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!!!

Charity Bazaar

It was the Charity Bazaar today!! I woke up really early this morning to start getting ready. Later, Rachel came over and mommy helped us do our hair. When she was done, we went over to Rachel's house where her mom helped put on make-up for us. We were supposed to be at the dance studio to rehearse our dances by 10:00, but when I left home, I had forgotten my dance shoes. When I went back up to get them, as I was about to go into the studio, I realized I had forgotten my hat for part of my disco costume!! Although Ms. Claire told us to be there at 10:00 sharp, I ended up being about 10 minutes late. I kept worrying that I would miss the rehearsal for my dance, but turns out that I was pretty early... we hadn't started dancing until around 10:20!


Finally, the time to perform came. It was so hot inside my costume because since I have to change into three costumes, I was wearing many, many layers of my costumes to help make it easier for me to change faster. So after the first few seconds of my first dance, I was immediately exhausted. I was very happy when I got to change back into normal, comfortable clothes, with just one layer.


After performing, Rachel and I got hamburgers. The hamburgers at the Charity Bazaar are soooo good!! I love them :) 
And of course, after eating my delicious hamburger, I had to have something sweet. So I got cotton candy... and the cotton candy is even better than the hamburgers!! They make it humongous and very, very sugary. I loved it as well...


When we finished eating, we walked around, looking at the stalls. Rachel bought a few things, but nothing there interested me, so I didn't buy anything. Well, I did buy a really small popsicle keychain...


Rachel and I soon got very bored of the Charity Bazaar, so Rachel came over to my house and we watched the movie 'Mean Girls'. We didn't get to finish the movie because Rachel soon had to go back home :(


When Rachel left, mommy took me to Pacific Place to watch the new movie, 'Garfield'. It was really good and funny. I enjoyed watching it in 3D, though the movie was only about 1 hour.


After the short movie, I had to go get some t-shirts in Wanchai for camp tomorrow (YAY!) because all my clothes that I currently have are too precious to wear to camp and get dirty :D
I bought 4 really cheap shirts... they're actually really cool.


When we finished getting the shirts, we went to eat at a Thai restaurant called 'The Chili Club'. I wasn't very hungry, so I didn't eat much... but now I'm starting to get more hungry............


YYAAAYYYYY!!!!!! CAMP IS TOMORROW!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight because I definitely can't stand or sit still for just one second at the moment... I'm sooooo excited!! Can't wait to write all about it later! But unfortunately there won't be any computers at camp, so I won't be able to write any posts on Monday or Tuesday, but I will be back on Wednesday to write aaaalllll about fun, exciting, wonderful camp *^_^*!  

It just had to be blazing hot outside on the day of my tennis lesson when it could have been nice, cool and slightly breezy. But surprisingly, although the sun was really, really hot for me (and I was playing on the non-shaded side of the court), I didn't even complain a bit about being hot and uncomfortable; and I didn't even feel extremely exhausted.... well, that's good isn't it?

After my not-so-tiring tennis lesson, I hurried to take a shower and rushed to my violin lesson in Midlevels. Before violin, mommy and I ate lunch at a noodle shop, where we stayed at for too long because we ended up being quite late for my lesson. My violin lesson seemed to pass by real quickly, so before I knew it, I was walking out my violin tutor's studio.

Mommy and I walked all the way to Wanchai because I needed to get new shoes and we knew a shoe store in Wanchai. But when we got to the store, there wasn't a very big selection of shoes, and all shoes were very expensive, so unfortunately I didn't get any new shoes today :(

But I did get a few new t-shirts at some clothing store that sells cheap clothes!

After looking around in Wanchai, mommy took me to a mall called Sogo. We looked around in Sogo and I really wanted to get some things in the Roxy store, but everything was at the least HK$200... even for a plain t-shirt!! So I didn't buy anything. 

When I got back home, I called Niki to see if she was free to play. I went over to her house and we practiced our dance for the Charity Bazaar with Annabelle. When Annabelle had to go back home, I stayed and watched half of the movie called 'Picture This' starring Ashley Tisdale with Niki. Then I had to go home to have dinner.

Yayyyyy!!! Tomorrow is the Charity Bazaar! I'm really excited but I'm not exactly looking forward to the changing costumes part because there won't be any bathroom stalls for me to change in!! And I have three dances to do, which means three completely different costumes to wear. So every year, mommy holds up a big towel while I change... it's quite embarrassing... you do not know how many people are watching! But I'm still really excited for the Charity Bazaar :D

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 >:-(
