Down Under Dugong...

Ok, it's official. My little 'Boobee' is going with us to Sydney next week! Don’t ask me why she's called 'Boobee', its just a term of endearment, and probably a mutation of the common term 'Baby'. Anyway, we're starting to fear Terelle thinks her real name is Boobee Leong.

Its absolutely incredible how much they charge you for a 'infant' seat on the plane. Let's just say it is 500% over my initial estimate. Well, regardless, she's coming with us on my business trip and we've actually arranged for a bassinet on the plane too. In case youVre wondering, I just found out the meaning of that word too. It stands for 'Bed on Plane in Sky' - size S only. It comes 'free' with her grossly over-inflated airfare. And since she ain't even going to occupy a seat on the plane, we might as well take the bassinet; father and daughter can take turns to get some snooze in it. :)

Li-Anne and I were saying that it'll be great to go back there, this time with Boobee, after what.....8 years? More so that the last time, we had some really bad shots of the Opera House. I would really want to blame my lousy underwater camera, it really was....but this time, I'll be well-equipped. Hehehe. So looking forward to it, especially when I'm staring down the barrell of the gun called 'WORK OVERTIME OVER CHRISTMAS SEASON'!! Li-Anne has been extremely supportive over this busy and stressful period; I hope we can have smashing good-old fun as a family next week. It'll be nice to meet up with Jason again after 3 years. He was the funky Chinese-Australian-Malaysian-whatever dude we met on the Grand Canyon tour back in Arizona. He has kindly offered to show my big and small 'Boobees' around while I work my a*** off DOWN UNDER!!!! Thanks bro.
