:lol

Even piglet, who HATES going to school,
said he wanted to go back to school
cos he is toooo bored at home.
(bored becos no PC games,
only TV, VCDs, suppl exercises.
I put lots of books on the table and he doesn't even see them !!)

We went to Sino Centre (MKK) yesterday and bought 1 set of Lego police car $69 (#7236)
and lots of Lego accessories (prizes for doing something, equiv to GN4's stamps system).

BS & KL,
Do u know when Cite's discount is finished? I like to go take a look too. Thx

Just read your last messages about the kids. I was about to ask how you all keep your kids occupied w/o school! Mine have been so laid back. They don't even want to practise piano! I can't imagine what they will be like after this loooooooooong vacation. So far the community centres which we enrol our kids to some activities have not called us to cancel their classes in July. But my best guess is they will cancel.... if Edu Bureau suspends all schools incl. secondary. Anyone plans to go out of HK for vacation?

junjunma,
Congratulations for finding a new job so quickly. Just now a headhunter called but when asked in more details, she does not have any openings in the front line for banking sector! Looks like the employment market has not improved yet!

JSM,

I've no idea on when will the sale end. Pls call Cite at 2877-8606 to check.

KL,
Thanks on Cite. I have become a full time mum since mid April :) cos my sector has been hit the hardest!

My kids are happy that I am home :( We went to AMC & Disneyland last week. There were not too many people. Since my kids' friends' mummies are also looking for activities to keep their kids occupied, so we try to get them together every week. As for supp. exercise, they haven't touched any!

I asked my son to build a lego city with all his possessions - but the catch is in his room only. In the end, he didn't have enough space to accommodate all legos - I hope he comes to realize he has far too many & will keep his wish list down!

My husband is in biz trip to the US. He said hardly anyone wears mask, even on the plane. I hope he won't bring the swine flu back orelse no children will play with my kids!

JsMami,

Cite's 30% discount applies only to books published by 東方 and 遠流.
Apparently perpetual until further notice.
And usually BkFair discounts are around 20% to 25% off, so Cite's 30% off is already quite good (best is their 35% off, once a year it seems).

Piglet is forced (by me of course) to practise the piano daily (but only twice per piece which is my min tolerance). Plus 1 Maths ex and 1 Sc ex, which he usually tries to skip. And he still has PTH lessons once a week so a little bit of Chin ex.
That's all. So he has lots of time for TV and Lego.
And I asked him to finish the set of VCDs on 成語動話廊, but instead of watching it during daytime, he would wait till around 9pm when I force him to go near the piano. And whenever I'm at home he tries to persuade me into logging in so that he can play games / search for his Lego possibilities.

He can, but doesn't, read his Horrible books, and the Chin books from Story Ferris Wheel.
All he wants to read are the Hei Yeung Yeung comics - he likes them and they're vvv easy, see.

Travel books in Cite also on discount, but not sure about the rate cos I'm not interested in the books.

I plan to go to Sing again, around 20 Aug for 1 week. Will go no matter swine flu or no swine flu. This flu is contageous but not that killing and can still be controlled by drugs. Better than SARS when it was unknown and the drugs were on trial and had bad consequences.

If buddies need to buy any Lego from Sing, pls let me know before 13 Aug.

Hi JSM, junjunma,

Yeah, the impact of fin tsunami is huge!! But, it is a good opportunity to spend some more time with the family and the kids.

In fact, I had been jobless for a while. That's why I started a new job lately. Anyways, it's hard to find such a good opportunity when I could accompany my daughter for so many of her Music Festival events, witness her getting prizes, support her school projects, play bidding in ebay, work out daily... Such are memorable experiences...

KL,

Go to the website and see if there's anything you want la. Not really big sale items. The things I like tend to be out of stock already, e.g. Star Wars magnets.

GN4, BS & KL,
I enjoy spending time with my kids during the swine flu too. Now I may have time to attend to things I put away while I was at work. My big project is to organize my travel journal - a memory I want to leave with my kids when they grow up :)

KL,
Do I plan to get back to work? I spent 1.5months after I left my employer preparing to launch a biz, subject to licence from regulator. Now I can't do anything but wait. Many excolleagues urge me to press the regulator. But I'd rather take it easy & play with my kids!!!

BS,
I found 成语动画廊 http://www.verycd.com/topics/306641/ available in cantonese & mandarin. You may download here if u have not got the whole collection in CD.
