I drank a lot of milk back then... I got about $20 in returned deposits when I took these bottles back to the 7-11!

Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Abbreviation: PolyU) is a university in Hong Kong whose teaching units are grouped under six faculties and two schools: Faculty of Applied Science and Textiles, Faculty of Business, Faculty of Construction & Environment, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Health & Social Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, alongside with the School of Design and the School of Hotel and Tourism Management.
The school was founded in 1937 as the Government Trade School. Located in Wood Road, Wan Chai, the School was the first publicly funded, post-secondary technical institution in Hong Kong.
After World War II, the school became the Hong Kong Technical College in 1947, offering both full-time and part-time courses. The year 1957 saw the opening of the new premises of the College in Hung Hom. The College offered the first accounting education program in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic was formally established on 1 August 1972, taking over the campus and staff of the Hong Kong Technical College. Its mandate was to provide professionally-oriented education.
Having gained approval from the University and Polytechnic Grants Committee for self-accreditation of degree programmes, the Institution assumed full university status on 25 November 1994, changing its name to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Today, PolyU is an institution of higher learning and offers more than 130 postgraduate, undergraduate and sub-degree programmes, supported by more than 1,000 academic and research staff members from different parts of the world.

We were so lucky to have an oven. I never did any baking though - shame. But, as Western cooking goes, we grilled a lot of toast, made pasta and had a successful Pancake Day!
Void Pirate WM - 01 Inferno
Based on a prototype design the Inferno packs a variety of updated technology to increase the performance of any Void Pirate mecha pilot. Lt. Viper can often be seen teaching new recruits and although despised by some is respected by most. If you see this coming for you on the battlefield it's already too late...
Design:
The Inferno is a complete redesign of the Widowmaker mecha I created a very long while ago. Now using Stud.io instead of LDD, the MoC is completly buildable, stable, newer elements, posable and contains parts that exist. The centre torso is completly new as is the weapons (MML still modified).
Very much inspired by Armored Core, a game I loved growing up and still play from time to time.
Armament:
Shoulder warheads
Arm warheads
Karasawa Laser X-00

I really felt like we were on the "outside" of Kowloon, driving past these old buildings. It was a rare thing for us to be on the roads then, as normally we took the train or ferry.
