Journey back home

To all my faithful readers of my blog, mommy has a pleasant surprise for all of you. Yes, we are back in Singapore now, just in time for the Chinese Lunar New Year which is just a few days away from now. We departed from San Francisco Airport at noon on 17th Jan, and embarked on our much awaited journey back home.

The total flight hours back home is about 20 hours, including a 3 hours transit time at Narrita Airport in Japan. This was the longest flight that our little girl has taken so far in her life even though she did fly for over 20 hours in mommy's tummy two years ago when we flew from Singapore to Canada. Thinking back, her life journey has straddled across North America and Asia. She was conceived in Canada, diagnosed in Singapore and finally delivered in United States. Now, she is making her first trip to Singapore where mommy and daddy grew up

Poor Sheri! Mommy and daddy had to wake her up at 4.00 am in the morning to go to the airport. Fortunately, she has been quite cooperative. Here she is, enjoying her raisin bread while waiting for the flight at San Francisco Airport.

Travelling on a long distance flight with a full fledged toddler can be very challenging at times. Daddy and mommy had difficulties keeping her restrained on her stroller when we encountered some problems with our check-in luggages. Apart from this, our girl is generally well-behaved throughout the whole journey. At the airport, she kept her entertained by going up and down the escalator and travellator.

That certainly sapped up all her energy that she was totally knocked out after we transited at Narrita Airport in Japan.
Here she is, sleeping on the airplane while hugging her favourite bolster that Ah Ma made for her when she was born.


Japan is a country that is renowned for its electronic gadgets. Even their toilet in the public restroom has an electronic side panel for user to play with while using the toilet. Pretty interesting, isn't it?
