Lovely view...

No caption, just photos of nice views...nice scenaries....

Farewell Lumut

It's time to leave this beautiful place. Packing punyer packing, we suddenly realised that there were so many stuff that we need to bring back. Tu belum masuk the fishery stuff that we bought in Lumut that we have placed in the car. Ada tempat ke nak masuk semua nie. My better half told me not to worry and he'll take care of that...That's a good thing since I don't have to do the thinking ;)

Before we left, more snapping pictures activities...around the room, and on the way out of the resort...

This 2 pictures were taken at this are called The View, which of course a spot at the resort that has a nice view...

We decided to use the old road instead of the highway. What I was told that was a good decision as the highway was so packed and bumper to bumper traffic. Stopped for lunch at Tanjung Karang once the cuties were all up from their beauty sleep....Actually we were hunting for a place to eat and look forward to eat at gerai...tapi all tutuplah pulak. Along the way, there were a lot of weddings took place, around 20 I think. So my better half got this what he claimed to be a brilliant idea, to stop at one of the wedding and pretend that we know the family, makan, give some money and leave....ade ker patut!!???

Last round!!

Before we left on Sunday, we decided to spend the remaining half day at the beach and the swimming pool. After breakfast and changing to the proper attire, to the beach we went..

The cuties simply love the beach. They love the sand, the water and of course the seashells collection.
There were this obstacle course kind of thing near the beach so my hero wanted to give it a shot.
Once they are done with the beach, we washed up a bit and headed to the pool. They were excited since they can now use the float given earlier in the goodie bag(cool goodie bag by the way eiseai and cik puan ambang)
As usual, there will be arguments and negotiations going on, just to get them out of the pool. It's already 11.30am and we're suppose to check out at 12pm. I have done the packing earlier in the morning...
Time to say goodbye to Lumut....

Quiet dinner with family

We decided to eat out tonite, saje nak makan seafood lak. It felt incomplete to be at the beach area but not eating any seafood. We drove to Lumut and stopped at 2 seafood outlet. But both were full of people and the waiter warned us if we decided to order, the food will only be ready within 1 and half hour...mana leh tunggu, dah lapo seh...
Alhamdulilah, the 3rd outlet, though full of people, it did not fail us. The food was nice and the price was really ok. Bestnyer...
Perut kenyang, senang hati...

Family Retreat - The fun part

Today's activity started with telematch and the cuties were having soooo much fun. The participated in most of the games and got prizes for all. As for me and my better half, malas ler nak join as we were already tired cheering for the cuties. After the telematch, we went to the fun fair area for more games...


Enjoy the photos...

Nie apahal lak nie, tulah, someone went kayaking without telling us, habis telangkup the kayak and the handphone all gone. This is my better half trying to salvage the situation with a hairdryer...ha ha ha...

Next will be our Pangkor trip

Family Retreat - Upon Arrival

The retreat is supposed to start on Thursday, most of my workmates has left for the venue this year, Swiss Garden Damai Laut, Lumut. Due to study commitment, we only left the next day, however due to the cuties excitement, we left pretty early, at 5.15am. After getting lost at the Lumut town, and mind you, I am not the only that having difficulty to get there, we arrived at around 10am. Quickly went for breakfast after checking in, nasib baik sempat cause breakfast ends at 10.30am.

We then headed to the beach, have some activities going on there. There were T-Shirt painting and sand art for the kids but the cuties were not interested, maybe still tired due to the journey. They just wanted to hang out at the beach and watched the sand castle competition. We supported kumpulan comel dan manja(???) and they won first prize. They were so sweet to share their prizes with the cuties who helped them to decorate the castle...nasib baik le they didn't destroy it, ada yg tak betegur sapa nanti kan azrul...
eiseai's mok mok...isn't he the cutest??

After lunch, we went to Lumut town in our hunt to find the baju to fit the theme dinner. My hero was not very happy that we plan to get my princess and my baby to wear sleeveless dress, yelah, future ustaz lah katakan. We assured him, it will be just for one nite...I know he forced himself to agree...

My hero just recovered from his chicken pox but the scars were still clearly visible, so being a creative parents, we bought conceler to cover that...ok ler tu kan??


The nite was quite entertaining, hosted by Dee. The food??? Not to badlah...





Ms GTL pointed at us to come up on stage for a family game. It's a dress-your-parents kind of game where I have to be the grandpa and my better half as the grandma. We won 3rd prize.

My hero and my princess also participated in the eat the most banana contest and walked away with more prizes...
Better rest now, more to come tomorrow.
