And so we're back. It was an enjoyable trip. Ayra thoroughly enjoyed herself except for the oh so many terrible mozzie bites that she got. The weather wasn't too bad, the company was good, the hotel room was roomy and Ayra had all her little cousins to play with. Amongst others, Ayra went kite flying, played with little chicks and rode a bike ridden by her underaged cousin!
We then left the "kampong" for the day to check into our hotel room. We were pleasantly surprised by its size and wondered why we never stayed here before.
After Ayra had her well deserved nap, we went to the nearby "Mahkota Parade" to do what else? Eat (there goes my diet!) and shop! Then, while Abah returned to Wak Midah's house to hang out (he brought Ayra along), Ibu had her well deserved rest in the hotel room. Ibu called home and Nenek said Fuddin was doing fine and not missing us a bit! Haha.
Anyway, we had to get up really early the next morning as it was Hari Raya Haji. They went for prayers and after that, it was time to sacrifice the cow. I had to explain to Ayra that the cow isn't sad because he's going to be with "Allah". She didn't want to look though (neither did I) so I sent Abah to take a video of the whole procedure. Here are some pics I manage to take though.
After that was done, we brought all the kids back to the hotel for a swim. Ayra was having so much fun that she braved the cold as it was drizzling slightly. After that, I brought the kids up to hang out at the club where we helped ourselves to the free drinks and snacks while Abah had his short nap.
Then, more food (I know) and shopping! "Mango" was having a sale and I nearly went crazy but ended up only buying a pair of pants there. Shucks.
The next morning we had our buffet at the hotel. The food wasn't exactly great but it was all right. Soon it was time to leave and before that, we managed to squeeze in some last minute shopping.
So that's it. I was pretty beat but it was a good break nonetheless. Gosh. Only one more week or so till school reopens. How time flies.
