Ezra's First Flying trip

Hmm, I had this post in draft and it looks half completed so I think I better just post it up lol.
So that I revive this blog hahahaha, yes I like to change things around heh. He had his first road trip back to Malaysia but that period is sooooooooo long over the Chinese New Year and I don't think I have the time to update...
This one's relatively short and it's still fresh off the top of my mind. He's about to be 4 months soon.
Hokai, let's make it short and simple
Thursday, 30th April
And we lift off! Well not yet. I took the entire day off so that we can do last minute packing, for as however much as we can remember sleep deprived. I must say we are rather light with two half empty suitcases and his nappy bag. It's all for the breastfeeding really. No need for bottles and I choose not to bring my pump this round. The airport trip from one end to the other was rather long but little one was ok in the cab, costed about $30 odd dollars though.
We flew Malaysian airlines as it was on a cheap deal (SGD200 for all of us return) and we thought we had meals on the plane, so didn't eat much, had tofu cheese stick which was surprisingly yummy. But we didn't have any meals lol. We were nervous of course as our little one may get uncomfortable with pressure in his ears. Gladly, the timing was right he was hungry so he latched and we had a fairly smooth trip down (besides him whining before the flight asking us to change his diaper since he pooped).
Touching down, grabbed an expensive cab home (RM100!!) but she was fast. We went out to One Utama shopping mall with poh poh and had late lunch at Penang restaurant and dinner at Yong Tau Fu restaurant (RM54 total bill). First day done. But my throat was acting up so bad I could barely swallow.
Friday, 1st May
Besides getting pinched and punched on facebook, we took an easy walk to Centrepoint for E's first swim! Spontaneous decision and since it's down the road, why not. Initially he didn't like the float around his neck but the moment he was in the water, he was amazingly active! He was also making alot of cooing noise too. Apparently early year babies like water. It was so fun to watch him get excited. We bumped into a friend who had a baby born similar time as us (2 days late) and he fell asleep in the water haha! Talk about total opposite. Half an hour of fun done and it was off to eat.
Paparich was ok, drinks were nice but I stuck to honey lemon tea. Had some chicken chop with fried rice meal but dC had a nicer dish. We didn't do much during the day except that I rushed to get my hair done after latching. The two of them were sound asleep.
It was dinner at Pantai Seafood with dad, who conveniently invited more people to the table than the numbers I booked. Ended up HUGE table with LOTS of people. Saw Tze Yeng's little boys at last and they were so sweet to give E a book. We ate merrily, thanking dad for dinner.
Saturday, 2nd May
Didn't do much in the morning as dC went out for a tea ceremony. Was waiting patiently for him to get back while I snacked on honey drink and 'Heong Peng'. Suprisingly didn't feel hungry at all. It was off to One Utama again meeting up with dC's friend and his kid. She was expecting another one too so it was interesting to understand what she feels with another one along the way. These days we parents really equip ourselves so much with knowledge, so much so that we can easily fall into traps if we don't stay above the waters.
Poh poh was observing interestingly that she told back in the days, there were no shopping malls and kids were at home most times. No such thing as bringing them to baths, kiddies gyms etc. Their backyard was their playground as well as their siblings.
We had lunch at Sheng Kee Restaurant (the one in Singapore is miles better and cheaper) and hung out at a coffee place called Infusion (RM50 for drinks, sooooooo expensive!) I had a carrot cake and earl grey tea. It didn't take long for us to head back and prep for the wedding at night where we are of course nervous. Little E was frantically crying after dinner the night before and he had trouble falling asleep in touch noisy environment. Along we went to the dinner and he suprisingly cope well throughout. He managed to fall asleep too. My tastebuds died, sigh so I couldn't taste any good food at all. Suxxxxxxxx.
Sunday, 3rd May
Heading back and my tastebuds came back boooooooooo. We had subway for brunch and fruits plus yoghurt before packing up and headed to the airport at lunchtime. Bumped into a friend of ours and had lousy lunch with good company at Old Town Coffee. Gosh, the food is getting worse, drinks too. They better get their acts together before it gets taken over by others.
Little E didn't cope well in this flight this round. He fed and fell asleep a little too soon before the pressure came into his ears. We tried to get him to pacify but he just started crying. I feel sorry for the other people on the plane. Thankfully his cries are somewhat soft as it was just a moan rather than pain. Yes, there are a few levels of cries these days. And they come at random order too. We got home real quick coz we could go through the taxi priority lane once more (yippeee). Little E was calm in the cab and of course back to his bed (or rather us more relief to take him off our bodies lol).
