Once again at school, we did more christmas crafts. Mommy even came in to help out! I made a red and white beaded candy cane and a green and white beaded wreath. I was going to make a mini red and green candy cane, but I had no time. After making those, I made a photo frame with Sydney. We decorated it with glitter, sequins, beads, tiles and other stuff.... it was a lot of fun :)


After school, we had violin class. On Friday, our school is gonna have a big assembly in the gym with the whole entire school for the Christmas holidays. The advanced strings will be playing a few songs at the assembly. We're gonna play the songs "Hallelujah", "Jingle Bells", "Hanukkah Song", and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas". So for violin class, the whole advanced players rehearsed together.


When I got back home from violin, mommy and I immediately went to Wong Nai Chung for tennis. Today it was freezing cold outside, so I didn't get very tired so soon.

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!!!

After school today, I had violin class. Our concert is over, so we didn't need to practice songs, and there won't be another concert until the end of the year, so we just practiced scales for the whole time.


When I got back home from violin, I directly went to Wong Nai Chung with mommy to try out the group tennis lesson on Wednesdays. It was quite fun! I'm probably gonna start coming to Wong Nai Chung on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays... that is, if I don't get too tired :)


Our neighbors gave us a gigantic santa clause, and it's really cool! We put it outside our door and the people who have seen it so far really like it! I really wanna get more christmas decorations... I just can't wait at all for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning I had a group tennis lesson again at Wong Nai Chung. It was also really hot out, so I got really sweaty. At the same time, it was pretty windy, so it was quite hard to hit the balls properly.


After tennis, one of my friends from school called Isabelle invited me over to her house to play. So when I got back home from tennis, mommy took me down to where Isabelle lives. 


Right next to Isabelle's apartment, there is a big market and plaza with lots of shops. So we went and looked around in the shops. We bought cookies and candies and slushees, and I got this thing called iFoam. Its styrofoam mixed together with colored goo. It's really fun to play with :)


I'm really excited for school tomorrow! We're starting 'Secret Santa'... I wonder who I will get! Also, at our school, we have this things called 'Operation Santa Clause'. We dress up in christmas colors all week and donate $20 every time we dress up. Tomorrow we have to wear red, then on Friday we have to wear green, and then next Friday, on the last day of school, we have to wear red and green. I already have all my red clothes prepared for tomorrow!! I can't wait!!! We will also be starting some christmas crafts, so we'll be making christmas stuff!!! Yayyyyy :D

After school today, mommy and I once again went to Wong Nai Chung for a tennis group lesson. My calves were really, really sore because at school today for P.E., we had to run for 20 minutes... nonstop!! So I'm extremely tired right now. 


After the 2 hours of tennis, I directly went to tap. We worked on our dance to the song 'Steppin' Out With My Baby'. 


Tomorrow at school, we have something called "China Day". We're gonna be playing chinese games, eating chinese food, and wear chinese clothes. All the girls have to wear a chinese dress, which is called a 'qi pao'. I'm quite excited for tomorrow!!

Last night was so much fun! It was Rachel's school fair, and she invited me to go with her. Her school fair was during the nighttime, so right after our ballet class, we got ready and went to her school together for the fair. 


When we got there, Rachel met up with her other school friends. Pretty soon, I started talking with them and then we became friends. At the school fair, we went into a haunted house which was really scary because people were jumping out at you and stroking your faces and everything. We also played laser tag, went on bouncy castles, bought lots of really good candy, and I bought a small pink squishy pillow... it's very comfortable :)


When we got back from the fair, it was already very late so I didn't have time to write in here...


Today, I had a play date with one of my friends at school called Jessica. I went over to her house and we played on the computer, played with our iPod Touches, played outside, and baked some really yummy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.


I had to leave Jessica's at 4:00 because I had another tennis group lesson again at Wong Nai Chung. It was really tiring, and my legs are still really tired and sore from Thursday's training... but I still enjoyed it!


