Hi, it’s me, 9J, again!

Last Sunday Anita went to the Heritage Museum to lead some tours.  I tagged along to offer her moral support.

AT the New Town Plaza in Shatin, we encountered a strange cityscape…

Bath Night

Hi, it’s 9J here ~

I took a bath last night! Anita also washed CherryJ, but didn’t take a picture of her.

At the Heritage Museum

I can only call this post “at the Heritage Museum” but not refer to any specific exhibition because I could not take pictures in it.  So, here you are… in the proximity of “The Golden Age of Couture (aka the Dior show).”

And some pictures of the birds on the river outside.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club – “Old Factory, Emerging Arts”

The Hong Kong Jockey Club had donated a lot of money to revitalize an old factory building in Shek Kip Mei and turned it into a workshop for artists, called the Jockey Club Creative Art Center.  9J and I went to visit an exhibition about this transformation at the Racing Museum in Happy Valley.

Cheburashka!

Brunch Club

This is a restaurant that serves 24-hour brunch.  My family and I wanted to come here yesterday but it was full, so we went today.

The interior furnishing is very stylish.

Old Timey Starbucks

Today I went with 9J to a Starbucks in Central that is furnished as if it were an old-fashioned Hong Kong Cafe.  We didn’t stay becuase 1. there wasn’t any seats left; 2. The food wasn’t that great.  It was lunch time and we need something more substantial than your average Starbucks fare.

New Member again!

Here’s the latest of our member: CherryJ, since she is wearing a dress with cherries on it.

Today is also Miffy’s birthday, so, happy birthday!

CherryJ is our smallest member yet, but I’m sure her personality is just as big!

Louis Vuitton — A Passion for Creation

I went with 9J to the exhibition called Louis Vuitton – A Passion for Creation at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.

Wrapped Museum

Tickets, program, and a sticker which has to be displayed on your clothing at all times, to distinguish you from the other visitors who didn’t pay the heftier price to see this special show.

Of course, photograpy is not allowed inside the galleries. This display is on the outside.

At the King Ludwig German Restaurant. I discovered that I like Saurkraut.

Not that impressed, I must say.  It could be me not understanding Modern Art enough.  I saw one young couple taking snapshots of the exhibits where they clearly could not.  Even worse, in another gallery they started TOUCHING THE EXHIBITS!  This really gets my goat and I had to tell the security officers about this.  One of them went over to tell them off.  However, what I don’t understand is: there were at least half a dozen officers in each room, how come no one saw what happened and I had to tell them?

After the visit we went to a German restaurant called “King Ludwig” where they have this delicious beer that I like (Meisel Weisse).

Cova again

We went to tea at Cova Caffe again, after attending a lecture on the history of Causeway Bay at the Heritage Discovery Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui.

They didn’t have that raspberry cereal cake I liked. 

New Member of our Family!

Today is so exciting!  We received an unexpected package from Miffa, and in with it came a new member of our family ~ Takeshi Ichiban, aka GreyJ!

He came all the way from Japan (Miffa & co. are visiting their friends, the CafeMiffy bunnies, there) and is immediated welcomed into our little home.  9J and the other bunnies are quite curious of his special stance (as you can see in the pictures below) and color.

Welcome again, GreyJ,  we’re sure to have lots of fun together!
