It's been 4 full days now since Papa's left for his trip and our video calls had been the kids'(errm, more of Renee's, lolz) daily/nightly highlight. Thank goodness for the new technology, it sure is nice, especially for the kids, to be able to still 'see' their papa whilst he's away.
We had stayed home these few days, thinking that it's also a good time for Renee to cool off abit before school re-opens 'cos we've been going out almost everyday this school holiday, heee. Things were 'calm' at home during these few days but on the night of the day before papa's due to return home, Renee cried mid-way through our video call... and I thought, perhaps I could bring both of them to the airport to meet papa the next day!
However, with the kids sleeping soooo late the night before(due to the late video call), we were all soooo tired(it's always quite a while later after the kids hv fallen asleep that I could have mine) that all 3 of us woke up very late the next day and I was worried that we might not be able to make it to the airport afterall - because our Macdonald's lunch was said to be delivered only after 3pm. Luckily, they arrived around 2:30pm and I quickly showered Rachel and took a cab down to the Terminal.
Flight's delayed(as usual, flights from China almost always delayed) and though we were only half an hour earlier than the scheduled time(5:35pm), we were made to wait til 6:30pm before Papa appeared! A good 1.5hr at the airport, doing nothing but only a cup of chocolate milk with pearls to entertain Renee and me, hahaha.
To avoid the jam on the way home, we decided to simply dine at 1 of the restaurants at the airport and whilst que-ing for our turn at the taxi line, we felt abit odd when we were directed to a taxi in the middle of the taxi que, hmmm - it had seemed like the taxi was 'avoided' by other passengers. It's only when we've reached home that we realised why - it's a cab that charges ridiculous fare! We were charged S$55! My trip to the airport earlier had cost me only S$23 and that's with the inclusion of a phone booking fee! Oh man, we must remember to avoid taking Premier cabs! Terrible... And papa said I should have driven.... :(
Oh ya, one more thing - Rachel would normally cry when I put her on somewhere new, like a changing station at the shopping mall but today, when I placed her at the baby seat inside the airport toilet cubicle, she actually loved it! I had left my bag with papa and when I told him about how cute Rachel had looked in the seat, he surprisingly agreed that I should go back and try to take a picture of her in it of which.... I did, heee. Then, again, she refused to be carried out of it and protested and this time round, I even got a video of that, hahaha
