Thank you for being so generous when I was a young girl. As I grew older, our meetings were less frequent but you would always smile so warmly and had short chats when we met. I'm not sure if you knew I bump into you late last year by chance, I did tell you who I was, I didn't know that would be my last chance to see you. But I'm so glad that despite the fact that I was in a rush I walked over and touched your hand, the same hand that touched me and sneaked sweets into my hands from your snack shop when I'm there (without ah-gou knowing 😂)
Now you can be with Daddy God, uncle.
In loving ❤️ memory
The whole reminiscing her cute young days album popped up in my memories page today.
Took two baby and did collage with recent photos that they re-create the photo for me. I know she took pic in the museum and building or was it a monument (her big big colour pencil?) in Washington DC, she told me. But I can't find any pic in my camera roll. Duh...
Last August where hubby brought her over and settled her down in accommodation and left 3-4 days before her final year academic term start. Didn't have to stay longer coz she's very independent and can't wait to shoo him away. And why would he want to spend money on hotels when he's already not needed when 该买的以经帮她买了？saucepan, pantry （we only worry about her meals 😂), pillow, blanket etc..
She must be excited to see Niagara Falls again tho she had no idea what she was looking at when she was 2t.
Wouldn't even know it's one of the 7 wonders of the world. I suspect that whole trip she only rmbr her Tumble Tots albums, coz we played that thruout the trip thinking that she might not settle down in the car and all the long drive. But she's really a good traveller, a good girl, very well behaved.
Oh! She remembers Uncle Richard’s cats.
Another one she took with the Statue of Ligerty. Not sure if it's permanent or just temporary, but she couldn't step on the grass to have the same spot taken. At least she's back again.

HELLO?! I said I forgot password and reset and you keep asking me for my old password. I leave blank for obvious reason and still can say it's invalid.
If I remembered my old password, will I want to reset it?
DUH!

They were little once ....
*added photos into the “Reminiscing the big girl when she wasn't big” album*
In Geneva when the temperature suddenly dropped so used the rain cover to block the wind. Here we can only see her 2 feet sticking out.
Thank goodness she was an easy child. (2003)
Jungfrau
Took a train to Freiburg (Germany) alone when hubby was working. Hee! All I needed to do was to look helpless and the guys there are so gracious helping me load the pram up/down the train.
On another day, to another part of Switzerland. Took a 25mins train ride out and then a bus to this interesting town.
A curious child looking out of the bus.
"Germany is behind us mummy!"
Very interesting archaeological finds - Rhine Baths.
She wouldn't know anything. I'd love to be back there with her again
That cute puppy-looking eyes, pouty lips and chubby cheeks
"Teacher I know the answer"
(2004)
I climbed Huangshan at 2 years old. What an accomplishment!
Why was she crying? Looking so sad.. got tears some more.
"What?! My shares dropped?"
In Zurich then to Basel and Shaffhausen, then to Vienna and Salzburg and finally to Munich (2005)
Mirabell Palace
Daddy carrying Athena infront of Statue of Athena
While the man head back home (or was it to another biz trip elsewhere?), mom n I continued our trip to London to meet up with some friends. I brought her around few other places I never brought her to before.
Here she is getting to know a pair of twins outside
Kensington Palace
In Tower of London with Tower Bridge in the background. Even the Crown Jewels 👑 here are not as prized as her smelly bear. 🤣
In Athena's Castle
Hiao hiao girl
"Why must there be war mummy?"
@ WWIl Memorial in Washington DC
I love Smithsonian Museum. Would love to be there with the family again
Someone is really happy. She gets to listen to kids music throughout our whole trip.
Niagara Falls.
"Mummy, big big waterfall."
Our ride on Canada side. Heehee!
Daddy teaching her the audio player buttons in the car.
Yup! It was 15 days to Halloween.
Feeling the mood
Mummy, where are we going? Is this my meeting gift for them?
"Hello Unker Richard Aunty Irene, I am the little terror Athena. Nice to meet you."
I can't open my car door! Where are my keys?
Strolling in Battery Park
The symbol of freedom and democracy
Happy and carefree child. Play n play after kindy.
Year end concert (2005)
"Santa gave me present last night mummy"
We celebrate every 25th of the month. Then when lil' one came along, we celebrate every 19th of the month.
So silly but anything as long as it makes them happy.
One of the innovative "cakes" - tissue prata - which was her favourite
Studio shot (2006)
Visiting mummy coz I think my lil' sister made her sick that she had to stay extra days in the hospital. But it's ok, I like the hospital. They always serve me biscuits and Milo when I am there. Here I am waiting for my snacks.
(Let me explain. It's more like she always come n visit me or when she visit lil' one when she was hospitalised at the right timing. Always the timing when they serve us snacks. So she must have thought hospitals serve guests drinks 😂.
She will sit herself at the table n pull
the cup towards her)
On mummy's birthday. And evlybordy this is my boring can't-play-with-me-yet sister.

Another lovely gift from tutor. Truly appreciate her kind thoughtful gesture.
Now must get a nice pot and find a place to put in the house 🤔
Her another tutor gave lil' one these cakes way in advance for her birthday. The old school cakes, I wonder if lil' one has seen them before?
So sweet of her and I find it really funny (or perhaps worried) that our fridge is loaded with too many bakes now. We still have 2 cookies from Aunty Wilma Cheng, chocolate cake from Aunty Nanette Zehnder, mooncakes from the bank, brownies from Youli Song. Hubby barely finished the bakes the school gave as care pack and I was happy that the fridge finally had some space.
I'll start to worry again in 2 weeks time when my compliant mooncakes arrives. And also when we get donuts as her birthday cake 😬 . More boxes again 🤦🏻♀️.
So no more bakes please, if anyone wants to send things to me (so thick skinned), please send a fridge over instead 🤣.
Nevertheless, thank you all for the love love 💕 . Our hearts and tummy are filled with your love.
She gets to eat her share 5 days later. But she took one bite and gave a funny look. It's that natural blue food colouring (not blue pea, dunno what it is) taste lah! Haiz! I gave up coaxing her to eat so ate it since I didn't get a chance to eat it.

So cute. Lil' one joining che-che and her friends in the room. All the teenagers n her....now I wonder how long they'll finish their project.
6th Sep 2015
They were trying to get the girls in. My lil' one went in herself. (and I didn't pack spare clothes)
Muahahahaha!
Finally! Athena is the second girl to be pushed in.
Waiting to surprise hubby/daddy …...but the lil' one can barely keep her eyes open
That was a Smurf-rific show!

Post party: kids were too tired they zonked out. See how that lil' girl held up her balloon while sleeping.
They saw these balloons for sale and asked for it.
Mei- mei and her monkey
