Brought lil' one and mom to HKG on PSLE marking days. It's been 4 years since I last went on a holiday with mom too!
Chose HKG as I wanted somewhere near since it's only 4 days and another reason is that it's a place where you can go without any itinery, just eat and wat; walk and walk. I can't chiong with lil' grandma coz' she's not a good sightseeing kaki.
Mood is always happy when leaving the country. Mom came and stay over the night before (Saturday) so that we can make our way to the airport together. And since it's Sunday, the man and che-che sent us off at the airport. Before that, a meal at Paradise Dynasty made both girls super happy.
On board
Asked lil' one who she wanted to sit with and she chose grandma. I had to tell mom not to overly care about lil' one's eating since she's big enough that we don't have to fuss over her.
吃了就睡， 像一只小猪猪
Actually I can sleep on the short flight too!
Arrangements and bookings for transportation to hotel were done a month before, so all we needed to do was to wait but after I had collected our MTR cards. Bookings have been made easier with travel booking platform like Klook. To be safe, I had them all printed out in hard copies as well.
Booked a hotel at TTS, a place so fondly remembered. Our hotel is near Kowloon Hotel, that one with the cutey triangular room.
To the supermarket to stock up drystores and makan at 10+pm
15th Oct (Mon)
Since we all settled into the hotel rather late the night before, we woke up later than usual. Anyway with a place like HKG no one will starve. A slow start to the day. Tim sum in the morning at the nearby crew place. However since it was years ago, I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant. It isn't there anymore but in the first floor was Symphony By Jade.
Since we didn't have any itinery except to make a trip down to Wong Tai Sin Temple to pray that the teachers will be blind when it comes to marking her script (mark all her wrong answers as correct; mark all her correct answers as correct) so we made sure we chewed our food slowly. Took a slow walk around the promenade before train-ing down to the temple.
@ Times Square
Dinner or late lunch at 4+pm. Since we had a late brunch and had bubble tea and snacks in between. Our meals were all jumbled up. Hee!
16th Oct (Tue)
Breakfast before Disneyland
Saliva chicken anyone?
Off to Disneyland in a cab. Saw that mom was getting tired easily and limping the day before, decided that we should not stinge on the money and go there in comfort. We also saved time on travelling.
Lil' one was very excited going to the happiest place on earth.
See the look on her face. First thing she did was to walk into this shop. And then we were hanging around, like the Halloween decorations there in Main Street for the next 4hrs, leaving only for a short while. Ha! All because we spent time on queuing for Meet & Greet her fav Duffy friends characters.
Mom and lil' one
Mom by the big friendly pumpkin
Mom didn 't take the ride so she sat at a place waiting for us. I feel so bad...
She told me after the ride. "It's too fast already."
Mom gotta sit by the pavement, waiting for the parade. Meanwhile, a snack before the proper meal as it'll be some time later before we can have a proper meal
Mom the super happy one, waving and clapping. It sure brought out the child in mom.
Meanwhile, lil' one trying to act mature.
Finally! Lunch then went back to Main Street for can't remember who Meet & Greet.
Mom had to follow us walk here and there despite the pain in her legs.
Normally I don't drink Cola but I really needed caffeine to boost myself up. Continuous queuing also tiring leh!
Don't say we never take any rides in Disneyland.
In actual fact, with this lil' grandma who's afraid of rides, Disneyland or any theme parks is not worth the money, she only dared to go on the kiddy ones. #seemyeyesrolling# Mom went in for this kiddy ride too!
So many Tsum tsums. Lucky she never asks to buy
#1 Must take spot. Her butt can't fit the bucket now. Haha!
Bye Disneyland! Happy face on mummy. She had a sad face
Die die also don't let me carry any bags for her. She bought alot of things as if there is no tomorrow
Dinner at a nice Viet eatery near hotel.
After back in hotel, the girls were Facetiming and she showed off what she bought, to the envy of che-che. She exclaimed she should also get one more stuff toy coz they look cute. And che-che also wanted the same handphone case, so I suggested we could try it at the airport since we have another place to go the next day.
