補漏天台, 自己也搞掂, 不用找師父, 而且還keep 到幾年!
用漏補王的話, 天台補極都係漏
村屋連天台己47年， 頂樓天花甩灰漏水己常見, 早四年前嘗試自己落手補漏, 在油漆店買, 問老板: 「補天台用什麼?」, 老板介紹下, 買下十罐漏補王(HK$110/罐)。
像泥一樣, 內裏有個膠袋入住. 好彩的會買到比較淋身, 用油漆掃容易推開。 吾好彩有時會硬, 不容易推開。
鋪好整個天台後, 以為吾爆裂的話可以定到5年吧。 但問題在2 年後開始出現。
經過風吹雨打日曬雨淋, 的確沒漏水。 以為眼看沒爆裂便好, 但天花又開始甩灰。
漏補王乾了後是一層皮, 不是補漏
甩灰的天台位置大概沒有裂痕, 用鏟敲下地面, 空心。
一撬開地面一層漏補王發現, 內裏竟藏水. 經過這兩年雨水竟藏在漏補王和地面中間。
在冬天沒有下大雨己幾個月, 但中間的水份仍未散去。
最壞的情況是要把之前的漏補王鏟起。 但有些位置鏟不起來, 卻滿是漏補王的缺口。
超簡單方法, 問題解決!
後來買了另外一種補漏膠, 它是另外一種物料用來補裂縫夾口, 也可補天台面, 牆壁裂縫。
這是一套石屎膠大概(HK$150-180), 把兩罐油溝埋一齊, 便成了。 (一罐是膠水,一罐是乾化劑, 要溝全罐, 不要溝剩)
之前要清理一下, 鏟得到的便鏟起, 不能鏟起的, 也不怕, 把石屎膠倒落去, 然後用油掃掃好, 把夾口位鋪好 (最好一塊過不要斷開, 有窿的話要補好, 不然雨水便會從窿窿罅罅滲入)
油好幾個地方
顏色只得一種, 黃黃地, 沒有其他顏色選擇, 但重要是成功補漏。 它的強項有幾點:
- 質地像蜜糖, 非常容易推開, 五分鐘內己經補好一兩個位置。
- 滲漏式, 它會滲入去窿窿罅罅到, 乾左之後會硬左, 形成補漏功能。
- 耐熱, 一般過了整個冬天夏天也不會冷縮熱漲。 圖3. 補好兩年, 到現在也沒有天花甩灰漏水情況. 圖1,2 是剛上星期補。
溝的時候有兩個重點:
- 兩罐油要全部倒落去一個桶, 要全部。
- 要攪均勻。
否則像圖4, 一桶油溝得未均勻, 一部份的乾化劑多D, 一部份少D, 便形成不同顏色了。 這裏用了兩套油。
圖1,2,3, 攪完全均勻, 顏色便會一至
油好之後, 它會滲入窿窿罅罅到, 等它乾。
重點是滲入窿窿罅罅內, 干了會變硬左的膠, 做到補漏效果, 黐實石屎表面不易被撬開
如果是裂縫, 鋪了一層油之後, 它會滲入裂縫內, 我到第二天再檢查, 裂縫仍然在。 這個情況不是它爆裂, 而是它滲了入窿窿罅罅之間, 此時再補多一層便可。
圖上, 一條裂縫油了一層, 乾了, 我回來再檢查時, 那條裂縫仍在, 我便再補一次. 乾了之後便是這樣, 看不見裂縫。
看見兩個顏色佳因第一次溝得吾均勻。 第二次溝好一點。
完成
油掃乾了後不能再用, 所以我在淘寶買了十支4吋掃($2/支), 每次我油十分鐘收工, 到第二天再油。 不境鏟膠及清理的時間是最耐, 油油是最簡單, 像油蜜糖般容易。
到現在己補好兩年的地方, 己沒有再甩灰漏水, 簡單也可一人搞定。此終天台有機會被隔離高處物件撞到, 有很多隔離左右吹來的垃圾鐵通鐵板之類的硬物, 如果撞裂, 到時再補。
很好用, 不防一試。

Traffic behind Kuwait
Kuwait is a beautiful country that people rarely mention when suggesting new places to travel. Tucked right above the Persian Gulf, Kuwait has one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world to commemorate its freedom, overshadowing the authentic beauty of its number of mosques, museums, and other historic sites. When you go around the city, apart from taxis, bus services make up Kuwait’s entire public transport network as the country currently has no rail infrastructure. Several railways have been planned for many years but no plans have materialized.
