A potty for you?

I started this week by ditching the "lifestyle" I led for the past three months... I started going home early - left office for the past two days at 1900 hrs.

You see, I am like a born-again Daddy. I am so very excited about this Friday, seeing Sharon and kids at HKIA. For so many months, I am just waiting for this day; for them to be with me in HK. I mean, every single decision had been made for the family since I arrived...the choice of apartment, the furnitures (or the lack of it, I should add), etc. So I am determined to ensure every detail is worked out before they arrive. VISA checked, medical card checked, kicthen appliances checked...and the list goes on.

But Mr Potty is still missing...and I am keen to nail him down tonight. Well, my efforts paid off finally as I cornered Ah Boon a few hours ago...Ah Boon was practically screaming for me to take him home...but for a price of HK$300+ He may be too pretty for one to take a dump on it (But his name surely does not complement the clean design - I mean, "BOON"??? come on...http://www.booninc.com/potty.html)

Anyway, at that price, I decided to leave it alone for the time being, and went ahead to locate Ms Balneum (Moisturiser) and Ms Eucerin (Bath oil). Elegant names they have, but surely it was hard for me to ask directions from my friendly Chinese dispensaries at Shau Kei Wan. Tonight, I walked the entire main-street visiting close to six dispensaries, and none of them carried the brands Balneum and Eucerin. But all of them were only too eager to help..."BAL meh ah?....U meh ah?...." In my limited Cantonese, I thanked them and moved on.

So here I am, checking on the internet and "mums & paps" discussion threads, looking up where in HK do they carry Balneum and Eucerin. Not much luck though, but it was evident from the discussion threads that we are not alone in endorsing these two brands. I am sure I have seen it...was it in the clinic>>>Hmm the hunt continues...and I am sure Ah Boon will be in my dreams too...
