My Babe's Birthday Bash

How time flies! My babe has turned 7.... Last year, I promised her that we would be throwing her a party when she goes to Primary 1 and she will have a chance to invite all her friends.... anyway, kids parties are meant for kids, and most of the invitees should be her friends, except for our relatives and some close friends....

So here she is, having her BIRTHDAY BASH.... only girls were invited, except for her cousin Darren, and some of her friends who came with their brothers....

Daddy and I decided that we will engage a MAGICIAN for this event.... Danny the Magician, will be responsible for the entire party including entertaining all with magic shows, playing games, popping the pinata, cake cutting ceremony, making balloon decorations for the kids and last but not least, he will also provide with the "door gifts" for kids.... That saves me alot of trouble of cracking my head on how to organise games and activities for kids.... All I needed was to get a caterer for the food!!!

The kids had lots of fun and so did Amanda.... The kids were so excited about the magic shows that Danny performed and there was full participation from everyone present.

Amanda was extremely pleased as she received so many presents.... she spent a very long time unwrapping all her gifts and playing with them.... What a memorable BIRTHDAY BASH for my babe!!!

Chinese New Year 2009 in Hong Kong

Yippee!!! Another holiday!!! We have decided to make a trip to Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year. This time, it is not for work, but purely leisure... how nice :) It was such a short flight, merely 3.5 hours, yet my babe vomited in the plane while going and coming back....

Amanda enjoyed Hong Kong very very much. She enjoyed the weather, Hong Kong food, Hui Liu Shan dessert etc etc... In fact, we had Hui Liu Shan dessert almost everyday.... Also ate sumptuous tim sum at Fook Yuen and Foo Lum.... good food and good service....

Places of interest we visited included Avenue of Stars, Da Yu Shan and Ocean Park. Due to time constraint, we decided to give Hong Kong Disneyland a miss, as Amanda had already been to Tokyo Disneyland few years ago.... As it was during CNY period, we were also very lucky to be able to witness the FLOAT on 1st day of CNY and LOVELY FIREWORKS on 2nd day of CNY.... The fireworks were splendid and we had the luxury of watching the fireworks from the penthouse of our hotel....

This trip was totally relaxing for us... rest & relax.... own time own target..... imagine, we even had time to take short naps and then continue with our excursion... or even walking out of the hotel at 1 am past midnight to grab some bites..... a perfect short getaway for us!!!
