There was this red house in Sha Po Old Village, with this pretty girl who lived there. It's now a Pinoy store that sells confectionaries like chips noodles, pop, and a Halo-halo. (a fruit drink smoothy), anyhow, infront there was this gardening area that fell into disuse. (still contains a healthy tree and stuff. (hopefully there arn't any poo pipes or what ever underneath, because we want to throw away the junk and plant stuff. So I suggested those cone junipers (because I'm from Suburbia Calgary, and those things generally dont' really need much care), so yeah we're going to get some gooey dirt around drainage, (I was going to suggest potting soil, but we're a small congregation).

so yea just giving you guys the heads up. I suggest we plant those cone like trees like you find infront of the Hans anderson club's religious santuary. But if those are not indigineous to Lamma Island. I rather plant things that are native to Lamma, and small ones so the roots don't eventually push the cement up or crack. Any suggestions?

Anyways, this is good because I think those nasty bugs sand flies and Muzzies somehow use that as a breeding ground. and with garbage there might hold puddles of water.... besides it's just easier on the eyes. So I'll just read you peoples' posts about trees and stuff. Or I'd just ask Mr Bobsy since he knows about trees and stuff.

We're shooting to do this around November. Man I love this tropicana weather, normally in Canada, we'd be winding down going into winter hibernation mode.Like with climate like this you can go and go and go. IT's just awesome.

Ooooo boy day one of the Terra forming was a lulu. Apparently that pile of ghetto garbage, was well...... ghetto garbage, lots of building materials left over and they just piled sand over it apparently. We'd throw it away, but it still seems to belong to people and most likely they moved away. So I'll just nearly salvage what I can, and put them to the wide and tarp them over, and use the saved land and SAND to fill in holes. Since there's only one of me on this job, I'm going to just roll over the rotting logs (they're habitat for goo bugs but neverless Ingigenous Lammaites. not a fan of bugs, but meh co existance. (but would these creatures say the same thing once they evolve into sythe boned mantises lopping our nuts off (Mantaz character on time Killers game, or giant roaches on Fallout 2 (an American computer game about survivalists retaming California after ww3, or the Giant bug race on Men on Black, staring Will Smith). Meh,

Anyways, some of the trash can't be removed safely. (so I'm cordoning off the unsafe unstable areas with Sand, and tree stumps, and bedding Phase 1 of the garden with silty soil. Man I wish I could have access to peat moss, and other biological natural goodies you guys say. Well I'll read the notes in this section of Lamma, and report on my findings,

the crazy thing is that the head pastor and key members of the congregation are doing missionary work in Thailand, so essensially it's just me. and i need a CAT to likely really do a great job I'll have to come back to it when I'm not to busy return to Lamma...

Also the tennant o this home and gardening storage shed, perhaps would like to sell thier plants at a discount. (I'm a broke ass, and the church is still too small).

Day two, bough a Reaper sythe like hoe, from Wing Ho Co's in town. (I was expecting a smaller hoe tip, (Instead I get this heavy stereotypical Iron aged Chinese kungful weapon) Like a miniature shovelhead! Anyways, that helped to really dislodge some rocks, (I assume the previous guys tried to fill up a tree hole with trash and lumps of rocks. Most of the metal crap belongs to Mr Chou of Million Rich a building supplier I think). next door, he said it's ok for us to move his materials (going to pile it and tarp it. (however it's unsure who owns the front half of the land (there's a dying tree that seems to seperate this strip of land, we we're terra forming the first.

Found some nice tiles (well crappy teal coloured tiles, but neverless, able to use Like if this doesn't belong to anyone, and nobody claims it, I'm donating it to the Habitat for Humanity's reusable material store. They use this to raise money, and people who shop there are just basically looking for cheap materials anyways. And this is plentiful. It's like doning archelogly, I dig in the sand more shit pops out, Especially rocks like these granite rocky road (a ice cream flavour consisting of chips of chcolate, in this context I'm referring to the irregular shapes)... But it's coming along ok. left a stump for Mr Chow, for him to cross into his yard at his request, (its his area after all), and returning a stump for people to sit on, (customers of the Philpeno's store).

