Ivan and I had a wonderful time spent with Annabelle and Abigail two months ago (July) during our short holiday trip to Sitiawan, Ipoh and Sungkai. The trips were simply beautiful and fun-filling. We have our dearest "papa" and "darling" to say thank you because he really plan out the trips with love and fully utilize time that we have for the kids. Don't play play... he "siap" prepared with itinerary for the holiday. :)
Sitiawan (8 June 2013)
We visited Sitiawan on 8 June 2013 for a family friend -Murali's wedding. We stayed in a hotel that equipped with swimming pool. You will be surprised that the hotel is clean and the swimming pool is well maintained for a small town as such. We enjoyed ourselves together in the afternoon in the pool and in the evening we attended the wedding in Murali's house. Before we head back to the hotel; we stopped at the fun-fair, Annabelle had her rides and my dear husband too have some "darts" game.
The next day, our greatest papa brought all of us to Teluk Batik beach for a "Return to Nature". We reach there by noon and it was nice to see Annabelle playing with the sand and touching the sea water. Abigail was enjoying the sea view and finally zzzzz away... The trip ended with the final itinerary that papa has planned, an earlier dinner at Kuala Selangor. Both the children were so tired that they sleep through along the journey back home in Klang.
O... if you asked, "Do you all attend wedding in Sitiawan or having a holiday now?" I will answered you:"Both!"
Ipoh 06072013 & Sungkai 07072013
Last month holiday in Perak, here we come to Perak again... What is so special there?! Hmmm, wondering this in your mind, isn't it?
On the 6th July, we attending our ex-colleague, Erwindo's wedding in Ipoh. We checked into the hotel where his wedding reception is, Kinta City Riverfront Hotel. It is a very nice hotel with of course a swimming pool. Ahha!, it is now a "must-check" facilities checklist before I booked a hotel for our holiday. We found that the kids really love water so much that this become part of our itinerary when we go for holiday...
The next day, we checked out from the hotel. We didn't head home. We checked into Felda Residence Hot Spring at Sungai Klah, Sungkai. The idea come upon as Ivan would like to give me a gift as our 8th year "together" anniversary. Sweet and lovely husband I have. This is the 1st trip the children to a hot spring. I was a little reserved if the hot water is okay for them. To my surprise, they loved it and enjoyed themselves to the maximum at this place. Fun... fun... fun... The highlight of this place is definately the hot spring spa, egg boiling station, kids water land... See the photo below to feel the fun that the children have.
Talking about itinerary, my husband and the lovely papa is really good in planning it. We literally followed the timing perfectly well for our holiday. Some will say, "Why there is a need for itinerary, after all this is a holiday!". I personally feel that, if we have one; we will be able to spend our time together to the most with our kids. We do not want to spend time deciding where to go, what time to meet, and most important no time wasted waiting for each other as time is precious to us for every holiday that we have.See our itinerary... Fantastic Planner?!
