Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake!

Can believe that we actually went to see the Russian State Ballet performing Swan Lake, I always wanted to see a Ballet. It was more than I expected, very moving and romantic. I never realised before how much skills and talents is involved in Ballet. You would think that they have strings attached to them or springs on their feet 'cos they jumped and moved so greatfully, as if they weight nothing. Very impressed. Teddy has really changed his opinions on ballet dancers.

We had great seat, second rows from the front. It was a full house. Something we won't forget!

Here are some pictures:

Teddy is bringing me to see the Russian State Ballet - Swan Lake tonight at the Point Theatre. Since Suki and Vivian are taking ballet lessons so Mei is bringing them as well. We gonna have to drop Éimhear to her nana tonight so I better get things ready now...!!

Time to put up my feet and relax...!!

"Thank God", everything is done and the house is spotless clean and we finally put up the icecicle light on the gutter last night. Teddy and I was argueing over something stupid last night and we couldn't possibly remembered whether this is the 3rd or the 4th Christmas in the house!! Teddy was right, this is our 4th christmas together and is the 2nd Christmas for Éimhear!!

Éimhear has been very good since we have the Christmas tree up and she loves the lights in the house. There are 3 reindeers in the garden and she keeps pointing at them and says"liang liang (nice nice),靓靓!" (she speaks Cantonese as well as English!)

When I was cleaning the house today, she was following me around and I had to bath her after I cleaned the 2 toilets and the bathroom as her sleeves were ringing wet since she put her hands over the shower head when I rinse the bath. It was very funny..!!

Here are some pictures of the house!!

Daa,daa....................
