Penang Hill - Part 1



{Back-dated Post}

What can you do with your little ones when they are 1)On school break for 2 weeks OR 2) Baby sitter is away and you need to take leave??

OUTING!!!

My mum is away on vacation, so I need to take leave on 2nd half of the day to take care of Ern (she goes to school still in the morning). As for Charlotte & Yan, they are on school break, follow government school's break schedule. That's how we (the mummies) plan for them to meet at Penang Hill on 4th June. It was the first time for Ern and Yan while second time for Charlotte. Mum being mum, we even have Plan B & Plan C in case the tram service is not functioning or it rains!

I only told Ern about the plan on the morning itself and she was clueless about tram and meeting new friends. I still sent her to school as I need to pick up an important teleconference from home but pick her up right after her snack break at 10.30am. Off we headed to Penang Hill.

Before we reached the ground station, there were many cars parked along the roadside. It took me like 10mins before I can find a spot to park, yet that spot is at residential area with walking distance of 10mins to the station. No choice but to park.

Half way walking, Ern wanted to pee and I know she can't wait till we reach the toilet at the station. So I asked her to pee at the roadside. No complaint from her, means her bladder is really full liao. Otherwise, she won't pee outside of toilet one.

Right after that, Charlotte's Mummy arrived. Same like us, find parking. She was lucky to find one that is nearer. So we waited for them under a tree. Guess what, Ern and Charlotte clicked so well the moment they met. The last time they met was almost 1 year ago!

Crowded at the waiting area and we decided to go ahead with the plan even we needed to wait for 1.15hr for the tram ride. Yes, it was that crowded even the tram service is once every 15mins. We just feel bad to dampen their spirit since we can wipe out the joy written on their face !

Soon after that, Yan and mummy arrived. It took a little while for Yan to warm up but soon, the 3 of them sing, run and eat (snack) together while waiting for our turn on the tram ride.
