Mount Butler

Yesterday morning, mommy and I went down to a place called Causeway Bay, because we needed to buy some presents for Frances, Katy and Rachel, because they bought presents for me. Katy wanted nail polish, so mommy and I went into a huge nail and hair store, and the store sold all sorts of nail polish. I bought her a neon pink colored nail polish. For Frances, I bought her the album 'Echo' by Leona Lewis. I may want to get that album myself; it's really good! I bought Rachel 'Echo' as well, because she really likes Leona Lewis. I hope they like the presents!!


After buying all the presents, mommy and I went back home. We then went hiking with Frances, Katy and Samantha. There is a really hard hiking trail called Mount Butler, which is the trail that we hiked yesterday. It was quite tiring, but I still enjoyed it :)


After the long, tiring hike, Frances and Katy stayed over for dinner (pizza, yum!). 


When we were done eating dinner, we watched 'Pride and Prejudice' on the TV. But soon, they had to go back home because it was beginning to get quite late. 


Then, Sophia's dad called, inviting us over for dinner for Christmas Eve. I can't waittt!!

When I woke up this morning, it happened to be another boiling hot and sunny day... so once again tennis became very tiring very quickly. But I still enjoyed playing :)


After tennis, mommy and I ate lunch in the Aberdeen, and when we finished lunch, we looked in a sports store. One of my tennis coaches at Wong Nai Chung says that I should get a jump rope for my foot work for tennis, so I bought a sports jump rope in the sports store. I haven't yet tried out the jump rope, but I really do wanna try it! I also bought a Babolat tennis bag. It can hold 2 tennis racquets and has loads of pockets to put stuff inside. 


When we got back home, Frances and Katy came over to my house to play. We took Samantha out for a walk to the reservoir. I was really tired after having such a tiring tennis lesson this morning. 


After hiking with Samantha, Frances, Katy and I all planned about what we should do during the Christmas holidays.

A busy Three Days

These past three days have been real busy for me!! So sorry I couldn't write in here... so here's the update for Thursday, Friday and today, Saturday:


Thursday


New moon came out today!!! Mommy took Katy and I to watch it at night, and it was soooo good :D I'm planning to watch it at least 5 times... I really enjoyed watching it. I can't wait until the DVD comes out because I'm most definitely buying it!!


At tap today, we had a Christmas party! Frances and I went to Park 'N' Shop earlier to buy some candy, chips and soda for the party. We all played games together and ate and had fun :)


Friday


YAYY!!! School's out today!!! I'm sooo happy :) Seventeen days of holidaayyyy :D At school today, the whole entire school got together and we all sang Christmas carols and the strings orchestra played the songs "Hallelujah", "Jingle Bells", "The Hanukkah Song" and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas". It was a lot of fun. 


We only had a half day at school, so I when I got back home, mommy had booked a dentist's appointment for me. Mommy had found another place to go to the dentist, and I tried it out... my dentist is sooo nice!! And he was really detailed about everything... it was quite interesting actually. But the most important part was that I got to watch a movie while they were doing things to my teeth :) 


After getting my teeth checked, I went over to Sydney's place to play. She just moved a few months ago, and I had never seen her new house... it's really nice! All renovated and stuff... Sydney and I made Christmas decorations for her lobby, but I didn't have time to put it up with her because I soon had to go to ballet class.


At ballet, we had another Christmas party :) Two parties in a row for me! It was even more fun at ballet because there were more people, so the games were more entertaining. 


Saturday


This morning I had a tennis lesson with Todd. It was SO cold outside... I think I got frost bites :( Though that probably isn't possible in Hong Kong...


When I got back home from tennis, our Christmas tree had arrived! It is seven feet, and really nice... I also really like the smell of it :)


Tennis was followed by my violin lesson. 


After violin, mommy and I ate lunch at Mac-Donald's again. 


I wanted to get a haircut, but the salon was really busy today, so we decided to go back on Monday morning, so it wouldn't be so crowded. 


When I got back home, Frances and Katy once again invited me over for dinner. We made sushi together.


When we were done with our sushi, we went down to the indoor playroom and nobody was there, so we climbed around the place and played hide and seek tag.


After about an hour in the playroom, we went back home, and Katy did my nails.... they look really nice!!

When I got back home from the sleep over, I started some of my chinese book report for homework. In the middle of my homework, Sydney called me, asking if I wanted to play basketball with her. So we went down to the basketball courts and we played some shooting games. 


When Sydney had to go back home and I went back home, too, Frances called asking me if I wanted to go swimming with her, because it was really hot and sunny outside. 


So we went down together. After running around for a bit, we got hungry, so we bought popsicles and ate them by the pool. 


