Where's Grandpa?

I have been asking everyone “where’s Grandpa?”

Grandma, Big, SGG and Papa tell me that Grandpa has gone far away. Papa told me that Grandpa was very sick and “all the King’s horses and all the King’s men, couldn’t put Grandpa together again” :-(.

Today, we went to Sai Kung with Uncle Joe and Auntie Christine and took a boat out to give Grandpa a send-off. It had been raining all weekend, and it rained while the boat motored to the special spot Grandma had chosen. The rain then stopped and we threw roses and rose petals in the water for Grandpa. Afterwards we had lunch at a restaurant next to the pier and saw Marvin and his family. What a coincidence!

Excuse me!

I am talking more than ever and, according to the grown-ups, coming up with lots of cute phrases. I used to shout “No listen” when I wanted everyone to be quiet, now I say “Excuse me, no listen, I want to talk”. Grandma and SGG are teaching me to say my address in both English and Cantonese - they are afraid I might get lost one day!

SGG tried to take me to Penfold Park today, but found that it was closed due to avian flu (whatever that might be). So we went to Beas River Country Club instead where I had fun riding on my tricycle and playing with Pun. We then stopped off at Auntie May’s to pick up “something nice”, which turned out to be a very tasty apple strudel :-p . Auntie May was really chuffed that I called her name without being prompted. SGG said I was a very good boy.
