Coffee, anyone?

Daddy decided to get mummy an early Xmas pressie!
It's a Nespresso machine! So mummy can get her caffeine dose before she goes to work :)
Trying out one of the Livanto capsules... Forgot to take picture of the frothing milk process! But you can see the frothed milk in the cup :)

Oooh... coffee being extracted! Ahhh... daddy enjoying the first cup of Nespresso!

I had a cup of babycino (warm frothy milk)... check out the milk moustache below! LOL!

Oh, and I'm using the styrofoam from the box as a toy horsey!

Looks like mummy and daddy will be drinking lots of coffee from now on!

Xmas time!

Ahh, it's December, my favourite time of the year!

This year, mummy and daddy decided to get a Xmas tree to decorate the house in a more Xmas-sy spirit!

Being lazy, they purchased a fiber optic tree with ready lit balls!

I still got the chance to hang some decorations, as they bought some extra ones! :)

Oooh... my first Xmas tree! *rubs hands in glee*

Ta-dah! All done!

Grimace face!

The malls are also decked with Xmas decos, guess you can never be too early to get full mileage of the tree!

Here's one huge one in Pacific Place!

With some smaller ones at the side :P

Railway theme, me thinks!

There's also an outdoor one, still work in progress (as you can tell from the hole in it, hehe), it's a Swarovski tree! How glam!

My favourite one is the IFC one, they've got cute Santa Clauses and Reindeers!

Santa sitting on the rocking horse... His head actually moves!

And his friend, Pinocchio?

At Santa's candy shop...

Trying to get my grubby paws on some free candy.. no such luck!

Was I not a good girl this year, Santa?

Posing with some huge reindeers. Their heads also move.

So nice, I love Xmas time! :)

Puff the Magic Dragon

Hehe...

My current fave song, but can't remember all the lyrics yet :P

Cupcake project

Mummy offered to bring cupcakes for an upcoming Xmas party at my friends house recently.

Having NEVER baked before in her life, she thought it wise to just buy an instant mix.

Check it out, comes with the cake mix, the icing, heart sprinkles and the cake cups!
HKD40 per box, makes 12 cupcakes.. what a steal!


Figured, it would be prudent to do a trial run and test out the cupcakes before the actual event.

Hehe, didn't take any photos of the mixing process, but ta-dah... here's the final product!

Considering we didn't have a proper electric mixer, I think it turned out pretty well :)


I was in charge of the sprinkles!
Look Popo and Ah Mah, my cheek's all better now!!! :)

Decorating my cupcake with sprinkles!!!

And here's one for daddy too!!! Does it look like the picture on the box???

Success! Looks like we won't be turning up empty handed to the Xmas party :)))

Next, mummy's gonna buy us a proper electric mixer so we can try making cupcakes and icing from scratch!

Sure beats paying HKD300 / dozen cupcakes at the shops! *smug* :D

Of mozzy bites and allergies

My topic is totally unrelated to the post, but it will help to explain why the my right cheek is swollen and twice the size of the left one in all the photos you see below :(

Ah mah, kong kong and aunty peg jee were here for a visit, so the weekend was packed with a touristy itinerary.

We started the day off with dimsum at Jumbo kingdom, a floating restaurant in Aberdeen. It's quite cool, as we get to sit a little ferry to get to the restaurant.

Here we are, bright and early at the pier!

On the 5 min ferry ride :P

View of the floating restaurant.. think it's been around since the 1950s???

The food was good, and bookings are recommended as the place was packed full of tourists (by the tour bus loads)!!!

There are also nice photo opps, like this one..

And this one!

After the nice lunch, we headed to nearby Ocean Park for some fun.

Going up the many escalators in the park... !
Reached the top!




Spotted a seal...
Taking a ride on the Tower...



Some dolphin show... not bad, but I think the Sea World one was better! :P
Flowerpot...


Train ride...


The next day was Daddy's birthday (Happy Birthday Daddy!) so we went to Cafe Deco at the Peak for lunch.



Daddy scored a free sundae and I scored some free balloons!


Family shot at the Peak Lookout.

At night, we had dinner at this Jap restaurant in Tsim Tsa Tsui, called Hoka Hoka.



Check out the sushi platter...

Wait a minute.. what's that?! My shrimpys!



Walked to the Arena of Stars after dinner. Too bad we missed the daily light show, but we did manage to catch a ferry from TST back to Central which was nice.

Aunty Peg Jee and kong kong posing with Bruce Lee..

Me and mummy :)))

Me and aunty peg jee :)

Here's aunty peg jee trying to stop me from crossing the barrier...

Can safely say I didn't let that happen... they don't call me little miss stubborn for nothing! :P

Hi, aunty Peg jee!!!

When we got home, there was more cake waiting for daddy!!! One from mummy and one from Aunty Noeme~~~~

I'm just excited, coz more candles for me to blow!

Final family pic for the night!!!

The end :)