I'm getting alot of wacky looks, wonder if Lamma Gung will walk past and see me do my "Shining" inpersation with the Sythe. The hoe looks like a minature reaper's sythe.... We might decide to chop down that dying tree, as it's leafless and dying, who knows.

Production Log day 3
.

found out that the land belongs to two different relatives of the same ancestrial family. Mr C. a V.V. and building goods supplier, and another Mr C (the lot is divided into A and B (mmmm old 80s casettes lol), Mr C (side A), says it's ok to cultiave. Will be cultivating some herbs for the church, and some trees for the enviroment. and beauty.

The Land is divided by a tree, (must return stump for Big Dutch man). Man that guy is strong. Like I was trying to roll a rock I found (behind the garbages beside c-7 store, (They seem so lonely, not to be used. (Hippies and their nature healing lol, (read this in one of those Gaia new age mags in Alberta, this witch (context new aged natural healer wrote article), Anyways enough rambling back to notes.. I perfer to use natural looking stones, than those Chinese meat pie (eggs and pork grey goo), looking cement blob ones, dammit wish people didn't paint crap on them, I want this to look natural. That's why I plugged up a corner with some logs. (Will get to that once the majority of the land has been cultivates (de-garbaged). Honestly doesn't it kill people just to throw this shit in the garbage, like cans and shit on the pier just 12 steps from teh recycling bins. Oh well found some beautiful rocks while quarrying for more trash (to losen up the tiles. Dear Gads, how much fucking tiles are there!!?!!?!? Hell donate this shit to Kyokushin Karate or something. gahhhhh! (no they're the glass kind, cut feet.

I can't even donate them to Habitat, 1)I'll cost too much to transport it there, (the logistics of resources), (anybody up for one of those dances where we break plates and shit? lol). Neverless I want to save every square inch of the Sha Po Garden. (I want it to be for community to grow food, but to really make it look nicer, maybe throw in some wacky shrubs.

Anyways, back to the rocks, one stubborn bastard didn't fall into my cart, so I tried to apply the rolly polly archemedes forumla of rolling it along it's pivot points, My Chinese hoe is super strong man, I couldn't do this with a dinky "Yard Works" one I got at Canadian Tire... (that's like an envelop sized thing This is a mannly man, man ancient Iron Aged Chinese iron aged weight.

Again speaking of manny man dudes. This Netherlands bloke just picked that rock up like a watermellon!?!!!?!?!? Hey no fair, why didn't God make Chinese super mutants with longer limbs and shit. It's like you're playing warcraft and I'm a puny Gnome :_(...

Finally I got through to the bottom of that bottomless sink hole of crap. Yegads, what the hell did they throw in there lol. Anyhow, mopping up the residual litter. Tomorrow, This gives me a bit more wiggle room.... to swing the "axe around" suspect there are more rocky goodies for me to build the retainer wall. Odd though, it seemed that half of the flower bed wall was build a while ago, probaly in the 80s or 90s, but then abandoned, and I'm continuing it?

The Fishieries and Agricultural conservation department gives out these wacky bushes for free. I might like to take that up plant along the grey wall, the tree and the shrubs will have a grudge match for root space though. These bushes are medicinal too. Not sure what they do that's what Pastor D says.

geeze and I though this was going to be a challenge lol


Anybody want some free tiles? lol.

After a nice relaxing relax, T-8 yesterday, Was able to get to the grind, Holy Fluttershy. they poured Cement a layer of cement on the dirt?. This doesn't make any sense, why would they do that? but was able to bust past it. Using it to hold up those ugly metal pipes, hopefully it'll hold up when I try to move the last residue tiles!

Anyways jammed in cement blocks and bits (that are too ugly for the rock wall (namely because I want the rock wall to look natural). If we don't hear from anyone to take them away. We'll use them to build new rock wall (But don't see how that'll work out, they're very glassy and fragile. someone goes to sit on the rocks. anybody wanna do the Greek smashy smash plates dance. lol. God such an ugly colour too! :( dug some kind of crazy ditch valley. I'll try and go deeper stratas, and do my Indyana Jones archelogical digging there. Especially since we're planning to plant some Lo Baks roots..

