Bicycle

Papa took the stabiliser wheels off my bike last week. I finally got it when Papa helped me push off on my bike when we went to the park again today. I was able to ride for more than a hundred yards without help, and it was so much fun feeling the wind in my hair.

The park was in a bit of a mess because they were doing some building work. Although I fell down a few times and I wobbled a bit at first, I managed to stay upright towards the end. I was even able to turn to avoid an tree.

Papa was so impressed he said he would buy me a new bike soon.

Cabin fever

School's out. We've been off school since 12 June because of the swine flu. Fortunately, we still have swimming and Kids' Gallery until the end of June; we also have visitors - Mommy's friend Shao Hui and her children Romain and Lucie. We went to Ocean Park together.

After Romain and Lucie left, we had a play date with Marco at his house in Fotan on Tuesday. The next Tuesday, Mummy took us to Disneyland. We met up with Bendu, his brothers and his mummy.

A Bug's Life

Program with credit

Tonight, I made my acting debut at the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts. I was in a Kids' Gallery production of A Bug's Life, as part of Musical Drama.

I had a small part, playing a 'Lively Ladybug'. Mummy and Papa, Grandma and the Gugus were all there to see me.

Us Ladybugs danced and traipsed around on the stage, and  we also got to speak a few words. We all got to imitate our favourite animal. I said I was a snake, and writhed around on the stage, and the audience laughed.

Dragon boat day

It was a cold day, and it also rained hard. We took a slow bus to Stanley, where they were holding the International Dragon-boat Festival. When we arrived, we ran into Tyler and Lucas.

Then, we had our photo taken with a group which called itself the Nordic Vikings

6 years young

For my sixth birthday, I invited some friends from school, and a few relatives. My cousins Zach and Maya, Uncle Desmond, my Gugus and Grandma were there. So were Hugo and Danelle, two old friends from my Judo group.

Happy Birthday to me!

Grandma had ordered my birthday cake specially in the form of Lightning McQueen, and it was encrusted with soft fruit.
