1st long journey


It was to London not to meet the queen but to make you a legal Malaysian citizen. The trip was solely purpose driven with no other agenda as there was no way we could go back to Malaysia for CNY without your passport. The thought of travelling with you was more than a little scary PLUS, it was supposed to be one of the coldest day in UK.

I packed the night before. We had a small trolley bag with all the 'just in case' stuff. Thankfully you woke up at 4 to feed with little hassle and the journey to the embassy smooth. It was a VERY close shave but we managed to have your passport done. We managed to catch up with my friend, Irene and Albert, and you met your friend, Isaac too!! He was a month younger but was bigger than you. However, you were much much louder and Irene was shocked you could make so much noise.You also made your presence known in one of the poshest restaurant where we had lunch. We had no choice coz the embassy was in such a posh area and it was too cold to walk far. Maybe its because you hardly slept since you woke up but you cried and cried, very unlike your usual self when out. It was quite embarassing since you were so loud and there was no place to change you except between the sink in the toilet!! Mental note: only family friendly restaurants from now on. It was also exhausting trying to entertain you on the train journey back. It was only 2.5 hours. Another mental note: Be prepared with lots of toys for the trip home with minimal transit time.
