Sep 17 追月

As usual, I took her downstairs to have breakfast. We usually have a short stroll along the water. She's lately obsessed with ocean and ships. She spotted a boat and stood there for a few minutes. 

It looked like a forest but it's actually next to the water promenade. This place is small but it looks big compared to this little human. 

She looks like Ah Lun, it's like taking a selfie with her dad. 

After the morning walk, Tin Tin has prepared the lunch. We were welcomed by a butterfly. Haha

After lunch, we were getting ready for sleep. She picked daddy to read her a story. 

After the playgroup, we went to Kwun Tong to see the book sales. We got three books for Megan, and she was so upset if we did not let her to hold favorite book. 

We went to have early dinner nearby, and Ah Lun said they really offered great food. I agreed! 

Megan kept playing at mealtime these days. Luckily, she had a very big lunch and all these excitements made her full. 

Family selfie. We finished the dinner in one hour. What a rush! 

We ordered two steaks and they were cooked to perfection. 

She could not resist to read the book. It's about the wheels on the bus. These wheels are just magic. 

Sep 16 中秋

Papa needs to work today. But we had a short family swimming time in the afternoon. 

This is probably the last swim this summer. It's a bit windy and chilly. 

One hand holding polar bear and the other one is red little boat. 

Some funny shots with Kailan on that day. 

Kailan is finishing her yoghurt everyday. Such a healthy dog. 

Megan loves to put dots with her red crayon. So I asked her what are these, she replied a few times these are apples. So I am taking a picture to record this. 

Ah Lun was sending this full moon picture on his way to work. How amazing. 

Sep 15 迎月

This is Megan's first mid-autumn festival that she can walk with her own lantern. 

Got her a rabbit classic lantern in LED lights. 

Megan, do you know what you are doing? 

Family selfie 

The moon shine just passed through a thick layer of clouds for a short period of time 

Moon watching, so romantic! 

She is a daddy's girl. 

On our way home... 

It's been just an hour evening walk, and she needs to go back home for shower and bedtime ASAP. Happy to have a great family time on this MAF eve. 

Friday (Sep 2)

As Megan is a so-called young baby born  after Sep, she will only go to nursery class in November after she's officially two years old. 

As she's jumping in the class half-way in Nov, we don't have a lot of days to accompany Megan to school. 

Because of this, I joined a playgroup to be held at Cannan Kowloon Tong campus. I really think this is a great arrangement, so she's going to school once a week for two months before her nursery class starts. She had a chance seeing other kids going to school in the same campus. 

It's less educational than Nottingham, and it's really fun. I am very contented with this arrangement and I call this an orientation programme. Haha. 

The whole purpose is to let her speak more Cantonese, it's so hard to speak Cantonese to her as Tin Tin is the primary caretaker. I am sure she will get used to the Chinese environment once she goes to school. 

Saturday (Sep 3)

Morning started like this. Lazy. 

After that, I am rushing to the spa. Just clearing my money there - had a body massage, manicure and pedicure. 

The view is superb! 

When I had finished all the treatments, we rushed home to pick up Megan for the playgroup. When papa is coming to pick up her daughter, megan and Kailan were so happy. He looks like a hero to us, we welcome papa home like he's an Olympic medalist. 

Megan is clingy these days. So papa will have to say good bye to Megan in a short time. We cannot make the departure too long. 

By the way, Its a new term starting in September, so we are meeting new friends. We had four little boys as classmates and Megan becomes the only girl. 

She had a complete change in this new term. Amazing! She's spelling loudly with Ms Angel. So pleased to see her progress. 

After the playgroup, we meet connie's family at our club house's playground. 

Rain rain go away come again another day. 

This parents are tired!! It's a hot day. 

It's a super great ending of Saturday. 

Food art by Tin Tin

Am I supposed to record my daughter's artwork? Now I am creating a collection of tin tin's art. I did not ask her to do this, she proactively did these food art. I just told her that she can use my food art tools. 

This is Saturday dinner. When we are out for playgroup she had a 2-hour break. She prepared the dinner nicely and also cleaned the house and had a shower. She's really efficient. 

Megan had salmon rice with lots of veggies. Lately she loves tomatoes. 

Drawing by Tin Tin

O'mcdonald had a farm, e i e i o!! 

Tin tin must draw the cow because of this song which is loved by Megan. 

But I think she looks like Lan lan wor! 

Aussie Friends gathering

We were once all marketing and PR specialists under Tourism Australia or its state tourism. We are efficient and responsive people that can fix a dinner including the venue within one half day. Cynthia said we are the most efficient group and that's very true. Sinead said if she's a boss she will hire us all. 

Sinead is coming over to Hong Kong for business trip. We are taking her to try award winning dishes. Never tried any Chinese fine dining in Hong Kong. Because of Shanon's relationship with the executive chef, we paid for a very reasonable price for this yummy and presentable dinner. 

The place is great for girls chat too. 

Appetizers

Mushroom soup. Yummy. Lots of flavors! 

Award winning dish - it's looks so pretty and the photo cannot reflect her beauty in certain extent. Most importantly, that yello mountain thing tastes so good

Old style salted chicken. 

Standard dish but delivered perfectly

This one is another award winning dish!! The garnish and the taste! It's the quality of championship. The pear is so tasty and I said three times. 

This is a very delicious yam bun. The other two are nice too. 

Each of us paid $622 in the end, so it must be discounted giving face to Shannon. 

Executive chef is so talented. As usual, I am very generous in praising his dishes. I hope my compliments made his hard work rewarding. 

Shannon will take us to have another great meal next time like 志雲飯局
