Okay, so we did have some adventures on our recent trip. No pictures to document as things happened just too fast but I'm going to just have these written down in anycase, just so the 2 little ones can read it 10 years later & laugh at themselves, the way I laughed at them.
No.1: Jenson did some balancing act on the bar of the airplane seat, lost his footing and tumbled backwards, hit his head & went bawling. The passenger on the other seat had a shock & I was half apologising to the other party and half rubbing Jen's bua luku that was forming quickly on the back of his head. And, you would think Jen learnt his lesson... well he did for that flight, which was about half an hour more to landing at HKIA. Unfortunately, he was back to jumping up & down on our flight back AGAIN. Fortunately, no mishaps this time round.
No. 2: Please mind the gap. Those who have taken the MTR in HK will be familiar with this announcement. And so my son has to be the ONE to have his foot caught in between the gap. Imagine my initial shock & fright! DW pulled him out quickly and I can only be relieved that this happened at Sunny Bay station, coming from Tung Chung, with hardly a soul entering / exiting the train. This allowed us sufficient time to get our act together quick enough, as we know that train door sensors in HK aren't exactly the best. Which leads us to encounter no. 3.
No. 3: We were rushing for the train at the airport to our gate. Jill ran in 1st, followed closely by DW. But doors closed halfway through though DW's hands were midway (where's the sensor??!!)and which he instinctively retracted his hands, leaving poor little Jill all alone. We watch the doors shut and her shocked face as the train pulled away. We noticed that the plastic bag handles which she was holding on to were still trapped between the doors. (again, where's the sensor??!) I laughed, she will be safe I know. It was only 1 stop and the airport staff had radioed the other side to look out for her. There were quite a few ang mohs in the carriage so she wouldn't have much language barriers. DW didn't think it was funny though, his precious daughter was separated from him. Anyhow, yes, we got on the next train and she was sitting happily on the chair and ran towards us when our train doors opened. She immediately asked us for praises for being a brave girl and said everyone was nice to her on the train and she had chatted with them.
