Thank God that my dicorce is very much over. Having paid my ex the money, which the court ordered, at least I manage to get ex and his folks to move out of my matrimonial home after much aggro. To have skin that thick so as to occupy the house over me and Maddy (who needed the house more) is ludicrous. Feel much happier now and could focus my energy on Maddy.
S France trip with Maddy was very good. Uncle Lionel and ourselves had a great time and we visited more people and more places this time. Maddy is very close to me now and we had a great bonding time. Maddy still liked the animals and the zoo the most. Meanwhile, I would try to edit some pictures into this blog to show all, if I manage so to do.
Taikoo house is facing renovation at the moment. The aim is to extend the kitchen to include its original balcony and then partition the extended area to include a sleeping area for Nuriyati. By the end of this month, all works would be done and Suet Tsai (our chiwawa) could also return home to us after its stay with Uncle Fafa.
France trip was great, save that our luggages went to Paris on their own for a brief 2 days. Air France is full of surprises, believe me or not.

My divorce leaves me with more personal time as I had granted generous paternal access of Madeleine. During times when I am not with Madeleine, I go to the gym, as I said before in my previous entries here.
Recently, upon persuasion and recommendation by my best friend and bridesmaid, Amelia (see photo above in blue), I have joined the meetup hiking group. For more details of this group, please browse this url link http://hiking.meetup.com/130/. Believe me that I had joined some other intresests groups before, but this group is really a group of very decent people. The hikes are kind of tough at times, but they are doable. It is a really fun and relaxing way to chill, network and burn calories.
We Hong Kongers should really feel blessed that we could be so close to nature and so close to urbanisation at the same time. So, I rally for all of you to join us in hiking or at least go hiking in HK yourself.
Through meetup’s hiking group, I have made many friends and through whom I have met many activity buddies. See the below link.

Since the infamous non-molestation order, I have returned to the gym. For friends who know me well, I am a gym rat. I have been going to the gym religiously for over 20 years and I have weight trained for almost as long. I used to go to the gym 9 times a week, for during some weekdays I went twice.
Now, with Maddy’s calved out access, I go to the gym every Tuesday and Thursday nights. I will work out till Maddy returns home later in those evenings. I now have a new trainer, Sunny, as Ally, my veteran trainer, has become too busy since my 3 years’ weight training sabbatical to slot me into his packed schedule again. Sunny and Ally are both nice and I see both of them in the gym regularly. Here is my gym http://www.ignite.com.hk/index.html.
