2 more days to go!!

2 more days to go and we'll be out here to Beijing! It's very exciting for me as I'll be travelling for the first time with my parents. I've been to Brisbane 2 years back with my mum and mother in law with the kids (only Hao and Ee) but I've never travelled with my dad before. We didn't have any extra money to travel together when I was a kid and the only time my parents brought their kids overseas was to Genting when we were in Secondary school and back then I had my holiday job and couldn't join them, so they only brought my brother and sister along. It's really hard to convince my dad to take some time off to travel as he has to work 2 jobs even till now. It's only after he had the mild stroke that he finally realised how short life is and with his age, he felt that if he don't enjoy now, he might not have the energy to do so in a few years time when he has the time. That prompted him to slow down his pace and started to work less hours and execute his travel plans. He went to Hong Kong with my mum, sis and Kevin earlier this year during the Labour Day long weekend and will be travelling with us to Beijing in 2 days' time. Maybe end of the year he's thinking to visit Taiwan with my mum and then after he get back, he'll plan his travel trips for next year. Not too bad for a year...not bad at all :P
