Typhoon signal no 8 in HK

First time experiencing a typhoon in my life siaz and till now i guess there is nothing much because i have been hiding in my room since the typhoon signal no 8 have been raised. I only got to know of the news that there is a typhoon approaching HK at about 4+pm just now when the signal is no 3. Apparently my situational awareness of such natural disasters is super low, maybe thats because in singapore we seldom experience or should i say we never experience any major disaster. I did however noticed the sky turning dark in the afternoon when i was walking from place to place in school but i brush that aside as just merely a thunderstorm and tts like no big deal, until i heard pple around saying that its typhoon signal 3 and thats when i start to know of this..haha..the wind is actually very very shiok esp because it had been extremely hot for the past few days, so this rain is kinda nice.... and of coz when i heard of the typhoon, i got a bit excited but then also a bit worried...so we took bus and rush back to hall before all the public transportation cease operations.

The minor disruption to my daily routine is actually the dinner, where i have to run to the 7-11 below my hall and grab some microwave mushroom and chicken rice as dinner. Once again, first time eating such stuff for dinner siaz, quite unhealty, but no choice man. This also sorta remind me to stock up my food in the hall for emergency purposes siaz...Anyway the wind is super strong now, so strong such that i couldnt even open my window coz of the force of the wind..and the sound of the rain beating on the aircon unit and the windows make it sounds scary, coz there are chances that my window or aircon will just get blown away...and according to the lastest,the typhoon is about 200km away south of HK island and expected to reach full force in a few hours...and the maximum wind speed is expected to be 170km/h...wow...stunning...alright..for now i shall get some rest b4 i start to study.

Took some pics just now when the sky is still bright.

the dark dark sky...
all these barricades fell due to the stong wind...


Just looking forward to a day off tmr coz of the typhoon...pray hard pray hard..=p
