Langkawi Trip - part II

29th May 2006

0900 hrs – Early morning (ahemmm….) we had our breakfast. Only I & the Mrs. really ate. The kids just… well.. play with their food. And my youngest just cannot get away from the fishes in the aquarium.. Keeps on saying.. ‘Bah, fish.. fish’. I just smiled to him.

I had 2 sausages, 2 pancakes, 2 slices of beef bacon, a glass (small one) of mango juice and some baked beans for starters. I am staying away from rice for the simple reason…. I ate rice for most of the times. Might as well have something different.For the next round I had some grilled/baked potatoes (small portion) & a couple of croissant and a bowl of apricot flavoured yogurt. Yogurt… big mistake… too much. I just cannot finish them. I had a cup of tea with milk.After that we went back to our room and get ready for the kids main event. The swimming pool.

1000 hrs – Presenting the main event, dip in the swimming pool. It is more like a ‘dipping’ marathon. We spent around 1 ½ hours at the pool. The kids had the most fun. And I had to watch over Haziq. A 3 year-old knows nothing about playing in the pool and mind you, it will be dangerous to him or any other kids for that matter. I’m sticking to him like ‘a cheap perfume on a tuxedo’.




Harith and Dhamirah, I just keep an eye on them. Not letting them out of my sight. One thing that I notice now is that Harith is more dependable nowadays. That a plus to me. I can ask him to get the pool towel which a long way from the kiddy pool. Save me the long walk.

1130 hrs – Back to our room. Getting ready for the next outing and doing that is not going to be easy. It’s going to take some time. We were ready at around 1300 hrs.

1300 hrs – We went out for our lunch and Dhamirah already saying that she is not feeling well. This ultimately will change our vacation plan in a big way. Went to Restoran Kampung Nelayan… the one near the Golf course. It is famous for its fish. We had Siakap Masak Masam-Manis (Sweet-Sour), Ketam Sambal Telor (Crab) & Udang (Shrimp) & Sotong (Squid/Calamari?) Goreng Tepung.

It proves too much for me and the Mrs. I’m not sure why the Mrs. Ordered that much for the two of us and it is for our lunch. The kids are not much of an eater. We had to take to the hotel on the leftovers (for our dinner). I hate to waste on a perfectly good food.

We didn’t spend that much time on lunch as Dhamirah condition is getting worse. After eating we just head back to the hotel. The rest of the days were spent at the hotel. Resting.

At night, I had the chance to go out but only to the grocery store. To buy some sugar, ‘Coco-Crunch’ and a few other items. Then, we had our dinner. And our second day vacation ends here on a low note. Bummer.
