story: why are you crying? (8)

© copyright 2005 not zero workshop.

山洞裡
又黑又濕
我怕
我見到一團光

原來
是一隻發光的蝙蝠
他在哭

我：「為甚麼你哭了？」
阿福：「我全身發光，太刺眼，害我失眠。」

我卻喜歡發光的阿福。


The cave is dark and wet.
It is very frightening to walk in the dark.
But I see a dim light around the corner.

I see a bat.
A crying bat.

I ask, 'Why are you crying?'
The gloomy bat replies, 'I am a shining bat. My body is so shiny that I cannot sleep.'

But I like this shiny bat.

let's continue our story...

幸好，迷了路的Not和Olav遇上鯨魚小藍。
小藍把他們送回家。

不久，Not再次出發。

long, long ago, Major Nils Olav and Not went for an expedition.
After reaching the tip of the gigantic Iceberg, they met Blue, the little whale.
Blue took them home safely.

Not goes for another journey.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (1)

it's the talk of the town.
we have been feeding the info of its opening everyday.
it's on tv, newspaper, radio, almost everywhere.

actually, i have never imagined myself going to the disneyland before the grand opening.
it's a rehearsal day by invitation.

here it comes...

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (2)

i arrived at sunny bay around 10:00.
after i entered the gate outside mtr station, i saw the fountain.
you'll see mickey surfing.
very crowded. could not get close to the fountain.
everyone was very busy, busy taking photos.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (3)

it's better leave the crowd and get into disneyland.
we had several strategies to get rid of the crowds and play the most popular games.
so we rushed.
...sorry, no pictures at the front gate. ... we were in a hurry to see buzz lightyear.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (4)

...buzz...o....buzz!!!

regardless of any cartoon characters on our way, went to tomorrowland.
we went for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
we stayed in queue for less than 15 minutes.
the game was fun!!! i hit level 3.

my group decided not to go for Space Mountain.
i had it once at tokyo disneyland. ... i don't like it.

but one of my friends wanted to try.
unfortunately, the queuing time was 180 mins. the fast pass could not be used any more.
so, she tried 'single rider'. it took her around 20 mins to get in.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (5)

after seeing buzz, we went to fantasyland.
can you see the queue around the corner?
sleeping beauty was there.
sorry my head was too big, so you could not see her at all.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (6)

we went to see winnie-the-pooh
of course, we needed to queue...
while i was in the line, i had this funny impression...
the booth looked very much alike...
Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park (Lai-Yuen). ...

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (7)

then we went for Mickey's PhilharMagic

very good!!! must watch!!!

remember to use fast pass.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (8)

after the film, we went for the 1:00 p.m. parade.
very, very, very, very, very hot.
i was melting...

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (9)

finally... the parade!!! my friend...my friend... my friend...


alice in the wonderland...my favourite story


the final...also the standard.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (10)

another show - festival of the lion king
i've been waiting in the heat for too long,...so i almost felt asleep in the air-cond theatre.
the musical was quite good.

remember to use fast pass.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (12)

merry-go-round... i like it.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (11)

the dinning hall...we had fast food at the grand hall.
many people were waiting. it's little going for 'yum-cha' when i was young.
food was alright. my favourite was grilled chicken breast and its side dish.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (13)

Mad Hatter Tea Cups...keep spinning...i felt dizzy.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (14)

spinning planets... fly me to the moon...
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me ~

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (15)

i saw a tree. a tree with green bubbles.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (16)

the sky was blue...
my legs were numb...

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (17)

it's around 6:30 p.m.
we caught the train and traveled around the theme park.



we left the train at 7:15 p.m. just right for a show at the Storybook Theater.
must see. the stage effect was wonderful.
the most important thing was i didn't need to walk around the park to catch these characters.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (18)

it's pretty dark after the show. but i like the lights.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (19)

it's night time.
best time for adventure.
we rode a raft to Tarzan Island.
we visited his tree house. nice view from the top.

then we went for a jungle cruise.
we were haunted by the wild animals (however, they are not real animals.), water effects, fire effects.
the effects were so great that i forgot to take pictures.

we also saw the fireworks while having the cruise.
so i was quite split at that time
because i had a horrible water and fire effect on my right hand side; i had fireworks on my left.
very busy to see both things with two eyes.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (20)

it's firework... pretty errie, wasn't it?

