This morning I had tennis with Todd. It was really hot today, so I got really sweaty and tired really quickly.

After tennis, I quickly got changed and mommy and I went to go to my violin lesson.

After violin, I ate a fast lunch at MacDonald's, then we went to a noodle restaurant for mommy to eat her lunch.

We were planning to go get a haircut for me, but mommy had to do something back home, so now she is out and I am all alone... bored... nothing to do :(

But when she is back we're gonna go back downtown to get my haircut.. I can't wait!

Later tonight, we're gonna go to a concert that Ms. Kwok will be in. It's gonna end really late so I hope I won't be too tired so I can stay up to watch the whole thing!

Concerts

These past nights were really busy for me!! Last night was a band concert, where I played my clarinet. We played one concert for the assembly which was during school, and then another one at night for our parents and teachers to see. I really enjoyed playing in my very first band concert. The middle school jazz group also came to our concert to play a few songs with us. Their songs are really cool and I hope I can play those songs as well when I'm in middle school!!


I just came back from another concert, but this time it was a strings concert. This strings concert wasn't my very first concert because I've been playing in the strings program for 2 years now. But I still also really enjoyed it :D


At school today, there was a book fair going on. So our class went to look at the books. I bought a few books there. They are called:


~Fablehaven (book 1) by Brandon Mull
~So B. It by Sarah Weeks
~Guts by Gary Paulsen


I've only started reading Fablehaven, which is really good so far, but my teachers and friends all say the other two books are really good and exciting as well!

Daddy had to leave to go to Beijing today!!! :( 


This morning I didn't go to tennis because my body was way to sore and I could barely move... even now I'm extremely stiff! 


After lunch today, mommy, daddy and I all went down to watch a concert at a place called 'City Hall'. It was a concert with violins, cellos, double bass', trumpets, clarinets, flutes, xylophones, drums, and other instruments I can't name. It was really cool and I enjoyed watching and listening to it.


After the concert, daddy had to go to the airport which was right next door. The airport is inside the mall 'IFC2' so after sending daddy off, we shopped around. I needed to get black shoes for the clarinet and strings concert next week, so in the shoe store 'Geox', I found some  really nice, shiny, black flats. They are really pretty.


After getting the shoes, we ate dinner again at the sushi restaurant 'Sen Ryo'. 

Know Your Clarinet

There is a new concert in Hong Kong called 'Know Your Clarinet'. Mommy took me to that concert, and it was actually really enjoyable to watch! There was a really good clarinetist who can play all different kinds of clarinets.

Since the shopping mall IFC (no, it's nothing like Natick Collection in Boston) is very close to where the concert was, mommy then took me to a store called Zara and I bought a couple of winter clothes for this year. 

I also wanted to go to the bookstore Dymocks, but we had to go home for dinner; I guess I'll just have to wait for another time to go to Dymocks!! 

After practicing some clarinet, I ordered pizza for dinner and watched some TV. So now I'm just gonna go read my 'Eclipse' book and get ready for tomorrow's school! =P

Paul McCartney Concert

I was sitting on the train, with nothing to do, on the way to Fenway Park. I tried to entertain myself by looking out the window, but there was barely anything to see.

Finally, the train stopped and I heard the robotic voice in the train saying, "Fenway". I rushed out of the train, eager to get out. I went into the first restaurant, wanting to eat food immediately. But there were no seats left. I kept on walking, looking for restaurants. I passed by tons of bars, obviously not allowing children like me. As I continued walking by rows and rows of bars, I was nearly convinced that there were no restaurants. But then, I saw a place where kids were going inside, so I rushed up to the place and found myself standing inside Longhorn Steakhouse. I love steak. As I stuffed the steak in my mouth, I noticed how late it was getting. I quickly went out the restaurant. As I made my way to get tickets, I suddenly got distracted by an ice-cream shop. I bought a flavor called Purple Cow (raspberry ice-cream with bits of white and dark chocolate).

When I picked up the tickets, I made my way to the stadium, already starting to hear the warm-up band, MGMT. I passed by rows and rows of stretch limos. It was my first time seeing stretch limos, and they were really cool to look at. I drew my eyes away from the limos and kept on walking to the stadium. I finally got seated in my seat.

The concert was great! I loved watching Paul McCartney sing, and I hope to watch him sing more. Before the concert, I thought I wouldn't enjoy it much because I didn't know the Beatles very well, and when I listen to them sing, I can't stay entertained by just listening to them sing. But as soon as I get back to Hong Kong, where home is, I want to download all the Beatles songs and I'm sure that now I will love their songs!
