucket loads and only do the laundry once a week. On wed night I popped out of the house at 9.30pm after work and on sat morning I stepped out at 7.45am for my jog-walk. I’m very serious about this and have alot of motivation that hopefully wont fizzle. I’ve even considered getting that Nike sportsband to track my performance. =P I really want to finish the race but if I don’t finish it within 100 minutes and have to get picked up (shamefully!) by the bus, it’s still good to know that I’m running for the children.
Never been to HK’s Disneyland but looking forward to seeing Mickey & Minnie on nov 29!
