Back in Singapore..with NO FLU!!












Back home from HK, free-of-flu! In the streets of HK, we did see many people and children with masks, but people were just being cautious and taking precaution, no sense of panic there. We were lucky to have sunny weather throughout our stay there, had we been there a few days earlier, we would have been caught in rain and been at risk of catching flu.
I am glad yinghong had the chance to meet up with my 2nd aunt and my cousins ,less my 3rd cousin who's a "madam" (CID). Ying Hong really likes 2nd aunt, and had a good time playing with her dogs and cats, and also had a girl-to-woman private chat with her in the bedroom.. she even cried and say she misses "er yi po" when we were travelling to the airport to catch the return flight.
YingHong also spent the whole afternoon playing in Clarice's home...for a surprisingly long time..and we all had a great time having dinner at the NIHON MURA restaurant. Both Celine (Clarice's mum) and I were surprised that the girls spent so much time together without a single quarrel! Maybe being away for a while made them miss each other....heee...
Too bad my SD card in the camera is corrupted so I lost all the pictures taken on day 3 and 4 of our trip... sigh.. Nevertheless, some pics here to share with my friends...

In Hong Kong with Ying Hong


This is our 3rd day in HK, having lots of fun! Catherine brought us to a new shopping mall -"Elements" for dinner. This new mall sits right above the "Kowloon" MTR station. Marvellous place with many up-market shops, and there is a ice-skating rink in it which Ying Hong is keen to return for a session of ice skating. Think we will try to come back on Thursday.

A full day in Disneyland yesterday.. the usual.. - rides AND shopping!!

Today we did the most.. starting with a walk along the Avenue of Stars, along the promenade, and took the Stary Ferry to WanChai Harbour, followed by a tram ride to the Mid Levels Escalators --- the world's longest outdoor escalator (800m). Then we walked through the Pottinger st. to reach "The Landmark" to look for the 3-Michelin star cafe I read about...."Le' Salon De The's La Boutigque" ...... a truly remarkable place in terms of food and service!!! Took a picture of the "Le Coueur" (a heart-shaped dessert with white chocolate mousse with raspberry and chocolate biscuit bits inside) .... but will have to post it later..
The next place is... here.. Pacific Coffee Company at the Victoria Peak!

Going to head back down town soon to catch the 8pm city light-show back at the Promenade at Kowloon side. Ciao!

Something different..





Because of the rain on saturday morning, we didnt do our usual roller blading. Yinghong still insisted we pack our gear and go try roller blading by at the beach when the rain was still a drizzzle. The little girl quickly changed her mind and suggested we go to Lili-Putt indoor golf at the Big Splash at east coast park. She had quite a good time there, the effects at each hole are different and fun. Our favourite is the MRT station set, where the mini MT really carried the golf ball to a different place....
The afternoon was spent with my mum, sis-in-law and niece& nephew hainv high tea at Equinox. The kids discussed and decided to all stay over at my mum's place for the night So I stole some time to do a pedicure...
That was when boonchong sms me that he bought me a surprise present....hmmmm.
Turned out the next day that its an ASUS mini laptop... the one that I told him I would love to have since last year's pc show.... quite cool! I can hold it on one palm.. and updating my blog on this small thing now... hee.. must show SingChuan,...he would want to have one too...that's my weekend. Now its time to enjoy the usual sunday night movie on tv.. bibi.
