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!

Are U as Daring as ME?

WARNING: Don't try tis IF you think is not safe to your toddler

The reason why we try tis Stunt is because we saw an 'Amoh' trying to do this to his 3yrs old son!. So, Hubby was asking my permission can he do tis to his son? Mmm... Ok lar, never try never know!

Results: He's Loving it!!!!

The Beach Boys

Was trying to put a tittle to this post... Couldn't think of any till this songs spinning in my head.

Sang by Beach Boys
Aruba, Jamaica Ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, Bahama come on Pretty Mama (yeah! Pretty Mama)
Key largo, montego Baby why don't we go
Jamaica
Off the Florida keys

These a place called KOKOMO
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all....

Clinging to his Daddy as he doesn't like the wave of the beach!

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

A Romantic Gateaway @ Hyatt Kuantan

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

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

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 :)
