No No to Beach, Yes Yes to Pool


Day 2

Ok, some pics of the pool since the last post was on Beach. Guess U r sick of the beach oledi by now. Just have some peek at the pool at Hyatt.

Pool No. 1 with Baby Pool


We've quite skeptical if Adriel will missed his "Sarong Cradle dearie". Phew... when a child got really exhausted, anywhere and everywhere is not a prob! :)

Day 3 - Last Day
Pool No. 2

Lesson learned : Make sure u had him over his limit while playing in the pool. End of the day, he'll sleep through out on the way back!

Sandy Beach


I have a few posting has been parked for a week! :e
Ok, I shall start Our Holiday posting here after blogging bout the Hotel.

On the first day we arrived about 5:30pm, well there wasn't anything much we can do at tis time non other than walking on the beach side & that's when I noticed 'A Romantic Set-up' was put up.

Anyway, did my photographer session (hahaha.. like real) and helped Hubby to child minding his Son!. Adriel wasn't very cooperative to the sands!

He even stand for almost 10 minutes without moving an inch of his bare foot!! That's the Best Time I managed to snap quite a numbers of photos of him. I think, if he ever can speak he will say "Get me out of here" or "Mummy, Daddy Pls help me".

We even try to buried his feet to the ground and sprinkle some sands to both his hands to get him used to the sands but that doesn't helped much.





Some of his 'monyok' face

Preview of Hyatt, Kuantan


I took some photos of the room in Hyatt, Kuantan. (Since 'Khong Fmly' will be there in August have some sneak preview of the hotel). If you are coming from KL and taking the Karak highway, pls take the Gambang Exit not Kuantan. Once you exit Gambang, continue your journey to the straight road. When you see the first traffic light beside the traffic light just turn left. Continue your journey till you reach many many traffic lights (at least 3-4 traffic lights!!). There are not any sign age of Hyatt hotel. So, to be safe just ask around. The Hyatt Hotel at Teluk Cempedak is the only hotel that stands alone. (We had hard time to make up our mind as we thought of taking the Kuantan Exit. Anyway, Must thank Elly for her guidance. Elly, Thank Goodness I have you. You are my Saviour.)

We took the 'Seaview room' which over looking the beach from our balcony (can't see the pool). There are two wing of rooms in Hyatt. (Ok, example - 1st Wing over looking the beach and the 2nd wing over looking the swimming pool and beach).

I called up the hotel to make my reservation and I requested Non-smoking room. For your info, non smoking rooms only available at 2nd Floor onwards. There are Four floors in total (including ground). The Ground floors and 1st floor are for smokers.

I also requested a King size bed as Adriel is No longer sleeping in his cot. (I wrapped up his cot 6mths ago). Having a King Size bed is a good idea as we can have more space - knowing this lil' fella of mine - tossing and turning for 360 degree.

Most of the hotel has to slide-in card or swipe card before entering the room. But this hotel has a slight different system. They are using a kind of 'touch n go' card. Keep you inform : If we loose the card, there will be a penalty to it. So be careful.

These are through my observation of the hotel:
  • Have been refurbished recently, with new paints (this is my second time here)
  • Private Beach owned by Hyatt (outsider can walk in to the compound BUT only limits for 10-20mins) as Elly advised.
  • It has TWO pools. First pool (with two baby pools) situated next to the Coffee house (makan area) and second pool facing the Rooms (No baby pool). - Scroll down for pic
  • Re-Tiling of the Pool and flooring. Even the pool umbrella and seats are relatively new.
  • Makan area (Food and beverages) - has many selective of food (I didn't try the food as I only bought the rooms). They even have Pub
  • With SPA & Gym (Dun even hv time for this)
  • Clean and nice ambiance (Feel very relaxing - I wish I can stay longer)
One thing for sure, you will not die of Hunger!!
If you walk out of the hotel, you will find:
  • Uncle KFC
  • Uncle Mc'D
  • Uncle Mamak Stall (Last time used to be a Happening cafe & Bistro)
  • A Famous shop selling Curry Chicken Noodles and Noodles Soup which is Halal. ( Ok lar...)
  • Sovenier shops if you walking towards the beach (Public beach)
If you walking towards the Public Beach you will be able to snap some pic (at the parking area where there are trees around), veranda where stalls being put up and the best is 'the Bridge'.

