30th September: Changi Airport T3 - Hong Kong Airport - Ma On Shan, New Territories
We booked a van to pick us all up from my flat at 7.15am.. A total of 7 luggages & 7 adults + 2 kids.. Headed to T3 for SQ825 onboard Airbus A380.. My very 1st experience w/ SQ & my very 1st experience onboard a double deck aeroplane! Both Dylan & myself are very excited.. Dylan & Daddy took the window seats while I'm w/ Dyllis @ the bassinet..

After checking into our service apartment.. putting down our luggages.. we had our late late lunch @ a 茶餐厅 in the nearby shopping centre.. 大佬大嫂 ordered a variety of food for all of us to share.. had a bit of almost everything.. from Curry Beef Rice to Fried Beef Kway Teow.. Oh.. Dylan luvs the Pigeon there.. Its indeed tasty! Dylan ate like 4-5 pigeons at 1 go!

Mummy & Joyce gotta go to the bridal shop to try out their gowns.. & since its already like evening.. didn't want to go anywhere far.. so just settled down in the shopping centre.. bought Dylan a new pair of Crocs sandals.. 1stly becoz' his current 1 is a little small & most importantly is becoz' I wouldn't be able to find this Cars design in S'pore.. So I think it's rather special & it's cheaper by about $5-$10! Dylan playing with posing while waiting for Daddy to make payment for his Crocs sandals.


01st October: Hang On, New Territories - Mongkok, Kowloon
We "yum cha" @ the restaurant just in the estate of 大嫂's house.. It was a treat from Aunty Doris.. 2 tables fully seated.. 1 table 50 & above.. & the other for the 20s & early 30s.. Hehe =P We basically had a variety of "dim sum" & some noodles or porridge to go along.. All of us were rubbing our tummies after the meal.. Come to think of it now.. Kinda miss the food there!*drooling*

Seems like nothing much right?! Coz' not a dish can stay for more than 5mins! =P I like the idea of Dylan's porridge in that very old-fashion metal pot.. 2 guys engrossed in the same game but age is so so far apart! Dyllis just woke up from her nap.. all ready for her cereal!

After the makan.. we headed to 大嫂's house as Mummy needs to access to the internet.. afterwhich.. the young ones had programs of their own & I'm always stuck with the "senior citizens".. We went to 花园街 & 人街 to do our shopping.. Got Dyllis 2 bibs.. really a good deal & I luv' it so much coz' its really so big that it can cover her entire body.. A set of pyjamas for baby Chloe.. A Mickey Mouse bag for little Ayden.. Same Ferrari red T for Dylan, Xavier & Aden.. towels & bedsheet/quilt sets for the 3 princesses.. helped Mavis to get bedsheet/quilt sets too! I also bought 1 set for Dylan.. in preparation for CNY 2010! Haha =P I know I'm kiasu but its really cheap! Not forgetting my beloved pjyamas from HK.. I jz luv' their pyjamas so much.. The material is soft & nice.. pretty design & it wouldn't shrink like the ones we bought from our "pasar malem" here in S'pore.. Got 2 sets for my neighbour's kids too.. etc etc.. No photos taken during shopping coz' too busy & engrossed with shopping -_-"

This I call it "The Drunken Roulette"! A bottle of Blue Label, 小麦草, apple juice & mineral water.. They filled the little cups with a mixture of the above.. as they wish.. as they like.. It could be as bad as purely hard liquor & as good as just mineral water.. The cups are all indicated with 2-3 numbers.. they will have to drink the cup with the number that the ball landed on.. & this is how it goes...


02nd October: Wan Chai, Central
Elvin & I brought Dylan to Central for a ride of Hong Kong's 电车 & the double deck bus w/o roof.. It was an eventful day for Dylan & he certainly enjoyed himself.. & this is also the only day just for a family of 4! The 电车 ride was a rather short one.. coz' we gotta alight so that we can catch the double deck bus w/o roof that will bring us to The Peak..

It's a super duper tiring day for us.. as we almost walked the entire Central! From MTR to the 电车站.. from where we alighted to where we boarded the double deck bus.. that journey is a long long 1.. its in fact not very far.. but the road is all blocked.. so we have to make a big turn.. After the bus ride.. we headed back to Ma On Shan Plaza.. the shopping centre near to our service apartment.. a simple dinner celebration for Popo whose actual birthday falls on that day!

@ the East Rail Line After the 电车.. we arrive at the Statue Square The Court in HK @ Central Station That's what I'm talking about! The double deck w/o roof.. @ the bus stop waiting patiently On the upper deck The Bus No. is 15C 咖哩鱼蛋 for me & sausages for Dylan Behind Dylan as background is the Central Pier Dylan wants to go to Hollywood Road Daddy likes Shanghai Street

03rd October: Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon
Today is 中秋节 & also the BIG day for both 大佬大嫂! It's also the day that Uncle Nelson, Aunty Joann & Uncle Simon arrived in Hong Kong.. They touched down at 3pm.. after all the checking-out & collection of luggages.. they reached our Service Apartment @ 4+.. They missed the fetching of bride & tea ceremony in the morning.. But no worries.. I have plenty of photographs for them..

Dyllis is so happy in the hands of Popo Leon toasting to 大佬大嫂 Elvin & Myself toasting to 大佬大嫂 The reception An overview of the banquet settings Our RED tableMahjong Session before the dinner commences.. Exactly like in the TV Dylan says:"Cheeze!"

Doesn't Mummy looks great?! All of us from S'pore.. Relatives & friends A bunch of fun-loving brothers & sisters! Dylan singing <分分钟需要你> especially for "Pretty Kim-kim" The 3 Beauties!

Gong-gong w/ 2 grandchildren Went for desserts jz below our Apartment after the banquet.. What we've ordered?!

04th October: Macau
It's a planned day to Macau.. also my 1st time there! We took the 11am ferry & the journey is no more than an hour.. a 2-way ferry ticket cost approximately S$40 per pax.. So I spent $160 on ferry tickets for myself, hubby, Dylan & Rini(maid).. Not cheap right?! =( But its worth paying for it.. Coz' Macau is a beautiful place.. A place where dreams are realised!

The Ferry to Macau Onboard the ferry

Then we transferred to take the shuttle service to Venetian Hotel.. 1 word to describe - GRAND! A night @ Venetian Hotel cost S$350.. Its on the steep side.. However if you can afford.. I would recommend to pay for it & experience a night there! You will not regret! =)

05th October: Mongkok, Kowloon - Causeway Bay,Hong Kong Island
Woke up rather late on this day, as we arrived back our apartment slightly before 1am the night before.. after settling the kids.. went to bed probably at 2am.. Waited for brother.. to help out sending aunty uncles' luggages to Royal Plaza Hotel @ Mongkok..
