1st overseas trip

Destination: Bangkok, Thailand. 7 to 10 July 2009.

The flight was at 7.10am, so we were up by 4.15am and out by 5am. Ezra got up for milk and didn't go back to sleep as I have hoped. It was difficult to get him seated during the flight, thank God the seat beside me was empty so we had a little more space to let him fidget.


















We were beat when we got there and I had to pump, so we got out for a late lunch and headed back in again for a nap. We managed to drag ourselves out for dinner while MIL and 5th auntie went shopping. I sneaked a massage after Ezra went to bed that night, at 10pm! He only napped twice for 30 mins each time during the day. Man! Was I tired out taking care of him!

I decided we should let Ezra take a dip in the pool so that he'll be tired and take a longer nap. He loved the water! He was squealing in delight and frantically kicking his feet in the water! When he got up, it was cold so he kinda turned blue!! It was so scary! Thanks to Daddy to gave him some body warmth :)
And I was right, he did take a longer nap after the swim! yippie! I do wish there is a pool ready whenever he doesn't wanna sleep, so I can drug him with a swim!


































The next day, we headed to the Ocean World at Siam Paragon. It was a rather small place for a large entrance fee! On Thursday, we met up with Bro Johnny and family to celebrate Sis Lydia's birthday over lunch. Next on the schedule was dinner with Sis and Kelvyn. We took a very long walk to the restaurant but was treated with very yummy food... the highlight was the S$100 
8 tiger prawns which we finished! hah!


































On the last day, we did more swimming and some shopping. We had lunch at tallest building in Bangkok. The view was wonderful!

I had hope for more shopping but we were so tired! Heng had to carry Ezra all the time because it was difficult to push the stroller on the uneven roads and we practically only walked to our destinations. We had to take turns to eat because the baby chairs in Bangkok do not have harnesses or a tray to prevent the child from falling off... and knowing how fidgety my boy is, I am very sure he wouldn't last 2 minutes in it.

Washing his bottles were a chore because i had to use distilled water and the sterilizing tablet. His sleeping and napping schedule when all hay-wired... and he didn't eat and drink his milk as well as when he was back home. So everything was kinda topsy turvy.

And what better way to end the trip with a beautiful rainbow across the horizon in Bangkok?


















Having said all these, I think i'm ready for my next trip already! Penang from 7 to 10 Oct, here I come (to celebrate my 28th birthday with family and lots of yummy food)!
