Sorry I couldn't write these past days... I've had really late nights. On Friday night, friends invited us to eat at the FCC (Foreign Correspondent Club) for dinner and we came back home extremely late, and on Saturday night, after playing about 3 hours of tennis at Wong Nai Chung, mommy, daddy and I went to the Chili Club for dinner and came home really late as well. 


Today was the Sedan Chair Race and Bazaar at the Matilda Hospital. Island Dance (the dance company where I take dance class) was invited to perform there. So this morning, I went over to Katy's house and we got ready together, then her mom took us to the hospital which was where we were performing. I only performed my disco dance, "Low". It was really windy up at the Peak which is where the Matilda Hospital is. It was freezing and the costumes were really thin so we were all freezing!! 


After the performance, Katy, her mom, mommy, daddy, and I all shared a taxi to go back home. 


For a science project for school, I had to get a water sample at the reservoir. So mommy, daddy and I walked with Samantha down to the reservoir. We scooped up some water and surprisingly, the water looked so clean!! I could barely tell the difference between purified water and water straight from the ocean!


We were walking back home with Samantha, and we decided to take her off the leash and play fetch with her. As we threw the ball and Samantha ran to catch it, she disappeared into the bushes. We couldn't see her anywhere. It was beginning to pour with rain and we had to hurry home to get dry, so we couldn't stay long to look for her; Samantha had run away loads of times before and we knew that she wouldn't come back just from a simple call of her name.


I was so sad. I kept worrying that she wouldn't come back and she would be stuck out in the pouring cold rain. But when we just got back home, Sophia's mom called us. She had found Samantha!! So daddy and I went back down to the Country Park where Sophia, Rogan and her mom waited for us with a very guilty Samantha. Apparently, Sophia had found Samantha in the barbecue pit and Sophia cornered Samantha and managed to catch her! I have no idea how she did it because Samantha is one fast dog, but I'm so glad that she's back!!!

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 *^_^*!
