Bub and I were invited on a junk trip. We’ve been a few of these before. The first one ever with the kids was a few years ago. Both Bub and Monster ended up sick. Since then, Bub has successfully attended another junk, but he’s not big on the swimming […]
This is the first time that we actually went out for the Mid-Autumn Festival (Lunar Festival) in a long time. I think we went the first couple of years we were here. Then everything happened, and I sort of stopped. I couldn’t pretend we were a happy family and do […]
This isn’t a new hike to me or probably this blog. There is this hike that goes from Ma On Shan to Sai Kung. It’s an easy hike really. I think the worst part of this time was coming down the mountain down the stairs. That was painful the next […]
K11 has a gallery. B wanted to take the kids to see this particular exhibit. It was on memes. I don’t know much about them, but the kids seem to love them and B is into them and seems to understand them. It was a long line to get there. […]

My friend, C whom I work with was house/cat sitting in Sai Kung and invited me to a vegan BBQ on the rooftop of the village house. I’m not vegan, but I’m not opposed to it. We were all meant to bring something, so I baked vegan scones. I honestly […]
Work friends needed a fourth to attend a lesson to learn mahjong. It sounded like fun. It’s this guy who gives lessons into Hong Kong style mahjong. From what he was saying, there are many different versions of the game depending on region. There are even different tile sets. We […]
The fluff’s hair was getting out of hand. She was so shaggy and her ears were getting matted. I decided to go out and get shears from a pet shop at the next train stop. I figured if I had the shears, I would be able to handle Fluff’s hair […]
