[size=large]Happy New 2006 !!!

Gloria,

BB OK now after a change of LAN card.

I bought the following Engl books at 30% discount today :

Planet Dinosaur (orig $108, hardcover) (piglet is slightly interested in dinos after playing PC game Dino Attack on Lego.com)

It's funny where Ben's train takes him ($48, hardcover) (piglet said he saw this long time ago, and read several times already, just wanted to own)

Toad makes a road (Usborne, Easy words to read) ($38) (this is a phonics book, related to Goose on the Loose hardcover book which I bought from Swindon some time ago at nearly double the price)

There were a few Milly and Molly books on the shelf which I found quite good, but my son didn't want these. Perhaps because they're girls.

Yes, Swindon does have a v good collection of children's books, both in their Lock Road and Ocean Centre stores. But no discount (unless you have their card I think).
They are the "authorized seller" of textbooks for DGJS.

Re: 童書書友分享站(0-8歲童書分享)

Gloria,

$38 for Toad at Idxx, paperback, before 30% discount.

around $58 or $68 for Goose at Swindon, hardcover.

I haven't seen the other books in the series.
The books are vvv colourful, sharp and vivid, and the goose book was hilarious !! Which was why I :-( and bought the goose book despite the $$$.

Gloria,

Went to Idxx again today, to pick up what I bought yesterday. Didn't want the big pig to know I bought more more more.

There were 2 Toad books left. Did you make your reservations ? Ms Sq not around.
Correction : the series of books are phonics with a story.

[size=large]Stuart Little 2 at 9:30pm on Pearl tonight !!
Piglet has placed an order for this to be recorded, for viewing upon his return tomorrow. :mrgreen:

Re: 童書書友分享站(0-8歲童書分享)

bluestar,

at home on your own ? poor you!!

my piglet just slept and now free time to watch a Jackie Chan movie 'The Myth'.. Well, I would rather read those legal documents brought home. :mrgreen:

Went to New World Centre, lunched at TownGas Avenue, walked to Ocean Terminal, shopped at ItsImagical, bought 8 pieces of cut cakes at the bakery store just opp to CitySuper Page 1. Some books are on B1G1 sale. You can dig out your 'ail' book la.

Intended to have a little home-party with my son tonight. Then on 3 Jan celebration of his 33 mths-birthday.

May bring him to a short walk in the countryside or in a not too far away island tomorrow.

If you have suggestion, let me know pls. Is Sheung Yiu 上「瑤」easy to walk with a little boy?

Re ms sq. that means she's recovered la.

Re stuart 2, heee. not my cup of tea. I like Nemo much better.

btw, any good places for BBQ in the country?

Got a brochure on Towngas cooking course, see if I will join one..

Re IPA, may have to postpone as you know I need to settle down first.

Re: 童書書友分享站(0-8歲童書分享)

Gloria,

Yeah, at home for just over 24hrs w/o piglet. I saw them off at WongShekPier (where they took speedboat to ChekKing then start their walk) at about 1:15p, they arrived at destination by 2:20p when I was still on a bus not too far from SaiKung CityCentre going in direction of Kln.

Walk and BBQ and Sheung Yiu
- why don't you do all 3 in 1 : go to PakTamChung, BBQ site near gate, Sheung Yiu within walking distance, small walk around, can be along sidewalk leading into reservoir.
Go early on a Sat morning and return before 4pm.

I only went to Sheung Yiu once, that was about 16y ago. To me, nothing to see, some places quite spooky, esp inside the place. Not sure if kids will enjoy.

