Reporting from HK...

8 Feb (part II)

Touched down arnd 7.10pm in HK. Deardear was a real sport on the plane, onli a little fussy when i strapped her wif me during take-off bcos she can't move around. I love the seats given to us - 31H n J. The seat beside us 31K was empty n we had the whole row to ourselves. I let deardear walk about in front of us. Alan used his leg to block deardear from walking out towards the aisle. She was such a little curiosity cat, took out all the mags n bag from the pouch in tront of us.

Gave deardear the baby biscuits during take-off ( to relieve any ear pressure ). She loves it, but mommi here didn't bring enough for her, onli 2 pieces which she finished very quickly. Alternatives, water n pacifier. Lucky these works too.

As soon as the seat belt sign was off, i unstrapped deardear n myself n asked for the bassinet from air stewardess.
No surprise, it's something new, deardear sit in it happily. And from her vantage position, she can see the other passengers n the happenings in the cabin.

Not longer after, meal was served. As expected, it sparked deardear's curiosity again n she wanted to eat. We gave her some of the rice n she's happy wif it. After finishing the meal, deardear wanted to get out of the bassinet. I got hte air stewardess to remove my tray, so that i can carry deardear.

Apparently, deardear is tired. After 5-10 mins, i managed to coax deardear to sleep in my arms. Then, i placed her in the bassinet. Finally, some rest time for me.

Deardear's 1st time flying - and she sure passed wif flying colours.

Mommi n Daddi r proud of u, my darling!





After going thru immigration/customs, we didn't see the sign for the hotel shuttle service (which i had booked earlier). Nevermind, not going to wait. So, we went to the hotel shuttle service counter at the airport n bought tickets ourselves.

Haiz... turns out there was a traffic jam bcos there were fireworks celebration in town earlier. Ended up we reached hotel at 9.45pm, a 45min delay.

Initially, wanted to bathe deardear b4 going to bed. But since it's oredi so late n i'm not sure how well she reacts to the unfamiliar environment of bathing while standing in the bathtub, so i dropped the idea. Juz wipe her clean n off to bed she goes, of cos not b4 she's had her milk milk n brushed her teeth.

Still not resting time for me tho. I have to unpack all the cooking stuff, all the jars/containers/bowls/utensils...

12am... zzzzzzz......... to dreamland...
