Wife out, kids sleeping its time for dinner.

Dark is the Twilight

Dark is the twilight that hides our fears, silence drowned by falling tears.

S.I.G

So we went for coffee.....

in and around.

Just the name alone evokes more then a little thrill for me, The Majestic. Built in 1928 as a Theatre by Eu Tong Sen and was known Tien Yien Moh Toi Theatre till 1938 when it was renamed Queens Theatre by the Shaw brothers who also converted it into a cinema. At the end of the war The Majestic Film Company took over and gave it its current name. Its now a shopping mall.

Like some kind of alien space craft plonked in the middle of china town/duxton The Pinnacle at Duxton seems to tower over everything in its shadow. Its really difficult to take pictures without this complex of buildings stepping into the frame like an uninvited guest. It is a dominating presence in the area. I have yet to decide if I like the complex or not, judgement will be withheld.

Below are pictures of the now abandoned Yan Kit Swimming Pool, its not that old really opened in 1952 and closed in 2001. This is a place i really want to get into. akan datang.

Miss chalk covered face.

the trail.

They have gutted the front portion of the trail for the Youth Olympics, lets hope they do a good job on it.

:) my kids

This is the first picture ever taken of Isabella Faith Simon. As the nurse and I walked her to the nusery she insted i run back and grab my camera.
Below her first bath at home.
Below, the best big sister and first born anyone could ask for. She helps bath the baby and is very protective. AND boy does she make me laugh.

Under the cot we have staff nurse Pepper. She sits with me for the night feeds and follows me throughout the night when I go and check on the girls. Sometimes she has a nap under the cot.

Burping baby, day one at home.

Poor baby, got a slight eye infection and a rash but she is such a good girl.

I have kids. yes kids. :)

testing...

sigh.

Waiting for a name.
