My new toy!

Mummy's been waiting to get her hands on this since like forever!!! It's been sold out since Day 1 of the launch in Hong Kong, but miraculously she got her hands on one whilst just walking past the Apple store when the stock was being delivered!!!


White, 32 Gb, Wi-fi.



With black leather smart cover ;)


What she didn't know.. is that she won't be getting the chance to actually USE it!
I've been hogging it everyday!!!!
Snapshopt of (some) of my apps below *in the name of learning & education* :D


So far, I've realised that I'm quite good with the Dino game.. it's like Angry birds where you have to catapult the dino into the spaceship... thats my high score of 42K+.


Also quite good with this bubble bobble type game...


And this can knockdown game muahhaa.. my high score is 73.



I think mummy's now regretting she bought an iPad! :P

Building Blocks

Hi,

Aunty Noeme had to go back to Philippines for an emergency this week, so mummy had to arrange to work from home the whole week (which made me a very happy girl) :)

We had lots of fun, mummy walked me to and from school everyday, and sneakily arranged tons of playdates for me in the afternoon so that she could get some work done!

Yesterday, we had cooking class, and I made cookies! Look :)

And here I am, trying to entertain myself since mummy couldn't play with me all the time...
Building a tower of sorts...

Oooh getting taller!!!


I am fascinated by things that are taller / larger than me... so... was trying to see how high this tower could go!



It started to get quite wobbly at the end... but managed to build it taller than me!!! Had to STRETCH to add blocks at the top!

Luckily we took this picture, coz the tower (as you can see, is not very straight), came crashing down shortly after ^_^




So... daddy the engineer built me a new, sturdier one today.. hurray! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to mummy!!!
So, daddy planned some nice things for mummy to celebrate mother's day.

First, he booked a studio for us to do some pottery yesterday.
It's called Sunflower studio I think.

We pick out a pottery item and then paint it!
Mummy picked out a mug and I was in charge of painting it... as a mother's day present to mummy!
OK, the plan was to paint a lion face on one side, and my handprint on the other side...

The lady owner had to help me with the handprint...

I chose red colour..Whacking my hand onto the mug... fun!

Ta dah! Success!


Here's the lion I co-painted with mummy! Using thumbprint motifs... Nice or not?






I lost focus halfway and decided to paint a piggy bank as well...

Piggy's back...


So, we'll have to wait a week to get the end product as it needs to be fired etc...


Then, TODAY, on Mother's day, daddy booked us lunch at Mijas, a spanish restaurant at Stanley beach.


Self timer family shot before leaving the house!

Candid shot!



Mummy-Eva shot!

And off to Stanley we went!

I was tired already, by the time we arrived.. haha.

Coincidentally, there was some kinda dragon boat race going on... So there were lots of boats with multi-coloured flags in the water :)
We sat along the promenade to watch the races...




I was cheering for the blue team!

Then, it was time to eat lunch!

Here I am, with my kids meal :)

YUMMY!


Another shot with mummy :D My colouring....

Mummy did the prawn and Daddy did the chicken... I coloured the rest hahaha.


Watching the dragon boat races from the restaurant balcony.


Spotted an empty dragon boat in the water near the pier...


I think the dragon boat main event will be on the 6th June during the Tuen Ng dumpling festival day...



All in all, it was great planning by daddy and the weather could not have been better!!!


Outlying Islands Outing

Hehe, long overdue post!

We decided to explore an outlying island last weekend and chose Lamma Island.
Lamma is about 40 mins by ferry west of Hong Kong Island.

It's not accessible by car and there are no cars on the island. The main mode of transportation for most folks is by bicycle or foot! How quaint!

So, we set off bright and early, and arrived in Lamma at about 11am. The place was PACKED with tourists! Lamma is famous for their cheap and good seafood restaurants, which was the main motivator for daddy to plan the trip! :P

We have arrived!!!
The view from the jetty..


Our walking trail... took us about an hour and a half!



Candid shot!




Seafood!!!




Sotong!!!

Shops!

Starfish!!!

Chose a random seafood restaurant with seaview to eat lunch :)


At this stage, I was very hot and grumpy so mumy gave me a lollipop!
All smiles after that!


Mother-dotter shot!

Me eating my lunch - scrambled eggs with PRAWN!



Scallops...


Bamboo clams...


Tin Hau temple on the way...
