CNY '09 Trip to KL - Part 1

We made our annual CNY trip up to KL, Malaysia to visit my relatives on the 25th of January, the eve of Chinese New Year. My maternal grandma or "Tai-po" (greatgrandma in Cantonese) to Ellis resides there, as do my youngest Uncle, Aunt and some of my closest cousins. This is the 2nd time that Ellis has travelled overseas, the first was last year when she was 3 months old.

Here we are at the airport before our flight. Much as I had lots of barang to carry, I didn't want to drive up. The prospect of having to handle Ellis for a 5 hour car ride was too daunting. I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities at Terminal 2. There was a "Family Room" - a pretty large room with a TV and couch, and changing rooms adjacent to it. Outside there was an indoor playground where I plonked Ellis to kill time while waiting to board.

The plane ride this time round was not as easy as the year before. She didn't like being strapped down and was very cranky as she was sleepy and couldn't settle. Longest 45 minutes ever.

More shots since we were bored while waiting for our room to be cleaned up at the One World Hotel in PJ.