The Bridge only 500 meters long and has two to three rest area for you to sit or view the sea. And walking on the bridge with my lil' one really a good experience to him.

I think mine was 1st Wing
View from my Balcony
This 2nd wing will over look the swimming pool and beach.
If you gonna book this wing, Take 2nd floors onwards so you can over look the beach & pool.


'The Bridge' that I am referring..
I'm standing at one of the rest area.
Can you spot the hotel? (Red & Green roof)
So, is not far from the hotel.
I think 3D2N is too short. Of co'z I really wish for a longer vacation but having said this, Is not easy to have a smooth vacation when you bringing along kid/s. Time are limited and you tend to get lazy to explore the whole Kuantan as compared to a without kid/s vacation!

Our Road Trip on 18 Jul 08


We didn't depart from home till 12noon as we got to meet up with Albert's Uncle and cousins which just arrived from Germany. Albert's uncle has a mixed marriage and he has been in Germany for almost half his life there.

While we're traveling, Adriel spotted his daddy's cap on his daddy's head. he demanded it by pointing his fingers to his daddy head. At first I was a bit unsure what he wants, but when he point at his Daddy (he was driving at that time), I knew he wants the cap!

So, I took off his daddy's cap and put on to him. He was happily and sit down quietly on his car seat.
Do U think I look smart on daddy's cap?





Nice mixture, don't u think? Still got a little bit of chinese genes

Finale Amazing Race

Wah today, juz like a Finale Amazing Race to me.
Today I so 'Keng'. I managed to Killed FIVE Birds with One stone :p

First Bird
Have a hair cut at Taman Tun. I really need one as I felt, I looked so haggard. Very shitty and Ah Soh look. My last hair cut was in mid January. Didn't have a hair cut for Six mths... U can imagine how horrible I looked!

Second Bird
Meet up with Mei at The Curve as she booked me for Dinner (but she FFK our dinner) as she need to pass a set of shirt & pant to Adriel. Not only that, she also gave a pair of shoe for Adriel and a shirt to me. Many Thanks Mei, So Paiseh to accept it.

Third Bird
Pass three bottles of ampoule to Helena as she needed it for her photoshot tomolo and for wedding dinner. Wah.. another red boom coming on it's way :P

Forth Bird
Do some groceries shopping at Tesco with Mei. This round I really killed a bird. Is a bird of chicken :) for my dinner. Wat so funny was I saw they displayed a few types of Flavour Roasted Chicken. So, while I was choosing the flavour that I wanted I saw this 'Black Pepper'. What amazed me was, there are 4 small birds and one super big bird. So, I asked the 'chopper' (he will be chopping the chicken for me mah!) wat's the different between these 'Big' and 'Small' chicken? "Oh, is the same" And the price? "Olso the same" I was like puzzled for awhile.

So, I ended up choosing Black Pepper chicken but a Bigger version (Smart chopper! without me telling him which one I wan) :p kekeke Sorie no pic of this Poor chicken. I wallop oledi with Hubby... Too hungry till I hv no time for photo :P

Fifth Bird
Pass something to Jayden Boy Mama. Sasha, sorie for the super duper late gift for Jayden Boy. BTW, U gave me a good exercise... I need it though. :P (BTW, u r so so lucky man. I nearly wanna go home liou. Juz because Hubby called me Aunty cooked some extra CRABS for us that's why I turned back and bought back Birdy home. Or else I cabut liou) . BTW, Thanks for the tiles crayon. Dun dare to give to Adriel yet.. He might draw on my walls!! Than I cari U.... kekeke

*P/s: Chan's Fmly Get Well soon

After finished with all the Five Birds, I ended up stucked in a JAM. @%$^ at 8:45pm still got jam?? Thank goodness I smart :) I make a U-turn and get out fr it .. Phew :)

Moral of the story:

LEGO Clearance at Toys R' us in KLCC


Ok, this post is Especially for my Sibu fren, Mery as she wanted to know what I bought for Adriel.


I remembered when I was young, I do not have any chance to play Lego. I guess Lego are mainly for Boys and getting a set of Lego will cost a boom. I had a cousin bro that loves Lego and I tell myself I will make sure to get some for my son :)

Received an email from Toys R' Us as they are having LEGO Clearance in KLCC. I was quite excited about this sale as you will hardly find Lego on discount up to 50%.