But I have mixed feelings deep down in my heart. I know she wants to go back Disneyland again and I didn't want to disappoint her too. You know that feeling of a mummy wanting to pamper her child?
We didn't know we can ask them to sign autograph (I mean usually we just take picture n go) until we saw the people before us doing that. So in an emergency, with her favourite character Gelatoni I couldn't let any chance go and asked her if she wanted Gelatoni to sign on her bag and she was fine with it
While waiting in between, we popped by into the shop again and then I told her I'd get her a book.
Then we started filling up the pages. That's the reason why we spent like 4hrs in that area alone. We queued up like 4 times? Twice for Gelatoni. And she hugged Gelatoni and was really happy.
17th Oct (Wed)
Breakfast at a Macau eatery. Very comforting food. Yet, the 3 of us can't finish these!
Took a cab to Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminal and took a cable car up to Ngong Ping.
Nottie lil' one never pack her cardigan in SIN!! I reminded her time and time again in SIN and even last night to pack, she kept quiet all the time. I was feeling cold coz I had to give her mine! But still tolerable since I have so much blubs
Mom got Buddha in her palm
This is what I mean when I say bringing this girl out for holiday is really troublesome. We barely finished our breakfast an hour ago and she's hungry again! If it’s not snack stop; it’s pee stop, rest legs stop. 🚦 and 🚥. Aiyoh my lil’ grandma.....
Which mom also looked forward too coz she was getting tired
I couldn't even cover the spots!! I was thinking if I should climb up to the top but not that fit myself so might take a longer time. As both of them were tired and sat somewhere waiting for me, I couldn't keep them waiting for long right?
#notmykaki#
We finished this place within 2hrs and since it was early I secretly made a booking to Disneyland again on Klook.
Lil' one excited coz she got her wish of going to Disneyland again. And perhaps a chance to see Shellie May?
Happy Aricia, sad mummy coz it means spending more money
We didn't have luck with Shellie May. She only had 2 sessions on this day, and I couldn't check the day before on the timing. We missed the first one as we stepped into the park at that same time.
The second session, we were hanging around Main Street. But when we went to check on the queue, those people said they were queuing for Duffy. We left and barely 5mins later, I told her to go back again. The guy had to stop the line just at her! Argh! It was that fast!!
So the only chance is to wait near the changing room
She was really happy when I showed her this picture
Mummy 不甘愿 see daughter sad so asked staff if could pass the book to sign. Staff initially refused said I have to come back tomorrow. I explained we had a flight the next day and infact this is our second day here. Then he took pity on this sully looking woman.
I took a video of her signing. Lil' one was so happy when she saw Shellie May kissing her book. Haha!
As SM got out, lil' one got the chance to Hi5 to her.
She's a little satisfied.
Really crazy of me to do this with her, but when you're in Disneyland you need to have patience and energy to chase after characters/ kids running to characters. Maybe she'll stop this in 1-2years. By then I'll be old to run after her also!
As long as she's happy, I'd be willing to do some sacrifice for her.
Her all- time favourite ride. Must always go on this. Oh! And I found another pic of her (2007). The #2 spot
Scaredy cat dare not take the rides here.
Wanted to take pic with Jessie but she's scared of Buzz, which is really strange as she's all grown up now.
Villians Night Out
Hugging one of her bag
Back to the Viet eatery again. Friendly staffs.
Lil' one couldn't wait and facetimed sister to show her off what her gifts were.
If you think that this is all that she bought, you are wrong. We came back with our bags filled to the brim with Disney stuffs.
18th Oct (Thu)
Early in the morning, checking out from hotel and finally arriving at the airport. Last tim sum before going in transit area. Went to the Disney shop one last time for last minute buy.
Settled in for the flight home
She wanted to use her new Shellie May bag immediately, so I told her not to put it on the floor. Used the blanket wrapper to cover her precious bag.
