Welcome baby Alvin

Hello my precious Mr. Alvin Lau. We are all honoured to have you in our lives. I know this post is a little behind since you came into this world in December 2013, but you are fast becoming one of the most important things to me. From now on, I promise to be your Aunt, your friend and I will protect you, laugh with you and teach you to play piano...because it's a known fact that musicians attracts the girls haha. 

Hehe 20 something years ago i had the same pose

Your first pair of shoes...a promise to be with you every step of your life :)

                               

Rubber Duck Dog

The rubber duck has taken over HONG KONG! Both children and adults have gone crazy over this giant friend.

So what does Hofman's Rubber Duck mean to you? Has it bought back nostalgic memories of childhood toys? Is it purely a money making piece of art?  Has it reminded you of the morals behind the story of the 'Ugly Duckling'? Or does it bring out the ironic contradiction of such innocence against the back drop of the busy concrete jungle? To me, it's escapism. The Rubber Duck let's you momentarily escape the busy city and enter a world of play and nonsense. After all, life doesn't always have to be so serious. 

Seeing photos of this rubber duck reminded me of my dear Ponyo and her mini rubber duck friends. After a trip to Tai Yeun street last year i bought back a bag of these mini ducks to my dog and she instantly fell in love with them!  I am sure you have seen the photo's of the giant Rubber duck everywhere, so let's not bore you with the same image...and so, this is my version of the Rubber Duck.  Hehehe

Cuddles with her little ducklings. Ponyo absolutely loves every one of her little friends, hugging one after another and makes sure that all 30 of them are taken back to her bed at the end of the day. CUTE!
