Decorating for Christmas!

This morning, daddy, mommy and I all went down to Wong Nai Chung for a group tennis lesson for me. Today it was really, really sunny and boiling hot, so after only half an hour I was extremely tired. The last hour was so tiring because it was noon time and thats when the sun is hottest... but I guess I still enjoyed it. 


After tennis, we went down to the Aberdeen and we ate noodles for lunch.


When we were done with lunch, we went up to a music store called 'Tom Lee'. Daddy bought me an acoustic guitar!!! He really wants me to learn the guitar :) 


After buying the guitar, daddy had to go back home to work. Mommy and I went to Wanchai and went to a stationary shop called Cosmos so I could buy a present for Secret Santa in school. I bought:


~a blue mechanical pencil
~a black mechanical pencil
~a green mechanical pencil
~ a red mechanical pencil
~ a plain, white eraser
~a blue, white and orange striped eraser
~a green camouflage pencil case


I hope the person likes it!!


When mommy and I were on our way back home, we passed by the lobby and a bunch of people in our tower were decorating the lobby for Christmas. I stayed and helped decorate. Soon, Rachel passed by and joined us as well. Then, Niki called me and asked if she could play. So then Rachel, Niki, me and lots of other people decorated the lobby. It was loads of fun! One person had loads and loads of decorations so now our lobby looks really cool and bright! There is a competition called 'Deck the Halls'. Each tower competes against each other, trying to decorate their tower the best... we'd better win 1st prize this year!!!

Violin Tutor

My old violin tutor Elodie was really great, but unfortunately, she had to move to Spain, so I couldn't take any more lessons with her :( . But mommy found another violin tutor for me, and I just had a lesson with him today. He's really nice! He wasn't strict at all, which I am very glad about.

After my violin class, mommy and I tried to catch a taxi into Wanchai (small town with little shops). But, there were literally no taxis at all to hail!! Lots and lots of taxis passed by, but all of them were occupied. We walked for about 45 minutes, still searching for taxis. In the end, we still didn't find a taxi. We just rode a tram to Wanchai instead.

It was really hot, so I was very glad to enter the bookstore, Cosmos, because Cosmos is very freezing cold inside! :D . But, I couldn't read any books in Cosmos because all the books were wrapped in plastic! That's the bad thing about bookstores in Hong Kong. Very little books are unwrapped so you can read them. I prefer the bookstores in America, because pretty much all the books aren't wrapped at all!

After Cosmos, I planned to go swimming, but I was just too tired. So I just stayed at home and watched a movie and finished some of my Chinese homework... I still have some homework that I need to finish tomorrow >:-(

Party Favors

I just came back from shopping in a stationary shop called Cosmos with mommy. We had to buy party favors for my birthday party that is this Saturday. I would love to write what party favors I bought, but some of my friends who are invited to my party may be reading this, and I don't want them to know what the party favors are!! So sorry :(

We also bought stuff for a game we will be playing called Pass the Parcel. We bought little prizes, but again, I can't list the prizes we bought.

Earlier this morning, before I went to the bus stop to go to school, I stopped by at one of my friends' house called Michelle and gave her an invitation to my birthday party. But I'm still not sure yet if she can come... hopefully she can!!

School was just normal, nothing special happened today... but tomorrow I might bring in chocolate chip cookies for the class to celebrate my birthday!! Can't wait for that!

Oh wow! I'm gonna be 10 so soon! Cool -- YAY