So, I went to Toys R' Us during lunch hours. Yah, I sacrificed my lunch just for this sale. When I was there, I saw many Mummies, Daddies, Lady & Man surrounded the Lego Section. My aimed was for 50% off. To be frank, not many 50% but more on 30%. I guess that are their marketing tactics on their email advertisement.

Anyway, I managed to get One Duplo and one Lego box. Duplo is for the ages of 2-5 yrs old and as for Lego is from 6-12yrs old.

I was so kiasu.. as Adriel has another 4.5yrs to reach 6yrs old!

This is at 50% - Normal Price RM269.90
This is at 50% - Normal Price RM169.90
These two sets are at 30%
Top Box for Adriel's cousin sis
Bottom box for Mummy's fren kid


(**Left out tis part when I saw the Comments fr my Frens!)
Ok, These pics below are for Pei Mun.. Kekeke.. I can't afford to buy Sooo many Lego!!

Ok all these are at 30%
Normal Price RM157.90
Normal Price RM129.90Normal Price RM369.00

Avillion Farm

After Daddy sent me down to work, Both Father and Son was having their fun time at the hotel farm. Frankly speaking, I dun even know there was a Farm area at the Avillion itself. I dun have the time to check it myself. Sigh! (Daddy did all the survey, each corner of the hotel on the second day)

Anyway, I am glad both of them have a great time together. And the Best of all, Daddy FINALLY took the camera and snap some great pics (not very good angle BUT acceptable) of Adriel with Bunny. I really felt bad that I didn't accompanied them :(

Is ok, my next holiday trip will be at Kuantan in less than 2 weeks... Yahoooooo

On the Bed at Avillion Resort

Hey! dun get me wrong what we did on the bed!!!!!! Do u think I will ever tell U??

Ok, yesterday both me and Hubby was so uneasy as we really felt Cruel as we didn't bring Adriel along. Since we have a nice room 'Why don't we bring Adriel over?' This is what we have been discussing the whole nite!!

"We actually sneak out from Adriel when as we passed Adriel over to my sis while he was playing at the Park at 9.30pm. My sis will help me to hand over Adriel to Aunty at 10.30pm after she's back from a relative wedding dinner."

So, after our guiltiness We decided to drive up to KL to bring Adriel down. Yes, Our decision is to bring him down so he can have his first experience walking on the sands.

Before reaching home, I gave Aunty a call that I will be collecting Adriel while Daddy will be busy packing Adriel's stuff.

As usual, when I reached the Aunty's hse Adriel was happily taking his shoes out to go home. So, after packing all the necessary stuff (in fact I over packed his stuff!!) without wasting time, we make our way back to PD.

We reached PD at 10pm and the journey only took us 1 hour and 15 mins.

When we reached Avillion, Adriel was so overly excited. Maybe this was his FIRST out trip and with new environment. He was actually hooked up with the Floor lamp and tried to boxing wit it! *Faint*. I was so worried he will actual break the Lamp and me has to end up paying for it.

After forbidden him from playing the floor lamp, the next thing was running around the toilet and room, crawling under the bed and exploring the cabinet under the TV - Glasses and mini fridge! Gosh.. Not an easy task, As expected!

So the only solution is putting him on the bed and let him do whatever he wants - which is a bit hard to retain him for long!.

Avillion Resort @ Port Dickson


Yes, I will be traveling tonight to Avillion Resort as I need to be at work tomoro.

Anyway, will be in PD till Tuesday as I need to finish up my work and drive back to KL. Sigh! This means, I can't enjoy my trip to PD. Sigh! Wat a waste. Staying in a beautiful resort but can't enjoy it. Sigh!

But thank goodness, Hubby promised to drive me down and accompany me for two days. He will become my official chauffeur (as always) and his reward will be ...*drum roll* Get to Relax in a beautiful resort without ME.

The room I was booked was 'Garden Resort' costing RM320++/nite. And this are their CHEAPEST room! Of coz they have better rooms 'Seaview' and 'Honeymoon rooms' but this definitely will cost a Boom. Anyway I am more than happy to stay at this room.

Ok... here is the overview of Avilion Garden

Left Door: Shower room
Right Door: WC room
Middle: Oh La La .. Bath Tub
King Size Bed with a Single Rest area at the corner
Which means can accomodate at least 3 persons in a room
View from another corner
Now, I really think I need a BREAK from work.
I NEED A HOLIDAY
