We headed back to the almost empty arcade for one last round. After spending about $50 over the span of 3 days and many countless happy hours for the kids, we exchanged the winning tickets for a plastic- bagful of snacks.
Zaky requested for the last Segway before we headed back and it was granted. This time, he tried the hover board instead. Lil Shauna preferred to stick to her safe old Segway but finally went a little faster.
We all had a chance to try the hover board. OK, I had to force Lil Shauna to stand on the hover board. Lol.
It was amazing how initiative it was in reading the body cues to move in the right direction. Seriously, when I first started, I didn't even register what I did to make it move in the direction that I wanted. I half suspected that it was reading my mind. Lol. Very quickly, Zaky was exploring the different tricks on the hover board. He had quite a few nasty falls on the Segway and I thought that the hover board would be even more dangerous but I was wrong. Maybe bcos of the ability to jump off when approaching danger or maybe he couldn't go as fast on the hover board. I was just glad that he was safe.
Zaky was very upset when we had to leave. I was tempted to get him a hover board for his bday but I didn't suggest it, suspecting that it would cost an arm. Daddy Lim could read my mind and asked exactly what I was thinking. I replied that we should check the prices 1st. Zaky probably has telepathy too and right after the session, he requested exactly a hover board for bday present! Let me think hard about it.
We spoke about going for massages before and throughout the trip but never really walking into the massage places that littered the street between the hotel and the shopping mall. Lil Shauna tried her 1st foot massage in Bangkok a few years back. I have no issue bringing the little girl for long and nice massages. I was worried that the boy wouldn't last until the hour long massage ends.
With less than an hour to checkout and transfer to the ferry terminal, the kids bugged for massage. We walked in to the one right next to the hotel and was glad that they agreed to do 30 mins foot massage for us at $70k each; the massages are usually at least 1 hour long. The kids were in an opposite partition; I couldn't see them but could hear them and their giggles when it gets a little too ticklish. Lol. I was glad that there was free wifi and the kids while enjoying massages were also entertained by Youtube. They totally enjoyed the experience, which means more massages in the future. Woohoo!
What happened after the massage were mad rushes to get out of the hotel, into the cab and to the Harbor Bay terminal. Luckily, there was no traffic and we arrived at the terminal 1 hour before the departure time. Check-in was done in less than 3 mins and we even found time for a quick lunch before the ferry. Soon, we were on the way home.
Did the kids enjoyed the trip? Of course they did. Did I enjoy the trip? I spent a lot of good time with Daddy Lim and the kids but found the trip super exhausting. I think I am too old for such weekend gateaway and I don't do well for no itinerary trips. My Hong Kong, wait for me, I am coming soon. Haha.
Leaving you with some crazy pictures.
