A road trip to Malaysia with Ah Gong, Ah ma and Xiaoshu
The first day was uneventful. We drove for a couple of hours to KL and only checked into the serviced apartment in the evening. We did some shopping and turned in early.
The hotel, Hibiscus, at Port Dickson was stunning. We stayed in one of the villas that looked out into the tranquil sea and we even had our own swimming pool in the villa.
The festive mood
Dinner was Japanese food at one of the malls.
We ordered a lot of food but food was really affordable. We were bursting at the seams and totally satisfied.
The next day! Took a boat out to the corals to feed the fish. The water was murky so we did not see many fish.
Headed to the farm after that. The children never tire of feeding animals.
It was an eye-opening experience to be so up close with an ostrich. We could touch its feathers and even its muscular thigh under its wings!
They were really greedy birds, so this one followed us closely and wanted more snacks. They would peck at the grains in our palms but it was not painful at all.
Went to another park called the Dinosaur Park. Nothing fancy, our Singapore Zoo had better exhibits. But tong was thrilled as usual, maybe he could be a paleontologist in future? ha.
Well, we could probably guess where papa got his dramatic genes from...haha..
All of us took the carriage ride, wondered if we had been too heavy for the little pony.
Jun went for a dip with ah gong while the big ones went to the water theme park with papa!
The oldest (technically ah ma was older than ah gong by a few months) and the youngest ones in the Tay extended family.
What a relaxing swim.
The trio lazed on the humongous floats. Jie's favorite was the seashell.
Ha, she was pretending to be a pearl. Our little precious pearl.
The zany flamingo and the one who was lounging on it. Or was it the zany human?
And we had the crocodile hunter.
They were sliding down at such speed. These daredevils loved these adrenaline-inducing things.
Not papa's cup of tea actually. He actually got injured while playing on one of the smaller slides. He challenged tong to slide down as fast as one could, rolled himself into a ball, careened down the slide and flew off the protection barrier to land hard on the sand. Ha.
Okay, the kids LOVED this place, we would possibly come back again, perhaps with the cousins in future!
