Hey .. Where's Everybody's Gone To ?
Posted on 2008-Jun-4 at 11:56
Am back in the office today. Work is piling. Boss is screaming. But I am smiling.
Had the best 2 days break at Tiara BR, PD. Was there with Nobita's family. The kids had tremendous fun in the pools. They played well. They bickered even better. The room's pretty awful, actually but I guess for the water park, it compensated itself.
The week before that, we spent 3 days driving north-east bound to Kuala Trengganu and stayed overnight at Kota Bahru. Arrived really late for underestimating 'kejauhan' KT from KB. I thought the dua jari distance was managable, it turned out to be much farther. Ciss! The morning was spent at the pool. What else? A hotel trip to the kids revolves around the pool only. Then another hour in the bath tub.
We headed west to Penang, along the eerie Gerik, Jeli, Baling route, again underestimating how far it was. After the Teluk Banding stop around Maghrib, we continued driving in pitch black deserted highways with dense jungle at both sides.
I was once at Chenderoh for power station visits and went on boat trips at Kenyir Dam. They showed us the surau which was completely demolished by a pack of raging elephants. So, the 3 hours drive was very nerve-wrecking. I was more afraid of the wild elephants charging at us that any of the Jangan Pandang Belakang scenes. Eh, equally kot!
Anyway, we arrived safe and sound at Penang, crossed over in a ferry and fell asleep knackered. Us, adults la. The kids were splashing in the huge jacuzzi tub.
Stayed for 2 nights and then drove home to BJ.
I thought we had such great holidays this term break. Ohhh I have to mention the airshow and the TUDM open day last Sunday. That was so cool. Under the extremely hot sun and my err kewl shades, we ooh-ed and aah-ed over the manouvers by the Sukhoi and the Hornets and the MIGs. The thunderous sound felt even in your bones was just exhilarating especially when it flew just over your heads. So the very cooolll!
In the afternoon's scheduled airshow, we drive out to a vantage point near Adani's school to ogle again at the jets and all. I guess I have consented to my tax money being spent to buy those flying machines, if you could awe me every now and then.
But now work beckons. Sigh! I need a holiday!