I had to go home after a bit because I needed to practice piano and violin. I just finished practicing violin, and now I'm gonna go watch the movie 'School of Rock'. BYE!!!

3 busy days

Ahhhhh! I'm so sorry I didn't write in here for the past three days!!!! I was really busy; Saturday night I had a sleep over with Rachel, Sunday night I had another sleep over with Frances and Katy, and last night I went out for dinner and came home at 1:00 A.M., so I was too tired to write. But I'll write about Saturday, Sunday and Monday right now.


Saturday


     On Friday night, I wanted to invite Rachel over for dinner, but it was really last minute, so mommy hadn't prepared anything for dinner. Instead, she said Rachel could come over on Saturday night for dinner and a sleep over. 
     Before the sleep over with Rachel, I had a violin lesson. I only managed to memorize 2 pages of the concerto, so now I have to memorize 3 more pages.
     After violin class, mommy took me to eat noodles again at the same restaurant as last week. Since this noodle restaurant is really close to the shop 'H&M', mommy said I could go there to buy some clothes for the wintertime. At H&M, I bought:
~A pink sweatshirt with black zebra stripes on it
~A pair of skinny jeans that are very stretchy so they are comfortable
I didn't buy much, so I'll need to go back again because almost all my winter clothes are too small for me and winter is coming soon!!




Sunday


     It was the first time in a while for me to play with Frances and Katy, since we are all really busy with homework. But after lunch today, they were free to play!
     Although it wasn't very sunny outside (it was cold and windy in fact), Katy wanted to go swimming, so we all went down to the pool to swim. As I guessed, the water was SO COLD! But we swam for a long time and soon I was used to the temperature. 
     After swimming, I had to go back home to take a shower and take Samantha out for a short walk. When I told Frances and Katy about having to walk Samantha, they said they wanted to come with me, so after our showers, we went to the park to walk Samantha. 
     When we came back from the walk, Frances and Katy had some very good news for me... we could have a sleep over!!! So I immediately started packing and went over to their house. 
     We made smoothies out of juice, yoghurt, marshmallows, raisin and bananas. When we mixed them all together in the blender, Frances and Katy really didn't like it, but I liked it a lot, so I drank it all up :D
     


Monday  


     This morning, Frances, Katy and I wanted to walk to Stanley with Samantha. Mommy said it was OK. But when we got to my house, mommy said Samantha can't come with us, because she was sick. A couple nights ago, we ordered new dog food, and the bag was open so Samantha ate almost all of it... and it is a pretty big bag!! So now she is vomiting and pooping uncontrollably so we couldn't take her on our walk.
     When we got to Stanley market, it was really busy since it was a public holiday, so we had to wait in a very long line to have lunch. We ate at a restaurant called 'Wildfire' since the line was the shortest.
     After eating some pizza and pasta, we had to go back home because mommy booked a tennis court for me to play with a boy called Jonathan. 
     When we got back home, there was still a few hours left until tennis, so Frances, Katy and I went to the pool to swim. We played hide-and=seek tag. It was really fun but I had to go home to get ready for tennis.
     Jonathan is really, really, really good at tennis, so there weren't a lot of rallies between us at tennis because his shots were so hard for me to return. But after a while of playing I started improving a bit.
     After tennis, Jonathan's mom invited mommy and I over to their house for dinner. Jonathan just got a hamster, so before dinner I played a lot with the hamster called Happy. After dinner, we watched a movie called 'Monster House'. It was pretty good. 
     When the movie was over, it was really late so Jonathan had to go to bed since he has school tomorrow. But it is now my mid-term break, so I could stay up later. 
     But time and time passed, and mommy was still talking with Jonathan's mom. I was so tired that I fell asleep sitting upright! When midnight came, finally I could go back home and sleep in my comfortable, warm bed :)

Birthday Party

Today was so much fun!!


It was Frances' 10th birthday party, and last night I went over to Frances' house for a birthday sleep over. I helped her prepare for her party.


Unfortunately, my violin tutor started exactly when Frances' party started, so I had to be about an hour and a half late for her birthday. I bought Frances an H&M gift card -- like what Sophia gave me. Frances really liked it. At the party, we played games and treasure hunts and stuff :)


Also, I had tennis in the morning, and I thought it would be a bit cooler this week than it was last week; I was wrong. It seemed much hotter today than it did last week at tennis!! I was soooo hot :o


When everyone went back home and it was soon dinner time, Frances, Katy, their mom, my mom and I went to the pool side to have a barbecue dinner. It was really fun as well. After Frances, Katy and I finished dinner, we dipped our feet in the pool and played around. We started trying to make each other laugh and it was really funny.
