Boxing Day - From Singapore to Hong Kong

How did I spend boxing day?? Travelling with Mummy & Daddy to Hong Kong. We wake up real early at 7am in the morning to get ready to head out to the airport. We are finally all changed, packed & ready to head to the airport. It is raining heavily this morning, hence Daddy moves his car out of the car porch, so that the taxi is able to come in, & we can load the luggage & ourselves into the taxi without getting wet. Pretty soon, we are on our way to the airport!

We reach the airport around 9.30am, check in the luggage, get our boarding passes, go through immigration, change some Hong Kong currency, then it is off to the gate for boarding. On the plane, we are seated at seats 31D & E, where a bassinet can be put up for me. Before take off, I drink Mummy's milk & fall asleep.

After the plane takes off, a bassinet is set up for me. Mummy puts me inside to sleep. But I am woken up by the baby in the bassinet next to me as she was crying very loudly! Mummy puts me on her lap to watch Cars. After watching for a while, my post-weaning meal arrives. I get to eat before everyone else. My meal consists of salmon with mashed potatoes & finely chopped vegetables. Dessert is caramel cream & I am given a small carton of milk. I ate 60% of the post-weaning meal & Daddy finished the rest of it. Yes, he is hungry! Mummy & Daddy then took turns to eat their meal, so that they can take care of me too. After the meal is over, Daddy takes a nap, while Mummy follows me around as I roam up & down the aisles. Soon, it is time to sit down again as the plane is about to land. I get to drink Mummy's milk again as Mummy says that would help with the air pressure while landing.

After the plane lands, we wait at the walkway for my aprica pram. My pram arrives, but it is wet & damaged! It is wet because it was raining in Singapore & the people there did not put the pram in a plastic bag while loading it onto the plane. Mummy says she is going to make a complain when we get back. As the pram is also damaged, after collecting our checked-in luggage, Mummy goes to the baggage inquiry counter to make a report about the damaged pram. As there is no authorized agent there for aprica, the uncle at the counter told Mummy that he would make a report for her, then back at Singapore, she can refer to the reference number of the report made in Hong Kong, and the Singapore side would send the pram for repair.

With the report done, we head out to find the best way to get to Disneyland Hotel. As the hotel shuttle would cost HK$80 per adult, Daddy & Mummy decides to take the taxi, which would only roughly cost about HK$120 per trip. The taxi ride takes about 20 minutes & pretty soon, we are at the entrance of Disneyland Hotel. The concierge takes our luggage & we proceed to the hotel lobby to do our check-in. With the hotel card key in hand, we head to our room 3043. I check out the room & explore it thoroughly. After our luggage has arrived & my cot -which is actually a playpen- is set up. Daddy & Mummy brings me to the Sorcerer's Lounge for tea.

After Daddy & Mummy have placed their orders, I walk around & explore Sorcerer's lounge while waiting for our food to arrive. Tea break consists of club sandwiches, 'zha jiang mien', coffee & a mocktail. The 'zha jiang mien' & coffee is ordered by Daddy. Thank God, Mummy doesn't forget me & orders food that I can eat. I eat the egg & bread from the club sandwich, & try some of Mummy's mocktail. With full stomachs, Daddy & Mummy decides to explore the place a bit. They learn that there is a hotel shuttle that can take them to Hollywood Hotel & Disneyland.

We hop on the hotel shuttle & go to Hollywood Hotel. We explore the hotel & then hop onto the shuttle again which takes us to bus terminal where Disneyland is. We have to get off the shuttle bus & hop onto another shuttle bus that is heading out to the hotels to take us back to Disneyland Hotel. Back at the hotel, I get to explore the gift shop. Watch me busy shopping around at the gift shop.

Daddy wanted to have dinner at the Crystal Lotus chinese restaurant, but the restaurant is full then & the waiting time for a table is 1/2 an hour!! Hence, Mummy suggests ordering room service & eating in the room instead. On the way back to the room, we pass by the lobby & there is a Santa Claus there, Daddy & Mummy both carry me to take a picture with Santa. After that, it is back to the room. But as I was happy shopping at the gift shop & didn't want to return to the room, I voiced my displeasure by complaining ALL the way from the gift shop back to the room. These are pictures taken of my day. Enjoy!

Back at the hotel room, Daddy & Mummy place their order for room service. Daddy orders the curry rice, while Mummy orders the kids fried rice with seafood cream sauce to share with me, as well as a mushroom soup. I enjoy eating the fried rice & after dinner, it is time for my bath. Mummy bathes me in the bathtub. I stand in the bathtub with the running tap. I get to play with the water while Mummy soaps & washes me clean. Then Mummy towels me dry & applies lots of moisturizer on me. Then I drink Mummy's milk & Mummy tells me to sleep & rest now, so that I'll be ready for Disneyland tomorrow. As I have never been to Disneyland before, I don't know what's in store for me. But as it is a long day for me, I finish drinking Mummy's milk & fall asleep very quickly. And that's the end of my 1st day in Hong Kong.