Kuwait has several tourist attractions that you’ll enjoy visiting. I will list for you some of the top attractions you must visit when you travel there.
Al Hamra – City this the tallest tower in Kuwait and the 15th tallest sculpted tower in the world.
Liberation Tower – this is the second tallest building in Kuwait.
The Grand Mosque – This is the largest mosque in Kuwait.
Those are the main attraction you cannot miss. You can take bus from airport to those attraction easily. Further, most road signs are in English and Arabic, although there are no signs posted in many streets. From https://www.visit-kuwait.com, traffic is a major problem here, as the vehicle numbers on the roads are growing by the year, and the government is seriously addressing this issue by improving the roads and developing transport links to include a rapid transit system along the coast.
How to get around the attractions
You can buy single and Day pass tickets from the bus driver as you get on the bus. Pay cash to the bus driver as you get on the bus for single tickets. If you’re making several journeys in the day a Day pass ticket may well save money. The driver will also be able to advise you on the best ticket to get. The ticket fee from citybus company are almost all about 200 fils, 250 fils, 300 fils and 500 fils.
The bus network is extensive and economy. The bus from Kuwait Public Transport Company which has air-conditioned and very comfortable. Intercity trips cost just a few fils per ride. The City Bus routes are similar but isn’t quite as reliable. Both services are used primarily by lower-income workers travelling to their jobs. Will autofare.net help to improve the bus service and reliability? I guess this is a good opportunity if this help to improve the experience of travel.
From statista.com, the total number of hotels in Kuwait in 2017, by class. In that year, there were 42 hotel apartments, 13 three star hotels, 10 four star hotels, nine resorts, ten five star hotels, four hotels with two star and two hotels with a one star ratings in Kuwait.

What is the best of Parisan Macau
This is the off peak season to travel to Macau, so we have been staying for several days here because less people and the rooms are in good price. The Parisian is the newest hotel for Sands Macau at this moment. Sooner there will be Londoner but it is not open for public yet. So now, what is the best things to do in Parisian and what are the good places to visit? I’m not visiting those big attraction this time but I will be visiting some local store.
There are many shops and restaurants here but the Le Buffet in Parisian is the best buffet (among those other buffet in Sands Macau) I have ever tried. I will introduce 2 dishes that I won’t miss.
Please don’t miss the above pasta macaroni, it is covered by some melting cheese, this dishes only appear at Lunch buffet.
Indian food is one of the thing I never miss in the Le Buffet.
Of course there are a lot of amazing food here below, please get your own tea no matter Jasmine orange tea (cold), honey lemon water, please help yourself.
It’s time to go out for visit. In the front door of Parisian Macau, there are several public bus on the street going to the north (Macau Peninsula). In the opposite street, there are bus going to the south (Coloane). To the City Center in the north, buses can do like 21A, 26A, others buses also go to north but different part. I always took 21A or 26A as they are quite frequent. You can buy a Macau pass from any convenient store or supermarket. It charge half price for almost all the buses. So, that is MOP3 no matter which bus stop you get on and drop off. I like to take bus in macau as it is so easy to travel by foreigner and very economy when using Macau Pass.
In the city center, get off at Almeida Ribeiro / Weng Hang station. We visit the canned fish store Lola das Conservas Macau, they store are so attractive and all the products are from Portugal.
Their official fb: facebook.com/lojadasconservasmacau
Guia Fortress was under construction.
Two restaurant I would like to recommended:
Restaurante Escada, Traditional Portugese food, highly recommended.
Cafe SAB8, new style of portugese food. Good to try.
Apart from restaurant, some local stores are also great:
Tim Fat Vun Chai Chi, shark fins. I have ordered the one MOP75, actually I saw other people ordered MOP50 with more fins inside than mine. However, mine are with some other ingredients inside. The soup was delicious.
Alua e Comidas Portuguese “Kam In”, 100 Years old, Cultural heritage in macau. Official fb : www.kaminportuguesafood.com
Sir Robert Ho Tung Library
To the south of Macau Coloane, there are some good places. Take the same bus, like 21A, 26A, from the opposite direction of The Parisian, to the south. You can visit Coloane. I also visit Cheoc Van Beach if you don’t mind to walk up and down a little bit of hill.
