四眼仔

I noticed about my Jo2 has poor vision about a year ago. Finally, I took a 1/2 day off to the eye specialist for a eye test since my regular optimist was unable to take an accurate eye test

checking on him. They said he is too young to focus, and he moves a lot and cannot stay still for long.
The result:
Yes, he needs a spectacle to improve his vision. At first, I choose a spec with red color frame for him, but he said he prefer blue color one to match with his clothes. So, we decided to let him pick the color he likes since he has to wear it everyday from now onwards.

Back home, I teach him how to take care of his spec b4 he start to wear it in school.
On the first day @ school, teachers said he wore glasses all the time in the classroom. Back home, he told me that his 2 girlfriends said he looks “cute” wearing glasses. I think he looks very cute like “chicken little.”
A week later, I had a good laugh during the mid term parent-teacher meet when Linda (the principal) told me that Jo2 said he must take good care of his spec b’coz mommy said it’s very expensive one-leh.
So far, I am relieved that he can take care of his spec. It’s still in good condition after a month, and I hope that it will lasts until his next appointment with the eye specialist in Sept.

Hong Kong 5D4N – Day 3 & 4 & 5

21/06/09 Thursday

Plan changed as I woke up and was raining outside. We had Mc.D for our breakfast in the room, and headed to Harbour City Shopping Mall. We shopped for about 2 hours there, and had our lunch in the mall. We walked to Star Ferry Pier and took the ferry to Central. We went to The Peak, enjoyed the view of the city during sunset after we visited Madame Tussuad’s (Jo2 don’t like this place, he refused to take any photo).

But, papa2jojo took a lot of photos here.


We had our dinner @ Spaghetti 360 degree (no more wonton noodles or burgers, what a relief). Each of us bought a T/shirt from Hard Rock, The Peak as souvenir. We went for another round of the night view b4 we headed downhill by the peak tram.
What a day!

22/06/09 Friday

Shopping Day @ Causeway Bay during day time and Ladies Market @ nite. Had wonton noodles (again) @ 池记，and kids requested to have fastfood for dinner.

Inside the shopping mall.

23/06/09 Sat

Final call b4 back to Penang. We woke up earlier than @ 8:30 am b’coz papa2jojo said he wanted to go to Wong Tai Sin temple. I had “teng zhai” porridge for breakfast on our way back to hotel. Took a shower, check out and headed to HK Airport.
When the plane was about to depart, I asked my kids to say bye-bye to HK, but they said they like Hong Kong & hotel, they don’t want to go home.

The End!

Eaton Hotel – Hong Kong Disneyland

Morning call @ 8am, and they informed me that temp. outside is 24°C cloudy. Later, I decided to give it a green lights and woke the kids up @ 9:30am. We walked to Jordan Mass Transit Railway(MTR) station (about 3 mins walk from hotel), and kids enjoyed their first ride on MTR to Disneyland. Both of them so excited when they saw the arrival of “Mickey shuttle” at Sunny Bay Station – where the magical began.

Jo2:”mommy, I cannot open my eyes, too bright.”

got our entrance ticket in less than 2 mins (~11:19am). No Q at all.

Probably due to influenza A(H1N1) alert, it wasn’t crowded at all. We managed to cover adventure land, Fantasy land, and Tomorrow land by 7pm, no Q at all for all the rides and shows. We even went for 2 times for some of the rides. It wasn’t like all the feedback I got where this place very packed. In fact, I rarely see any local ppl.

this is the only spot we needed to Q up.

Right after the High School Musical show@ noon, we headed to a garden @ Fairyland and took photos with some of the Disney characters, Jo2 kept asking me where is Donald? what is Donald doing now? Why he didn’t come out to meet us? So, I told him that we took photo with Daisy already, it’s the same. His answer: “No, it’s not the same. I know they are from the duck family but Daisy is a girl and Donald is a boy.” So , I have to admit that he knows Disney better than I do.

aren’t they lovely?

I would said The Magical of Golden Mickey was the best show amongst followed by the Summer Fun parade @ 3:30pm. My biggest regret was to go for the space mountain ride, my heart really cannot take it.

We waited until 8pm for the fireworks, browse around the souvenir shop and 3 of us picked something to buy except papa2jojo. But, he still need to pay the bill!! HaHa

My kids spent their 2nd week school holiday in Hong Kong. We changed our initial plan to depart from Monday (8/6/09) to Tuesday (09/06/09) since there is an excursion by their school to Paya Terubong Fire Station & Mc.D on Monday.

9/06/09 Tuesday

Day 1 Pen – KL – HK

Our flight arrived in HK on time. Check-in to Eaton Hotel Hong Kong @ 3pm. Let the kids had their shower, rest and watch TV for a while b4 we start our walk to Tsim Sha Tsui Harbour. Yes, the kids managed to walk along Nathan Road to Victoria Harbour，and we had our dinner at 香港仔鱼蛋粉. We are not very particulars in terms of food, so for dining place we only opt for cleanliness with reasonable price. Lucky us to find this place where kids loved the food and papa2jojo liked their homemade chili paste to go with his bowl of rice with duck meat. We reached Victoria Harbour around 7pm, enjoyed our promenade along harbour b4 sunset till The Avenue of Stars 星光大道. We waliked into New World Centre while waiting for The Symphony of Lights to start幻彩詠香江 @ 8pm. Back to hotel right after the show and ended our first day in Hong kong with supper from Mc.D.
