Day 3 HK trip

We woke up a little earlier today for some famous dianxin at Tien Hao Yun.





Googled around about this dim sum which is pretty famous and Took the MTR and walk quite a distance before reaching.


Reached finally and this is how i visualise Hong Kong..



The junction streets..



This is how they pay their parking fee.



Waited for 45minutes and finally our turn.



Ordered a few dim sum. Too many pics so forget about it to post in this post.



Qiqi playing with her spoon as she doesnt really fancy dim sum. Overall it was yummy but I was hoping to be more traditional something like the Red Star restaurant where they push the trolley around.

Anyways we went to Wong Ta sin after that and pray.



Qiqi also wana pray to the Gods!



The temple..



After that we had to the famous MongKok for some shopping.



It is so crowded! And Fun!












Walk until our legs breaking..and decided to rest in macdonalds.





After all the shopping we decided to go back hotel. But we didnt forget something we wanted to try and head around to find.



Roast Goose!!!!! It was yummy!
And finally pack off for the next day. Disneyland!!!! Dead tired..

Day 2 Xmas Day

Recently my iphone blog app has some crashing issues thus no matter how I update, halfway thru it will crash and I gave up. Continuing from where I stopped. We lived in L Nina Hotel which right below is a very typical hongkong market which very much look like the olden days of Singapore. Over there we also get to see a lot of elderly which let me recall back my very young days where my grandmother was still around. She dressed very much like them back then and now you can hardly see those clothings in Singapore.

Ok talking back to the trip, the second day of our Hongkong trip we had a hearty hong kong authentic breakfast and the porridge was and honey lemon was really nice.

We took MTR and went to catch the cable car to proceed to Ngong Ping. As usual it was a qing experience again and this round we queued for almost 2 hours.

Luckily the effort was worthwhile as when we took the cable car, everything was much better. Alicia had fun looking at the cable car, she was so excited that she was so high up above the mountains and at times can see people walking below us. It was cold and breezy, upon reaching we had to walk through a village of shops. We took quite a lot of memorable tourist photos and had some authentic curry fish balls on the way.

Finally we walked to the Giant Buddha and before we reach to the top, we have to climb 268 steps. It was so high up but I am so proud my Alicia did it all by herself and climb all the way. Here are some pics.

Finally dark was coming and the Island is about to close. Unfortunately we were unable to visit the temple but it was a fulfilling trip. As usual we have to queue for around 2 hours before reaching the cable car point and regretted not trying the crystal cabin as it wasn't that scary after all. Upon reaching we went to Citygate outlets for dinner but the Food Republic food court was really terrible and Qiqi was too tired to shop around so we took a cab and hurried back to hotel.

Day 1 xmas eve

Upon reaching Hong Kong, alicia was not really in her best behaviour. As she could not stand heat, and when she goes to a shopping centre, she start fussing that she is hot with all the warm clothes.


So basically we were just taking out and wearing shoes. And a lot of people were asking isnt she cold?? Haha u dono her enough...



We check in and got ready to go visit around.We went to Victoria Peak to celebrate christmas. It was a beautiful view and it was really cold!


Its really high, COLD and beautiful.


We also went to the wax museum but didnt get to take photos with the camera phone.



You can also see xmas choirs everywhere. Its really interesting!

Art and Craft

Qiqi really like art and craft. Her teacher even commented she enjoys a lot and make sure she colors and does a good job which others at her age dont. I guess this does have some genes similarity with his dad.



I bought her make some art and craft at nex while we were waiting for daddy. She tolds me the old one at home is spoil already so we need to make another new one.



Her complete work!



Look how happy she is! Noe is pasting proudly at our overflooded fridge with cute magnets and art work...

Last day of school

For memory purpose, this post came in real late but yet essential that we cannot miss it.


We have left enrichment classroom and on to Agape!
Reason being it has always been straining to pay for everything now and soon auntie's contract is going to end and if we renew her mummy could no longer afford it. Besides that we have to consider next year the timing will change and afterall mummy hopes i can learn more lifeskills too. If mummy wants to put me to a longer timing childcare mummy have to do it now before all the spaces run out.


With me now much stronger, mummy decided to try childcare again so our financial problems will be less straining.



Of course with such a good school, it will be wasted to let it go thus mummy have enrolled for me an additional weekend class to let me continue my phonics class which it will help me gain the skills of reading faster. Cross fingers all work out well!

3rd Day of School

Its the 3rd Day of school and Alicia is starting to adapt Agape.




She calls the school "Bear School". Although she crys a little here and there, it was still manageble. We are just keeping our fingers cross every single day.



Monday although is a monday blue for us but it seems good for her at school. The curiculam was pretty fun esp there was gym kids for her so to her it was a lot of fun.



When we went to pick her up, she was in all smiles. Hope this goes on and on.




The teacher even tie a scorpion hair style which was cool...




Ok! Time to go home!

Childcare at Agape

Alicia started her childcare at 1 Dec 2011 at Agape. This is first day of school and alicia woke up earlier than usual.


The children were watching tv and some were having breakfast. The bad part i think about this school is they like to drown the children with tv programs and the whole morning it was almost just tv, national anthem and karaok. It was quite dissapointing that they can do a lot of things instead like morning exercise, read a storybook, talk abt safety, teach children songs and nursery rhymes. They gave me the feeling like they were passing by time with no plan of what they want to do. The teachers can do things halfway and suddenly switch to another activity. It let me remember the days where qiqi was in first skool and i try not to think abt it. I just had to keep telling myself its dec and they have no curriculam to teach the children.


But of course yet it was still not as bad as first skool experience but its just that alicia previous preschool really spoilt the market and they were really good i just cant help comparing.


Sigh...no choice..Last year my expectation to the school is education is very important but nw childcarin is also important thus i couldnt be fussy and pick on it. It let me wonder are all childcare like that? I decided to close two eyes...


Of course they arent all that bad.. I personally find the school makes a lot of effort decorating the school making it bright and cheerful. They even have a website for the parents to view what the kids have learnt or doing at school.This was a plus point. They even create a file for all the children with a lot of pictures of the past half year and their progress. This i nv saw it at first skool nor kidzone,


And there are so many fun trips for the children every term which is also a plus point cause i wan alicia to enjoy and love her school. Thus i decided to press on. Hopefully after the transit is over, it will be much better. Press on! Qiqi and mummy!