Here's what I think happened though from what I'm diging up and generally how it went. That when they built all the buildings on this section of Sha Po, on ancestrial land and what not, for rental income, they used that triangle as a dump I'm fiding gloves batteries, Pocari Sweat bottles that look, so I think they poured sand over the heap.

Oh the Grannies who are sweeping the streets, I 'm feeling shitty for them, because they have to throw away all this crap. Like the heavy uglies I'm placing in the garbage piles that all big trash goes. But still some cements are still in the bag, and they're having a hell of at time busting their backs getting it out the bins. So they tell me just leave itto the side. (I'm finding ALOT of those strange metal. Like you have those square metal bars, with blobs of cement combined and you saw through it (I'm getting lots of those little things. But the good news I'm getting less and less of that shit) .most of the REALLY heavy stuff like those metal bars, I bring to the garbage center (the main ones like the one infront of the temple). or just leave it in the mass trash piles).

So sorry Sanitation grannies, most likely they were cleaning up tiles broken step plates (the gardening kind steping kind). Also Quarrying lots of rocks, again for my wall. (if natural).

Well that's enough for now, same old same old...

Removed last of the tiles, Why arn't the neighborhood teenagers not passing this for them to smash these up lol. It's pratically a MAGNET. ha ha ha. (but then I'd have to clean THAT up). What to do with those accursed things...

Hey I didn't know they have Living Lamma Clean ups. Does this considered a clean up? Oh well joining up with them....

Damn pipes won't fall down. gahhh! oh well...

the cleaning grannies want me to separate all the crap into seperate bags... (say I wonder if they'll give me free gloves and garbage bags now that I've joined with Living Lammas?

But they're right. That really is some gut wrenching weights. As I mentioned. I felt really shitty for the things I dug up. Blobs of cement. A job for the Living Lammas perhaps? heavy ugly crap on the Island? Those Tiles (different ones), oh my god those are a bitch.

Also, they're caked with dirt. Some sort of microscoptic bugs are biting me, the Deet sometimes holds them back, especially if they're flies. But I suspect they're some sort of flea like animal, but Fleas usually live in hair no?

A choir singer "A" is a totally an angel, he's offering to take those Tiles and those ugly ugly rolls of chain link fences. If he needs help I'm be willing for this favor too. Yea now I can get rid of that crappy eye sore. *theme of Samba De Janario* plays, Samba Samba Samba. I'm sure the Tiles can go, but about the chain link fence, perhap the Millionare Rich, would part with them.

Same rule applies for the tiles, we'll hold them for a week, if nobody claims them They're the Angel's. You know who you are. Thank you...

Henry the 8th I am. Henry the 8th Am I am....

Two guys wanted to know what I was building, when I dug out more crappy trash. Quarried more rocks. Nice pieces too. They will look nice naturefying the place.

Two guys asked me what I was doing and because it was a excavation that resembled a pond shape. They said "oh, it's a pond". I'd actually think a pond for fish would be nice, that way the stupid mosquitos decide to land there as a trap then the fishes eat the larvaes, and then less generation of mosquitos and ugh, midges.... But Mr "Million" won't go for that. I decided to level off the land so that it is at the same depths that the orginal tile pile was. This is so I can make sure to detoxify the site. Found LOTS of shit in there, bottles, pocari's.BATTERIES (rusted through and contents empty! :_( (meaning the contaminates are in the nature system. Gahhhh, BBQ equpipment, (those fork Cha Sews), and hunks of Cement, the Rocks are nice though. I'm glad I dug those up. Kind of think of this project as a reboot.

Hopefully the Angel comes and picks up the link fence, and tiles. I dont' think the Millionare would mind. Does he even live here anymore? Less flies biting me, as the rubbish vermin has been evacuated.

