HongKong Part 4

Our last day in Hongkong. My fever will go away only with medicine and will come back after when the medicine loses effect. -.o"

We had breakfast and started roaming the street after we checked out. Our flight is only at 8.30pm and we had to check out by 1pm. Daddy Lim and I managed to do some walking around while the kids played in one of the rooms. When we returned, the room was like war zone, just like how our dinning tables were after each meal. Scary.

We went to the Starwalk. Then for lunch and headed back to the hotel to wait for the transport.
It was just too tough to try to walk aimlessly with 5 kids. In fact, it was a nightmare. We rather let the kids run around in the hotel lobby and create a nuisance to the other hotel guests. Oops, Sorry.

We reached the airport and it was finding dinner and more running around for the kids. There is also a store selling Disney products in the airport and Lil Shauna again had a good time chasing bubbles. :)

We started walking towards the gate at 8pm and was surprised to find the gate very, very far away. We even needed to take the sky train. By the time we arrived, it was already final call and we were the last few passengers to board, which is good bcos it means lesser waiting time.
Lil Shauna asked for her milk and fell asleep shortly before we took off. I liked it that way too. I rather take care of a fully awake and jumping Lil Shauna after we arrived in Singapore then to try to restraint her and make her sit down in the plane.

The other 4 kids were much awake and they started running up and down the aisles. Faint. Not only were they laughing and screaming, crying takes place every few minutes too. I really pity the passengers along the aisles and kept hoping that the kids wun wake Lil Shauna.

They did not but woke another sleeping baby who started crying badly and for a long while. I think that crying baby's parents must have hated the kids or the kids parents who didnt take their children in hand.

After all the running and playing, they started falling asleep one by one but that was already nearing arrival time. One of my SIL's friend's kid couldnt stop crying and woke Lil Shauna. Luckily, she was again manageable.

We finally touch down in Singapore after midnight and arrived home at 1+am with an awake Lil Shauna. But she was tired too and fell asleep after her milk. Hehehe, nice hor.

That's all for our Hkg trip. Stupid fever + sore throat and eye. Otherwise, we would have done much more. Haiz. I must be salted vegetable life. Worked so hard and can finally go holiday and have to fall sick while on holiday. Pui!

Day 3 was bad. The low grade fever persisted and I developed a nasty sore throat. We went to Ocean Park. I felt weak all over but tot that it was unfair to keep the rest in the hotel with me and I dragged my feet along. I was still feeling alright upon arrival. I couldnt find much energy to talk and kept my strength to keep walking. Lil Shauna was willing to stick to Daddy Lim, heng ah.

We took long escalators after escalators to reach the top. Then we went for the dolphin show.

After the dolphin show, my fever was promoted to a 38+ degree fever. -.o" There is a lack of photos from Day 3 onwards bcos Daddy Lim had to concentrate on taking care of Lil Shauna while I had to concentrate on walking. Haha.

We then took a long cable car ride to the other part of the park.

Lil Shauna was enjoying herself in the cable car. It was a nice ride.

The cable car brought us downhill to a newly developed part of Ocean Park with more kiddy rides. I have heard how run-down Ocean Park is and how people advised us to save $$ and skipped the park but was actually surprised at how big and well the park is.

We walked around somemore and took more photos and Daddy Lim took Lil Shauna to see the Panda Bears while I rested. I was too tired and weak even though my job for the day was only to concentrate on walking.

We had a simple lunch and I decided that I couldnt go on. I knew that there are many kiddy rides and playground for Lil Shauna ahead, I know I am throwing good $$ away. The entrance was expensive, Hkg$250 per pax! But I was simply too sick to walk. My mum was so nice to accompany us back, fearing that Daddy Lim will not be able to take care of Lil Shauna alone.

We took a cab back to the hotel and Lil Shauna fell asleep in the cab. I had peace... and dived into the bed upon arriving at the hotel room. Stupid fever and sore throat + sore eye. The fever didnt go away and I had no choice but to see a doctor in Hkg. I was diagnosed with upper respiratory tract infection and was given Panadol + some anti-inflammation medicine. Then it was bedtime for me again.

The fever finally went away in the late evening with the medicine. Phew. I was finally hungry and start eating after nibbling like a mouse for the past few meals. After Lil Shauna fell asleep, Daddy Lim and I even managed to sneak out for supper + some shopping. Many shops were still opened at 11pm. :) I got a top. Hehe. One of my few purchases in Hkg. Hkg leh, shopping paradise leh. Haiz, what to do.

We went to DisneyLand again for more rides, shopping and photos taking.

I had to start wearing my sunglasses cos I got Lil Shauna's sore eye while she's starting to recover. -.o"

Daddy Lim made Lil Shuana and me take photo with King Arthur's sword. He was so thrilled with the sword. I wonder why...

We managed to take many nice pictures with Mickey Mouse's friends, but just not with Mickey Mouse bcos the Q was too long. Hehe.

