Kv has just finished the Lego Fireboat tonight.

This set brings him hours of fun ... $199 is really good price! Highly recommended!

No more since afternoon of the 2nd day la.
I went on Fri night and met up with LSW, and I bought several boxes of cheaper items. Her family showed up, and her hubbu seemed to enjoy it more.
Took piglet there again Sat night (cos we were in Whampoa area anyway), bought 1 box of $45 which I thought he had already but he claimed he doesn't have that one.

No more airport on Sat night.

Bionicles : $100 / 3 on Saturday, total 6 different sets available.

Mostly Duplo left, and the small City sets. A few big sets like King's Castle Siege and Skeleton castle, Technics Tow Truck and Cherry Picker.

If there was Ferris Wheel on Sat night, I would have bought one for myself. (cos after chasing after piglet to practise for piano exam and 2 more days of term test I felt like rewarding myself).

OH, no more Ferris wheel and airport at Sat PM?? Bioicle sold $100 for 3pcs. i better buy the left then. My son said that he had the same colour but he found out that this is not the same series. He only bought 3 sets at last Friday.

Fire boat, this is the item i want to buy, but it is out of stock at the 2nd night la. A pity. found that it is worth and interesting.

total we bought 16pcs include all the big and small sets.

My honey said he will play together with my son bor.

plan to go on the last day. (is it next Tuesday?)

Kitty,

you can buy the Technic set wo, this can add together with the mindstorm set, if you play the mindstorm for more advance level, you will find that there are not enought bricks and you need to buy the brick sets seperately, but this time the technic set is worth to buy as it is include some motor etc. (refer to my honey)

LSW,

I took blue*'s advice and bought the cherry picker la.

She is really an expert on Lego

.... actually I did not intend to buy this set, but she said it can combine with the mindstorm set and play together, so I bought one finally.

Kv brought the Fire Boat to play at the swimming pool with his cousin yesterday.

The Fire Boat can really float and move (though a bit slow)! It's so fun!

RMM,

I think piglet may have perfect pitch.

We went to Whampoa last Sat cos we booked the piano exam room, and since we were early, we just went around and took a look at the pianos sold there.
There were some Toyama, and some K6 and K8 Kawai.
Then I told piglet to practise on the pianos there and he played a scale and 1-2 pieces.
Then played several painos for a while.

Somehow, I played 1 note and asked piglet what it was - he got it right.
I asked him how he knew, he said it was "so", ==> = G.
Then I played several more - he got them correct too.
Then I played on a black note - he couldn't recognize this one.

Yesterday I told the paino teacher, and after the lesson she tested him on several notes as well, he got them right.
But wrong again on a black note.

I explained a bit to piglet last night, and he was very pleased that he had some "special powers" that his classmates who said he was stupid did not have, and was more willing to practise for the paino exam.

See what we can do from here.

BS,

great ! some children are gifted to have the perfect or absolute pitch. Some have it because they had the chance to start to hear the notes frequently when they were young. Rachel got 100% right on the white key and not too sure on the black key yet.

It's an advantage for the aural test, so ask Piglet to work harder on the scales and exams pieces and will have a good chance to have Distinction.

Next step, try to test Piglet if he will know the songs belongs to ? major or ? minor. (Just any music video available at TV or radio channel will do)

Carly,

I was on leave today, so did not log in and didn't see your post.

Yes the Castle advent calendar is much more interesting than the City one and is on the wish list of a lot of Lego fans. 12.99 pounds sterling in UK, not available in USA.

It is so much more to buy it in HK! Well, considering there're quite a lot of mini-figures, which may cost $50 each if you buy them individually, this calendar set is actually quite worth to buy

VeggieTales - The Bumblyburg Superhero (4 disc set)

99.9% new, just $160, average $40 per DVD

Number of discs: 4
Run Time: 210 minutes

Product Description:
Larry-Boy doesn't have the powers of most superheroes; in fact, his main sources of might are his suction-cup ears and an overeducated butler. Yet in this installment of VeggieTales, Larry-Boy's real skill is in teaching us that "God doesn't want us to tell stories that can hurt." In the lively series that has "Sunday morning values, and Saturday morning fun," a group of vegetables provides moral lessons for everyday life. Strong on Christian themes and light on seriousness, VeggieTales has enough humor for adults to appreciate and enough fun for the kids. The impressive computer animation and appealing story lines to make this series a valuable resource for teaching kids right from wrong.

Disc 1 - Larry Boy and the Fib from outer space (US$14.95)

"The name's Fibrilious Minimus! But you can call me Fib!" A little fib turns into a big problem for Junior Asparagus! With dad's favorite bowling plate in pieces, Junior is sure to be punished ... until a strange visitor advises him to cover his tracks with a little white lie. Dad buys the story, but Junior notices his new friend seems a little bigger now and a lot less cute! Lies have a way of growing -- and it isn't long before Junior's "little fib" has grown into a 30-foot-tall monster, threatening to devour all of Bumblyburg! There's only one person to call in a crisis like this ... Bumblyburg's own superhero, Larry-Boy! But can anyone stop the Fib from Outer Space?!? Kids will have fun as they learn that "a lie can trap you, but the truth will set you free!"

Disc 2 - Larry Boy and the Rumor Weed (US$14.95)

Any rumors caught your ear lately? Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learn just how easily rumors get started when they accidently launch a whopper about Larry-Boy's butler, Alfred! Before they know it, their little story is spreading all over Bumblyburg like a weed! Can Larry-Boy stop the rumor before Alfred gets hurt? Can anyone stop the rumor before Larry-Boy gets hurt?!? In the end, the kids learn that God doesn't want us to tell stories that can hurt. He wants us to spread nice words! Don't miss the action in ... Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed!

Disc 3 - Dave and the Giant Pickle (US$12.95)

Have you ever felt too small to do a really big job? That's what a little shepherd boy named Dave feels when his big brothers head off to defend their country, leaving Dave behind with the sheep. "Big people do big things, and little people do little things,"they tell him. They're in for a surprise, however, when they find out their foe is much bigger than they thought! This telling of the classic biblical story of David and Goliath teaches kids that "with God, all things are possible." It makes no difference whether you're 9-feet tall or 2-feet tall -- with God's help, even little guys can do big things!

Disc 4 - Larry Boy The Cartoon Adventure
Contains all 4 30-minute episodes of Larry-Boy's cartoon adventures!
