The Beach, the Unfortunate Cow and two birthday cakes...

3 days of weekend and public holiday. Truly enjoyed our family adventure. At the last minute hubby decided that we shall check into Nexus REsort Karambunai..yay!! And we were given a very pleasant surprise when they upgraded us to the Borneo Room. The view from our balcony was perfect.


Without wasting anymore time than necessary, we brought the kids to get wet and dirty!




The next day it rained while the kids were still in the pool so we scurried off to the Nexie Club..what a shame, we were supposed to meet up w Michele n her bunch at the Lagoon. But hujan ka tak hujan ka te boys didn't care much coz they were having a blast indoors too!

I so adore this little angel who liked to tag along my Ariff, her name is Lucy. Punya cute her golden locks, geram I..she will ring the bell in one of the "houses" and say LUNCH TIME!!! (say it in British slang)

So instead we met for lunch at 1B kopitiam and had a boisterous time with 5 kids and 6 adults squashed into a booth..kecoh! Barulah betul-betul rasa macam kedai kupi. There are 2 birthday boys in this pic..Happy Birthday William & Samir!

Monday, Aidiladha..morning we went to hubby's kampung in Tg. Aru Lama..homecooked soulfood..I dug in like no tomorrow..I wonder when will I be able to contribute dishes to the buffet??? *sigh* hopefully next year I have more free time to cook.
Si Nabil followed his dad to the surau to see the orang kampung sembelih lembu..it was blood everywhere!! Aiyerr so gory..that night he had a nightmare eheheheh kesian..traumatised I think to see the "moo moo" being cut to pieces.

His elder brother didn't bother, he was having fun with his cousins under the house.

On our way out, we bumped into these 2 boys carrying something in a cardboard box when the box gave way (bocor), imagine nokotigog my heart tengok kepala kerabau tergolek-golek. Then this one smart boy took off his baju and made a makeshift "whatcha-ma-callit" to carry the cow's head to where ever it was going..I think his mum will have a heart attack.

Then finally we were at my kampung and just in time to celebrate two beautiful ladies' birthday..yang belakang tu pura-pura lagi inda mau blow the candle (that's one big bday girl) and the sweet Alysha standing at the far right was trying hard to blow her candles.. As usual it was a gluttony fest whenever we are here..and couldn't get enuf of the good food, we tapau home some more..sedap bah..didn't even had the time to think about taking photos..next time lah.

The happiest moment for me was to see my kids enjoying themselves so much, having great fun with their cousins and kampung halaman. I don't want them to grow up into a total "city mouse", they must have some part of the "country mouse" in them as well and have a wholesome life. Much like what I had while growing up.
