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.

3 days of Disney Magic
We had a blast!
Day 1
We got on the plane (as per Jill: ca-thay pa-fi-sic, we are still trying to correct her on this) and 3hrs 50 mins later, we arrived in Hong Kong. Took the transport to Disney Hotel, dumped our luggage, freshened up and rushed down to Disneyland, just in time to take photos with the various characters, played Dumbo & Winnie the Pooh, dinner & then fireworks! It was a hectic day & we crashed into bed at about 11pm.
Day 2
Slept in a little today as the Park only opens at 10am. Took our time with our buns in the room, then wandered round the hotel a while. It was windy & chilly. But it was good. For people living in hot Singapore, we welcome a little cold with a long sleeve shirt and a sweater. Perfect weather! No queuing in sweltering heat made the day alot more pleasant. The queues were manageable and most rides we got away with at most 10 mins of queueing. The worst ones was probably at Autopia and Slinky Dog where we waited for about 30 mins but that's still considered okay by my standards.
Jilliane had a field day with the rides and a bonus to her was when the gorgeous prince kissed her hand. Oh yes, he was so handsome that even mom and I swooned. Needless to say Cinderella quickly became Jilliane's favourite princess.
Staying in Disney Hotel was simply a fab idea! It didn't come cheap, but at least it allowed me to have a Disney experience for the 1st time in my life, complete with Disney bedtime stories and Disney breakfast.
Day 3
And so for Princess Make over, she naturally chose Cinderella. She was damn damn excited about the whole make over process, the make up, the nail painting, the dress, the tiara and all! This is like every little girl's dream come true!
It has been 3 weeks and Jilliane has the memories still firmly etched in her mind. Everyday it's always, "mummy, i want to go disneyland again. I want to sit the small boat and see the baby dolls. I want to sit dumbo. I want to go round and round in the teacup. I want to sit in the dog and chase the tail. I want.. blah blah blah." It just goes on & on. Oh, but she hates the Light Buzz Year ride. Says she's scared of the monsters!
And yes, I tell her we will definitely visit Disneyland again soon, when didi is old enough to join us. Or if she's lucky enough, I may just decide that both mother and daughter will tag along when Dw is in Tokyo for his worktrip and we will head out to Disneysea & Sanrioland! Yipee! Can't wait!
