Weekend Get-Away

As the Kembara's problems is bugging me, dear cik HB popped the news that he was going for a short course in PD on the weekends and family was allowed to come along. Yahoo!!! It was just a perfect time for me to release my stress.

That Friday I was on unpaid leave coz my boss was really inconsiderate to allow me to take the paid leave (I still have 2 days more before my last day working but only entitled for the month of July). Instead he suggested that I take bus to work. Well, I said I'll figure out on the bus thing but I won't come on Friday.

Being at home on working day somehow gave me different feeling. Like, I feel like a real homemaker. And within half a day I managed to do quite a lot of house chores. From laundry, sweeping, even dusting and then cooking, I was so glad I can see my house in order.

We left home at 3 pm but we stopped at Jusco and later Giant to buy swimming suit for the girls and some foods. We only arrived at Tiara Beach Resort at 7pm. As HB was busy with his course, I was left with the kids and we just lepak in the room watching TV.

Tiara Beach Resort has huge swimming pools and surrounded by man-made beach. So the next morning I took the girls down to the pool. Nabihah enjoyed being in the water but Nabilah refused to get into the water. Poor Nabihah, she just had to play at the shallow area. I can't leave Nabilah by herself if I were to take Nabihah into the deep side. So Nabilah kept playing with the sand and Nabihah kept demanding that I take her into the deep water. After 1 hour and since we couldn't really enjoy ourselves, and it was already hot, I decided it was time to get back to the room.

But being in the room with the girls had nothing to do, really drove me crazy. They kept asking for cartoon show, not understanding that this TV is not TV at home with Astro. My mistake, I didn't bring the colouring books and crayon with us.

So when HB took us out for lunch, I quickly went to a sundry shop to buy some exercise books and crayons. So the whole afternoon I had a moment of peace as the girls were occupied with the conteng activities. And late afternoon we went down to the pool again as HB had free time the whole evening to night. This time I could enjoy playing in the water with Nabihah as Nabilah being entertained by HB.

The loved ones. Note that Nabilah (in blue suit) looked so tense in the water

That night while dining, due to exhaustion, the girls fell asleep on our arms. It was so difficult to eat while handling a sleeping child. I was tired too, I guest when you spent long hours in the water, it wears you out.

Sunday afternoon we left Tiara Beach Resort and reached home feeling better. I'm glad we spent the weekends there. A get-away really improves my emotion even though it is a short one. I'm glad it was free too (for accommodation only, we paid for our foods).
