A trip to Hong Kong

Time flies. 18 days of journey to HK came and went so quickly. I'm still so fascinated by everything in HK...the MTR, the number of people on the street, the shops, the noise, and most importantly, my families and friends. I met my grandparents, relatives, and many best friends of my parents in Hong Kong. I miss them ALL and wish we could meet more oftenly. Maybe I should pray that the flight to HK could be shorter. I was so excited on the flight as there were remote controls, different buttons, and TV screen I could play with. I refused to sleep and eat on the plane and it made my parents miserable...hahaha.

It happened to be Chinese New Year when we visited HK, and I got a lot of RED POCKETS! Mom taught me some tricks such as "請請" and "笑", and these tricks worked GREAT to get college fund.

For the first time, I met my grandparents of my mom's side in HK... My grandma spoiled me by giving me candies at the airport!!! Although my grandpa is in the hospital, I still got to see him several times in the lobby. I hope he is getting better soon. :( My 2 uncles took me everywhere to see Lanterns and fishes...PLUS a kids' place to ride trains... SO MUCH FUN!!!

We stayed with my grandparents of dad's side in Tsuen Wan...and there I spent a lot of time with my dad's parents. My grandma cooked a lot of good food/soup for me and grandpa bought me toys to play with. It made my trip so colorful!

All these, are so unforgettable. But I think I'll forget everything by next week.

Hawaii cruise

I just came back from Hawaii with my parents and the big family!!!

About the cruise to Hawaii...um...it was FUN!!! Dad & Mom agreed that I behaved much much better than expectation. As I passed this test, I was allowed to go HK with my parents for Chinese New Year.

I was overjoyed the moment we walked into the room as there was a big mirror on the wall. The baby in the mirror laughed as I laughed. It was so much fun.

For some reason, I knew it was a 'vacation' and vacation = happiness. I was just EXCITED through out the whole trip. I especially loved the beach time. I wasn't afraid of waters at all. Although I put everything in my mouth, I knew sands weren't edible and I didn't even try to taste it. So, mom just let me play freely on the beach.

We went to a scenic turtle beach in Kona. In order to attract turtles, I dressed like a turtle. It worked. Daddy encountered 3 turtles in the waters. Mom didn't let me swim as the water was a little bit cold. So i just disguised as a turtle playing on the rocks. Dad & Mom saw so many exotic fishes in the sea. I couldn't see them 'coz I couldn't dive. But they took me to the Maui Ocean center to see them instead. They're soooo colorful. I've seen so much things that I could only see in books before.

We also joined a whale watching tour in Maui. However, I missed the whales as I fell asleep on the boat. If I didn't fall asleep, I would have spoken the whale language like Nemo to attarct more whales. Since I fell asleep, they only saw 3 whales. Too bad...

Other than beaches, we also toured the valconoes in Hilo and the waterfall + canyon in Kauai. But I fell asleep most of the time. So, I missed most of the views. Napping is very important to me. You know. It's more important than valcanoes, waterfalls, or canyon.

 
 
 

My first trip

The past weekend was the most adventurous time in my life...as I traveled to Galveston with Dad & Mom!!! For a 3 days journey, Mom packed my whole room to go - a travel play yard, my favorite bedding set, tons of toys, stroller, milk, food...well, you name it, she brought it. The back row and the trunk of our car were full of my belongings.

The beach house we stayed was a very decent place landing on sea water. The balcony, where all the EEs and Uncles fished, had a picturesque view. It was also where I observed the nature - fishes, seagulls, bugs, waters, boats... It was such a rewarding field trip that I actually encountered what I read from books only!!! The only disappointment was that Dad forgot to wake me up to go crabbing at 3AM, so he brought me to a dirty beach the next day. Yet, I had fun playing with sea water, first time ever. Mom said they'll bring me to Aruba next year if I behave!

契姨 gave me the biggest room to stay and I had a wonderful sleeping time. Thanks to all the uncles & EEs who tried very hard to keep the volume low. Mom was sooo surprised that I could actually nap and sleep over night in new environment like that. Mom was initially so anxious about this trip, but I behaved better than she expected other than constant screaming in the car! Also, with the amusing entertainment provided by so many EEs and Suks Suks, I had lots of fun while Dad & Mom could enjoy themselves. My favorite entertainer is...Norman Suk Suk!!!

Talking about food, while everyone had dim sum, egg tarts, HK milk tea, 蟹宴, 杧果+益力多...I also had 契姨's mom's Chicken Scallop congee and May EE's fish soup. They were 10+ times yummier than Gerber's sweet peas in my opinion.
