outdoor movie

We sat in a red sofa on a rooftop in the middle of HK surrounded by high buildings last night whilst watching Point Break.
Fabulous!

easter

The Easter holidays allowed us to get relaxing beach time as well as catch up with old friends (host parents) time.
The sun was shining most of the time and we have had yummy desserts every day!
You can't have a much better Easter than that :)

an other view

From a big city to a completely different view.
It is time for Easter holidays on the beach!
Under a swaying tropical tree with a sweeping view of the South China Sea is where I will be eating breakfast, lunch and dinner during tow days time.
I'm not going alone, am of course taking both Teddy and Ant but also Marta. Our 'front yard' will be one of Hong Kong's longest beaches and our agenda will be pretty empty... Relaxing times in the sun, hikes and good food - that is about it.

Happy Easter everyone!

a shanghai weekend

I heart Shanghai.
Spent a beautiful weekend there with Ant.
Friday night was devoted to dinner and massage.
Saturday was spent on the Bund.
We walked the Bund, we felt Shanghai chic on the Bund and did cocktails, afternoon tea on the Bund as well as listened to an afternoon poetry reading on the Bund, we did a headstand on the Bund.
We walked in old parts of the city, we walked through bustling markets.
And on Sunday we chilled and shopped in the charming old French quarters of the city.

shanghai weekend

Finishing off a busy week with the boss in town with a business trip to Shanghai.
Boss going back home to Singapore though, so only me going.
After the meeting I am planning on relaxing... And sightseeing (Ant is arriving a few hours after me in Shanghai and it will be his first time there).
Have a good weekend all - I'm planning on having one.

de-sex

After a fun weekend of playing with his good mate Walls and digging in the sand on the beach the D day was suddenly upon Teddy.
The day when his daddy refused to take him to the vet because he said he would not be able to look him in the eyes, the day when Teddy no longer would get a chance to become a real man.
My little boy got de-sexed yesterday, and today he looks like this:

He is not a big fan of his cone, he keeps banging into things the whole time, but I think he is dealing with it pretty good anyway.

early mornings in hk

This week I have had to crawl out of bed earlier than usual.
Ant is away, which means that the morning walk with Teddy has become mine as well.

Now I am definitely not a morning person, although I desperately wish I was, but I have quite enjoyed my mornings since I through them have gotten to know a new part of HK.
The new part I am now familiar with is the part were HK wakes up, stretches the arms above its head and wipes the sleep out of its eyes. The streets are still quiet, the old locals are out warnming up with some Qigong whilst the sun starts to warm up all the concrete houses and tarmac roads this city consists of.

I like this new part of HK that I have discovered. But I unfortunately think I love my bed more... Good thing Ant is back tomorrow!

women are angels

Women are Angels.
And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly…... on a broomstick. We are flexible like that.

i heart hk party

We got invited to a party.
A party where you had to dress up.
Dress up like what you love about HK.
I love dressing up, in beautiful dresses and also in crazy outfits.
Or as Ant expressed it - dressing up with a twist.
So that is what we did.
Photo in taxi on our way to the party.

ave a go

A couple of days ago it was boxing time again.
Not for me, but for my friend Katie 'Ave a Go' Lowe.

Katie put on a real performance, she fought really well, her fans yelled encouragements all the way but unfortunately she did not win...


We had a very good night though and in spite of the loss Katie smiled all night. And in our hearts she is a winner!
