My new job

One of the workmates of my girlfriend asked her if she would be interested in teaching her nearly 3 years old daughter English. But my girlfriend had already accepted a job in a different department of the same company she is currently working for. Fortunately she recommended me for the job, as she explained I would be free after the 31st of January and love to play with kids :). So now my new job is teaching this very cute nearly 3 years old girl English. Below are some pictures of her, can't really call it work can I? ;) The picture in the middle is with her 3 months old sister. Will be working on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, it is pretty far away from our place, but think it will be fun and worth the travel. Will start on the 4th of February.

Happy New Year!!

We celebrated the New Year in our home. Was good fun to play games together and enjoy some Champaign, Wine and Pizzahut food.
Hope everyone will have a great 2008! (Strange to be typing this while we already just entered another New Year (the chinese year of the rat).

Bicycle activity

On the 25th of November we went to (....euhmm...always have such a hard time remembering these kinds of things) to go bicycle riding. Me and my girlfriend had been there before, so it was a quite familair track.

I always quite enjoy riding bicycle, quite a dutch thing to do ;). Mabel and Big Rice don't know how to ride a bicycle so they shared a tandem bike with Matt and Marc.

As before by the time we had arrived the destination it was already getting quite late, we had to return the bikes at 6 so it was quite a race back.

I was the first one to arrive back at the bicycle renting place. And shortly after the others started to arrive, except for Matt. Everyone thought he was driving the last part together with me, but I had not seen him for quite a while already. It appeared that he took some wrong turns earlier on and had gotten quite lost. Quite a relief for everyone to finally see him make it to the rental place as well....

It has been a while....

It has been a while since my last update of this blog....

But will try to catch up over the next few days as quite a lot has happened recently.

At the beginning of November I finally decided to quite my job. After a little over 2 years working in this company work was still not challanging at all and also often didn't have much to do; that on top of a bad atmosphere in the office finally made me decide to leave. It was really boring to go to work every day and also often quite annoying to be there, thinking back I probably should have left a lot earlier. But it ain't that easy to make such decision when in the end my right to stay in Hong Kong depends on having a job. Fortunately not too long ago I did get my working visa extended, so will still be allowed to remain in HK for another 1,5 year or so.

On the 24th of November we went to visit Louis and Tracy to see their baby. At that time they still had not decided on the name for the boy but by now we know he is called Isaac. Very cute baby :).