My boundaries have been taking shape too. I had to for instance sort of veer away from the wall, so it forms a bowl, and I won't want to disturb the root cannal of the tree (It's still alive), however II have a saw (I'll prune it a bit so it looks less stumpy. Maybe arrange the logs a bit more so that it looks like a biosphere.....

Ok Now I'm REALLY Henry VIII, am I am REALLY Henry VIII am I ammmmm.....

(I see that I skipped day 7 for day 8). Day 8's notes:

Raked up crap from Side A. Found old VHS casette. lol. (Wonder if Porno is on it). Now I'll never know, because this ancient Beta Max technologly is obsolete. Found one of those large square batteries, hopefully can recycle it at the pier (that slot that says "Please recycle your batteries, and don't throw it into the fields where Casey (me), picks it up....

More of the say today, just more cleaning. I uncovered some crap around bushes, vines, and what not, but somebody pulled the bushes out :_( Oh well have photos of it. Dutchman or was he German, (the guy who lifted stone like watermellon, or pet puppy, or kitty), asked me why I was going through all that work digging it up. Meh, I'm bored and need to reboot the land with fresh soil, and will be planting Lobak and other rooty depth rooty stuff.

But ha ha ha I'm getting more and more strange looks. Especially by one of the C's. Not to sound prejudiced but honestly they really do look alike (of course with subtle differences, but they more or less have same features, so forgive me when I say this one of you C's. But I honestly don't know if I spoke to you or not, but "Millionare C" informed me that I could dig in there, and now that you spoke up about the tiles. I know they're yours and will put them back...

Afterwork debriefing notes:

Pruned the "Hades Tree", gave the "logs" to the Philopenos at c-5, for their weekend fires. also found a bag of charcole gave it to them..... excavated more trash, broke hoe stick trying Arcamedies lifting (fulcrum, pry bar method), to lift those G.D. logs of chain fences, apparently they do belong to one of the "C" clan, I'm not sure which. It's like I'm in some crazy Samurai or Dukes of Hazard, with all the family named Oda, or Dukes. Or how all the agents seem to be named Mr and Mrs Smith. Ran out of bags so need to buy more bags, There's one of the sanitation workers that comes here alot to the church, brb gotta go eat dinner.... continue gabbing after dinner.

Back: hehehehe, the Pinoy man who resembles Tony Montana (awesome), loaned me his hack saw which worked better than my dinky little carpenter saw.

More of the same old same old. Just clearing the trash.... Just wait until I start excavating THIS side of the lot ha ha ha. now there seems to be a significant strip of infront of the PCCW power box. Old man C didn't want it there on his property. PCCW ignores him, just like Da Man always ignores all our reasonable requests. Such as Oh I don't know use the YMCA quarry as a camping spot for Scouts, and back packers an eco zone. (I honestly don't want to be in the same room when Jesus the maker of this planet flips out on them. 12 months people.... 12 months. Or even Da man ignores our pleas of please don't plant a marina as there will be more crap in the sea.

Anyways what to do with that few meter long strip. Meh I'd Plant some ferns or flowers or something. in the gaps.....

Dear Vanoclamma,
The lady cleaner who clean the rubbish bin that you have been putting the rocks that you picked up has requested me to advise you to get rid of the rocks somewhere else instead of putting them into the rubbish bin because she really has difficulty to pick them up. Thank you very much for you kind attention in this matter.
cheers
Martian

Dear Vanoclamma,
Also please understand that the V.V. driver who trash the rubbish also has difficulty in picking up the heavy rocks. May I suggest you to use a small cart rolling the rocks to the sea shore. Thanks again for your kind attention in this matter.

Please give me an I, give me a apostrophe, and please give me an m, (again m is not a vowel). Give me a B. Give me a U, Give me an S (which is strange because S is not a vowel), Give me a T, Give me an E, Give me a D.

What's that spell? I'm Busted.... ouch.... so heh, you know my secret Identity. but I don't know yours, or Alan's or Marc Antony's, or High Driller. But I'm going to venture you're either the Tony Montana dude who loaned me his saw, or that Big Tall German dude, who picked up the boulder like an M an M. Candy. heh.

