Detour

We started the day of departure, Monday, at 0430. Got to the airport all bleary-eyed still and discovered that the flight had been delayed until 2330. Oh man! But it wasn't all bad. You see, we got to enjoy another day in Singapore! :D Air China put all of us up at Copthorne Orchid, a laid back hotel on the outskirts of Orchard Road. And so we checked in and to our surprise, we were given a suite (probably thanks to DH's Star Alliance gold card). We were given meal vouchers for all 3 meals which wasn't bad because we got to have great beef rendang, satay & seafood (the last seafood stop before Chengdu!).

The delay definitely had a silver lining for we got to run some last minute errands & had a last piece of kaya toast & kopi at Ya Kun - where we caught minibeanie's grandmother sneaking out despite her earlier claims of flu!

But it hadn't been easy since returning to Chengdu. I'd a slight flu and minibeanie had rummy tummy. 9 poopy diapers today so far. The last one happened just as we were about to turn in. It's now past 2 after all the brouhaha.


minibeanie is 1 year, 2 months & 2 weeks old
