From Black & White to Colour!

Learned this trick from a website.  You can try it on your own too.

Look at the image below.  Stare at the red dot in the middle of the model’s nose for 30 seconds. Then stare at a white wall or screen and blink rapidly!  You should see my lovely girl in colours!  Isn’t it amazing!

Happy CNY!

My parents and sisters have already boarded the plane to China to visit some long distance relatives in Xiamen.  CNY’s visitation this year is already half done before it has even begun.  Still we want to let the kids enjoy a bit of the festive mood on day 1.  Thus we brought them to see their “roots”.  To visit their old but yet very strong and healthy great grandmother.

IMG_4252My Ah Mah was happy to see the little ones

IMG_4254Jennan wasn’t co-operative initially and I had to make her to take this picture.  Which explained why…

I titled this “Life is full of Tears & Joy”

IMG_4257Still a little emo here

My Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday.  After coming back from a crowded Hong Kong, the last thing I wanted to do was to “squeeze” with others over a meal.  Cheng & I decided to have it simple and choose to celebrate a quiet evening at T2 Swensen’s.  Truly, hardly anyone was there on a Wed night.  Nothing fancy but just the company of love ones.

My boy is so sweet & thoughtful.  He only found out at the dinner itself that it was my birthday.  As we were on our way home, he said he would like to buy me a present.   With all the shops closed, we went to a 7 eleven store near our place and he picked up this for me.

Potato Chips from my son.  As we walked out, he asked me…

Dylan: Daddy, what time will you come home tomorrow?

Me: Late, cos Daddy has CG on Thu.

Dylan: Then Fri?

Me: Yes, Daddy will be home early.

Dylan: Ok then, I will get you a present… a toy.

Me: I thought you’ve just gotten me a present (referring to the chips)?

Dylan: No.. that one not counted. Chips is for eating. I will get you a toy on Fri.

I looked at him and smiled all the way back home…

HK 2012 – Day 7

Sorry for the wait.  After Disney on Day 7, there was simply no energy left in me to blog or post up the photos.  I choked up 7+GB of space in my memory card just on the wonderland.  Plus the fact that our holiday was coming to an end, thus feeling a little down.  Finally found some time after all the unpacking to put up a few of my favourite pictures of Disney.

HK 2012 – Day 6

It’s Sunday.  People everywhere!  This is supposed to be Cheng and my day where we get a day off from the kids.  To top that, it has been drizzling since morning.  The “heaviest” 毛毛雨 thus far.  After getting the lup cheong from 鏞記, Sis brought the kids back to hotel room to rest and mother, Cheng and I went to Lai Chi Kok (荔枝角).  Unfortunately, it is closed on Sun.  Without much of a choice we had to shop at Argyle Centre (旺角中心).  Still, nothing beats shopping at the Hong Kong Industrial Market at Lai Chi Kok.

Believe it or not… this is the only photo that I took for Day 6.  Resting for a full battle ahead at Disney tomorrow.

HK 2012 – Day 5

Really Thank God for this day.  It seemed so hopeless last night when Dylan kept coughing and vomited his phlegm.  We were thinking perhaps we should just do some window shopping and rest in the hotel for Day 5.  Plus not to mention that weather forecast said it will be raining and low temperature expected.  Indeed all things work well for those who put their trust in Him.  Not only did the weather turn better, Dylan’s had totally recovered too!

What we waiting for?!  Ocean Park!  Here we come!!!

HK 2012 – Day 4

Help has finally arrived!  Mum and Sis have met up with all of us at our new HD hotel near Langham Place.  It was a great relief.  Today really feels like we are on holiday.  With these extra pairs of hands Cheng and I can really Eat, Drink and Shop.  Thus not so many pictures cos we are all BUSY…

HK 2012 – Day 3

It’s only day 3 and already Cheng & I can barely cope with the 2 caterpillars.  Just need to “tahan” for 1 more day before help arrives (mother and sisters joining us tomorrow).  There is complete freedom when you are just traveling with your spouse.  You can shop till late and wake up during noon to have breakfast & lunch together.  With kids it is totally different and most of the time troublesome!  Some how parents don’t mind to inconvenience ourselves and we gladly do it over and over again.

Day 3.  We took the boat from Central Piers to Noah’s Ark at Ma Wan.  My 2 cents…  If you really have nothing to do in HK, then you go there…  I think we among the 50 customers who visited the Ark today?  You can’t really take photo inside the exhibition, I “accidentally” took a few without flash even.  Quite frankly, I was disappointed.

We spent about 20mins in an education session teaching us how to make chocolate fridge magnets.  There were 180 degree & 4D movies etc.  But we didn’t stay for all cos like I said we were too disappointed and decided to make our way to the peak.

We finally reached our hotel and hit the bed at about 12am…  You can see how tired they were… Dylan grabbing Jennan’s leg as pillow.
