Before going home, Loretta had dim-sum lunch with us. My mother-in-law was the host after all. Soon dim-sums filled our table and we were fed up as usual.We returned to Shatin as soon as possible because packing and weighing Loretta’s large suit-case took some time. Loretta just wondered if she could buy more if the suit-case was still under-weight. It came out that the weight of the suit-case reached somewhat 25.5 kilograms. A little bit of shifting of things to the smaller suit-case was done.
Since it was still early, Tony accompanied Loretta to the shops at City One to find for “lighter” articles. In the end, some batteries, bottles of glue and mini card games were bought.
We boarded the “3:40” A41 bus to the airport. Unexpectedly, the large suit-case only weighed 24.5 kilograms at the check-in counter. It might be that the airline company deliberately made the machine weigh less for allowance. It was wonderful that no extra charge was laid on the large suit-case.
Time was still ample for a late afternoon tea snack. Surprisingly, we could not find any Mc Donald, but a Fairwood. In the latter fast-food shop, we bought a pork-chop burger and a French toast with inadequate syrup plus a chicken wing. Besides the drinks, the most interesting was the six-dollar “Wun Chai Chee” (碗仔翅). We could imagine what was inside the soup.
Towards six in the evening, we took some photos and Loretta prepared to go in to the customs through the entrance. We hugged Loretta and said good-bye to her. She waved back as she disappeared behind the door.
This time, Loretta is fully-loaded with drinks, snacks, biscuits mostly in taste of peanut butter, two heavy-weighted moulds in making cakes, stationery, game cards, chopsticks and many other things which I did not know.

Thank you once again for your care and hospitality. Although a mother of three (and going to be four), Loretta had become baby of the family again for a few days. We enjoy looking at the photos.
