Che che prep trip

Going China with uni friends. Something that was in the pipeline since a year as they await for friends to graduate. 

It must be really fun to be on a trip, a group of kiddies in their 20s, a memory engraved in them. I wish I was daring to go on trips with my friends when I was her age. In actual fact at her age, I preferred to travel solo.

Che-che although can be like me when we come to travelling, but when it comes to packing it’s different. I would have brought things out to pack at least a week before OR maybe coz I was packing for 3 people I needed to make sure I don’t miss anything out so bringing them out and putting them aside will help me. 

4th Apr (Fri)

She took down luggage from the BS 4 days before the trip then saw the wheel’s rubber came off. Asked me what to do? Haha! As if I’m a magician, I don’t even have any spare new wheels at home. She asked dua-kim if can borrow her luggage. Then she suddenly remembered she was going to meet C, no way I was going to help her collect the luggage. 自己要的东西给她自己做。

Don’t know why but it didn’t cross my mind. 🤣 In the night I was thinking maybe if I can switch the wheels from her luggage to lil’ one’s then she didn’t have to borrow. I was worried if China or SIN luggage handlers will spoil SIL’s luggage or worst a lost luggage. 很难跟她交代。

5th Apr (Sat) 

At 2.46am  (yah slept late) I ordered wheels then thought I could change her wheels today

Brought down her luggage and changed the two wheels. The wheels will arrive on the day of her departure, by the time she gets back I can fix two new wheels on lil’ one’s luggage. 

At night she asked for her camera. Haven’t operated her camera for a very long time so can’t remember how to put the batteries and SD card in. Haha!

So cute lor! Why digital camera? iPhone has better resolution now. But I didn’t want to ask her, maybe she’s the designated photographer? 

While charging the batteries, I took the lanyard out to wash. 

6th Apr (Sun)

Reminded her that she has Go Pro. Dunno why she doesn’t want to bring that instead. Oh well! She’s not as crazy as her mom who needs to carry camera and video camera 🤣, only short of a lighting lamp, on our holidays last time. 

2 batteries charged. Asked if she needed the multiple USB 🔌 as I was taking out the plug for the battery charger. 

Was testing this 

Then saw this in the card dated April 2012, 13 years ago. Must be the time when I bought this camera for her that we tested it in the shop before making payment. 

The wheels

The wheels arrived on the 7th! But she has already packed her stuffs in. Aiyah! I will do it when she’s back. Who knows if by then the wheels would have been slightly damaged and I might end up changing all the wheels for both luggages. 

8th Apr - her flight early in the morning. Goodbye and enjoy yourself girl! All excited to travel with her this group of friends.
