Holiday's over so it was back to reality for us this week. After 10 days of late sleep-ins and unstructured days, it was quite a struggle getting Ryan up early in the mornings for school. This week we took on another new challenge, one which I've been putting off for quite some time now - toilet trainning. And so surrounded by our Wiggles (courtesy of my sis, Karen) and Thomas the Tank undies, Ryan and I had our serious "big boy" talk which pretty much consisted of "remember you are wearing big boy's underwear, so if you need to wee wee, you must wee wee in the toilet. REMEMBER ah?" It has been a rather slow process, not to mention the few "accidents", but Ryan seems to be taking on this big boy role quite well. He's really growing up so quickly, everything is now "I can do it myself" or "no Mama/Daddy, let me do it". I miss my baby...

Does this thing actually do anything?

Shad practising his photography in our apartment groundsA friend from my high school days whom I'd lost contact with for many years dropped by for a visit. So I took some "Mama" time-out and we spent a couple of days catching up on the good ol' times. It's always a comfort to know that with some friends, no matter how long we may not see each other, the moment we sit down together we seem to just pick up from where we left off. And so Meera and I reminisced over long lunches, afternoon tea and dinner all over Hong Kong.

My first "star-spotting" experience since we moved here. Guess who?* If you would like to see more of our photos, we've uploaded them on http://minimunchkin.fotki.com/
At present, you are much better than our other sister at providing us with REGULAR updates. I see you guys went straight back to HK Disneyland. Withdrawal symptoms?
ReplyDeleteOi, Miss T, stop complaining if you ain't going to be writing your own blog!!!
ReplyDeleteWah .... Eric Tsang!!!! I want to meet some younger guys when I'm there. Can ar??
Your baby does look like a big boy now *sigh* ... my own baby is no longer a baby anymore either.
Eh, you permed your hair? Looks very pretty.
This blogging is very hard work :) Finding it very difficult to keep the regular updates man.
ReplyDeleteYalah, seem to be only seeing old stars. The other person I saw was Fung Po Po. But even if I do come across any of the younger ones, don't think I'd know who they are.
No, haven't permed my hair since the last time. But fortunately still seem to have some waves. Thanks, I thought it looked rather nice in the Central photo too, hee hee!
Yep Tan, gotta make the most of our annual pass mah :)
why do u have all these security features on your comments section.. have robots been commenting here lately?? how often do you visit disneyland anyway... dun tell me it's your backyard :-P
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was just thinking that. I wouldn't recognise most of the younger stars myself. Except if they were Taiwanese or Korean that is!
ReplyDeleteAiya, never mind lah, we can still go have ladies' high tea one day at the Peninsula and leave the kids with the men ;)
Ya, tell me about it. Not so easy to just bl*@dy plonk words down. Also, sometimes just don't feel like writing anything at all.
Ju-Ju:
They go very often since they have the annual pass. Sometimes maybe just in the evenings for a short while and to watch the fireworks!!
Ben, any ideas on how to remove these security features?
