Day 1 - 26 Jan 2009

A total of 7 days
Departure - SIN/PER QF 72

Its a real hectic day for the 4 of us - Daddy, Mummy, Rachel & myself. Being the 1st day of CNY, we had alot of visiting to do. Our flight was in the evening. So we started off the day with a visit to 舅公. Then onwards to 王伯伯's hse. Next on the agenda is to the temple to pray for a good start to 2009 & also for a safe trip to & fro Australia.

The time was only abt 11.00am. So Daddy took us to Marina Barrage. Mummy didnt bring out the camera. We spent abt 1 hr there & end the trip with water play. We left ard 1.00pm. We went to 太公 & 太婆's place for lunch. Its a yearly affair. They are Mummy's grandparents. We met up with all Mummy's grand aunt, aunties, uncles & cousins. By right we were supposed to go to Granny's place but it was already 3.30pm. 小姑 says we gt to leave home at 4.30pm. Cos her fren told her Qantas is over booked for the next few days so if we only did the check in 2hrs before dep, we might not be able to board the flight. Therefore, its a must to check in early to secure the seats. Our actual checked in time is 5.45pm. Our flight is 7.45pm.

Phew! We gt our seats. We were not offloaded. This happen to 小姑's fren.

Rachel fell asleep even b4 the flight took off & only woke up after the flight landed. She was particularly an easy baby. Mummy was worried dat she wld fidget & fuss but luckily no lor. As for me, the cabin crew gave me a colouring book & a doodle set to keep me occupied.

We reached Perth earlier than scheduled. Mummy told Daddy to declare the milk powder & some medications but the officer said its ok. Those are not neccessary items to declare. However, 小姑's 3 in 1 cereal did not passed the channel & was being confisicated cos well, according to the officer, its erm... can i js say due to country differences, the cereal was made in a country whereby well, maybe Australian Agriculture Authorities do not trust. I dun noe, i say maybe. No offence here. I hope.

Our transport were waiting for us outside. We hv 2 cars sending us all to our apartment. Upon arrival, the recep didnt hv our bookings & we were all like " Huh? Then how? ". 小姑 then saw a sign on the recep counter saying dat our rooms 406 & 504 were not managed by Quest West & so shd not approach them for check in. Since we hv already gt our keys, we can all just go up.

We fell alseep immediately. We are in rm 406 & Ah Ma they all in rm 504. Ours is a 1 bedroom apt & theirs is a 2 bedroom apt. 2moro city tour.
