I just couldn’t sleep the night before! Kept waking up every few hours with an anxiousness I couldn’t explain. Checking on him, then checking the time. Midnight, 2:10, 3:45, 4:50, 5:30 until finally I threw the covers off at 6 and got out of bed! I know my son is well prepared – both mentally… {Read More}
Hiking your way through CNY
At first I thought the sudden announcement about the early CNY holidays for kindergartens and Primary schools was a joke being forwarded around on a WhatsApp group, till it was actually announced by the school and I rushed to get our calendar from the kitchen to see what I had planned over the coming few… {Read More}
Our East Coast Road Trip
It started with my older son qualifying for a summer program in the United States! We were only too happy to let him have this wholistic independent experience in one of the residential centre campuses on the East coast. We chose Pennsylvania as the centre for this 3-week program due to its proximity to one of our close relatives. And what… {Read More}
3 days in New York
NEW YORK! The most exciting destination on our US itinerary for summer…for my boys especially as it was their first trip to the Big Apple City! We landed in New Jersey (Newark airport) midnight on Thursday after a direct 15 hour flight from Hong Kong flying over the Pacific. A great range of in-flight movies… {Read More}
Cebu with older kids
So here we are…at the very end of our Easter holiday…having had a great workout session at the gym this morning to awaken those sluggish muscles, followed by a sumptuous breakfast from the wonderful buffet spread, soaking in the warm service provided by the resort staff who seem to genuinely mean when they say a “Good Morning”… {Read More}
Trick Eye Museum Hong Kong – a review
I had received an invitation to visit Trick Eye Museum sometime in November last year but our weekends were so packed with the boys’ activities, my work-related bazaars, my husband’s rugby commitments, plus planning for a big upcoming family event, that we could never find the time or the energy to enjoy this little treat together. Turned out for the best though for… {Read More}
Ocean Park during Halloween
This must be my third post about Ocean Park and yet I am so excited to talk about it once again! I think the excitement flows from my kids to me and vice versa. First it was all about the park, the playground, the rides, the aquarium, now its about feeling all “grown-up,” meeting height restrictions for bigger, better… {Read More}
Mo Tat Wan – a peaceful paradise
A deserted beach in the heart of a bustling city? Too good to be true and yet this vast expanse of sand and sea lined with a canopy of green hills with no one but my son in sight is just what I am experiencing right now! A pleasant 25 minute ferry ride from Aberdeen brings… {Read More}
A visit to Noah’s Ark in Hong Kong
Incredible but true! The world’s only full size replica of Noah’s Ark, in our own city, in Hong Kong! Maybe it was too unbelievable, maybe it wasn’t marketed as well as the other attractions in Hong Kong or simply maybe because my boys have grown up too fast, which why might explain why we took so long… {Read More}
Holidays with older children
One of the best things about writing a blog is that you get to revisit your memories in great detail. My blog is 4 years old now and it’s so much fun to sit back and laugh through past posts, events, incidents. Whether it was about how inundated I felt managing housework, family, kids leaving no time… {Read More}
