Vacation in Malaysia.. 13th June to 17th June (Part 1)

I haven't been blogging for a while. It seems that nowadays I don't feel like writing anything anymore. So many things have been happening to me, but I think now is not a good time to write about them all. Anyway, my blog is being read by a lot of people and I might risk hurting their feelings.

Well.. Let's talk about something light.. Shall we?

Last June school holidays, we had a vacation in Malaysia. Ayah & Suhaila, Along & family, Abg Ngah & family and us had a blast of a time there.
I never would have thought that I would have so much fun vacationing with my family. It was one of the best vacation ever. Surely one for the memory book!

We booked a villa in A'Farmosa waaaaaaaay in advance, hoping & praying that arwah Mak would be able to enjoy this with us.. probably we had this nagging feeling that it would be her last as she has not been in her best of health for the past few months before she passed away. We even planned the vacation to fit nicely into her dialysis schedule.

So the villa was already booked and paid in full. I was glad that we carried on with our plan instead of cancelling it as it showed that we really really needed it because there was that much needed bonding between our family members. We are also trying to keep Ayah's mind occupied as much as possible, not only during our vacation, but even now..

Hmm.. I wanted to talk about something light.. :) But I can't stop thinking about our loss..

Before I started crying again.. Here are our vacation photos.. Courtesy of Along & Family..
Oh ya.. I've been bugging Abg Yunos to snap a studio shot of Alysha for sooo long and he offered to take outdoor shots of my lil pwincess during our trip.. I think it's not ready yet.. I can't wait to see the result!

Without further ado..



Here we are.. The very first photo at our meetup point..



Here is a pic of Zafir drooling.. So cute.. I am sooooo gonna show this photo to his future gf.. Hahaha..



Ayah dozing off..



Here's a picture of our villa and the private pool.. I miss soaking in that pool!



Here's another shot of the villa..



Alysha staring at nothing.. LoL~



The 2 'A's in their own private world.. Alysha & Aiman..



Huda and Nabila..



Getting ready to play Captain Ball in the pool.. We made up our own rules as we play along and that includes pulling each others' shirts, splashing water on the face continuously so that the player can't see what's going on, trying to bribe the referee (Nabila)... Haha.. It was the best! After the game, our eyes were red because of splashing.. Poor Abg Yunos got kicked in the face and hit his rib by the side of the pool..



Here we are.. Getting ready for our seafood dinner at..........



.. Ikan Bakar Anjung Muara, Sungai Duyong Melaka..



Here's Abg Ngah.. just being his usual 'normal' self.. :)



From left : Huda, Lolong, Aiman, Alysha and Ngangah..



After our dinner, we went to Mak Bibik's house..




Ayah and his cucus..





The little stowaway sneaking into the back of Along's car..



Alysha and Kak Uda..




The next night, we went to the fun fair.. Located within the resort itself..
Here's a picture of Mak Busu trying out rodeo..



Ibu & Alysha riding into the sunset..



Along & Abg Long in the buggy. Yeah, we had to wear rubbish bags over our clothes to protect it from being dirty. The tracks were suspiciously muddy coz it hadn't been raining that day..



That's a picture of me & Azmi taken by Along.. She turned around and managed to snap it.. Both of us were trying to overtake the slowpokes in front of us.. Heh..



We managed to cut through them when my crazy hubby drove onto the huge puddle of water..  Yeah, we got totally drenched.. It was my first mud-bath experience and I don't even have to go to the spa to get it.. ;p.. It was craaaaaaazy but totally totally FUN!!



One of the most memorable part of our vacation.. Playing War Game using PaintBall!!
This is a picture of us doing the 'Oh-Som' (I don't know how to translate that.. But it's a way of splitting team by showing our palm or the back of our hands to divide a group of even number of players equally into 2).. Look at Azmi! Look at the excitement on his face.. LoL~ The result is that me, Azmi and Abg Yunos is in 1 group. Suhaila, Abg Ngah and Ayah as our opposing team.



Me, Azmi and Abg Yunos were wearing black on the left.. Look at Abu Sayyaf in the middle.. LoL~ The little group pose before killing each other off in the battle field..



Taking our positions before the war starts..



Ready.. 3.. 2.. 1.. GO!!



.. And then the blood (well.. it's just paint lah) started to flow.. (Yeap.. That's me taking cover behind the barrel on the left side of the picture)



That's Abg Ngah.. running to grab the flag before getting shot down by us!



Hahahahaha.. That's my team.. In black.. In various poses.. Priceless!!



The black team WON the war!!..  



Battle weary, we started exiting the battle field. Full of bruises, but it doesn't matter.. coz we WON!



Me and my darling hubby~



Ayah tersayang..



A picture of us..

I'll post the rest soon.. There's a part 2 to this post..

Such a nice family vacation Ayu though one person is missing, I believe she'll be happy seeing you guys get around as a family together.
