Kirsten's Birthday

Kirsten's Birthday party took place in Stanley beach, where we used to go swimming together this summer. I enjoyed a lot in the party and also relaxing for over an hour in the beach after the party.

Mid Autumn Festival

I got a big rabbit lantern from Grand Ma.  I will light it up coming Sat at the Mid Autumn Festival night.

Bounce

After sick for 5 days, I am recovered and back to my normal life.

This morning I went to Victoria play group. In the afternoon, I went to MyGym to exercise, as usual.

First few days in nursery

I like this vehicle. It purely powered by my hand.

Mom's Grand Father's Funeral

Tonight, I spent a few hours in 萬國殯儀館 to attend Mom's Grand Father's Funeral. He was 101 years old when he passed away 3 weeks ago.  This is the first funeral I have been to.  The monks reciting Buddhism scripts sounds like to me they are singing endless songs through out the hours.

Mom and Dad will go to the graveyard tomorrow morning to attend the burial ceremony, leaving me at home with auntie Fong.

Mom's birthday

Tomorrow is Mom's birthday. We have a family gathering dinner at Grand Mom's home tonight. This year, I can sing along with others the birthday song to Mom before cake cutting.

Alison

We invited Alison and her Mom and Dad to our home. After we have dinner, I requested to share my favourite Anpaman DVD with Alsion.
 

Dad found some old photo they toke with Alison in Japan before I was born.

Ark Garden

We have been to a Garden full of fake animal pairs today.  The theme of the park is try to scientifically reconstruct Noah’s Ark in a one-to-one scale according to the description in Old Testament.

I enjoy a lot in the Multimedia Exhibition located in the ground floor of the Ark.  The first attraction is the 180 ° Great Flood Theatre which is great visual and audio effect.  Even the floor is a shaky when they are showing the great thunder storm is coming. 

On our way to the next main attraction of 4D Theatre (actually showing 3D movie), I saw a various collection of Ark Models.  They also placed a lot of little animals/fishes/reptiles/incents as exhibition objects.  I personally like the gold fish street more as most of the creatures I saw in Ark I already seen them in gold fish street before. 

The most interesting exhibition object I like is a 2D computer animation projected on the floor located right before the 4D Theatre.  It is just a simple sequence of animation of a clock broken, repeated every minutes.  I may convey a very deep meaning of the inferior admiration of self destruction which I don’t understand at all.  The part I enjoy most is, with my own imagination, it seems I can interact with the animation and the broken of clock seems like is caused by my heavy step on the image projected on the floor.  I can’t stop playing with it for 10 minutes until Dad took me to the 4D Theatre. 

4D Theatre is another whole new experience for me.  I put on a pair of glasses with polarized filter on it.  The left and right eyes filter are differed by 45 degree of polarization axes.  This is the key equipment to trick my brain.  I am in the age that young enough to believe the 3D image I saw is real and reached out my hand to try to touch those objects in front of me.

It was an exciting trip.  After we have lunch in Tung Chung, I slept most of the time in the afternoon.  Even we later arrived Disney Hotel, I didn’t wake up at all while sitting in the lobby with the jazzy band in live.’

101 years old Grand Pa of my Mom

Mom’s grand Pa passed away this noon.  He and I differed a century in age.

Run Samantha, run!

I raced with Kirsten in Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.  You can see that we both have great fun.  This is a self-initiated competition without definition of win nor prize. The raw excitement of escaping and chasing itself is greatest reward we have got.

 

The event happened on our way to the Golden Bauhinia Square to see the flag lowering ceremony in a Sunday late afternoon.

Science Museum

Today we went to Element to have lunch with Dad’s friend Jacinta, Kelly and Uncle William.  Jacinta suggested Dad should balance the writting between my blog and Wilfred’s blog..

After lunch, we joined auntie Carrie and anutie Eva to go to Science Museum.  There is a dinosaur skeleton displaying in the Museum.  Mom led me to remember the association of skeleton and death but I don’t exactly grap the concept of death though.  Dad said I have to know the meaning of living first before I can understand death, while death itself define life.  Too difficult for me…

After few hours running around with Haley and Calista in the museum, we came back to Element to have dinner then went home.
