Graduation

This human swine flu is still around, there has still been no school since June, and our official graduation has been cancelled. Instead, Audrey's mum invited a whole group of us to their home in Sai Kung for a Graduation Party today.

Audrey has a big house, enough space for everyone. There were nearly twenty children there, ten classmates, and ten siblings. Gary the magician was there - he was very funny today, playing lots of magic tricks and jokes, and getting us playing party games.

Ms Li (黎老師), Ms Qiu (邱老師) and Ms Gui (桂老師) were also invited. Everybody brought some food and drink. Mummy made a chocolate cake, and Papa brought some wine; Li laoshi brought a special K3A graduation cake for the celebration. There was so much food that Duncan and I began helping ourselves before everyone else.

We had lots of fun because there were so many toys, we didn't want to leave.

Justin's birthday

This week, I had lunch with Ivan, unfortunately, his brother Terence couldn't be there. I also attended my good friend Justin's birthday party on Sunday afternoon. It was a pizza party - Duncan and I each made a big pizza. I put lots of tomato cheese and ham topping on my pizza. I ate two slices, and I offered Papa a piece. I ate the rest of it for supper.

Since school broke up for the summer, mummy has enrolled me in several classes in the clubhouse at home. I have been attending a magic class, and a class where I learn to use an abacus. I don't enjoy the magic class, but I can count to nine on the abacus. Duncan and I also have two swimming lessons a week downstairs at home. Because he is a beginner, we swim at different times.
