My December Holiday

We kicked off our extra long holiday with a trip to Hong Kong. I liked it very much. On the first three days, we spent our days at Hollywood Hotel. I liked it the best of all.

On the first day, we unpacked our things and went to swim with Nicholas and Ryan.

On the second day, we woke up bright and early and had breakfast with all the characters before going to Disneyland. We went on a lot of rides with daddy. Nicholas had to be persuaded and bluffed to get him on some exciting rides! Can you imagine?! He was even afraid to go on the Winnie the Pooh ride!!

On the third day, again, we went to Disneyland. In the evening, we took a cab out to Nathan Hotel. We had seafood dinner and ice shavings for dessert. Its delicious!
On the fourth day, we were supposed to go to Ocean Park but it rained and so we went shopping instead and bought some toys. Mummy bought me this 3D puzzle.

Me trying out the curry fishball..nice!

On day 5, we went to Stanley Market and finally the drizzle stop.

We had a good day at Ocean Park on the sixth day! We watched the sea-lion performance before daddy took jiejie and me to ride on all the thrill rides.

Mummy took my 2 brothers to the kiddy rides. When we got back to our hotel, mummy and all went for dinner while Jie Jie and I stayed at the hotel because she was not feeling well.

We spend our next 2 days at Macau. I enjoyed this trip as we got to visit many more places than the last time we were there.

During my holidays, besides going for the usual classes and doing assessments, we went for a few baking classes and a chess competition. It was a very tough competition and I won three rounds out of seven.

We also had our 1st church camp, a 3 days 2 night away from our warm bed. On the first two days, played some games and went to the beach to play games too. On the third day, we went for prize giving.

We had watched many movies this holidays too! They are Yogi Bear, Gulliver's Travels, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale, Sammy's Adventures: The Secret Passage and The Legend of the Guardian: The Owls Of Ga' Hoole and many more.


On weekend, daddy brought us to East Coast Park to cycle and In-line skate. Jie Jie learnt how to ride a bicycle while I became an expert in In-line skate.

I also had a chance to meet up with my kindergarten friends this holiday and we went ice skating together. Although it was only 2 hours, we had a lot of fun and chatted while we skate.

We had parties too! 3 parties in a row! On Christmas eve, we celebrated Christmas with our cousins, Daryl and Dylan. We had a lot of fun. I bought everyone presents with my pocket monies too. On Christmas day itself, we celebrated with our daddy's family. We also unwrapped our presents on that day.

On the day after Christmas, we had a cell group party. First, we sang songs. After that, we ate a yummy dinner and we played games. The uncle even make a pinata and everyone, even Nicholas, got to try to hit it too! After many rounds of trying, we finally got the sweets out. My house had never been so buzzing with noises and laughter. When all the guests had left, we did a bit of packing up for mummy and watched James And The Giant Peach on TV.

It really is the best holiday ever although it passed by so quickly it was like just one week!

My First Church Camp

The night before we packed our camping stuff, ready for our first 3 days 2 night away from our comfortable beds.

On Friday, we went for our first church camp.

Our bags...

It's both exciting and nervous. But a few rounds of Twister helped us eased our tension.
After a game of Twister, we did Praise and Worship. Then, we went to East Coast Park by bus. Once we reached there, we played some games like building the wall of Jericho. We had 20 minutes to build the wall. Then, we played other games. After that, we ate Western food at a nearby cafe before taking a stroll back to church to washed up. Back in our room, we played Monopoly Deal before we were told to sleep. I can hardly sleep from all the excitement and only slept at 2am.
Our "beds"

The next day, we woke up at 7am. After washing up and brushing my teeth, we did some exercise and ate our breakfast. Then, we did Praise and Worship and baked cupcakes in groups. After lunch, we each took a corner and think of our group cheer and practise our camp song. Then, we rehearsed our skit for the night to perform in front of our parents.

In the evening, our parents had a tour of the "place" before dinner.

Our buffet dinner...

After dinner with our parents, we had a short performance for our parents before they were politely asked to leave..hee...so we can start our night game - Treasure Hunt. When its bed time, most of my friends slept like a log but I did not sleep until 3am.

The next day, we washed up and had the same breakfast. We did some exercised and packed up our stuff before going for prize giving at the KFC (Kids For Christ) room. My team won first prize!
