CNY Getaway!

We didn't really plan our long holiday this time, particularly due to our work to paint the new house, and also both Faidrol and I have been staying together, so staying at home is also considered as holiday for us.

But Mak and Ayah decided they gave us surprise by making an impromptu journey up north to see their grandkids!

I was very happy to know their plan and excited at the same time as to show them off our newly-purchased house.

Twas having lunch at 2PM on Saturday, Faidrol and I planned to started our stop halfway through in the morning of painting the walls. The plan was to start at 3.30 - 4PM but, Mak Ayah was already on their way to Hard Rock Hotel.

Upon hearing this, I excitedly told them that I am willing to chip in for a one night stay in the hotel and for that, we were invited to stay in together. Yeay....

And so the plan all went down the drain (the paintings uh uh).

So we made our journey to Hard Rock Hotel, stopping by Line Clear for Ayah's order on Nasi Kandar. We started our journey around 3.30PM and reached Feringghi around 5PM.

Cars started to piling up the road towards Feringghi thus the 2-hour journey.

Once we reached Hotel, we didn't waste any time but to go for the swimming pool. Not for us, but for the kids yes! Aok bah... mak pak pun maok juak bah hahaah.

Faryyal insisted to stay at the pool side, playing only with the shallow water meant to be the "pool drain". But Fayyadh wasted no chance, jumped right into the pool with Faidrol! What a boy!

But everntually Faryyal wanted to join them and I have to carry her into the pool slowly and steady as not to terrify her.

We were in the pool until almost Isya'!

The swirling slides are superb unless you got stuck midway or almost reaching to the pool. Either way, it was fun to do with the kids (the kids are the reason we can surely enjoy the slides or, you have to just only watch from the poolside!). Faryyal and Fayyadh cannot stop to slide and I even think and told Faidrol to just let them be alone on the slides til I catch them in the pool but to think twice, it was a dangerous thing to do to a 2 year old and 1 year old.

There was a lion dance in front of the Hard Rock Cafe, Faryyal enjoyed it so much she did not move from her spot watching it. We went to the Rock Shop but nothing aspired me to buy anything (as I already have a lanyard, Roxy one) or the umbrella that I wanted to buy but sarcastically approved by dear husband that aborted me to purchase.

It was a night to remember as both kids enjoyed their time there, Faryyal never want to be steered away from Neneks and everytime we were apart, she was always looking/searching for her Neneks.

The next day we went to as usual, Padang Kota Lama to enjoy the delicacy : Pasemboq and headed straight to our new house.

Haha, sad to say nothing is in the house but my parents insisted to stay there that night. I gladly setup their "shack" with hot coffee, iced tea, some pistachios, cucur by Mak Lang, beds and pillows, with a fan and a mosquito coil. Being ayah as always, he will mop the floors and sweep them, giving me advices on what's yes to go or what's disastrous to do.

Since the next day I already started working, they made their way back to KL as early as 6AM as we made our way back to 15 Padang Lalang to send the kids to Mak Lang.

As short as it may sound, but it was a memorable holiday alright. I really enjoyed it as long as people around me do too.

Miss my parents :(