Yeh I really felt shitty about the heavy stuff. I didn't really have a system of divying up the weight. I'm not going to use the Green bucket, and use one white and half bucket of litter. Also, those Freaking Tiles that Mr C just threw everywhere. Gahhhh. I was trying to find ways to segregate the trash and dirt. About the rocks. I found a new black hole vortex called the Chow Fence. They Check in but they dont' check out.... It's a vortex like the heart of Mr Smiley Bowtie (CE Tsang) a vortex of black. I threw all the pieces of cemement, or most of them behind the vortex of hell. And I decided to just use a new rule.... a bucket and a half (max), usually a bucket. Also like I was going to report today, most of the weight comes from soil, that I waste, because I haven't though of a way to sift trash. now I have a sifter (a bbq grill don't worry it's the churches not the store's), it seems to help with the problem. because it wasn't the garbage I was mainly shoveling, it's just gravel, And I'm so sore that I don't know if it's so heavy, either that or building up basic strenght, or what passes for such in my body. I'm so wacky.

And the sweeping lady isn't, so I'll watch out for her weight. I think that was the last super heavy bag today. again I miss weighed it. (used the green guy, and a white bucket (OUCH). so yeah, I'm going experiment with two white buckets, and sifting. And the bags should weigh the standard 25kg or whatever the weight is. I'll be mindful. Like I really did feel shitty all those heavy junk.

She also did tell me a few days ago to separate the load into 7several bags.... I'm just fine tuning the weight method.

And I saw that people dropped off capital junks, too (big pieces), like doors, and tubs, and appliances and though that a bunch of metal crap wasn't too much a big deal. I though that was allowed. and thus. I threw away ALOT of metal rusty crap. Like I found toliet lids, metal squiglyies TV antennas, Well the good news is most of the lion share of shit is cleared. Oh Bricks, ALOT ALOT of broken unusable bricks. But good news I found a perfect place to store it. Since it's old man C's crap It should stay with old man C's stuff.

So in addition to piling the cements, and some of the stones, in the corner, I'll just junk it, as for big trash I'll junk it like others junk their capital pieces. And for the garbage bags. I'll do as they say but this time sift the soil.

I'm new to this whole dig up trash from a back yard business, serious I'm. Hence my "production notes", so I remember the lessons I learned from snafuing alot....

So the irony is this weighing issue was actually the topic of today's lesson......

With the major tasks done.... All is needed is to continue to quarry the back half of the lot... Hopefully I can find more rocks, (I want to enclose off the yard nicely for Old Man C). He doesn't let me plant anything. Which is undestandable a Crezy kid he has never seen before, starts digging up HIS yard, as if I owned the place, (I mistook it for a landfill and vacant or abandoned ground. Like with the houses in Kang-lo, and other boarded up places. Boy was I wrong. Lol. Those tiles I picked up actually belonged to some dude. odd it was sitting there probably since HK SAR was founded aahahah. Anyways, Sorry Angel dude you can't take them. this means I'll have to put it back. GAHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHHGGHGGHGHGGG!!!!!!!!!!11 Oh well managed to dislodge the metal logs with ancient Roots from the Yagasyll tree (the world tree) of Norse ledgen (I think). Freeing up some space (however there's a huge root canal there, it's implantable. :_( but managed to free up SOME other spaces. in the front I don' tknow where, maybe clearing the trash has an illusion just seems more breathable now.

Anyways plantable or not, I'll just continue to de clog the land. (I still got to do the FRONT area, lol. digging with my axe (hoe), lol. But I closed up the rock wall. Enclosing the C property for Mr C. Might as well finish the project.......

I've followed up a bit about that plot of land you're beautifying.
It's not part of the Million Rich house just behind it. I've asked Mr Million Rich, an old friend of ours, in person about it recently, after seeing your Facebooking about your project.

That plot you're guerilla-gardening belongs to Mr C who lives just across the path on the G/F, correct?
We were looking at their rooftop flat a few months back when we were considering to move. One of the most dangerous rooftops, without any ledge, wall or anything to stop you from falling off the edge....

