Barney at New Year

Chinese New Year was on the 29^th this year. I put on the silk jacket Sai Gugu bought me and did lots of party tricks with Great Uncle Frank and Grandpa.

Then Papa and SGG took me to see “Barney’s Magic Castle” today (Big bought the tickets). I really enjoyed myself and sat very still. I sang along to the songs I knew and hummed along with the tunes I didn’t know; I had such a good time. I cried at the end of the show as I didn’t want it to finish :-(. SGG said I was just like Papa.

Report card

Papa and Big came to my school assessment. They all agreed that I needed to get better at telling my family about my day at school, my likes and dislikes. My class teacher Miss Stella also agreed that I am very stubborn. I was given detention on the 23^rd - I got over-excited during Miss Carol’s lesson, climbed and then rolled off the table, knocking over a few of my classmates.

Double birthday

We celebrated Papa's birthday on the 18^th and Grandpa’s on the 22^nd. We had my favourite Happy-Birthday-To-You Cake - fresh fruit and fresh cream, and I helped blow out the candles :-).

Close shave

Grandpa and Grandma went to Bangkok for a few days' holiday. "Big" and Sai Gugu looked after me and took me to Penfold Park a couple of times, and we lunched at Shatin Jockey Club afterwards. It was fun to ride my big tricycle at the park.

As I was behaving very well, SGG thought it would be a good idea to cut my hair herself while the rest of the family was out. Unfortunately it was too much of a close shave and SGG was most upset. I told her “never mind” but she took me to see Uncle Frederic so he could tidy me up. “Uncle Frederic is a nice man” ;-)
