Time Not Enough!!

After a huge struggle within myself, considering the possible effects and danger it may impose on my baby; I finally made up my mind to travel for one last time before the arrival of Junior.

Well, it's not like my current condition will allow me to be on long-haul flights. So, the potential destinations of travel would be HONG KONG - 4hrs, BANGKOK - 2hrs, KL - 1hr. To pick one out of these places should be as easy as a piece of cake.. Of course it's Bangkok, cheap and good! Yeah, I did enjoyed my last trip to Bangkok, and swore that I will go back anytime soon.

Mummy would love Bangkok as much as I do, I can guarantee that. However, luck wasn't with us and the protest outbreak at the Bangkok Airport caused us to drop the idea of flying there. Darn! KL sound pretty attractive and safer than Hong Kong when cases of bird flu are still spreading there. Hence, we booked ourselves onto a flight to KL on the last day of 2008.

It was mummy's first time on a plane, and she was excited most definitely.. but then, shortly after, it was discomfort that took over her excitement. Maybe it was the air pressure up into the sky that made her giddy and a little nauseous, or maybe it was her non-stop fidgety looking out of the window that caused it. Luckily, the flight took less than an hour to land in KL.

Auntie Lucy and her husband were already waiting for us at KLIA airport, and boy, they were impatient enough waiting 1 hr for us! My auntie was all dolled up, ready to party away the last day of 2008, and we were dragged along with it. The place my auntie brought us was not a big pub, and people were smoking everywhere! It was a night of 2nd-hand smoke for me and Junior, and by the end of the night, my eyes were almost thin as a line..

I had prepped mummy of the massive shopping that is bound to take place, but then it end out to be a disappointment. Lots of time were spent in my auntie's house, waiting for everyone to get ready. My cousins - 3 of them, my auntie, me and my mum took turns to shower. That alone already took a long, long time. Plus my auntie's house was not very near any of the shopping malls, and car rides were all 40 mins and more.

First day shopping at Sungei Wang & BB Plaza - 2 pairs of shoes for myself, and 1 pair for mummy. Mani & pedicure done, and mummy bought what she came to KL for, 2 belts and 6 shimmer eyeshadow colours. Being a nice cousin from the faraway SG, I paid for 2 pairs of shoes which my twin cousins took a fancy to. All these done with my auntie's husband and cousin Lawrence tagging along.

Told my auntie that I need to get my makeup supplies from Isetan @KLCC, and also to take this chance to show mummy this mega, mega mall. She got her hubby to drive us there on the 3rd day, coz she doesn't know the way there. Blimey, she drives in KL doesn't she?!!

Grabbed about RM300+ worth of makeup and skincare essentials, and also some baby rompers for Junior and Joelle at Isetan. Auntie Lucy insisted on buying those for the baby girls, so I let her be. It felt so terrible when I didn't get a chance to step foot into my 3 of my fave shops in KLCC - Topshop, Mango and Zara!! And Mango was having an 'Up to 70% off' sale!! All because of a man tagging along and auntie claimed we have no time, as they were planning to go to the pub again at night.

Not wanting to be a victim of 2nd-hand smoke, I declined their offer to go and stayed at home with my 2 cousins. Me, the eldest girl with the two 14yr-olds, watched TV, ate doughnuts and jelly while chatting the night away til the adults got back reeking of alcohol! Eeeeeeeeeee..

Last day was spent rather fruitfully, at the market place near my auntie's house, the nearby neighbourhood mall and lastly, dinner at the restaurant. We bought all the cookies and delicatseen, and shopped a last round at Jusco. Still, time was not enough!!

My auntie decided to get her hubby to send us to the airport, and the journey took like an hour! Really long a journey, and the ridiculous part, the whole family didn't send us off; they basically 'dropped' us off at the pickup and drop-off point.

Can't imagine my auntie telling us that they have never been inside KLIA Airport, and yet she didn't want to get her husband to park the car and come in for a while. Sighzzz..

Anyway, took pictures before we left on our flight and I was estatic when I saw Harrods inside the transit hall. Still can't get over the agony of missing out on the Harrods shop in London..

There is an interesting part of our arrival back to Changi Airport, which shall be told in my next post due to TIME NOT ENOUGH now!! Hahahaha..
