Malacca Trip Day 1

YAY!! Its finally our long awaited family holiday! And its the children's first trip after getting their passports. Although its not the first family trip, but its the first time we have the 3 grandchildren, Ashton, Ashley and Nathan on the same trip and Ashley and Nathan have not even turned 1 year old yet.

The arrangement in the morning was a little miscommunicated as the plan was to go to yeye's house at 9am (we reached about 9.10am) but Daddy told them 8am the previous night. And he told Siyi to leave only when he gets the sms so that we could coordinate the timing. Anyway, we quickly gobbled the beehoon that Mah Mah bought for us. Then Ashton took Yeye's car and Ashley and maid were in our car.

The journey to Malacca was pretty ok. We made a stop at Pagoh where the children had their porridge and the adults have a quick lunch. There were so many people at the rest points and we suspected that a lot of the Singaporeans were on route to Malacca. Guessed it's the few safer places where Singaporeans like to go (since JB is no longer viable).

As we continued our journey, we got a call from Siyi that they were stuck at Malacca for 2 hours and were still waiting! OMG, hopefully we could avoid the traffic. Unfortunately, the traffic was still as bad when we arrived at Malacca. Luckily, Siyi has already reached the hotel using a slightly roundabout route and told us to take that. So although it was slightly longer but at least we were moving.

FINALLY, at about 3+pm (think it was probably nearer 4pm) we reached our hotel! Wow, it was great to be able to lie down on the bed and relaxed for a while. The children started their bolster 'fight' the moment we checked into our room.

Ashley exploring the room, started to open every single drawer.


Ashton using the cot as a fortress! Meimei trying to 'attack'. See the bolster and pillow all over the room.


Meimei decided to walk away, found a better place to play.


Meimei decided that the bed was more comfy :)

Ashton 'surrendered', decided to lie on the floor. Lost his bolster.

Papa brought Ashton out to the shopping mall next to the hotel so that I could take a rest and packed the children's stuff in the hotel. Our room was a comfy Equator Club room with two balconies. Plus, it was a great idea to bring our helper along, highly recommended!
