Christmas Eve

Last night, I went over to Sophia's house for a Christmas Eve party! We ate a huge turkey and played lots of fun Christmas games... and drank a lot of egg nog, too! Then we watched the movie 'Meet the Robinsons'. It's not really a Christmas movie, but Sophia didn't have any other Christmas movies, so we just watched that. It's a funny movie!


This morning, I got up real early and immediately began opening presents. Here's what I got:


~For Your Entertainment album by Adam Lambert (from Rachel)
~4 Hawaiian baby shrimps (from ?)
~A pink mechanical pencil and blue pen (from mommy)
~Pink Sony Cybershot camera (from ?)
~Pink fluffy footie slippers with internal heaters (from ?)
~Soap and shampoo from the Body Shop (from mommy)
~Pearl necklace (from daddy)

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!! 

This morning, mommy and I went to Central to get a haircut at La Chine. I said to cut my hair 3 inches, and when the haircutter was done, it felt WAY shorter than 3 inches! It may still look really long right now, but it's quite short compared to my hair before... I also got my side bangs cut a little bit shorter.


After the haircut, we went to the DVD store 'HMV' and looked for a present for daddy. I can't say what I bought him, because he might be reading this right now!!


After buying the presents, we looked inside at Marks & Spencer. I bought a red bath robe and a box of candy canes :)


When we got back home, I got the news that our tower had won the Deck The Halls competition! The Deck The Halls competition goes on every year during Christmas time, and judges go around the towers and judging the decorations in the tower. Rachel and I signed up to be in the competition, and we worked really hard to decorate our tower. And we won! So we're gonna get prizes, yay!

I'm soooo happy!! Daddy came back from about a whole month in America!! So now he's here in Hong Kong again!!!!! YAY :) 
When daddy got back, he bought me a few presents:


~American Girl book called, 'Felicity Story Collection'
~American Girl book called, 'Peril at King's Creek'
~American Girl book called, 'Traitor in Williamsburg' 
~American Girl book called, 'A Smart Girl's Guide to the Internet'
I especially like the book about the Internet!!!


Yesterday's disco was AMAZING!! I loved it so much; it was so much fun!!! We did a dance to the song, 'You Know I'm No Good' by Amy Winehouse and usually at disco, it would be really boring because it was much too easy for me, but now that I am in a higher level, it is much more challenging and fun for me :D


At school, we're doing a project for science about water pollution. Last night, I measured how much water I was wasting while waiting for the water in the the shower to warm up... I got 1,640 mL in just 10 seconds!! So in 10 minutes, it would be 99,000 mL! That's a lot of water I'm wasting, so now I'm taking much, much shorter showers!

August 21st... MY BIRTHDAY!!!

The day I have always been waiting for has finally arrived... my birthday!!! I'm finally 10 now!

At school, everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to me and then mommy and daddy brought in chocolate muffins... they were really good :) Everyone in my class loved them!

After the great day of school, I went to buy lots of candy with mommy at the supermarket for tomorrow's birthday party. That was the first time I bought so much candy!

Since it was really hot today, I went swimming in the pool with Frances and Katy. It was sooo refreshing!! We played games and talked for a long time until our fingers and toes got all wrinkly and stuff. Then we got out and they went to a tennis lesson.

When Frances and Katy got back from tennis and had dinner, they both came over to my house to open my presents from mommy and daddy. Before, I was soooo super duper excited, and I really thought I couldn't wait to open up the mysterious present, but I managed to wait :)

And guess what I got... the newest version of the iPod Touch!!! It's a touch screen and it's really cool; I love it!! I also got really comfortable headphones for the iTouch and they are really good for the plain because it has lots of cushioning.

When I opened the fantastic, super, great present, I went over to Frances and Katy's house for a sleep over! We played lots of computer, and planned my birthday party!

I can't wait for my birthday party!!!