Or you can go where I half-went today :
Go take No. 96R bus at Diamond Hill MTR terminus, to Wong Shek Pier terminus. Then take ferry (gaai do) to Taap Mun. Pleasant walk in TaapMun. You can either bring your own food, or eat in a noodle shop on the street there (only 1 street).
Ferry = $15@ one-way. Not sure of schedule.
Or if you want to try the speedboat, take one for $20 per person one-way. But choose a big one, small ones seem quite dangreous, these usually wait for total of 6 ppl (excl kdis) to start off. Good experience if you like speedboats but not for me, I prefer the ferry. (My opinion : speedboat Ok for ChekKing becos shorter distance and much calmer waters, but not for TaapMun. But if you don't mind roller-coasters you can go by speedboat.)
Then you can check for the appropriate time for taking ferry back to Wong Shek Pier, then
- either take 96R bus back to Diamond Hill MTR terminus back to civiliztion,
- or have dinner at Sai Kung City Centre then take van / bus to Choi Hung MTR station or Diamond Hill MTR station.
(I assume that you take public transport instead of drive, because unless you have special entry permit you cannot get past the gate at PakTamChung.
OR you can take a taxi or van from Sai Kung city centre to Wong Shek Pier, these have special permits.)

Alternative route :
From Wong Shek Pier take the speedboat to Chek King Pier, then walk uphill to PakTakAu, there is a busstop at exit where you can take bus (No. 94 to Sai Kung city centre, or 96R to Diamond Hill MTR).
If you decide to go the other way round starting to walk from PakTamAu, you need to go to Chek King pier and wait for your luck in form of either a speedboat or the ferry to show up ==> back to Wong Shek Pier.

Another alternative route, Po Lin Temple :
Take some public transport to Tung Chung, then take a Lantau Is. bus to Po Lin Temple / Tien Taan Buddha. Eat there. Walk around a little in Po Lin Temple, but don't walk too far, unless you want to walk downhill to Tung Chung. (Remember to take warm clothes because the temp there is much lower than in city.) Then either
- take Lantau Is. bus down to Mui Wo ferry pier. Then either take the slow ferry or jetfoil from Mui Wo to Central.
- or take Lantau Is bus down to Tung Chung then take MTR back to Kln.

All these routes are vvv easy for kids, v convenient public transport. Can waste away 1 whole day.

You have time for TownGas cooking course but not IPA

Then need to wait till June. No hurry for me.

May go to Pg1 one of these 3 days. Tks for the notice.

Re: 童書書友分享站(0-8歲童書分享)

Gloria,

No, the Toad book was at the bottom shelf (to the left hand side when you are facing the books) of the book-rack for Engl books which is right below the counter. There were 5 diff titles of Usborne books there, I only wanted the Toad book. It hid behind another book today.

I didn't do it. You know the books are displayed with diff books being pulled out a little, but Toad was piled behind another Usborne book.

I did try to call you when I was in the shop this afternoon, but you know I hate to leave msg.

I prefer the old songs to new ones.

Piglet is less afraid of the speedboat than I am.
And big pig calls the owner up when bus starts off from Sai Kung city ctr, to reserve seats / time.
For coming back, he calls once he gets to ChekKing where his mobile resumes service. (Beyond ChekKing, few telecom providers can supply service. Remember the case of the missing policeman a few months earlier ? It is in that vicinity, I mean in the hills beyond ChekKing.)
But no worry, so long as you don't wander off the footpath into the bushes, there is no danger, lots of hikers / walkers / cows around, especially during the weekends.
The last time I went there (I mean from ChekKing right to TaiLongVillage) during SARS, there were more ppl walking / hiking there and walking around than in a shopping mall.

炸白蘿白餅
- what is this ? Never tried.

Re: 童書書友分享站(0-8歲童書分享)

Hi Gloria,

I also have the same idea too, since the weather was v nice today. Thinking to take the ferry to Discovery Bay for lunch and have a short walk around the island, then return home in late afternoon.

Bluestar's suggestions are good but my little girl can't take "speedboat", needs to wait for a few yrs. :-(

May bring him to a short walk in the countryside or in a not too far away island tomorrow.

Re: 童書書友分享站(0-8歲童書分享)

snoopyma,

Can always take the ferry to Taap Mun then, instead of the speedboat, although it is a crude type of ferry not like Star Ferry, treat it as an experience.
Taap Mun is a v relaxing place.
If you walk over to the other side of the island, the grass is v green, and kids can run around a bit on the grass. The scenery is

, the slope is not too steep.

Compared to the Taap Mun ferry, the DB ferry is sterilized !!!
