Every Little Helps

Right now Xiaobao is listening to his favourite YBCR CD, it's been awhile since he last listened. Let's see if he'll move more for his kungfu video sequel;)

Daddy has put up a donation page on our blog, things are getting expensive now isn't it? We'll send the link to family and friends. Hopefully we'll get some donations for Xiaobao, as Tesco says 'Every little helps'! Anything you guys contribute will be greatly appreciated!

Let's see what we're gonna have for dinner tonight. As of now, we aren't really hungry as such. But I thought of making eggplant with spam, winter melon and seaweed soup, I might actually put the rice noodle in the soup. Depends on what Hon fancies for dinner, rice or noodles... We are running out of instant noodles...

We haven't started moving stuff around in the flat. Need to clear out a space to put Xiaobao's cot. I have a lot of books, looks like I have to throw them all away :( I don't want to 'cause they are all my literature novels and books I collected all these years, but doesn't look like I have many choice in this small flat...Xiaobao's stuff will get more and more, no time to do it then when he arrives. The earliest we clear out the space, the better...But of course I can't do it myself, too much lifting and moving heavy stuff around from the ceiling. Yes we've kinda stack stuff upwards these years...the only way to store in a small flat eh...so for that, I can direct and Hon will have to move the stuff, though we have to wait for whenever he can...

I was planning to let this elder woman to take my books and papers away, since she can sell it to others and get some money for herself. I thought since we are throwing it away anyway, might as well be of some use to her. It's not worth the hassle for us though, we are talking about several kg of paper and get a few dollars. But that's how some of the old people earn their living here. When mom's here, she used to keep cardboard box paper for this old lady and mom will call her from time to time to come and collect.

However I haven't seen this old lady for awhile now. She used to come and visit me, see how I am doing after mom's back to China...not sure where she lives. I only know she's on the same floor as us but no chance can we guess which room she's in...There are many here....:/ unluckily I couldn't find her home no. either :(

Apart from moving stuff around the flat trying to squeeze out as much space as possible. On the other hand, we are reading up procedures about legal matters, how to apply documents for when he arrives. We need to get his birth certificate, British passport, Return-Home Permit, etc. Looks like all these require different process and we don't know how long each one will take... the more we know, the better we can prepare. Anyway a lot will be going on this November, that's for sure! Thank god mom will be here to help me, or else I don't know how we'll be able to do all that by ourselves!

Half six already! I might go and prepare dinner soon actually...
