Hong Kong Day 1

We woke the kids up at 4.30am. It is part of the plan in attempt to knock them out during the flight. Lil Shauna was very cooperative at the idea of going to Hong Kong and bounced out of bed. Bcos jiejie didn't fuss, didi didn't as well. Hehe, a good start.

We arrived at the airport at about 5.45am. There was a Q for checking in. We had bfast, I expressed and Daddy Lim answered to nature's call. Then, we ended up at the wrong gate. I think we were the last to board the plane, about a few mins before the gate closes. I was half thinking if they will start calling for us over the PA system. Lil Shauna anxiously helped to call out to the plane to wait for us while we rushed to the plane. Too cute. Hohoho.

The plane ride was very much alright. Lil Isaac was knocked out even before the flight took off, just accordingly to the plan. Jiejie self entertained with a colouring kit and then watched some cartoon. She had a good portion of the delicious flight meal - omelette with some ketchup sauce and napped after her meal. Soon after, didi woke up.

Lil Isaac was manageable as well. He was kept entertained with lots of food. Lol. We woke Lil Shauna up 30mins before we landed and the kids were well behaved. At least they didn't scream the plane down.

We landed safely other than Lil Shauna's scare of wanting to poo poo during landing when we couldn't use the toilet. She managed to hold and lost the urge when we finally landed. Lol.

The Ong family took an earlier flight and were waiting for us at the airport when we arrived. We took a bus to the hotel. This is us happily posing bcos we are in Hong Kong!

We managed to check in immediately and took some time to settle down. We then met up with a senior, who is working in Hong Kong and spent the rest of the day walking to hunt for a good dessert stall. We eventually ended up at Habourcity for some lights show.

It was very cold, the kids were all bundled up.



Bcos the group was so big, progress was slow. We even ditched the original plan to go to the Peak. We were constantly waiting but nobody minded. I think it helps that we already had the mindset that there will be lots of waiting.

We caught a cab back to the hotel after the show. It was too cold and the adults were too tired. We tabaoed dinner to hotel and the kids went to bed at 10pm. Yawnz, we followed shortly after washing up. I was the maid this time and spent a good portion of my time in the room washing the milk bottles and all.

End of day 1...
