A Mini Holiday

Sorry for the silence lately, but we just got back from a 'mini holiday'. I wouldn't exactly say we went "away" because we were actually just nearby at Marriott Putrajaya. It's even nearer than going to Nenek's house!

Daddy had meetings there which stretched for 3 days from Tuesday until Thursday so Mummy decided it would be fun for us to bunk in with him there.

And fun it was!

Daddy's meeting started bright and early on Tuesday morning so the boys and I went separately later in the afternoon. After we arrived, said hi to Daddy and unpacked, we headed straight for the pool. A splashing time for us especially since there was nobody else using the pool at the time. Once our fingers and toes were sufficiently wrinkled up, we went back to the room for a shower before dinner. But not before chatting with the hotel staff at the pool who were quite taken with Abang and Adik.



Dinner was interesting. We ate at the Japanese restaurant because the other restaurants were full. I wasn't too sure whether the boys would enjoy the food, though. But I guess since they didn't have a big lunch plus the swim helped make them hungry and they were just gobbling their noodles down! Without even being fed by Mummy or Daddy, amazing!

Actually, one reason for running off to Putrajaya was to escape the mercun that goes on every festive season. So it was extremely ironic that within half an hour of putting the boys to bed, suddenly we heard a very loud "Fffffffftttt-TOOM! FFfffffffttt-TOOM! TOOM! TOOM!"

There was a fireworks display going on at the field right in front of the Marriott which just so happens our room overlooked. Non-stop "Ffffffttt-TOOM" with the occasional "Fffffttt-TOOM crackle crackle crackle" for a solid 15 minutes. Amazingly enough, Abang slept through the entire display, without any movement whatsoever. Adik, however, had to have his ears cupped by Daddy (while Mummy tried taking pictures of the fireworks but they didn't turn out very nicely).


The next morning, I drove the boys home to pick up some things which we forgot to bring and then went back to the hotel. More water play in the swimming pool, a walk around the hotel, lunch for Abang and Adik and Mummy was bushed! (I thought it was very interesting that both of them ate very well during our stay there. Usually, they're so busy playing and experiencing new stuff that they're not interested in eating. Not that I'm complaining.)

By dinner time, I had decided to call in room service. Daddy had teambuilding activities and dinner in KL so it was just the three of us. The next morning I packed up ready to head for home. We were also concerned about Harun and Thomas, even though Atok and Cikgai did promise to feed them twice a day while we were gone (and they did).

Fun as it was, even the boys were chanting, "I want go home. I want go home."

Home sweet home!
