Amphibians or Reptiles ?

Do you know how to differentiate amphibians and reptiles? Well, we learnt that (yes, even as adult, I learnt with my kids) at the amphibian classroom held by ki2zoo  Kids absolutely love the class ! They asked to have a pet gecko or snake few months back, but of course, mommy is no fan of cold-blooded pet, so I rejected 😂 Hence, they’re looking forward to this class, being able to held and pet those (in their word) “cute and adorable” little geckos and baby snakes.  The 1hour 20mins class time include introducing, little quiz game for kids, picture and petting time.  Kids now know that the 🥚 eggs for reptiles and amphibians are different, reptile’s is with eggshells and the latter lay eggs in water and covered in gel ; 🦎 reptiles’ skins are dry, hard and scaly while 🐸 amphibians are smooth and highly porous : and amphibians needs water in their habitat their life cycles involves that.  If you’re interested, I’ve gathered some information from the organisation:...

Spartan Kids ! Aroo Aroo Aroo !

This year’s Spartan Kids race is over. There were one held in May, which ended terribly (refer to : https://fb.watch/9w7o6FVlPu/) . Then, another make up race was organised last Sunday, on 21st November. Now this is more like it !  There are 10 obstacles:  1. Over under through  2. Spartan sea 3. Muddy pit  4. Slip wall  5. Balance beam 6. “A” wall  7. Spider webs  8. Barbed wire  9. A frame  10. Log jump Kids love every bits! Well, almost every single one except the mud pit which got them in a little bit of a sticky situation. There are moments which I’d love not to forget, moments that my kids made me so proud of myself as a mother 😂  We joint the open category for age 4 to 6, which K is 6y2m and D is 4y8m. They have been quite an active kids, of course I have no doubt in their capability to finish the challenge. However, they do surprise me with their team spirits and sharpness at taking down each obstacles.  K shows her determi...

Happy Halloween 🎃

I just have to blog about today’s “unplanned but turned out to be absolutely enjoyable” afternoon at Stanley.  Originally today was supposed to be a just lunch and playground outing. While kids are climbing at the playground, we saw a queue and found out the “treasure hunt but in Trick O Treat style” kind of activity going on in community!  Basically kids would just go to places pinned on map, once they spot the posters in regards of “shiver me Stanley Timber”, they could walk in and ask for 🍬 candies, not forgetting to stamp their map before leaving. There are 25 places scattered around, from Stanley plaza to Stanley markets. Local businesses and neighbours got involved. It’s amazing how they don’t mind to sit and wait for the kids, being cheerful and friendly; and shops with customers waiting still squeeze time to entertain kids that’s coming in for the game.  The whole thing is full of excitement and fun! 🎉 X  #halloween2021 #halloweeninhongkong #kidshalloween #...

Tung Wan Beach @ Cheung Chau Island

We book a night at Bela Vista Villa with K’s BFF to celebrate their 6th birthday. We parked at Rumsey Street Multi-storey Carpark just 10 mins walk from the pier. Took the standard ferry to Cheung Chau Island. We prefer the standard over express because of the vip deck at standard, it’s comfortable enough for the 50 mins ride, providing bigger space with vending machines, tables and chairs. Bela Vista Villa was just 3 minutes walk from Tung Wan Beach. It’s perfect for a beach getaway. There are toilets and shower areas. Water quality ain’t bad, we saw fishes swimming next to us and even flying fish jumps out right in front of us while we are swimming to the floating platform. Fyi, we booked a 2 bedroom with roof top for barbecue (didn’t get to use it) at Bela Vista Villa via Holimood for less than 2k per night.
