Moon Festival to Double-10 Day!

5 day weekends rock!!

Friday, Moon Festival: Watched 4 hours of Anne of Green Gables, then Wedding Date. Discussed extensively how hot Dermot Mulroney is and exactly what we'd do with that sexy half-smile of his... Spent the night in Da'an Park on a blanket in fresh damp grass watching the bright silver moon in a cloudy purple sky, listening to Nora Jones croon along with dogs frolicking and basketball at 2am.

Saturday: Was up early to get to school and prep for the next week and, more importantly, my FIRST tutoring job! Lesson brought forward an hour and ran over to it in a mild state of panic. Found panic was waste of good nervous energy as my kids are incredibly intelligent and eager to read Amelia Bedelia themselves rather than listen to sweaty Australian teacher read, who they managed to find flatteringly fascinating nevertheless. Hit Ikea for new red wine bedsheets, brown velvet pillow and Ambiance lamp.
Got home and girls decided on secret ballat vote as to whether night would be spent playing Monopoly or more Anne saga. Found secret voting does not inspire quiet nights in and ended up in a KTV suite in fancy dress, singing Kareoke loud enough to worry the bartenders outside (outside our soundproof room). Then headed out to club and was pulled into breakdancers circle. Some very close dancing and now know how peacocks feel as males compete for attention, whoosh-ka! Could barely move, men all over the place and ego boosted no-end.
