In October, the consulate of France organised the Bread Festival for the first time in Hong Kong.
At the event, I met French Consul General Christile Drulhe. I tried a large array of French baked goods. I also learned that my favourite butterfly pastry is French, called the palmier. Another thing I got to know is that the baguette is part of Unesco’s cultural heritage list.
Hong Kong also has a rich history of baked goods. Desserts like pineapple buns and “wife” cakes are delicious. It would be fantastic to showcase our products so people can appreciate our history.

The Paris 2024 Olympics were the first Olympics I was old enough to pay attention to, and it was so cool!
I was so excited to watch the events on TV. This has made me even more interested in finding out more about the Olympics. I never knew the Olympic torch would stay on fire for the entire competition. This is so interesting!
I cannot wait for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

It’s not surprising that AI (artificial intelligence) is taking the world by storm. Anyone can create a beautiful “painting” by simply typing in a simple prompt.
But I would not think of AI work as art. What would happen to the professionals if anyone could type a prompt and create a painting? AI takes inspiration from pictures and art that professionals spend hours or even days to perfect.
AI has a place in the classroom, offering students a new way to engage with art. However, it is important to ensure it doesn’t overshadow traditional methods.