Take a sandwich and have a rest of me. The beach is small and the sand is tough. But I have a good walk here and really less people around.
Coloane Library
Pointe Cais de Coloane, the pier. Some stores selling shark fins, salty fish. I go there after 5pm and I got some discount for salty fish as they were about closing.
Time to go back to hotel. Just at the bus stop, there was bus no. 25 as well going back to The Parisian.
For Le Buffet in Parisian, can buy discounted coupon here: https://www.klook.com/activity/4959-the-parisian-le-buffet-macau/?krt=r22&krid=d7ed4902-d233-48b6-4a53-a5f5eaccbbb9?7353
At the end, it’s good to have a rest and do foot massage in the room.
The ice-cream in front of the casino, I like the hazelnut one.
More image for the buffet here:
If you have spare money, can go to play in the casino as well, but I will not recommended to stay there for a long time.

China e-wallet in Silk Road
In Aug 2019, I had a journey to the north-west of China for 8 days. Dun Huang, Turpan, Ürümqi, Zhangye. It’s a fascinating, exciting place as there are many 4A or even 5A Tourist Attractions of China. Those places have popular fruits as well like dry grapes Turpan, mellon in Xinjiang, Guazhou, etc. Actually, most of the shopping place accept China e-wallet like wechat, alipay. We went to the bar at the roof-top of the hotel in Dunhuang and ate some Shish kebab, roasted mushroom and melon juice. The melon juice and roasted mushroom are delicious. Luckily my friend had Alipay China e-wallet, otherwise, I still have my own credit card I can use but I need to bear with the rate and charge. In the souvenir shop, e-wallet is necessary even for a post card.
But there are still some street stalls like this below accept cash. Some shops in the open market accepting both cash and e-wallet.
Back in Hong Kong, I decide to activate China e-wallet like wechat and alipay. I hooked up to use e-wallet like Payme, AlipayHK, Wechat, Apple Pay, but never the China’s one. At last, I have made succeed. There are 4 easy steps below without going to China:
1. Buy a sim card.
There are 2 different types: monthly or prepaid.
In Prepaid , there are 2 different charge type : RMB19/month or RMB6/month
I bought this one (one card with 2 numbers) which charge RMB6 per month, the cost I’ve paid for the card is $250 in Tsuen Wan but i’m sure it will be cheaper buying in other place like Sham Shui Po.
This card contain RMB50 inside. It will basically charge RMB6 each month for the Caller ID function, this is to maintain the card even if you didn’t use the card. RMB1 per 800MB data in China and RMB1 per 30MB data in Hong Kong. It will charge RMB1/day even use only 0.1MB on that day.
2. Online submit the True Identity Registration form
Fill in a hard copy application form (can be collected from the sim card seller). Fill out your Name, your china number (showing on the sim card). Follow the steps on the QR code in the leaflet of the sim card. In online application form, you will need to capture your China document, hard copy form, and your picture at real time. Make sure your picture is clearly show your face and above waist, without holding the sim card.
Once submit success, you will see the Submission success screen. If not, please do again.
To check your result, use the same QR code you scan before (showing on the leaflet of sim card), select person center -> my order -> online registration.
3. Open a mainland bank account
Can do in any branch of the Bank of China in Hong Kong, if you already have a BOC hong kong account, please bring along only your ID, China document and the sim card. This action is to fill out the document they provided and they will submit to the branch in China. However, you will have to wait for less than 10 days before you collect your debit card.
When you collect your debit card, at the same time, you can remit money at the counter free of service charge. This free remittance charge only apply at the time when you collect your debit card.
4. Link your debit card to Wechat or Alipay
Wechat: For iphone , this is the same app as the HK and China wechat, just only Wallet region is different
- Open wechat , Go to “Wechat Pay”
- At the top right corner, click “…”, select FAQ
- Select “How can a WeChat Pay HK user activate and use the Mainland China wallet”
- One the First paragraph, click “Click here”
- Follows the steps to add card (debit card), document ID (if you are carrying the Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macau Residents, enter the first Alphabet and the first 8-digit only)
- You can then switch wallet region, in wechat pay, select top right corner “…”, click “Select Wallet Region”
- Now you can top up your balance or receive RMB sent from your friend.
Alipay: Please download another app for Alipay China. It is different app from AlipayHK.
