(Going into the elevator)
Judith: Mummy! Daddy! Where are we going?
Daddy: I want to see this hotel’s gym.
(Kids jumping in the elevator screaming “my ears, my ears“) TING!
Javier: WAH………. so many doors! Joe: Oh! I know! I know! (Ignoring Joe all the way while walking looking for room 2610)
Daddy: Hmm I think it’s this door.
Judith: What are we doing here? Am I thinking what this is?
Joe: We are staying here!
(This led to the kids grinning then screaming YAY while jumping for joy!)
Hubby and I don’t always find time for ourselves.. well we do find time at home after work. We watch TV episodes together. I particularly love Ghost Whisperer whereas he likes Hell’s Kitchen. And then there are the ones where we share like CSI (Miami, Vegas, NY), Dexter, Lie to Me and recently Royal Pain.
There’s nothing like a good company before going to bed. But, the occasionally breakfast and lunch dates are pretty sweet too. So, one of the Saturdays, we left the kids with my in-laws while we went about sweeping the Bukit Bintang streets. We can never do this when kids are around, walking by the roadside and crossing the street never ever comes to mind. Because outdoors are pretty dangerous when it comes to the Golden Triangle and road users aren’t very friendly either.
So hand in hand, me with my handbag and Hubby with his camera, we combed the streets….
Our weekend was really FUN! We went to Tropicana Mall, had breakfast at Subway, went for the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ movie and, we went and ‘TA-GEI’ at the arcade center.
And I caught him as well WAHAHA which in the end he got giddy from rocking left and right
First time I see water sprouting game in indoor arcade.. HMM where have I been lately?
Food for LOVE, Food from the PAST @ Hakka Marble Restaurant
They all are YUMMY! I can’t wait to go back there to enjoy these traditional dishes.
Last week, we took a break from work, school, chores and everything. We as in FIL, MIL, Cecilia, Nancy, Jake, ME and the kids too.
We left on Friday morning to Awana Kijal, Kemaman for a 3 days 2 nights stay. It took us about 4 and a half hours to reach the hotel. We all took turns to sleep in the car except for Cc who seemed to have slept throughout the journey.
Jake, ME and the kids have been to Awana Kijal a couple times before. We love this hotel a lot as the staff are friendly and there’s plenty of food here. The beach here is clean, the seawater is crystal and the rooms are squeaky clean. So, here were are again and I bet we’ll be back here again soon.
You know what I mean now? Sleeping Super Big Baby!
For the few days we were there, we had an assistant, kinda like a tour guide. My uncle, whom I normally address as Uncle Keong or better known as Steven to the staff of Awana Kijal, is a swimming instructor in Awana Kijal. When he’s done with his lessons, he brought us out to find yummy licking food.
Uncle Keong, which I enjoyed spending my childhood holidays with him and his familyWell, in Awana there are actually a lot of activities to be done.. it’s only us that’s being fussy. We came here to relax so explain the few variety pictures that I’ve taken.
We took car rides too with the top open… especially at night time.. the air is so clean you can practically swim in it..
These 2 ladies can’t seem to get rid of their screaming motto, ‘I AM FREE’!
We went for car rides during the day too mostly to have lunch and do some grocery shopping like water, biscuits, snacks, etc..
This is the famous ‘stuffed crab’ which you can find in Kemaman town. The restaurant we patronize was ‘Tong Juan’
Then, there’s the ‘Crab in Salted Egg’ which we broke our fingernails to get to the meaty part.. Find these crabby at ‘Sri Mahkota’ at Kuantan town right opposite Citiview Hotel.
One thing the kids never fail to miss is definitely the pool.. where we got tanned and burned. The kids love the pool here as it is child friendly and not as deep as other child pools. Even I’m not so concern of kids drowning. The only downfall is that, we have to walk like forever to get into and out of the pool area because the hotel authorities barricaded the area around to prevent outsiders from using the hotel facilities. So, add about 10-15 minutes to your schedule.
Nancy over-covered
Now, she’s exposed doing the HULA.. How many times must I you that, ‘WE ARE NOT IN HAWAII’!
Cecilia as usual advertising whatever it is that’s on her hand..
MIL showing Javier her ‘Power Palm Splash’
I, as usual can’t snap a perfect picture of myself.. thought this would just do fine.. 
Hub contemplating whether does the hotel gym have the latest equipment or not
Burn Baby Burn, Sunburn Intensify
Nancy just lurves the baby hermit crabs
Judith had enough for the day.. she’s resting for now..
I stayed out of this.. I was only the spectator, I swear.. I did not took part in any of this.
Human Sand Art, DONE with 36C boobs as well.. creatively hand molded by Nancy :p
It seems like a scene from Titanic minus the ‘Heart of The Ocean’
BEHOLD! The revenge of the Sand Man
Open bath.. anyone interested to join in?
After the boat was prepped, we went down into the boat one by one, from adult to kids, ladies first of course. So, Cc and ME went down first and sat there waiting for others. Ew.. SCARY! Crocodiles were floating in our minds plus unnecessary thoughts which the guide made us gagged not to talk absolutely about other stuff other than FIREFLIES.
So, fireflies be it. We asked so many questions and we received answers fruitfully. Questions after questions which was actually quite fun. HAHA. It made us forget about the other bad thoughts.
Cc kinda looked like she’s got possessed.. Oh-My-Gawk
Javier is seeing flashing lights too which was from my camera.. aaahhh
ME and Cc stealing some shots for our blogs..
But for more photos, you can check out the shots uploaded by Cecilia and Nancy in their Facebook Album titled “Family Holiday”. I have a few awkward pictures there.. OMG, even shades couldn’t hide my sneers.
