Our Family Holiday

Its our 1st family holiday and also Zenith's first time on the plane. Celeste was expecting the SIA plane and was looking forward to the TV game and kids meal on board.

But then! We are taking the budget airline! So i brought my own laptop to provide her with entertainment on board.

It was really draining on the plane, Zenith wriggled like a worm throughout the 3.5 hrs and didn't sleep a wink. He was really tired as its past his bedtime, but couldn't get to sleep because of the umcomfortable position, his missing bolster, Celeste was really distracting, till he cried and asked to go "upstairs" referring to his room! Oh gosh, that was a hard one. So noisy, it took awhile to pacify him.
The kids will have their warm dose of milk before we leave the hotel.

We had our breakfast here this morning, serving glutinous rice, soya bean drink etc. Cheap & Nice!


We put up @ Haifu Hotel. A chic hotel with modern facitilies with free internet access in the room.

One of the chinese restaurant located behind our hotel, serving a small selection of live seafood. The children checking the live seafood.

Check out these live Optupus


Its day 2 here, the children do get really emotional at times, being tired and miss home. Celeste said she wanted to go home, she asked for Popo too. Weather is nice and cool and do get alittle chilly at times. We went shopping today @ Luohu Shopping Complex, i bought many childrens' clothings but they are not cheap! I concluded i really don't like bargaining games & i'm not good with the tactics too. I just gave in to them! I prefer Retail Pricing where the price tag is on! Bargaining in China is so tiring, somehow i prefer shopping in HK. I dont quite like to deal with these chinese :O

Road condition is really scary, the taxi drivers drive real fast and reckless with lots of hornings. Each time we take the taxi, it's always a roller coaster ride, really exciting! Traffic accident rates must be high! Today i just came across this lady's pet dog that was knocked down by a taxi and she was wailing on the floor with the injured dog! What a scene. Overall, its tiring for the both of us but we are taking it slow & easy on this trip. Lots of rest time in the hotel!
