Gong Xi Fa Chai : Journey to the East

Firstly apologies for being Ultra Lazy in updating this blog.

Well the month is february and its time for the chinese new year holidays again. If you are travelling by road, the ONLY destination to go during this time of year is the East cost of Malaysia. Travelling up north towards Penang or southbound towards Melaka and JB and you would surely be stuck in a horrendous traffic Jam.

Long before we had kids we went to cherating beach. Now with Hanna Jasmine and Reyza Khan being 3 and 5 years old each we thought we'd go for a road trip to Kuantan Pahang.

 

The road trip consisted of three famalies, ours, Naza's and Mawi's. (planned by the fathers and lead by Uncle Naza)

We started the trip with a convoy of three cars leaving by 7:30 AM. As expected the Jam started from the gombak highway all the way until Karak. after Karak it was smooth driving all the way to Kuantan. With some R&R stops in between, we reached The Swiss Garden Resort by around 1pm and was allowed to check-in straight into our rooms.

All in all it was a very nice retreat. Spent 3 days in Kuantan, Ate seafood, the kids had a blast playing snad castles, mandi laut, swimming in the pool. On the second day it rained the whole day so we went to the Kuantan shopping mall and caught a Lion dance show at the mall.

 

 

It was Hanna Jasmine's first time at the beach and although at first she didn't want to step on the sand, she was all ecstatic when Abah took her for a dip in the waves. Hanna couldn't contain herself and wanted to jump and go to the deep end of the beach. The waves were very strong and abah had to use all his strength to keep hanna's head above water when the big waves came in. Reyza had fun too but was big enough to handle some of the waves. Even so Abah made sure that Reyza was close or was holding on to Uncle Naza.

It was a good and much needed vacation for all the famalies. Next year perhaps we can go somewhere further :)