Mr C, being an avid gardener himself - see all the pretty, well-maintained, daily-watered bushes around their two-floor old-style Chinese house - must have been wondering about somebody gardening in his long-abandoned plot, taking it over without permission. But once you've talked to him, he was probably happy to let you finish and do the work for him for free, no? As long as you're not planting (which he'll probably want to do himself as soon as you're finished), which would indicate a long-term occupancy, he should be OK, I think? I hope he'll give great thanks to you, as you well deserve them!

As this little plot is just outside Myrna's C-5 Pinoy Store in the Red House, a new favourite place of mine, your beautification will be appreciated not only by Mr C, but all the people from different nationalities sitting outside C-5 most nights, some even playing guitar and generally having a good time, especially on Sundays after the basketball league games.

Writing this long post made me hungry, almost time to pick up another home-cooked takeaway lunch from C-5's proprietor "Halo-Halo Myrna", named after her famous smoothie, a meal in itself, full of goodies .... Entering the shop, you can greet her and order at the same time by simply saying "Halo-Halo!"

Like that tall dude with the pony tail, etc. We were wondering the same thing about "Uncle C" if he saw a wacky person (me) he has never met before decided to prune his trees and somehow quarry for rocks and permenant structure... and if were were taking it over. moving the metal logs around, and who'd be crazy enough to carry boulders around right? Well that big German cyborg helped me alot. In addition there are lots of rocks like that around the neighborhood. But they seem to be delibrarlty placed there (probably to block off the pets). But I'm sure as I cultivate side A and side B (aka dig for more rocks), and dig out what's left of the trash), then he can go ahead and plant. The ?hades Tree most liketly has a new lease on life, Should be staying there, It's part of the eco system. as I found lots of bugs and red centipeeds scurrying about. Plus Frogs not make this place their home. yayeeeee. They eat the mosquitoes and we ALL win.



But This is just to make sure nobody decides to use his property for a landfil again (especially batteries. Lots of batteries in there, some fresh too, some old and leakedl, thus uglyfying Lamma.... Like one of the big questions I get from everyone is what am I doing. There was this man in drealocks who said "Ohhhh you're digging a pond" (I was trying to level off the sand soil (not suitable for growing), and trying to really remove the archelogical records (junk people left behind). I'm assuming what happened was people just though it was an empty field, and dumped their crap there.... fustrating Old C.... Then I though Millionare C (also named C)had rights to the property as he once told me leave me a little path so I can keep on climbing my wall (I put a log there but the rain washed it away :_(. Anyways, the digging also to complete the wall Old C left behind. He probably just forgot about the project. Lots of people in Suburbian Calgary do this.... my pops when he first moved here wanted to put in a rock garden and a duck pond.... There's an episode on Simpsons where Homer is trying to make a BBQ brick grill, but he screws that up, (like most noobs do, ie me, when I first started this project... I was like Mr Bean (on that episode), where he writes his math exam, and he doesn't realize this year the night school guys left TWO test. (realising that adults in life have the courage to even come to class, when life goes crazy), He cries "ohhhh mommmeeeeyyyyy ohhhh mommmeeeeyyyy". (That was my reaction when I first started this project. I even spazed at Pastor D a couple of times. I'd make a shitty boss in reality. But if one thing this adventure has taught me. Just do it step by step, anything in life, and eventually you're over the hump...

Yea, I was thinking of just maintaning a garden for Free if Mr C didn't mind. or like I mentioned, at least the wall is done, the trees pruned, and those guys who live at the Million C's apartment who left this trash here. on old C's property... I'll just arrange it so it doesn't trap more junk, and or look nicer.... Like I mentioned i'm all for nature, so anything that leads to this place getting natured again is good. I even left the patrons of C-5 a little loggy thing to sit.

speaking of hello hellos I had one of those. now with the chocolate bar. I hope eventually they get some Cheetos, and 2 l pops, that way when ever I'm feeling down, just pop over there.

