PD part 5... day 4.

This is my last entry on PD I promise. I know, I know it's just PD. You are lucky it's just PD, imagine if I were to take a 12 days Europe trip!!! I would be blogging about it for weeks huh? The think is I am always happy snappy all the time, so I have these bunch of pictures that I want to share with a little bit of narration. I can't do all that in 1 update. I do have work to do in the office really! Surprise, surprise!

So back to Port Dickson... A-GAIN!

We begin the day with breakfast again. Today our final day, since the previous night we arrived really late, we got up really late too. We only managed to have breakfast at 9:30 a.m, by this time we were normally at the beach already for the past two days. That was how late we were. The kids were kind of ok about not rushing to the beach, so that's good. We had a slow and easy breakie, enjoyed the last of those lovely fresh warm croissants.

Nayli and Zaim in front of the egg station. Zaim loves the chicken, puk! puk! puk!

Zaim on the last day, was getting a bit too familiar with the place. He was more confident to roam around, even up to the point of walking around with his bowl of cereals in his hand, don't worry no milk.

Zarif and Me.

This is in Glass, the Italian eatery that is adjacent to Fresh, the coffee house. After breakie, the kids wanted to play at the playground instead of going straight to the beach.

After playground, we headed for the beach, sort of as a final

dip before we went back to the city! :-(

Taking a stroll in the water with Zaim.

Zaim totally at ease alone.

Oops, guess he realised his sister and brother is having fun in the water

without him. Running to join them.

 Searching for little crabbies popping in and out in the sand.

Hard at work. I'm not quite sure that Zaim knows what the rest

was looking for, he does look like he knows.

Checking out what they have managed to catch so far.

I was so worried that Zaim might grab one and stuff it in his mouth.

Why is he licking his lips??

Final dip!

We did the playground, the beach so naturally we had to have one last dip in the pool. It was quite difficult for me to pull the kids out of the pool. Only 45 minutes before the check out time, I managed to get them out, dragged them back to the room to shower, change. We then had to do ultimate super duper fast packing!!!

Checking out. Holiday's over! :-(

Wheelling them out of the hotel.

Bye-bye beach!

Bye-bye hotel!

Can I eat this?

PD part 4... day 3.

Day 3 in Port Dickson, starts of course by waking up the children on time to go down for breakfast before it's over. They did pretty well so far, we managed to be all bathed and ready at the coffee house by 7:30 a.m, yup, you got that right! Well, the instruction is clear and simple. "If you kids want to spend a long time at the beach and pool, you better get up now!!!". Works all the time!!!

Zarif! Wake up, Mama doesn't want to miss the lovely warm croissants!!!

Nayli curled up like a prawn.

Zaim at breakfast, obviously please with something.

After the western dish, he had his share of Nasi Minyak. Yes, they served Nasi Minyak instead of Nasi Lemak, sooo dissapointing.

The three of 'em.

This is the bar and adults (infiniti) pool only.

This is where we ran for shelter when it rained.

When the rain stopped though not totally, we went back to the beach and discovered this huge pond left by someone. They didn't come back so my kids took over.

Lovely shell.

Zaim!!! How did you manage to get sand all over your face???

And hair?? Hope none went into your mouth!!!

Row row row your boat! Ha!ha! just for pictures.

Time for his milk break!

By the time we were ready to go out for lunch, he is already snoozing away!!!

Today we decided to go a little further for lunch, like all the way to Melaka.

We ended up at McDs only, cause it was getting late. This was when we discovered that Zaim loves KETCHUP! OMG!!!

It's has been ages since I have been to Melaka, probably Zarif was really small then or was perhaps wasn't even born yet. We discovered that Melak has changed a lot. Firstly we noticed this tower, quite hard to miss!

There was even an Aqua Duck Tour, quack! quack!

The Stadthuys building was still there, but we had difficulty finding the A Famosa. What happened to the A Famosa?

While driving round and round Melaka Town in circles, Nayli was fascinated by the small quaint little houses and narrow streets. These are some pictures that she took.

We were in the car for quite sometime, Zaim was getting really bored and edgy.

I had to let him out of his seats and play with Nayli at the back. Zarif is not in the picture because he is fast asleep in front. We still couldn't find A Famosa. In the end at almost 6:30 p.m we saw kind of an archway, that if you look closely you'd see A Famosa about 500mtrs away! The signage was just soooo bad!!!

There was an art festival going on there. There was kind of this pantomime sketch ... I don't really know what to call it. I had a difficult time explaining to Nayli what was going on without demeaning what these International Artists performing. If you know what I mean.

The A Famosa, at long last.

A canon kids! Look! They had no idea what this was.

The trishaw ride was not missed. Nayli was rather embarassed to get on one, what with the loud decorations and loud music, I can understand but I insisted, cause it was gettting late and that would be the fastest way to go for a quick round that Stadthuys area.

She relented in the end. Well at least, she did not have to bear the dangdut music like what we had on ours!

Zaim's stroller, safely strapped up.

Hello!!!

By the time the trishaw ride was over it was almost dark, even the lights were on already on this tree in front of this building which was supposedly the building where the Merdeka Treaty was signed. Pretty historic stuff eh! Our day ended really late in Melaka, we then went to check out the Dataran Melaka mall, this place is huge,but inside it doesn't look that much different than small shops in Sungei Wang Plaza. We then went seafood restaurant hunting all the way to Jasin area.

We ended up eating here at Alai, wherever that is. It was late, kids were sleepy, we were hungry. After the late dinner, we drove all the way back to Port Dickson and arrived at 1 a.m!!
