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}
Chinese New Year Holiday – House arrest!
It’s that time of the day when I need to talk, share my fears, voice my emotions and just be heard. That’s exactly when I switch on my laptop and start writing a post. My blog doesn’t judge, doesn’t voice it’s opinion, it just lets my thoughts flow as my fingers effortlessly type away. Well its been quite a… {Read More}
My son is a priest!
I wrote these lines sitting at home, waiting for my 11-year old son to return from his 24-day stay at the fire temple, where he was a part of various rituals and ceremonies conducted in order to gain the honour of becoming a Zoroastrian priest – just like his father. This ceremony is called ‘Navar’ and… {Read More}
Road trip through the Rockies
“Oh my God, just look at that!” I exclaimed out loud just as we approached the little cottage where we were meant to stay for 3-nights in Jasper, Alberta. We were tired, hungry and exhausted after our 13 hour road journey from Vancouver to Jasper, but one look at the beautiful cottage and all our… {Read More}
Guinea is a guinea pig – the perfect pet!
Guinea the grazing pig “It’s a guinea pig,” was the answer to the frown on my face as I stood next to a cage closely observing the resident specimen. “Ah a guinea pig,” I automatically responded as if I knew inside out of this species. Honestly although I knew of guinea pigs I didn’t know… {Read More}
