2010 Trip - Day 1 Kuala Lumpur and Day 2 Hong Kong

We were home exactly two weeks ago and we had like about three weeks vacation. As usual, time flies, we have been home for exactly two weeks and I just had time to view all the pictures.

We booked this AirAsia tickets like months before the trip, maybe somewhere in December for 5 millions Rupiah or about USD 550 (3 seats, Medan - KL - HK - KL - Medan). We actually didn't plan for this trip, it was all started when my aunt asked us to go with them to HK and Xiamen in June (school holidays). Of course I were interested to join (it's always fun to go with them), but then it's gonna be very hot at that time. Mr. scared that we won't be able to handle Dave as honestly Dave doesn't like hot (who does?) and can get very grumpy and hard to handle. Thus, we decided to go in April after the "cheng beng" festival.

Well, we believe that it's better to keep it as a secret for the things that is still way to long to get done. Thus, we never talked about this trip until now... lol...

Day 1: Medan - Kuala Lumpur
We had an evening flight from Medan to Kuala Lumpur, stayed one night at SIL's place (Thanks SIL ^^). Mr doesn't like to have connecting flight as he thought that the risk is too high.

Day 2: Kuala Lumpur - HK
It's a 4 hour flight flom KL to HK and it wasn't fun at all to fly with budget airlines as there are no free foods and drinks. LOL... and we had turbulence all the time. It was already 5.30 pm when we got our luggages in the airport. Later on we took the airport express train to Hong Kong Station and took a cab to brother-in-law's (BIL) place. In the beginning, we planned to stay at my aunt's place in Sai Wan Ho; we didn't plan to stay at BIL's place as we thought that he had moved back to Sydney. Apparently, it's extended till mid of May. So, lucky us.... (Thanks BIL...)

In the Airport Express Train...


We had to cover Dave with the blanket while we were waiting for the taxi at Hong Kong Station. The queue was extremely long and the taxi were taking so long....



Later at night, we didn't do much. We paid a visit to my aunt's place and had a little chat with uncle-in-law and their 2 daughters. Hoho... My cousins don't really talk in English or Chinese, and I don't really talk in Cantonese... SO, the communication was really out.... My uncle-in-law does talk in "Hai Lok Hong" dialect that I could understand a little bit...


We had our late dinner at Cafe de Coral and we ordered seafood bake rice with Hot milk tea...

Family Trip Part I (KL - Famosa - KL)

Our flight to Bangkok is at 4.30 in the afternoon. Technically, we cannot do much today as we need to go to the airport at about 1 something, just in case for bad traffic. So, I decided to sit down and update my blog. We did go out for breakfast at Taipan Mc. D. Yeah, I love Mc. D breakfast. I love muffin. And it seems like I couldn't find muffin in Medan. Or anyone have idea where I can get the muffin in Medan?

We departed last Saturday with Dave. Dave is absolutely a great baby that you can bring along everywhere. He slept all the way in the plane. No nagging. Nothing. The first 2 days in KL were great. We went to Sunway Pyramid on Sat, and Mid-Valley on Sunday. Things really changed. Lots of new wings in every shopping complex. I can see lots of differences in 2 years time.

On the third day, we went down to A'Famosa at Melaka. We supposed to stay for 3D/2N, and after that went to Genting for another 3D/2N. Once arrived in Famosa, we checked-in to the hotel. Then we went to the water park for lunch. It's extremely hot in there. After that we went back to the hotel for a nap. Well, basically there is no activity during day time except for the water park. In the evening, we went back for the Red Indian Show. When the show is over, it's quite late already. Once we reached the hotel, Dave was crying all nite long, and reluctantly to enter the room. Everytime we step into the room, he kept crying. Thus, Mr. decided to change the room. We got our room changed, but then the room is not that clean. Dave could sleep in the room, but he started to get fever. We didn't sleep for the whole night, and we decided to go back KL in the next morning.

In the evening, we went for the doctor, and the doctor said that the fever was caused by the virus. The doctor gave us the prescription, but then Dave's fever still keep coming back every day early in the morning. The doctor said that it's normal, as the virus will attack when there is no activity. Grandparent worried and asked me to bring back Dave to Medan. So, we flew back to Medan on Sun, and I came back alone here for the trip to Bangkok. We couldn't cancel the trip to Bangkok anymore as everything is booked already. So, Dave stays with grandparent in Medan. Miss him...
