Felicia was scratching her head that day. She saw our super tiny apartment and asked me where she could put up a Christmas Tree. Since Shanghai days, Felicia has been taking care of all our Christmas decos at home (See snapshots below). This year, my very creative wife painted us a 2D Christmas Tree with 3D snow balls and ornaments. The tree was just right above the shoe-cabinet by the main door with all the presents stacked underneath it. What a clever usage of space! And a big thank you to Kalinda – you never fail to surprise us with your beautiful Christmas gifts. Let’s celebrate a white Christmas together in 2 weeks’ time! See you soon!

Meet my 2 very colorful and lovely “family” from Shanghai – Little Francis “Grey” and Little Echo “Violet” (my 133rd Hong Kong visitor). I couldn’t recognised these 2 kids! When I left Shanghai in 2008, Violet was just a month old. Just like her mum and granny, Violet possesses strong characters and good genes. She is curious, cheerful, sweet and spicy. What a charming 3-year-old girl! She speaks fluent Mandarin – much better than Elkan and her brother. Grey on the other hand, is an amazing replica of Francis! His eyes, his moves and his personalities are just like his daddy – strong, daring and independent. The kids had a great time together (terrorizing the adults with their loud noise and limitless hyper-energy!).

Meet my 131st Hong Kong Visitor, Fiona Shen. She is exceptional! (She is one of the few Singaporeans who worked at Apple HQ in Cupertino, California! No, she won’t tell me anything about iPad3 or iPhone 5!) We have known each other for 25 years. She is one of my closest primary school girlfriends. And she holds the record for being my first…. (It is not something that I am proud of… but it is something which I can never erase from my mind.) Trust me, it was pretty physically and mentally intense.
Well, meet the girl who gave me my first slap. I was only 12 when I lost my virgin “slap” to her. It happened at her house, in front of all her guests during her 12th birthday party. I accurately accidentally shot her eyes with a rubber band just minutes before she was about to cut her birthday cake. It musta hurt like hell, if not, she won’t gave me a “love mark” that lasted this long. It was a terrible attack. She walked over, gave me a big slap on my left cheek and ran to her room (shut the door). Her guests and parents kicked me out of the house. Ouch! It all happened within 5 minutes and when I left her house, I have no idea what hit me.
Well, we still joke about that incident at every Primary school gatherings. And thanks goodness, I didn’t develop phobia for woman. I just hate rubber bands and birthday cakes since that day. (That reminds me why I have never got any more birthday invitation from Fiona since…).

My prankster is back! Together with his favorite accomplice, Harshad, they went terrorizing the streets of Hong Kong. While Felicia, Tracy and I were doing our grocery shopping, Elkan and Harshad did a short “Black Street Boys” at the Central Market at Soho this morning.
