Rainy Friday.

Yesterday I brought my girls to HKU for their Chinese History assignment. After briefly showing them around the campus, we ended up in the art museum where the 1911 Revolution photography exhibition was being held. We were all amazed by how much could happen in a century. And God knows what they would think of us after another century has gone by. They'd probably blame us for destroying their world with pollutions that could never be mended. Anyway, we had a little cozy time chatting with our voice low, sharing thoughts about important and unimportant things, before we parted one another.

The bus station on Bonham Road was overcrowded with flocks and flocks of people. I was heading to Hollywood Road but it's impossible for me to get on any minibuses that would take me there. So I jumped on 40, and got off at Robinson Road. I was in a mood of walking, not to mention the Mid-Levels is my favourite place for a stroll.

I took the stairs which went all the way down to Caine Road. At the end of the stairs there was a Roman Catholic cathedral hidden away in a cluster of buildings. I was astounded to see such a place with such an architecture - it's a Gothic one with flying buttresses and pointed stone arches. I wondered what's it like inside.

Then I crossed the road to Arbuthnot Road, made a turn into Hollywood Road and finally to Flow Bookstore. I was looking for Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains Of The Day, but it's not available, so eventually I picked up Enduring Love, a novel by Ian McEvan. Everytime I visited the bookstore the owner was there, busying himself at the register desk. He's a middle-aged, well-mannered man who's quiet and helpful. And I like him a lot.

When I got out of the bookstore it's raining hard. And I loved it.