Anyways if old C doesn't let me plant that's cool. I accomplished what I started. It's just that there's a storage in the church complex, that has plants. These Junipers and stuff. I wish I could use them. And you can't plant this at Bob's forest, because we want to use natural trees..... :_(


Anyways I'm curious though did all this land here in Shapo belong to the Chows, and they just built apartments to raise money, and put in sidewalks. Old C didn't want the PCCW power box there he told me.

But yeah, if he's an avid grower. He'd know more about using natural trees and the dirt and stuff. My nature skills are designed for the Arid desert that is Calgary, or Utah, or Montana, those places with crazy minerals in the land turning us into metalic cyborgs who can withstand -50 below winters (further drying up the nature We're like Golums of Jewish Lore). I guess my obsession with rocks. But they're just sooooo nice right? soooo nice..... So natural.

Ohhhh my aching head, dont' drink Tingsdao (7 bucks at Auntie HH's store (a certain red one in a certain village in a certain garden I'm excavating), and ranting about how voting "Dabby" ((DAB candate+ "Y" ( initial) would mean alleged more pollution to our paradise. at least MORE cement blobs to clean up. :_(

I spent after noon, shooting the Breeze with the Gungster, and some drunk expats at Auntie H's store. (normally I don't drink. Yeah I know it's hard to believe with my nonsensical posts Im usually 100% "really me" (anti-peer pressure (ie. drugs), campaign used in Canada). They were kind of aggrivated that I was mining for more trash... (I seemed to have found some strange metallic object. (still un removable, needs more quarrying), and more cement blobs. Dabby (DAB+"Y" Candidates's intials). Do you think contractors improving Lamma WON'T leave this porridge of stone puke all over this precious land? THat morons like me have to break up and clean up. And when I try to dispose of it, then VV drivers want to kick my ass, and when I "try to dump it into the sea as they suggest then the police kicks my ass with fines...... Which a starving La Bohemian bum like me, can't afford. like really right?

Anyways back to the patrons at c-5, they beckoned me..... to drink with them, and enjoy a dish of corn beef with peppers in them......(again, somehow my Axe Pole arm quarrying rocks and trash was intrupting. And one of them was on a two night bender, according to the more sober one (his "road man" (a Space cowboy (psychodelic tripper term for "sober one" trip sitter), Not wanting to say no to the drinks, as well they know where I worked, and I really can't continue working in the pit without some bad vibes. I took up the offer. Auntie Halo Halo latter laughed that night when I tried to get some more drinks, and told me not ot drink.

So nothing really to report.... I only managed to quarry a few more inches. But had a great time talking with the Gungster, about comtemporary issues on Lamma, ie the Dog Killer, the Bookman's "Take over HK" protest against Da man, (When our Chinese compatriots on the Mainland figure out how to do that and they most likely won't because they can't access this website a bunch of peace loving peace lovers on a harmless Island, and one of them is crazy enough to play with garbage (me), anyways when out Chiense Compatriots are able to figure out that if they just stopped working one or so days, Uncle Hu's system goes crazy). *knock knock* 'cuse me fans. there's someone at the *zzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaappppppp* (Burning fat boy flesh (aka my code name by the locals. I still prefer you guys to call me nothing by ignoring my cries for childish attention).

"Comrade Vanoc loves China. There is nothing wrong with China" Go back to work.

Lost track of the Days, to many :_(...

started late today, surprised to find out a big hole where my orginal hole pit was. If only I have that awesome drill... lol. Seems like the guys are doing some work there, Related to the sewer upgrades? So this IS government land after all! Anyways, the workers found it strange I was taking photos for my records before and afters the history that went into this plot.

extracted what ever loose crap I could That stubborn rock won't come out :_( (there seems also to be a bunch of stupid metal frames in there. Gahhhhh...

The men will probably be working there again tomorrow, so what now pttttthbbbb. Guess the Front can be done. (same treatment. Quarry for rocks, and trash.

