It stars Colin Farrell as Lord Doyle, a high-stakes gambler who has been hiding from the authorities in Macau. It also stars Tilda Swinton and Fala Chen in leading roles.

"A portion of the filming of 'Ballad of a Small Player' was also carried out in Macau and Hong Kong. According to reports, in 2024, the cast and crew set up camp in the SAR for about two and a half weeks while shooting the movie across several spots.

To be specific, a few scenes were shot on a houseboat in the waters close to scenic Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island."

Moving to a smaller, downsized G/F flat with no stairs and no hills to climb for my aging legs! It took a while to set up my new home office, sorry for the long break in publishing new stories!

Let's start with something cute, a video I found of a Jeepney-style remote control car climbing HK's longest (?) steep slope (behind the Lamma Winds windturbine down to the beach):

Playing around with AI video generation:
From a nice snapshot photo of my step-daughter's birthday party it got everybody to smile broadly and wave!

On Xiaohongshu, they call him "Lamma grandpa".

HK Electric 135th Anniversary Engineering Conference Shaping Innovation & Sustainability in Hong Kong with Industry Leaders HK Electric today (16 October) hosted a 135th Anniversary Engineering Conference to celebrate 135 years of powering Hong Kong, marking another significant milestone in the Company’s history.
Themed “When Tradition Meets Technology,” the Conference brought together over 100 industry leaders and partners from the political, business, engineering, and academic sectors to explore the future of innovation, energy transition, and sustainable development."

"HK Electric 135th Anniversary Historical Corner showcases more than a hundred precious historical photos, videos, and documents through five interactive panels.

The exhibition displays a range of HK Electric’s historically significant artefacts, including electricity meters and bills from various eras, a 1940s electric streetlamp, and a commemorative plaque honouring HK Electric staff who sacrificed their lives defending the North Point Power Station during World War II."

Tamara: "Open Space took a beating over the summer this year, but we are on it and it's looking better than ever!!

Events, Forest School, and Private Bookings are happening again starting from this week - GET IN!!

DJ Clarke: "Last night two snakes appeared in my backyard and here is what happened."

"Grab a Stein, enjoy our homemade Bretzels on this beautiful day! Oktoberfest is on at the Lamma Grill on YSW Main Street.
Cheers! "

3 generations of 1 family have been working for HK Electric for 70 years! 4 members of the Chuang family took a photo together with their staff cards.

Checking out the very interesting Facebook page of HK Electric occasionally - 堅尼地道44號 - I came across this fun human-interest photo story, one of many they like to publish frequently.

It's all in Chin., but there's a "See translation" link at the bottom of posts. Check out their recent Mid-Autumn-related photo story.

"Lamma Fun Day will be back on 15th November 2025 with 4 stages featuring the some of the best bands in Hong Kong, 3 bars, an arts and crafts market, Lamma 8 charity run, charity auction and some fantastic food vendors.

The event is completely run by volunteers and raises money for the Child Welfare Scheme which supports youth projects in some of the poorest areas of Nepal. Please mark it in your diary and share with friends and family."

P.S. Just 2 weeks later, another major musical event, one of numerous Halloween-related happenings all over Lamma:

This coming Saturday evening in the Football Pitch, YSW, postponed due to T3 from last Sat. Here's a photo gallery of what you can expect to see and experience.
