Typhoon No. 8

Ok. I got my wish. I am experiencing Typhoon No. 8 now. As like NOW!

Typhoon No. 3 was in force yesterday night, and I only got to know when my classmate called me. This shows how impt the local tv and radio is. Luckily I happened to be at Tung Chung's Citygate outlet with dear Serena, and got a good deal with a Giodarno umbrella which claimed that it will not flipped even in the opposite wind direction. Got it for like $7+! *happy!*
The weather changed very fast. While waiting for bus to return home, it was only a drizzle and felt actually quite stuffy. Only the distance of like a few bus stops, when I alighted from the bus, Oh my, the wind was like super strong! And I quote myself, "not only Ah duan will be blown away, I think I would be too!"

Woke up this morning at 7+am by a sms from a classmate saying that Typhoon no. 8 is in force. Turned on the tv and indeed, the No.8 signal was in forced at 4am in the morning. Reports about those "famous" bamboo scaffoldings collapsed, a ferry or something hit the pier, and the best - several window panes of Hang Seng Bank HQ in Central were blown off!! I was there at Central yesterday loh!
Oh, I must say that the reporters were very pitiful, need to go out just to give us reports. *salutes* and of course the firefighters!

Really wanted to experience the Typhoon No. 8, but me being a scaredy cat waited and waited until the sun came back shining, and rain stopped before I quickly rush off to the nearest supermarket. Did met with some strong wind and rain while on the way back.

 Took a quick photo and zoomed back into the hotel!