Get to go to China whoooooopdeeeeeeee doooooooooo (sacrasm). But reality calls, as much as I'd love to say on this magical Island with trees getting high from oxygen, and being the village weirdo. But this is good, then I can get the money for my other projects and needed supplies. (my lap top), needs a new battery, needs a Hard Drive, because some fuzzy haired little IT specialist in Shanghai stole it. If need be I can check the office for more of my personal effects. I also want to upgrade the Hans Anderson machinery so they can play some of those crazy wholesome stuff for the kiddies. You know subtitled, the kiddies can congregate, and a basic library.

So progress is going to be even slower. But rest assured after all the dog poop I shoved away, and balls broken... I'm not going to give this project up, working on it on my days off when I back in Hong Kong. Mr C will get his garden yet......

But managed to trip the new tree's branches back. Seems to be some sort of white fungus..... Say if I just washed the fungus off, would that help? I'm sure it's some disease. The Lady of Lourdes needs new stuff for their new chapel too....

Going to be broke, or have a small fortune for school, but I'm going to have one INSANE INSANE INSANE bar story. don't worry I won't devulge the myst of this Island. (although there's a big fat No. 4 on the Ferry wall).

But it's ok, You don't this maybe once in a life to go crazy and help things out. I could be what pumping Gas at Esso right now, for that miser bitch Pam as the clerk money who signs and sweeps her pumps... Let's see, being the village weirdo..... a Gas monkey. village weirdo, gas monkey.... village weirdo gas monkey...... that's a tough one.

Restoring an eco system to a naval of life, and bringing plant mitochondria for Gaia..... or wiping milk jugs.... Pam enjoy your 50 cents a day profit. (Gas Stations, don't make money, ESSO makes the bling).

I just pretend that these heavy rocks, that I just transported from the Majong House, when I pile them in the general build site, resembles either Mountains, and or ruins of some ancient temple. (and I pretend they're so small because I'm doing a fly over).


Anyways, beautiful beautiful rocks, trianglular, rectangular, squartangular, snozeberrytangular. Majong VV dudes and I knocked that pile of rubble down. I go and stack it up at the garden. in a semi make shift wall. (I was too lazy to pick them off the flatbed, and just dumped them into a pile that resembles a straight line..... This is to discourage dogs and cats from using it as a relief area. Blocked off access, if they want in they'll have to work for it. Dogs are looking at it with a confused face now.

When I get back from China, don't know which to work on. build the REAL wall? continue to uncrap the front (oh on this note, the water guys who were there digging a big hole (hey I want that machine!), said that I can't do anything there. So I say meh, use the back lot for storing those metal uglies, and those tiles, then tarp it over.... once and for all. And roll back the logs.. (now there are two sitting "cheers" stumps for you guys to do your "cheers mate".... I find some way to drag that last Tsar Stump. I just couldn't pull it out body refused to move. :_(

anyways most likely we can't use this place for organic farming (growing veggies... just flowers and shrubs. Too many batteries and Trash... Anything is better than that eyesore that was there Less verminous too, animals now use it (which is cool because once The plants start going the piss and crap would act as excellent oranics to restore the metalic poisons... Again, frogs are hopping around in there. (Gungster and the German Cyborg were wondering who owns the land, then one them joked the frogs to. ha ha ha. But I wasn't paying attention my body was saying goto bed last night.

Ha ha ha got the usual WTF stares, like honestly who's stupid enough to pick up heavy rocks like that make multiple trips? The irony is back home in Canada, you have to PAY for rocks like that, but here it's FREE! ( on this note, when demolishing buildings, with TNT and stuff, why doesn't Hong Kong just grind them up? (I'm working with a bunch of South Africans they're looking for "Mill Balls". Like when you blow up some thing in Vegas, the salvage alone makes the project worth while. Then it's grinded up into Freeway Goo..

MAn what an exciting rush. I was tempted to just quit after a few loads like a sane person would. But I got greedy, and wanted them all. Besides I wanted to see just how much I could carry. Of course the VV dudes did most of the work...

Now then. Making a mess time is over, time to get serious. :_(. Oh well life.
