Last night, we took a Junk out to Lamma Island for our last hurrah before leaving for Singapore on Tuesday. Check out the pics…

Here is me and Jean enjoying a beautiful start of the evening. That’s our apartment block behind us off to the right.

Here is Fiona and Matt. Matt was good enough to get his bosses Junk out for us that night.

I had the honor of getting to eat the Fish Eye. Tasty…

Here is me and Stam lounging as we were coming back to the Pier.

Here is me and Wayne hanging…

Jean and Fiona looking beautiful with the Jumbo Floating Restaurant behind them.

After 3 years in Hong Kong, The Sawin Family finally made it up to the Big Buddha. My nephew and I went a while ago, but this time it was the whole family. We braved the cable car and didn’t die… which was nice. Since I last went, it is now much more commercialized with Ngong Ping Village. They even had a Starbucks. Crazy.

My sister googled herself and found old pictures back in the karate days. So I did the same and found these gems. The picture on the bottom is me doing a blowgun demonstration. Too funny.

The girls have been doing many new things as of late. Riley tried painting with some assistance from Big Sister. Riley headed off to school and Grace had her first dance exam.

Picasso in the making.

Grace lending some very colorful hands.

Riley getting ready for her first school bus ride.

Grace with her dance teacher Miss Melissa.

Well, not really. Nice optical illusion shot from Billy. I tried that shot before but it didn’t work for me.

Billy came all the way from Chicago and visited us this week. Here was the rundown…

We hit the Hong Kong Sevens on Saturday. As always, a good time…

Won some money in Macau…

Hit the Temple Street Night Market from some tasty Prawns and Beers…

Made it up to Shenzhen for some Purse shopping and a massage…

And hit the track on a rainy night…

Here are some pictures from my work…

This is a Pig Cutting ceremony. They have these when something big happens like a project being completed. Depending on the magnitude of the project, a larger number of pigs are cut. This was a one pigger.

This is me presenting to our team in China.

And this is the team in China.

This is how we manage when Grace is tired of walking. It doesn’t look super comfortable, but the girls seem to enjoy it.

Grace’s class just performed their Christmas show. Grace was “Mary”. She was the only non-Angel. Joseph was portrayed by her boyfriend Finlay. She had 4 lines and did a great job. Too bad I didn’t hit the record button on the video camera. Hopefully, we can get the video from a classmate.
