Sun/Sand/Sea

My weekends are usually packed with tuition sessions, however, last weekend was an exception.
Last weekend was a time of relaxation for me.
My absolute thanks to my tutees and their parents for approving my leave. Hee!

Not many pictures were taken because I was spending a whole lot of quality time with my family.
Oh did I mention that I went with my elder brother, Bah and his family?



Jambi couldn't go because he is currently suffering from severe exam stress. Kesian.
My parents are too in love with their holiday home at JB and they were having their own 'couple retreat' at Horizon Hills with my Wak Gayah, Wak Zai and their spouses.

Cousins Nyla and Rooqy truly had a great time with each other.




Anyway, personally, I find Bintan to be a way bit over commercialised and overpriced.
Prices are rather extravagant, most in Sing/US dollars.
Thank God we brought along our instant noodles, canned tunas and whatnots.
Mr E cooked breakfast for all of us. Thanks Hon!
I didn't go for any spa because if compared to Tanjong Pinang, it's just not worth it. Too ex.
Nyla was swimming three times a day. Bayar niat abis.




'Mommy, next time, go for holidays like these la..Can relax relax. So good right? There's no shopping and you're not tired!'
Erm Nyla, truth be told, a great holiday trip for Mommy is one that involves a whole lot of cheap cheap shopping and cheap cheap massage and foot reflexology and manicure and pedicure.
Think Jakarta! Think Tanjong Pinang! Bliss! Yes I am a blardy cheapo.

Back to Bintan, we stayed at Angsana.
The beach was beautiful...white and sandy.
And so, a jump shot at the beach is a must!
Man, Mr E was such a lousy photographer, he managed to only snap ONE decent shot of his girls up in the air.
Tsk Tsk and so many excuses somemore for HIS failed attempts.

Mr E: Aiya, I accidentally pressed the button too fast la.
Wahlau Dy, we haven't even jumped yet lor.
Nyla, kaki kepit sikit.


Mr E: Why the both of you took so long to jump? Haiya!
Nyla, again, kaki kepit sikit.


Mr E: Aiya, both of you jumped too fast! Eh mommy, just won the WWF title is it?
Right. Are you implying I look like a wrestler or something? Cos it's not funneh!
Nyla, you ok girl? You look constipated.


Mr E: YES! I DID IT! SUCH A NICE SHOT!
One look at it and I am not impressed. Buruks! I'm speaking for myself.
Nyla, you look alright. Long legs yo've got there! ;)

I'm glad I went on this trip because I'm all rejuvenated and all ready for the work week ahead.
Bring it on.
Bottoms Uppers, let's get ready for the Mid Year exams!
