Ethan way home....

We woke Ethan up early in the morning so that we can catch the 8.10am morning flight. Luckily, Ethan didn't wail due to not enough sleep. We told him that he will be taking the flight. It was windy in the morning and according to the weather forecast, tomorrow and CNY in Shanghai will be cooler than today.

Airport already full of people when we arrived. Luckily daddy is the Singapore Airlines Gold member so we can check-in at the business class counter. Only Ethan was the one who have had his milk as breakfast but not for his parent. So we quickly went to have breakfast in Singapore lounge. Before we enter the lounge we have to go through the custom to stamp our passports. Ethan liked to press the service level indicator at the custom counter. We need to wait to go through the scanning and kids like Ethan do not need to take off his winter coat. Adult has to. Ethan was curious about the "beep beep" sound of the scanning gate. When it was his turn, he hoped that the beep beep sound will sound when he passed through but it didn't so he stood beside the gate and wondered why no sound for him. His mouth kept on sounding out the "beep beep" sound. Then he walked to stand on the platform and hoped to be scanned. The scanner lady saw his action and scanned him. Not only that the lady also let Ethan played with the metal detector. This cheeky boy thought that got sound is a good thing. Yup daddy had sounded because daddy forgotten to bring out the keys from the pocket.

We quickly entered the lounge. We met our friends in there as we have the same flight back to Malaysia. Ethan did not really eat the food there and he only take some ham and juice there. He was still full.


Ethan tried to lock himself up with the safety belt on the seat. This round the stewardess didn't provide mummy another belt so that Ethan can be tied together with mummy during the flight departure. Ethan did grow up lot compared to when he first took the flight. Later part, Ethan played with the TV/radio remote control. Ethan, he has his own kid version of headphone. It was so colorful compared to his parent. This round Ethan managed to witness with his own eyes when the flight take off. The first time was in the night time so he did not see much.


The air stewardess gave Ethan the activities pack to play. Ethan played the puzzle with daddy during the flight. Daddy forgot to order the kid menu for Ethan so Ethan had to eat the same foods as we adult and it was also very late compared to the other kids. Nevermind as Ethan already had another round of milk when the airplane departed. Ethan didn't take the meal on the plane and he only drank the soya milk provided on this flight. He was still very full.


After having pee, changed the diaper and explored the plane for a few hours, finally Ethan slept at 11 something. We let him laid down between our seats.

We reached Singapore at 1 something PM and we quickly gone to have our lunch. Parents really missed the Nasi Kandar. We ordered Burger King chicken nuggets for Ethan. After that we headed to the Singapore lounge again as daddy want to synchronize the email. We took off all our winter clothing as it was hot in Singapore. This cheeky Ethan boy ran here and there in the lounge and mummy had hard time trying to chase him. Ethan met one of the caucasian in the lounge and Ethan said "hi" to him. The man fedback with the nice word like he likes Ethan T-shirt and also told mummy that Ethan is a handsome boy. In order to comfort Ethan not to run all over the lounge, mummy had to take some snacks for Ethan.

One funny thing we saw when we wanted to take the flight again was one of the family had to finish the whole box of birdnest drink before they can enter the flight. Finally we safely arrived in Penang at 5 something.

Ethan had thrown tantrum after he passed through the custom counter. He wanted to walk back inside the airport again. He cried like hell and we have to use the hard way to pull him out from the airport. He still did not settle down after entering the house and he refused to walk down from taxi when we arrived at our house. The boy had spoilt his parents' mood... Hmmm....
