The Holiday

It was a fairly long weekend for me, cos the fun began on Thursday already! As it was just the perfect timing for all of us - semester break, the mark of freedom after SPM, unemployment , it was the perfect time for a family trip! As for Dad, he took leave from work of course. With a discount voucher from Resorts World, we got ourselves a 3 D2N at Awana Kijal Terengganu for only RM338. That's a steal cos the normal room rate is RM300 per nite. Everyone was looking forward to the trip, even Daddy made a travel checklist! *grins*

We started out journey from KL at 7+ on Thursday morning, and only got to the resort at 3pm. On the way to Awana Kijal, we made a few pit stops. First stop was Bentong, we had breakfast there, and dropped by to see my grandparents. 2nd stop was Sg Lembing that used to be a busy mining town, it's more like a ghost town now. We also visited the Sg Lembing Museum - it was pretty interesting to look at the artifacts and equipments from the mining days.
We were all pretty exhausted by the time we got to Kijal. A good rest followed by a relaxing dip in the pool.

Day 2 was spent lounging in the resort, as it's the monsoon season now, we can't do any watersports, so we had a go on the ATV bikes ! It was awesomeeeee. Then it was a routine of swimming, sunbathing, eating, and more swimming ! We also had TimTams with tea in the room! Yum...
Day 3 was departure day, we left Awana Kijal with a heavy heart, it has been a great time with the family. We left Terengganu with lotsa keropok ikan and lekor of course. Had lunch at Karak before heading back to KL.
And then my next trip started from there, I went down to Seremban to meet the ji muis and also for a wedding photoshoot. It has been a great time catching up with them, and having pillow talk in Seremban Inn was fun! Am looking forward to the next trip with the girls.
