Calamity

Hibou is gone. I am very sad, because I love him. He's not actually an hibou ("owl" in French). Since I was very little, Papa has always sung the "Hibou-Cuckoo song" to me, using my toy giraffe as a prop, so I have always called him 'Hibou'.

On my way to Kids' Gallery this morning, I put him in the seat next to me, and forgot him when we got off the bus. I was thinking about him all through the class. I cried so much after losing him, and Lorielyn bought me two cars and a soft hippo to make me feel better. I sometimes want to take my friends when going out. Today Doggie and Mr Tiger went out with me out in my bag. I now wish I kept Hibou in my bag.

Papa said he put out an APB on Hibou - he phoned up the bus company many times, but nobody had handed him in. Papa said he hoped I learned my lesson. Goodbye Hibou :.....-0

Midnight visit to hospital

Duncan was ill since school started last week, and this week, I have been at home indoors for 4 days. I didn't go out once.

My two upper front teeth are getting very wobbly. With my two teeth sticking out, Duncan says I look like Mater.

On Tuesday, I lost my upper right front tooth. I woke up a few hours later and told Papa my ear hurt. Luckily, we live next door to a hospital, and Mummy and Papa took me to the Emergency immediately. The doctor saw to me and I was back in bed one hour later. Doctor said I had an middle-ear infection, and that I should stay at home and rest. I am not allowed to go swimming for two whole weeks.

Back to school today

I started the new school year today. I am in K3A; I have the same teachers and the same classroom. It was good to see my friends again. I also have some class-mates who I don't know - they just joined. Miss Elisa was very busy looking after the new class-mates' parents. Duncan was due to start at the same school today too, but he had a fever and had to stay at home.

After school, I had a swimming lesson with coach Lok.

Visit to Uncle Roger

Mummy and Papa took me and Duncan to see Uncle Roger today - he's not really my uncle, though. He's grandpa's friend, and a dentist.

I told him about my new teeth, and showed him my wobbly front tooth. He said were no problems with my teeth. :-), but was a bit worried because I had big gaps - he thought there may be some missing. So he took an X-ray just to be sure. Papa says is the only way you can see through bone. I need to see him again in 9 months.

It's still the school holidays, but Duncan has already started classes in the afternoon. Mummy and I took him to school.

Concert

For my cultural education, Sai Gugu took me to a classical music concert today which featured McDull. It was a lot of fun, and I now know what a 'conductor' is. I especially enjoyed being back stage and meeting McDull and Musical Director Yip Wing-sie afterwards. I took this picture of him, from behind... hehehe - I did ask him first, though.

Is this what "back stage" means? ;-)
