A night out at Nick's

Turned out we spent a lovely evening at Nick's last night when Kit visited. She went through all the products with us and explained how they are used and where we should put it. Nick and Mercy love the Dinoops Magic pen which will read out the text and making all sorts of sound as you point it to the story book. We were all fascinating at how it works. Just buying the pen itself will be $1380 :/ (about 108 pounds!!) best not drop this pen! If Xiaobao decides to throw it to the floor, then that's that lol.

Kit suggested that I best start listening to the CDs and songs and DVDs, some CDs like the phonics ones, it works subconsciously; so even though I fall asleep, it'll still work...so Xiaobao will have babyplus AND the CDs to boost his brain :) anything to make our baby smart!

After the explanation, Kit left and I gave mom a quick call. Then we all head down to the 'new place' Nick suggested. That was already 10pm. Wonder if they'll still serve us. Turned out they did! It's a very nice Chinese restaurant, I looked at the menu, average price ranges from $70-$80, Nick said 'Let's just go this time' - so we went in. We saw this grand decor and everything , feels like we were eating in a hotel! The manager was very nice, talking to us and explaining and recommending dishes to us. He tried his best to accommodate us, making dishes (vegetarian) just for us. We ended up having 3 vegetarian dish (one is a kind of green vegetable, we call it the King's vegetable, next one is lily flower petal with asparagus, and also tofu), we also have a fish (for me, thanks Nick!), soup, rice noodle and fried rice (half portion each) and then the manager (named Paulus) gave us a fruit bowl on the house. Very nice of him indeed. We had papaya, dragon fruit and watermelon. All very nice!

After the food, we all left with a full stomach back to base. We took a lot of pictures with me standing up, sitting down, lying down, my tummy, my swollen feet. Everybody was in camera for at least 30 times lol. Eventually my body decided to tell me it's going to fall asleep, so I dozed off for a bit on the sofa. When Hubby next woke me up, we were ready to leave...Took a taxi home and it was already 1:30...Totally exhausted and went straight to bed til this morning...

This afternoon we will be going to Carnarvon Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, their learning center to attend a seminar on baby sign language. Stay tune with more updates :)
