Grandpa, Grandma, Jiu-Jiu, Auntie Grace, Auntie Veron and Jie-Jie Vivien went to the airport to send me off that evening. Everyone was really excited because it was my first time taking an aeroplane. All of them were telling me to be good on the plane... and Grandma kept praying for me too.
Mummy was also anxious, wondering how I would behave during the flight, especially because she was all by herself without anyone to help her if I were to be naughty.
The flight was at 9pm, but due to engine problems, we had to change an aircraft and our flight was further delayed to 12am! Oh no... Mummy and I were definitely tired! Mummy decided to carry me in her sling because I became cranky - signs that I was sleepy. And Mummy was right, I fell soundly asleep. Mummy told me later she carried me and sat down to wait till it was time to board. And I didn't even know when the plane took off! Of course, Mummy was happy and relieved. She said the delay was a blessing in disguise.
In the plane, she placed me in the bassinet and I continued sleeping and sleeping for the next 7 hours! Finally Mummy woke me up and told me we have touched down in Melbourne. It was Sunday, 930am when we arrived in Australia.
