Targets for 2009

I've been reading books bought/brought back from Taiwan since I arrived home.

The first target in 2009 is to list out all the books I've bought and share my 'Reader's Report' :) Together with this, I hope to finish all the books by Easter (the progress is very optimistic; I've already finished 2 out of 7 [the eighth book is a grammar dictionary =P])

Another target I suddenly (really suddenly) want to achieve is to visit all the museums in Hong Kong, which I haven't been to. So far I should have been to all the museums in "city" (except the Maritime one :P) but I'm really worrying about those in remote areas. To do so, I will first list out all the museums in Hong Kong ^_^

Here's a list from LCSD website:

LCSD Museums

New Territories
1. Hong Kong Heritage Museum <-- I have visited there once when it first opened.
2. Hong Kong Railway Museum <-- I thought I have been to there during those "Primary School Outing".
3. Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery cum Heritage Trail Visitors Centre <-- I know this one long before but have never been to there, even adjacent areas :P
4. Sam Tung Uk Museum <-- I must have been to there via some school outings or learning tours.
5.Sheung Yiu Folk Museum <-- Well, in fact, I've never been to the "REAL" New Territories :P

Hong Kong & Kowloon
6. Hong Kong Film Archive <-- I love going to Film Museums! I've been to the one in Kaohsiung as well!!!!
7. Hong Kong Museum of Art <-- It seems to me a must to go there regularly :P
8. Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware <-- No reason haven't been there while the location is so convenient!
9. Hong Kong Museum of History <-- I think I went there when it first opened and ever since then, I've been there a few times with my parents and brother.
10. Law Uk Folk Museum <-- Umum... I think I mixed up all the "xx Uk" museums :P I don't know exactly which one or which few ones I've been to during Primary School days.
11. Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum <-- I don't remember I've been to this one :P
12. Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence <-- This is my target! Last time when I arrived there, it was closed ><
13. Hong Kong Science Museum <-- Once upon a time, it was an excellent place to visit! However, after visiting other places' Science Museums, I've totally lost my interest here.
14. Hong Kong Space Museum <-- I still love to go watching movies!
15. Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre <-- I went there once for my Art homework; hope to visit there again!
15. The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre <-- I've totally forgot this one! I haven't been to Kowloon Park for ages though I wanted to pay it a visit when it first opened in 2005 :P
16. The Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum <-- I was "brought" to the museum by my father; frankly, the museum is not big at all but much to see :P I spent almost 30 min. in reading one of the letters to Dr Sun and we watched a mini-movie there. I think we are the few who spent more than 3 hours there!!! :P
17. Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Gallery <--Oh!!! I've mixed this up with the Coastal Defense museum :P but how about the Maritime one? Anyway, they are my targets this year!

Other Museums
18. Art Museum, the Chinese University of Hong Kong <-- I was a CUHK student but I don't think I've been to there.
19. Hong Kong Correctional Service Museum <-- When has it been set up? Is this the one we called "Stanley Prison" during the Primary School outing?
20. Hong Kong Maritime Museum <-- Oh!! This one is in Stanley! Then I've been to there la! ^_^ Maybe I can pay a visit again to refresh my memories.
21. Hong Kong Planning and Infrastructure Exhibition Gallery <-- Oh, why we have such "interesting" museum? Will there be anybody really interested in Planning?
22. Lions Nature Education Centre <-- Of 'coz, school children (for our generation =D) must have visited this.
23. Museum of Ethnology <-- well, how about having meal at the restuarant nearby? OK - let's make it my target this year!
24. Museum of Medical Sciences <-- Dunno why this must be an item on the outing list and somehow high school kids are just addicted to the word "Medical" and must have paid a visit there.
24. Po Leung Kuk Museum <-- I've never been to Po Leung Kuk so I must not have visited this.
25. Police Museum <-- In fact I quite enjoy the visit there; I found it very lovely :P
26. Racing Museum <-- No idea what it is!! I dunno Jockey Club has a museum!
27. Tung Wah Museum <-- No idea x 2: Target!
28. University Museum and Art Gallery, the University of Hong Kong <-- Well, I've only been to the Entrance :P
29. Exchange Exhibition Hall <-- Oh! I just know TODAY we can visit there!!!!

Oh! HK also has 29 museums on LCSD official list! And in fact many other Exhibitions Venues are available such as those Private Galleries, Artists Workshops, and of 'coz the different Universities.

Also, the building heritages and other living "museums" may be of more learning/appreciating values and interests.

Well, it must be a fruitful year in 2009 :) Let's have a thorough plan.