Lil Shauna even managed to take a solo pix with Daisy. But that was the first and only character that she's willing to do so. She likes Pooh Bear too. Hehe.

Then it was more rides. Yes, we took the same rides. No doubt that DisneyLand is a place for little kids, but toddlers still have limited rides to take.

And bubbles time. They have this bubble machines everywhere, especially near retail areas. The bubbles are free for all, probably to attract the kids and lure the parents to the mechanise and allowed the parents to shop leisurely while the kids go crazy over the bubbles.

It was finally time to leave DisneyLand for Tsum Sha Chui. Upon arrival, I was down with a low grade fever that didnt go away with rest. The hotel room was much smaller. There were 2 single beds and a 3rd added bed. Yes, that's me trying to sleep the fever away while my mum and Daddy Lim kindly brought Lil Shauna downstairs for a walk or to my bro's room to give me some peace.

We went to the Peak in the evening. It was a MRT ride and a steep uphill walk away. Luckily, Lil Shauna allowed Daddy Lim to ergo her all the way.

It was cooling at the Peak, but I was freezing cold from the fever.

This is me shivering under 2 jackets. -.o"

Lil Shauna grew super cranky while waiting for the tram to go downhill and fell asleep soon after. -.o" It was only 7+pm. She woke up at the hotel and my mum and Daddy Lim had to take turns to entertain her. Mummy Lim was unconscious with fever, hoping to sleep the fever away.
Daddy Lim actually tuck Lil Shauna to bed that night and shared the bed with her.. OOorrrrhhhh, how sweet, right? It is father and daughter bonding time. Hehe.

HongKong Part 1

We are back. The trip went well, other than the fact that I fell very sick and Daddy lim and I both got food poisoning in the beginning. I think it is the bah cho mee from the airport. -.o" We are so glad that Lil Shauna was willing to let Daddy Lim carry and ergo her in Hkg. Not only does it makes our $120 (on the ergo) investment worth it, but also we would have all died if Lil Shauna insisted to stick to the sick Mummy Lim. -______-"

Our flight was at 6.50am and we had to wake a grumpy Lil Shauna up at 4am to catch the pre-arranged transport to the airport. Lil Shauna was much co-operative when she saw the gorgor and jiejies in the transport (fyi, we went with my mum, my bro's family and my SIL's friends family, total of 7 adults to 5 children). Lil Shauna was happily running around and taking photos in the airport. It is so rare to get all the kids in the pix.

We took a few more pix before Lil Shauna started dozing off while Daddy Lim carried her, right before we boarded the plane. Woohoo! The plane ride was super smooth with a sleeping Shauna. Things went just as planned. Hehe. Lil Shauna woke up about an hour before arrival to Hongkong and was pretty manageable.

Upon arriving in Hkg, we went straight to Disneyland! Mickey Mouse and friends greeted us right at the doorstep.

There are just Mickey Mouse and friends everywhere in Disneyland! Lil Shauna must be quite thrilled for she recognises Mickey Mouse. :)

After awhile, we met with a really grumpy Minnie Mouse who needed her afternoon nap and missed a really nice ride. Too bad..

We also took merry-go-round and flying dumbo.

We even saw SuperMan!

We then caught the daily parade AND finally heading back to the hotel for some rest before returning to Disneyland in the evening for the famous fireworks. :) These are basically floats. There are dancing crews and loud music too. Very entertaining.

The hotel room is amazing. There are 2 big beds, which is so unlike Hkg hotels. As usual, we had a jumping Lil Shauna.Almost everything in the hotel has Mickey Mouse on it.

It just brings out the child in you.

We went back to Disneyland in the evening for the fireworks show.
It is supposed to be one of the highlight of the Disneyland visits. However, Daddy Lim needed the toilet right before the show starts and we were amazed at how few and far the toilets are in Disneyland. As I have to carry and entertain the princess, Daddy Lim brought the bag AND THE CAMERA along. -.o" Midway through the fantastic fireworks, Lil Shauna got frightened and started crying. She insisted that we took cover in one of the shops and we all missed the fireworks. Daddy Lim only returned from the toilet when the show was over. -.o"

Finally, we headed back to the hotel to end our long day.

DisneyLand @ Hong Kong

I have decided! We are going to Disneyland in Hong Kong!
We will probably go in March or in April, so that we can spend our 4th wedding anniversary in Hong Kong. Hohohoo. I am one happy mummy. I had been cracking my mind over where to go for our next holiday. I need something to look forward to. DisneyLand, DisneyLand, DisneyLand.

I had actually considered Hong Kong all this while bcos it is only 3.5 hours by flight and there is DisneyLand + Ocean Park. These will keep Lil Shauna entertained. Before the Aussie trip, I had been ambitious and wanted to conquer Korea and Japan but my mindset changed totally upon our returns. I refused to give Lil Shauna more chances to attempt murder on me. But I couldnt make up my mind about Hong Kong until my colleague came back from Hong Kong and commented that Lil Shauna should enjoy DisneyLand.

Mai tu liao. Any cheap package? Hohoho.
