With my new Samsung Galaxy SII, I can now WhatsApp. Meredith has been learning and using whatapps to her dad.
This was what she wrote to him. All the chinese words were done by her without asking for help. I am impressed with her. Eugene was delighted. See the screen below and you will know why Eugene was so happy.
Egg sweets… Used to eat them when I was a little girl. Saw it yesterday at the same ah pek’s provision shop at mum’s house. Asked mum to get it for me as there was a dog in the shop.
I shared with Meredith and Keegan my childhood sweets.

Angry Birds are in fashion. Pens, soft toys, key chains, water bottles and many more. There are angry birds lanterns too! Bought these for Meredith and Keegan to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. They will be bring them to Meredith’s school celebration on 10 Sep 2011.
Welcome little Shawn Loi, baby of Jon & Chun Lei. Congrats.
Meredith having her eye sight checked after 3 days of Atropine drop. Degree drop from 400 to 275 for right & 150 to 0 for left, only with 75 of astigmatism. Will have her cool new progressive transition lens in 10 days time.
The side effects are light sensitive, allergic reactions and inability to focus near. That is why we got to make progressive transition lens. The lens + the frame costs $420.00.
The myopia control program is for 1 year. Got to put the atropine drop every night for 1 year and go back for review every 3 mths. Just hope everything goes well for her.
It has been a long time since Keegan sees his zoo phonics friends. Today we had a gathering at Takashimaya. There is a new restaurant at B2 (formly Mac Donald), it is called Pique Nique. Quite nice, there is a long table which can sits up to 10 persons.
Seeing from the photo, Keegan did enjoyed himself playing with Shannon.