- Select “Me” at the bottom
- Select “Bank Cards”
- Add card, similar process as above.
Alipay and Wechat pay let you shop for goods and services on the internet and even in the real “bricks and mortar” world. So, when travelling to China next time, my real wallet is lighter as I will be using e-wallet.
Kawachi Fuji-en is a private garden exclusive for wisteria which opens only wisteria blooming season in late April and autumn foliage. It is one of CNN’s “31 Most Beautiful Places In Japan.” Kawachi Fujien is only open twice a year for wisteria in spring and coloured leaves in autumn. The wisteria garden’s opening period between late April and beginning of May (varies depending on the weather). I visit on 26 April 2019 and I buy the entrance ticket online through Japanican earlier in March. The entrance ticket is 500 yen each, however, you may request to pay extra 500-1000 yen if the flower has grown a lot. At the time, I pay 500 yen extra and heard that the flower is 60% grown.
During Wisteria Flowers period (Late April – beginning of May), there are 22 kinds of wisteria, e.g Noda Nagafuji, Alborosea, Reddish purple, Red, White, Violaceoplena, Long, Medium, Short.
During Autumn Leaves period (Mid. of November – early December), There are approximately 700 trees and there are 18 trees more than 70 years old.
The area of the wisteria garden is more or less than a football field, 1-2 hours enough for visiting. There are about 3300 square meters of large wisteria trellis, Wisteria dome and Wisteria tunnel.
How to go there from Hakata(博多) station
Check the train schedule time from Hakata to Yahata(八幡) station. You can check by the apps “JapanTransit” in english or “乘換案內” in japanese kanji. The result below shows examples of the way to go from Hakata to Yahata. Both trains below can go with your North Kyushu JR Pass. No reservation is needed.
I bought JR pass in cheaper price officially here:
3/5 Day JR All/North Kyushu Pass (Japan Pick Up)
At yahata station, you can take the free shuttle bus from station to the garden. The time schedule of the shuttle bus this year: https://kawachi-fujien.com/pdf/2019_shuttle.pdf
The official say that you must have the entrance ticket of the garden in order to take this shuttle bus, however, they didn’t check my tickets. The bus took 30 mins to go there. If you take taxi, it could be about 3000 yen.
Garden opening hours: 8:00~18:00
Date: 20 April to 6 May 2019

Hipster tour at The Mills
The Mills building was formerly a cotton-spinning factory owned by Nan Fung Textiles in 60’s, it’s operated until 1995. Now is being transformed into a single coherent complex which is located in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. Many textile factories were located in Tsuen Wan, a large industrial town in the New Territories that once serviced as a small market centre for surrounding Hakka villagers.
The Mills consists of three renovated cotton-spinning factory buildings: Mill 4, Mill 5 and Mill 6.
You may ask where are Mill 1,2 & 3?
The missing 3 buildings were where the Hong Kong’s movie (Lifeline) taking place in 1997. A big fire erupted the factory and because of many hazardous objects present, an explosion occurs, releasing toxic gas, the buildings were totally destroyed and it is replaced by a housing estate nowadays.
The Centre for Heritage, Arts, and Textile (CHAT) is housed in the former Mill 6, alongside The Mills Fabrica (a techstyle incubator) and The Mills Shopfloor (an experiential retail space). CHAT is a unique exhibition and studio space that weave together contemporary art design, science, heritage, community and craftsmanship. Shopfloor is the complex’s experiential retail zone. There’s also a rooftop, The Deck, which contains a vegetable patch for the complex’s restaurants, as well as a 20-metre wall designated for commissioned artworks.
Gallery 1 and 2 are venues for CHAT’s own curated exhibitions and programmes to explore diverse subjects interwoven into textile culture. From contemporary art to design, CHAT will introduce a fresh lens to re-discover textile not only as a material but also explore its metaphorical meanings, invoking new dialogues about textile and contemporary culture.
Visitors can also experience a re-created textile mill in virtual reality by $15/ppl. CHAT shop echoes the vision of their exhibitions and programmes. Besides CHAT’s publications, they collaborate with artists, designers and partners to bring you delightful offerings that immerse your senses into textile creations around the world.

3 basic steps for fast finding a hotel
What is your top searching criteria for a room? Price first or location first or facility first? If you are travel for free, it must be a hard time to find a hotel which consist of Economy, Convenient, Enough facility, etc. It is not the basic things that a hotel must offer, but there are only 3 easy steps to find a hotel which are almost closed to you needs.
