Kink It
Sanrio’s newest Hello Kitty phenomenon is also its kinkiest. From now until August 3 at the EMAX (1 Trademart Rd, Kowloon Bay), the Hello Kitty Black Wonder ‘RPG-Experience Exhibition’ leads role-playing enthusiasts through a labyrinthine complex - with guides dressed in dark purple velvet robes, an over-sized bedroom, a church altar and a room filled with satanic pentangles and alchemist jars - to liberate Hello Kitty and her boyfriend Dear Daniel (both tied up S&M style) from the black magic of the evil Kuromi. Players are given lanterns embedded with computer chips, which they must use to complete various games and tasks. The experience is marketed to people from three to 80 years old, and tickets cost $100. Book online at www.hkblackwonder.com or at the venue.

Meet It
Doraemon, the time-travelling manga moggie from the 22nd century, may be able to visit any time or place it wishes but is choosing to pop up out of Hong Kong’s big red box to celebrate the Beijing Olympic Games. From now until August 31, the Doraemon sports ground, the first of its kind in the world, will be open at MegaBox’s G Atrium from 10am to 10pm. A brand new series of 16 athletic Doraemons will be on display and fans should also not miss out on visiting Doraemon Street and the 2nd Gachapon Show at L5 Atrium, where 1,000 Gachapon vendors will be peddling capsule toys of our favourite robotic kitty and other cartoon characters. Any purchase at Megabox will allow you onto the street and into the show between midday and 10pm from now until August 6. Call MegaBox at 2989 3000 for more details on the activities or go to www.megabox.com.hk

Rock It
While Olympic fever spreads to every corner of our city, Disney is stirring up its own kind of physical furore. Inspired by the popular Disney Channel movie, HK Disneyland is running a new attraction with High School Musical: Live! throughout this summer and also hosts Asia-wide dance competition My School Rocks! The all-Asia final of the dance competition will be held on August 30 with the local winning team competing against the top teams from Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan. Log on to www.disneychannel-asia.com/DisneyChannel/interact/competition/msr08_vote to watch the shortlisted videos.

Own It
While you can still see people milling around 3 Hong Kong shops to get their hands on an iPhone 3G, the lower-profile Blackberry Bold is aimed more at the business-class type of person. The new elegantly designed smartphone comes with a black leather back panel that can be swapped for other-coloured panels. For the more computer-literate, the phone supports tri-band HSDPA and enterprise grade Wi-fi (802.11 a/b/g) networks and its 624 MHz processor allows speedy downloading of email attachments and web pages. It also has a half-VGA 480x320 resolution colour LCD for high clarity. With its confident design and superior functions, the Blackberry backs up its marketing logo, Be Bold.

Learn It
Name one of the Hong Kong riders that qualified for the 2008 Olympic Equestrian Events. No? No matter, it is still not too late to learn something about horses (and their riders) apart from how to bet on them. Running from now until October 13, the HK Museum of History’s exhibition Heavenly Horse – The Horse in Chinese Art and Culture will showcase some 60 artefacts from 28 heritage institutes in 14 provinces and autonomous regions throughout China. Highlights are a gilt bronze horse from the Western Han Dynasty, the Sancai figurine of a horse and female rider in mid-air from the Tang Dynasty and Yingjizi, a hanging scroll by Lang Shining of the Qing Dynasty. The exhibition is usually open from 10am to 6pm except on Sundays and public holidays when the doors shut at 7pm. The admission fee is $20 from Thursday to Monday and $10 on Wednesdays.
