When I got to Baby Genius the breakfast was noodles.I'm actually quite getting used to these strange breakfasts.I've shown the chef my card saying I'm veggie and he dishes out my food separately so although it may not be my first choice of morning food, at least I know it's meat-free!Miss Wang was back at school and she gave me my timetable.Monday and Wednesday I will be at Baby Genius all day.
