Date: 22nd March 2011
We woke up as early as 5.00am to get ready. As this round we were travelling with a toddler with us, making the luggage more and the packing time also longer than usual. I think Kimi knew that he was going for a holiday. Normally he will sleep until 10.00am, but today, he woke up around 5.30am together with us! Haha, what an unusual scene…
The taxi came around 6.30am and we left the house around 6.45am. Our flight was at 9.30am, so we were in time for everything. We had our RM5 breakfast at the KLIA McD… Here, we no need to queue for long. We ordered a cup of Milo and Coffee which cost us RM8++ to entitle for the free sets.

Upon arrival, we bought the MTR tickets from Airport to Hong Kong. Travelling with Group of 4 entitles to buy for the Single Journey Ticket Set which costs HK$250 only. It is much more cheaper than you purchase the tickets individually. Child ticket costs HK$50.
Once we have arrived at the Hong Kong station, we changed our trains to take to Tin Hau station, where we supposed to meet up Grandma’s niece there. We came out from the Exit A and saw her waiting for us there. From Tin Hau station, we walked to the Empire Hotel, Causeway Bay. This hotel was recommended by the Aunt as it was conveniently located nearby the places we planned to go within walking distance and also by public transport.

After checking in and rested for a while, we walked to meet up Grandma’s cousin brother. His shop is located a few streets away from our Hotel. Not very far... This Great-Uncle is one year older than Grandma and he is still very strong! He still walk to his shop to have a look and to meet up his friends for morning tea every day too. We dropped by his shop and house for a while before heading towards the restaurant for dinner.

Grandma had nice chat with Great-Uncle. They have not met up for 40++ years. This was a great reunion for both of them! Great-Uncle has very friendly children too. They met us up in the restaurant to have dinner together.
Grandma was very happy on that night! I can say she is superbly happy… When hubby asked her on her feelings after meeting up her brother, I saw Grandma had some teary eyes. I think she was too happy to express herself on that day. It was really a comfort to us to see Grandma enjoyed herself very much. A very worthwhile trip!

We were suppose to go and see the Symphony of Lights <幻彩詠香江> before back to the hotel. A Symphony of Lights is staged every night at 8:00 p.m. But Kimi and Grandma were both quite tired after the whole day of travelling. Moreover after the dinner, it was almost 9.00pm. We missed out the time to watch the lights. So we decided to go back hotel to rest early for the first night.
