2008/6/9 Clear Water Bay

Since China has changed her holiday policy, Tin stays more in Hong Kong on public holidays. Today is a holiday after Tuen Ng Festival. I had a plan in my mind to meet Faye's ex-classmate Ling Ling. Tyler and Faye have 2 dolls. One is Yip Long and the other is Ling Ling. Recently every night they have to sleep with Ling Ling. Ling Ling was Faye's best friend when she was in the Day Nursery. This morning when it was not too early, I gave Ling's mother a call. Fortunately, she did not have any appointment. She suggested to go the the beach. So we met at Clear Water Bay! Yeah!





We went to the beach or swimming pool several times before. Unlike Faye and Tyler, Trevor did not like water. He only used his hands to splash water but he did not step in the water. This time, I tried again to put him in water. Out of my surprise, he did not cling to me!





The children repeats digging, fetching water and pouring water the whole afternoon. They don't feel tired or boring at all.





I must write something about the following 2 photos. As Trevor was not afraid of water, I took him to deeper region. He shook and wanted to get rid of my hand. I followed tightly after him. I did not prepare for any accident. But accident is accident. You never know when it comes. Trevor tripped over and immersed in water immediately. He showed no sign of struggling in water. I helped him stand at once. Surprisingly he did not cry. He only clung to me.




My heart pounded so hard when I held his hand again. You know, every one was busy at playing on the beach. Innocently, Trevor did not struggle. The water was not as clear as its name. If I were not keeping an eye on him, he would have floated away and out of my sight easily. A fatal accident would have happened.




The beach was full of people that day. Tyler met Ma, one of his classmates. He was so excited and ran to tell me. Ma had got a big sea turtle float. They played happliy on the turtle.
