Credit It
Hello Kitty is everywhere – she even was on bc’s cover last year. So who could be surprised that she has her own credit card? I don’t know about you, but presenting a credit card all done over with a cute white cat to pay for a smart business lunch seems a little incongruous to me. I can just hear the snorts. Nevertheless, there must be hordes of Hello Kittyphiles out there lusting after one of these. But if that doesn’t stroke your fur, how about a Little Twins Star credit card? We can just hear the girlies begging their boyfriends to share one with them because – well, it would be so Lala and Kiki! www.dahsingbank.com

(Don’t) Break It
We all know Easter eggs mean chocolate overload but before we get into that, here is a more unconventional way to celebrate the Easter weekend – an egg-throwing competition. Now you may think that hurling eggs could only result in a nasty scrambled mess, but that is the point. In this contest, you have to throw the egg as far as you can without it breaking when it hits the ground. The secret, of course, is what it is wrapped up in before it makes like an intercontinental ballistic missile. But whatever you ‘protect’ the egg with will be very icky if it doesn’t do the job – be prepared. The competition will be held in Park Central, Tseung Kwan O on March 21, 2-4pm, Tel: 3417 4328. Bring your own eggs.

Dot It
In Shanghai dialect, ‘13 dots’ refers to being silly and ignorant, but in Hong Kong, Miss 13 Dot was the Carrie Bradshaw of the ’60s and ’70s. Created by cartoonist Lee Wai Chun, Miss 13 Dot integrated fashion into comics and became so popular at the time that every young girl wished to become a ‘13 Dot’. (According to unofficial statistics from loyal fans, Miss 13 Dot wears 62 different outfits every issue. Eat your heart out,Carrie.) Even when youlook at them today, the characters are still as fashionable and fresh as ever – see it to believe it (or remember it) in the current Miss 13 Dot Comic Art Exhibition. Besides the original manuscript and copies of the first of the Miss 13 Dot comics, a series of 12-inch Miss 13 Dot figures dressed in classic Lee Wai Chun fashion designs will be showcased. Lee has also made two model houses for Miss 13 Dot. The exhibition lasts till the end of themonth at the World Trade Centre, Causeway Bay, and entry to it is free. Tel: 2576 4121.

Exhibit It
Street art is supposed to be seen on the street, but what if we collect examples from every corner of the city and put them all under one roof? On the Street is an exhibition that brings street art in its various forms, such as photography, painting and graphics, together – if you think street art is simply neighbourhood untidiness, think again. Participating artists are Start From Zero, Andre Chan, Big Mad, GraphicAirlines, Keith Chan and SouthpoleP. On March 15, an opening party and live show featuring Evade from Macau, The Projects + Violent Jokes from UK and Dirt Star from Shenzhen will kick off at 7pm. Admission to the exhibition is free, and tickets to the live show cost $130 (one drink included). Check out Culture Club (15 Lower Elgin St, Central) from today till April 5. Opening hours are from 2-11pm daily. Tel: 9121 0482.

Collect It
One of the mysteries I can’t understand about some of my fellow Hong Kongers is what they find so much fun about gachapon, or ‘capsule toy’ in English? Yes, I liked it when I was 12, but that was a long time ago. So every time I see people at a toy vending machine screaming over what they have or have not got, I can’t help staring in bewilderment. The 2nd Toys Gachapon Show is obviously not somewhere I should go – my eyes would be out on stalks and my head aching, but if you fancy some limited edition toys and figures, check it out at the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre from March 22 to 24. Opening hours are from 12noon to 9pm on March 22 and 23, and 12noon to 7pm on March 24. Tickets cost $20, reduced to $10 after 6pm. Tel: 3102 0303.
