Our Vacation to Hong Kong - 24th Oct 06

Mummy & Daddy finally had time to update the blog. We are going to share with you our recent vacation trip to Hong Kong. Mummy and daddy had planned this vacation early this year in which Hong Kong was chossen due to Disneyland. Initially we wanted "por por" and "ah mah" to join us but "por por" leave application was rejected and "ah mah" wanted to rest during our absence. :-)

We were all very excited prior to this trip because it was our first time travelling as a family. This means that daddy and mummy had to count on themselves to handle both of us. :-) I am not sure how they are going to deal that but that's their problem. For me, disneyland is my dream and now we are finally going there.

See photo below. In the taxi on our way to airport terminal 2 and posing with our lugguage!

Actually we intended to arrive airport early so that mummy can explore and do some shopping in the airport but don't know what happened to our schedule and we were practically rushing to the departure gate. Daddy told me the flight to HK was free as he uses his milleage from his krisflyer account. Wow! SQ lei. I never take SQ plane and mummy also long time never travel on plane since one and half years ago. Anyway, this is the beginning of our journey and can't wait to share more . . .

I got a seat to myself and daddy told me the total flight time was about three and half hours. Not too bad for me as i have cartoons shows to accompany me all the way. I watched "Car" and like the show very much. Mummy also very "sua ku" and watched the movie "Click". Before this trip, daddy went to Auckland and keep recommending mummy this movie. Daddy said it was funny and touching at the end. Haa ! since mother and daughter now enjoying the flight entertainment, it left with with daddy to take care of didi. As usual, didi was active and keep moving around. Luckily he fall asleep after "milk milk" time and we all enjoyed this peace time especially it was our meal time. I can see mummy and daddy so happy on their faces.

The food was so-so and whole flight was very smooth and pleasant. Thank God for that!


We arrived HKG at around 2 plus in the afternoon. We had a short break for refreshments and suddendly daddy spotted this little girl dressed as "snow white". So cute and i thought to myself if daddy is going to get one for me at disneyland.

After the break, we took the shutter bus from airport to Cathay City. We are heading to this hotel called Headland Hotel. Again i was told this loddging is free again. This hotel room belongs to grand auntie Vera. She works for Cathay Pacific and had booked this room for her long stay there. Well after checking into the room, we were all shocked and amazed at the way things are being placed inside. The feeling was like a home to us.

Anyway, it was already 4 pm and we are ready for our first destination, Victoria Peak!

We took a bus to Tung Chung MTR and had our dinner there. In order not to waste too much time, we decided to have a quick dinner at MacDonald there. We arrived at Central MTR station and mummy and daddy started to stared at the map and wonder which direction to go. For me, i am already tired and decided to take over the pram and sleep. Mummy was carrying didi then.

The walk to the Tram station was a long one as daddy and mummy were walking and walking and asking for direction. After some time of UP and DOWN, we finally reached the Tram station and took the Tram upwards to the peak.

The view on top of the Peak was fantastic and windy. I was quite tired by then and don't really enjoy it. Only daddy was happily taking photos of mummy & didi. After the phototaking session, they decided to take a taxi back to hotel. Well . . . it was a expensive ride back and it cost daddy about HKD300 ! ! ! Mummy keeps nagging about the expensive ride but daddy say that it is impossible for him to go thru the UP and DOWN walk to Central MTR and another 30 minutes back to Tung Chung . . . Well that was our first day in HKG. :-)

To be continued . . .
