west kowloon cultural district, the master plans, the maze, and the vanishing tour

the govt begins today the 2nd phase of its "public engagement exercise" on the development of west kowloon cultural district. i've seen in the news brief introduction on the 3 master plans put forward by foster & partners, OMA & Rocco Yim. keen to find out more, i went to the website of West Kowloon District authority. so there i was, swimming through a sea of official speeches, uesless info, FAQs, pictures of govt officials attending kick-off ceremony, etc.

after some sort of treasure-hunting, there i finally found something nearly as close as what i intended to find, under "newsroom"-> "press release":

"The Conceptual Plan Options will be presented to the public in the form of scale models, interactive 3D models, photomontages and animated videos. They will be available for viewing and comment during a series of exhibitions across the territory, public forums as well as on the Authority’s website. Interested public may also join guided tours to learn more about the three plans. For more information on the event calendar and how to participate, please visit www.wkcda.hk."

isn't that where i'm already standing?? www.wkcda.hk??? did i miss them altogether? the 3D models? interactive stuff? vids?? ok, let's do it all over again. your best guess, under whcih category do you think the 3 master plans are hiding?

"what's new"? (hmm.. could be)
"background of wkcd"? (no way)
"about wkcda"? (do u really wanna know?)
"public engagement exercise"? (possible....)
"organizational structure & manpower plan"? (what the hell is that??)
"meetings"? (of what? with whom??)
"newsroom"? (didn't i just go there?)
"publications"? (na...)
"useful information"? (useful? did i hear useful??)
"multimedia gallery"? (suspicious........)
"FAQ"? (i do hv a question in mind, where do i find the......oh, nevermind)
"job opportunities"? (hahahaha)
"tender notices"? (oh, give me a break!)
"related links"? (kinda curious what they can be....)

for time saving, let me walk you out of the maze.
you should go "public engagment exercse"-> "stage 2 PE exercise"->and there you will be presented with 8 subcategoes. ignore the other 7 options and click "conceptual plan options"
and THERE YOU ARE!!!!

and it would have been very kind of me if i told you earlier that actually: the vid- won't play, the interactive models- doesn't work, the presentation panels- those words too small to read

unless i want you to also scream the same burning questions:

WHERE THE FUCK IS "THE SERIES OF EXHIBITIONS TOURING THE TERRITORY"???
(OF COURSE, APART FROM SEEING IN YOUR SPEECH)WHERE THE FUCK DO I SEE THE "3D MODELS, INTERACTIVE VIDS?
WHERE? WHERE? AND WHERE??????

what do i do? do i wait somewhere within 'the territory' for the exhibitions to arrive?