After tennis, Katy called, inviting me over for dinner. So I went over, and after dinner, we watched 'America's Got Talent' on TV. Then we played 'Twister' and played the 'Wii'. While I was at Frances and Katy' place, mommy and daddy were out eating dinner. When they got back I had to go back home. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!! It's also daddy's birthday today! He's turning 39 (not really) :D


I am a M.C. for the Chinese Assembly that is coming up next week, so today at school I had a rehearsal. It was really fun and I can't wait!


When I got back home after school, I quickly went to Wong Nai Chung again for a group tennis lesson. I saw lots of other people from my school as well. It was really tiring today because we ran lots and lots of laps around 6 courts!!


I just got back and am now getting ready to go to a restaurant to have a Thanksgiving feast with daddy and mommy. 

This morning, I once again went to Wong Nai Chung to play tennis. The people who were in the clinic today were really good, so it was very tiring. Right now, every part of my body is aching and sore.

After tennis, mommy and I went to Aberdeen to have lunch. We ate lunch at a Vietnamese noodle shop. When we finished lunch, I got a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream.

We passed by a shoe store with loads of All Star Converse shoes, and I saw two types of Converse that I really liked. One is gray with white and pint hearts on it. The other is pink and white stripes. I got both of them... they are really nice!

When we got back home, I practiced my piano and quickly finished my chinese book report for tomorrow. Then I called Rachel to play and we watched some TV. She just left to go eat dinner.

When I got back from school today, I had a quick snack and quickly went down to Wong Nai Chung with mommy for tennis training again. I played for 2 hours with other people. The people in my group were pretty good; there was even this one 5 year old boy who can play as good as me!!  


After the long tennis training, I went back home for tap. I was extremely exhausted at tap because at tennis we did lots of tiring drills. 


When I got back home from tap, Grayce called me and invited me to have a sleep over with her at her house tomorrow night. I asked mommy, and she said it was okay!! So tomorrow night, after my ballet class, I'm going to go to Grayce's house. I can't wait!!!

I am SO tired right now!! Right after school, I ate a quick snack and mommy once again took me to Wong Nai Chung to try out for a tennis group lesson there. It wasn't too humid outside, so I never thought I would get too tired and sweaty, but I was waaayyy wrong. After only about half an hour, I was so tired and I was extremely hot!! I played for about 2 hours, but I actually really enjoyed it, though it was exhausting!

After the long tennis lesson, I went to tap class. Ms. Claire mentioned a job that she wanted me to do. It is performing at a mall for 2 weekends and I will be paid HK$4,000!! YAYYY :D

For this week's homework, it is all due tomorrow and I left it all for tonight... so I was rushing to finish it before it got too late, and I only just finished... so now I gotta go to bed because tomorrow is Sports Day and I don't want to be tired on Sports Day!!

G'night :D

It was the first day back at school today, and I'm actually quite happy to be back because I was really bored during the holidays and now that I have school, I won't have nothing to do!


After school, Alex, Sydney, Sophia and I all stayed behind to wait for clarinet class. So we did all our homework in our classroom. Soon it was time for our clarinet class.


Once again, our original clarinet teacher, Mr. Lovett, was sick again today, so Mrs. Webster taught us instead... I haven't seen Mr. Lovett in ages!! At clarinet, we played some new Christmas carols for our Christmas concert next month.


When clarinet class was over, mommy took Sophia and me back home. 


After the short taxi ride, I finally decided to stop disco dance class. I have really enjoyed doing disco, but the dances are way too easy for me and I am not old enough to be moved up to the higher level with more challenging dances. So I've stopped disco for now and I'm gonna start doing more tennis and maybe start after school basketball with Sydney.


So instead of going to disco, mommy and I walked down to the Wong Nai Chung tennis courts where kids who are really good at tennis (including Jonathan) play. But we got there too late because it was already the end of the group lesson and they were just playing games; so I couldn't really see how good they were...