STEP 1. USING GOOGLE MAP TO LOCATE THE DISTRICT (THIS IS LOCATION ORIENTED)
This action can achieve two requirements: Location and Price.
Type in the airport name that you landed on Google map. It is more accurate to enter the airport name but not only the city or country name in order to locate where you will land. Zoom in to the district you go, and then you can see there are some hotel icons. If you are travel with a car, you can zoom out a little to find the place you want to go first. Once you are zooming in enough, you can see hotel icons, click on any hotel, you will find a list of price that the most popular hotel booking site offer on the left panel. This is powerful that it shows the price comparison and the location in one go. However, this price information does not included the date and the type of rooms available, it only show the cheapest price offered on the same hotel by different site. At this moment, you are able to find the way of transport from airport to the city or to the hotel directly by using google map’s direction. You can see if there ares restaurants and bars , or supermarket around.
STEP 2. CHECK THE ROOM AVAILABILITY (THIS IS PRICE ORIENTED)
It is good enough to select 2 to 3 hotel booking sites according to the left panel on the google map. From the hotel booking site, 3 things must be filled, the specific hotel name, date and number of people. For example if you travel in a group of 3 people, instead of triple room, some room with twin or double bed also capable for extra person with an extra sofa in the room or allow to request extra bed depend on the size of the room. If the room does not fitted your needs, you can :
a. try other hotel in Google map and check again.
or
b. select “Sorting by distance” that you can list out all the nearest hotel to the hotel you selected before with price.
STEP 3. CHECK THE ROOM FACILITY
In the page which showing a list of hotel room, check the feature of the room to see if it meet your requirement.
Lastly, remember to read the comments. I normally read around 20-40 comments to see any special things that may affect my decision. Except the comment of service and quality of room or meal, something you can’t think of but the hotel site may not mentioned. For example the location is opposite to a funeral parlour, the fee of car park beside, etc. People can tell one thing that may change you decision, cause people always look for a hotel which has several top priorities. Except Price and Location and Facility, a Meal quality could also be important if it is a rural resort place.
Lastly, if the specific room is sold out, it is always good to check with that room for several days from different sites. I recently experience a couple of time that the targeted room is available again but it was sold out since I started searching a week before.

Best Pho in Ho Chi Minh City
Food journey continue in Vietnam. The Hanoi and Saigon styles of pho differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs. A local tour guide introduce me this restaurant which is 40 years history. There are still tables available when we got there. I believed it will be full of people during peak hour.
The spirit of Pho is the broth and some typical garnishes. The southern Vietnamese pho broth is less oily. The first thing to do when having the Pho is the get a spoon and taste the soup. The broth I have tasted is thin and delicious compare with the broth of instance noodles which is thick. Once you have tasted, you will have an idea of how many herbs, lime juice you would like to put. As I like thin soup, I will squeeze less than half pieces of lime juice. Vietnamese dishes are typically served with lots of greens, herbs, vegetables, and various other accompaniments, such as dipping sauces, hot and spicy pastes such as Sriracha, onions, chili peppers, culantro, lime, bean sprouts, and Thai basil.
They provide unlimited culantro, bean sprouts, Thai basil, fish sauce. To made the pho wonderful, I put as many bean sprouts as I can to add a crunchy feeling. I will put 3 pieces of culantro but I divided it into 3-4 pieces of each. I will put 2 pieces of Thai basil as the flavor is thick. Putting a little onions and chilli peppers to make it fruitful. This great variety of fresh herbs is totally difference from the one in northern style which generally include only diced green onion and cilantro, garlic, chili sauce and quẩy
The result of the taste is great, only the slices of beef is normal. For the main spirit of Vietnamese cuisine, fish sauce, is to be dipped by some other dished that we ordered. I strongly recommend to order the crispy pork spring roll and it is perfect to go with the fish sauce.
I came here Ho Chi Minh City the first time on Feb 2019 and there are too many good foods like seafood, dumpling and fresh fruits to try.

One day sight seeing in Ho Chi Minh City
War Remnants Museum
Museum store more than 20,000 exhibits. In the American crime showrooms, you cannot imagine how the soldiers have done for the people of Vietnam during the war. The influence of chemical weapon Agent Orange remains nowadays.
