Homemade

Since Mummy likes to cook, she offered that we cook something together when I was younger but I didn't like to cook.  Now that I am older, and that making cookies was so much fun, I now like to try to make something for everyone. It makes me happy that everyone is happy!

This time we made spinach and cheese puffs for lunch
 Mika was supposed to help putting the fillings on the pastry but she just kept eating the fillings instead!
 Folding the pastry
 Egging the top
 I made this all by myself! And it was sooooo yummy! I want to make this everyday!
 And then we made playdough. Mummy cooked the dough and I coloured them
 Ta Da! We played with it straight away! Daddy made 'spaghetti bolognese' with the pink and yellow playdough. It looked delicious!
 This time we made pizza for dinner. Mummy and I made the dough together and it was so sticky! I didn't like that part but I enjoyed putting toppings on it! Mika helped topping it too!
 But not for long as she again was eating the toppings more than putting them on the pizza
 And it was yummy of cos!!

Happy Moon Vegetable (Festival)

It was Mid-Autumn or Moon Festival last Monday and this year we have angry bird lantern and again the bunny lantern. it seems like we will see the bunny every year (Mummy's addiction).

Playing lanterns in my room

 My school invited our parents to join us for this celebration, I was so happy to have Mummy there. Here we are having a taste of the moon cake, I like it a lot! 
 My K2F class, but starting next week I will change to E class. I will miss Natalie a lot. She's my best friend in the class
 At home celebrating with Sky, Kiva and Jaden


Happy Moon Vegetable everyone!

Fun things

Last week was another enjoyable week. We did cookie making with Siena and Clara but since the dough took a while to firm up in the fridge so we didn't get to cut the cookies out together. So we cut out our cookies after our dinner and we had so much fun!

Mummy helped us to roll out the dough
 and Mika tried to do it herself
 cutting out shapes
 all done and into the oven! 
 this peanut butter cookie is yummy!


Then we were treated to go to The Wiggles concert!!! Mika was so happy while I found it 'a little bit boring'.


I hi-5ed with Murray... but Mummy's camera was too slow to capture it :(
 Mika is too short so I lifted her up a few times to give her a better view
 Up close with Captain Feathersword
 Murray was just right there but Mika had a stronger interest in my chocolate konana (koala) biscuit
I think the best part is the tail that I got
 It's not complete without Mika's headband, and so I snatched it from her...
 ..and run so Mika can't take it back!

New school year

Mika and I have started our new school year, where I am now a big K2 girl and Mika has started her Montessori playgroup which we call it 'school'. 

Mummy wishes me a lucky new school year with Lai See and Fai Chuen wrapping shallot (symbolises 'clever'). I started school on 1 September
 Mika quickly unwrapped her Lai See. She started school on 2 September

Before school started the schools required Mummy to provide them with our passport photos, so Mummy went on the challenges to take some photos for us.


Challenge No.1 - Mika. These are just a few from the many she took, and none was selected

Challenge No. 2- Me
 
So Mummy got so fad up and selected these for us at the end......

New experiences


Before we went to Australia Mummy has arranged this special event for us- selling flags for Caritas. Mummy wanted me to know more about the society and that since I am so fortunate I should help those in need. Mika was there too and so my job was to approach people and ask them to buy the flags and Mika's job was to give them the stickers. I did my part really well, I approached people cheerfully despite the fact I was given dirty looks by some and I spoke Chinese to those with black hair and English to those with other colour hair, but Mika kept decorating herself with stickers so I end up doing her job too.

Getting ready outside our building
Me in action, by myself
After 45 mins I called it finish and we returned it to HSBC. Think I helped raise $300-$400! I felt really good about it and I want to do it again!

Last Sunday when we caught a ferry to TST we were happy to find an organic market at the pier! So Mummy bought some organic vegetables where it came with an insect that didn't move at all whole of Sunday.
Hello? What are you? Can you move?
Next morning it came a ladybug! It was actually a cocoon that we saw yesterday! It was 2 times bigger than its cocoon size. See, the cocoon is still there on the leaf!
By the end of the day the black spots have developed
We love looking at it all the time! But sadly it only stayed with us for 5 days.. it drowned ... think Mummy felt the saddest out of all of us.. So we will go back to the market again and buy some more ladybugs next week.
