1st April was my birthday, 4th April was the children's day and today is 5th April, first day of the Easter Holiday this year.
Bonnie(x19), Michelle(14), Elsie(12) and Docus(9) met at TKL MTR at 10:50am to depart for Kowloon Tong. I sat next to Elsie while Michelle was chatting with Docus. Elsie told me that she has started the running training program again. Bonnie curiously asked the technique of running fast is due to the big steps or the fast pitching. "We learn to count steps for a fixed distance." Elsie replied me. "I am said to be a short distance runner with exposive power so mostly I choose to run 60m but when I go to secondary school, I have to run 100m."................fun to talk about running with a girl 30+ years younger than me.
Itamae Sushi in Festival Walk opens every day at 11:30am. When we arrived there (next to the ice-skating ring) there was already a quere with about 20 people though the time is only 11:20am. Anyway, we felt safe to be included for the first round.
Since it is a rotary sushi bar, we made our own rule only to pick plates cost less than HK$20. We still have lots of choices for the red plate at$9, blue plate at $12, orange plate at$15, light blue plate at $18 and green plate at $20.
I found out that Elsie does not eat raw fish so she only took BBQ eel, egg rolls and california rolls. Docus likes most the boiled prawn and she enjoyed most of other food with Michelle, like the salmon, egg roll, hand-roll suchi and Japanese salad. Altogether we cosumed up to 21 plates with half of it belongs to the $9 plate.
We felt very satisfied with the good food and our smart eat. Moreover, we understood each other's eating pattern and favorites. We need a walk to help the digestion. As we have planned, we walked towards the City University. We took few camera shots on the way.
In the University, we checked out most of the circles' posters. Finally we sat on the stairs facing the swimming pool. Bonnie asked, "Does anyone of you have something brand new with you today?"..................a long quiet. Then Docus broke the ice and asked, "Michelle, are your pair of shoes the new ones?" What a great observation.
Then, we came to tell each other which is the item at this moment with us finds most treasurable and meaningful. After many rounds of Pau-Chin-Dub, here were the sequence:
Docus : My lavander pen which was given to me by my father. It has a good smell.
Bonnie : The Birthday bear Michelle has given to me 2 years ago.
Elsie : The glasses bought by her mother. Now I can see the blackboard writing in the class clearly and find easier to understand the class lesson.
Michelle : The color pallet chosen for me by an image consultant that helps a lot when I choos
e my outfits with matching colors.
Michelle's color pallet seemed drawing most of the girls attention. We, then kicked off the topic on cold color and warm color. Elsie told me that she is good at sketching with pencil but finds difficult to fill up with colors........
We moved on to depart City University for Page One Bookstore. We spent about 15 minutes there. Finally Michelle got 2 booklet of her favorite "Five People You Met in the Heaven" series which I promised to buy for her and Elsie bought for herself a Chinese 三國演義 to prepare for class activities after the Easter Holiday.

We decided to share a drink and cake together. Though four of us, be economical we ordered one strawberry drink and 2 cuts of blue berry and cookie cheese cake. The waitress served us very well with extra plates.
We had shared something deeper here. Elsie finds difficult to deal with the younger brother. She prefers to have an elder brother but not an elder sister. Or may be she prefers to be the only child in the family. Docus affirmed that she also has a younger brother who does not listen to her always. Michelle gave compassion on their feelings and found she is lucky to have an elder brother than a younger one. I shared my elder brother always beat my back when I was a young primary school student. We come to understand that this is the brothers and sisters relationship in reality. HA HA Haaaa.......
Before we departed for home, each of us shared what we like the most or was the nice memory for today:
Elsie : The sushi
Docus: The chatting
Michelle: The book
Bonnie : The sharing in front of the swimming pool
If you asked me, "what I most treasured today" they are :
