I went hiking with my dad, mum, sister and friend at the Kowloon Reservoir.
The weather was sunny, and I felt very excited. I brought my backpack, water and some fruit. I saw so many monkeys. My favourite part of the hike was collecting tree branches with my friend.
In the end, I felt very tired but proud. I want to go hiking again because it was so much fun.

I visited a fantastic place in China called Zuohai. It has unique things you won't find anywhere.
People danced to super fun songs at the Deepsea Music Concert – it felt like an underwater party. I watched talented performers sing, act, and do cool tricks on stage in Ka Ka Theatre.
The gigantic ocean theatre had magical water shows with lights and music. The Jumping Machine ride blasts you with strong wind – it feels like you're falling from the sky.
I learned that if you only play and don't look around, you'll miss cool details.

Student council has been a fun and engaging experience.
On our field trips, we visited Catherine's Puppies. While we were there, we had a fun experience. We baked puppy treats before we visited the centre. After we came back, we raised awareness and held a donation drive asking for dog toys.
Then we went to Feed Hong Kong and saw all the food donations. Some of the food was from other countries and was brought by Cathay Pacific and other airlines. After we went to Feed Hong Kong, we raised awareness and held a donation drive asking for food.