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (21)

dinner time...30% off after 9:00 p.m.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (22)

time to leave.
finally, i got a closer look to the fountain.
not bad.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (23)

It's a small world afterall...
good night!

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (24)

many thanks to the lee's family.
without your invitation, i won't be able to have an early excursion to the park.

interruption...

Dear friends,

I have to stop telling my ‘crying’ story because I have something exciting to tell you.

Zero went to Hong Kong Disneyland’s Rehearsal Day yesterday!

So, I will take you to Zero’s excursion at Disney.

Cheers,
Not_zero


P.S. Some of you could have asked me why I did not take Not along.
Well, he loses his way home. I guess he is somewhere around the North or South Pole with Major Nils Olav. Poor thing! Dear Not, we miss you~

我抺去兩行眼淚
跟Olav上尉探險去

路上，牠哭起來

我：「為甚麼你哭了？」
Olav：「其實我是路痴，我不懂回家的路。」

看著Olav，我失去勇氣
沮喪地哭了。



I wipe my tears and join Major Nils Olav's expedition.

Olav does not speak all the way.

When we reach the tip of the ice-berg.
He cries.

I ask, 'Why are you crying, Olav?'
Olav murmurs, 'I am lost...'

I look at Olav
I lose my way home
lose my courage
lose my tears.

flash earth...

a friend recommends Flash Earth to me.
i like it!
i may travel to almost everywhere on earth. it zooms so close that i see the buildings very clearly.
all you need is the latitude and longitude of the place where you want to see.
i went to the Forbidden City this morning.

then i went to anu.
i can even see my college.
also the honeycoomb building (coombs) and the space ship (science ctr)

fantastic!

這是一個想哭的晚上
沒有星星的柔光
天下起大雨
我的衣服全濕透
抬頭看見大恐龍
牠來看我

淚一點一點結在地上
是我的
是大恐龍的

我不知道
真的不知道


It's a starless night.
It rains heavily.
I look upon the sky.
I see Prince Gigabite.
He is crying.
My clothes are wet all over.

Tears fall like star-drops.
Whether they are mine or Giga's.
I don't know.
I really don't know.

i have just reactivated the comments. i think the function 'word verification' will help getting rid of the unwanted advertisements. feel free to drop me a line.

drawing board

try to 'personalise' my drawing board.
so i put 'not' & 'zero' ink stamps on it.
well...'zero' does not look very good.

我到公園餵大象去
可是大象一見我帶給牠的香蕉
便掉眼淚

我：「小灰，你為甚麼哭了？」
小灰：「沒有甚麼，只是看見香蕉，我想哭。」

我想知道令人傷心的香蕉是甚麼味道
我吃一根
小灰色也吃一根

讓我們一起把悲傷吞到肚子裡



I go to see Big Gray at the park.
I bring him bananas.
He cries when he sees the bananas.

I ask, 'Why are you crying?'
Big Gray, 'When I see bananas, I can't help crying.'

I have no idea how an unhappy banana tastes like.
So I have one.
Big Gray has another one.

It tastes like... real sadness.

午後
巨型的蚯蚓在地下鑽出來
是一條哭泣的蚯蚓
淚滴在我的頭上

我：「為甚麼你哭了？」
大蚯蚓：「泥土走進我的眼睛，痛得很。」


A gigantic worm emerge.
It's a crying worm.
Its tears soak my hat.

I ask, 'Why are you crying?'
Big worm says, 'dirt gets in my eyes. It really hurts.'

我：「你為甚麼哭了？」
小藍：「我學會噴水，我高興得哭了。」

我常常哭
每天小哭七次，大哭三場
我的手帕濕透
他有氣無力對我說：「不要哭了，我快得風濕病。」

我問我自己
「為甚麼我哭了？」
我不懂
我真的不懂


I cry all the time.
I sob every hour and weep twice everyday.
Everybody tells me not to cry any more.

So I ask myself
"Why am I crying?"
I have no idea.
