Took these shots using the ED 50-200 that I borrowed. It was kinda rush when I took these. No time to use tripod. Would have been better if I had more time.

Here is a update on my new home. Pinnacle@Duxton

Can someone please enlighten me why most of the kids like this pink... or purple dinosaur?

Including Zalliot!!!

Why I dislike?

1st - It's ugly 

2nd - This thing don't look like any dinosaurs that i recall (Jurassic Park). 

3rd - T Rex was supposed to be a huge meat eater, going around hunting for food. Not singing and dancing

4th - Colors. A Purple and Green T-Rex ?!?! 

5th - I don't like it.

If given a choice, I would prefer Sesame Street or Pocoyo.

Sesame Street - Educational, Better color combinations.

 

Pocoyo - Cutest of all, Educational, Realistic.

Last Day : Free and Easy

Set off early to the famous 龙山寺, pray for health, luck (strike more toto & 4D) and prosperity. 

The temple's landmark

The main entrance. Got LED display!!

Coincidentally, it's 15th of the month, a lot of worshippers praying.

Take train to 西门盯
