The Trip

24th Thursday

We took off early morning, met his parents for breakfast at Rawang where they served SUPER-DELICIOUS tosei. I had two, the chatney was nice. We went on further up north and stopped at Bukit Gantang for lunch. Little AZ was having his 2-hour-afternoon-nap when we stopped by. So Daddy went and ate first with the rest of the gang while Mommy stayed in the car reading book. Then we swapped.
Stopped at Taiping to visit Tok Su's. Then continued the journey to Parit Buntar. Arrived Tuk's place before Maghrib and bathed AZ. Was happy to see Tuk. Mama cook dinner and we had family meal at 8:00 something, with me scratching the legs bitten by mosquitoes.
(wow writing it now seems so simple, I had mental notes to blog on how much did I fight for a peaceful journey with AZ moving around the car like a lion trapped in a small cage!)

25th Friday

Morning:
We were up late and Mama chased us into the cars without visiting the nearby Mak Ngah and Mak Teh. It's her in laws by the way, I couldn't bother. Was reserving this one nice piece of shirt for AZ to wear for the visit, carefully took it off in the car.
We took the ferry which routes to were confusing (too much of construction) and berbelit belit. AZ chose no other time to poo-poo but when the car is nicely parked in the Ferry. Daddy took him to bath (and said something about his poo-poo flying around in the loo!) with Mommy waiting outside enjoying the sea breeze. Arrived Penang Island and Papa took us to Penang Road straight away. AZ chose to sleep when we were about to arrive Penang Road. We found parking space, Daddy paid the tickets and both of us bonked with our books (Daddy in his PDA).  He had full two hours nap when Mommy's book started getting boring. Mommy poked his face and lifted him into the stroller to join the rest in the so-called-best-ever Nasi Kandar. I feel that it tastes better in KL. AZ screamed and woke up when we were having lunch.
Noon:
The boys went for Solat Jumaat and Mama and I pushed the stroller to Chowrasta Market to buy some jeruk. When the boys are done, they hit the Yin&Yang boutique which I think is very pricey. They spent nearly RM400, by the way. We went to Batu Feringhi then to check in at Casuarina Hotel. A very run-down place but I chose not to say much. It was Mama that did the booking, how would she feel when the whole vacation was spent listening to us complaining? Told that to dear Husband who gleefully feel glad that his wife is a superb one.
Took AZ right away to the beach which the wave has somehow frightened him. We then took him to kiddie pool instead which he hesitated to love. We first splashed the water around and when the cold water hits his first, he gave us his first grin-to-ear smile. Then the little palms can't just stop splashing the water. He pretended jumping into the water (into Daddy's arm, as a matter of fact) and laughed all the way. I handed him over to Mama to take a dip at the 9ft deep pool. Had a few laps but was too tired then.
Night:
We went to Esplanade which has been moved temporarily. Few dishes were on the tables: laksa, kuey-teow, sotong bakar, sotong kangkung, prawn mee, rojak buah, ice kacang, fried oyster (what?). Was half full when I saw people selling Pork Intestines Satay and my tummy decided to feel weird. Came back to the hotel with AZ asleep, changed him and fed him and dozing he went again. Mama came to our room to look after him sleeping and we went out to Batu Feringhi night stalls.
Dear hubby found a Man-Utd jersey with a matching kiddie size. Swooped those. I found white flair beach pants and nice t-shirt (with the smallest imitation logo I could find). Swopped those too. Dear hubby splurged one some DVDs. Then back to the hotel.

26th Saturday

Woke up and Dear Hubby reminded on how the night went without him getting laid. I screamed, "Then why, do you think,  I asked you to move the baby to sleep on the floor last night?". Felt like I won! We however teased each other all the way to breakfast and to the beach.

AZ was still frightened by the wave. Funny to see how the he walked on the sandy beach. He moved one foott up while the foot was loosely on the ground.We first get him seated on the sand, which he refused and firmly sat on Daddy's lap.  Then we taught him how to play with the sand with the new sand-set Mommy swooped at the night stall. When he finally was happy with the sand, Daddy moved him out from the lap and he couldn't be bothered. We hid all his toes inside the sand and he grinned. We built simple castle, he swooshed them down and he grinned, wider. Daddy then took him for a quick dip in the pool.  We went up, Mommy bathed him up cleaning all the sands in between his legs, dressed him in new clothes and prepared a bowl of cereal. Mommy then passed AZ to Tuk next door to be fed. We quickly went inside the bathroom to have a quickie but then, deciding that the floor was too cold, had it in bed after locking the connecting door. Who need foreplay when the whole weekend was already been filled with teasing? It was fast but rather explosive and satisfying!! Mommy's went thumb up with the other palm on her mouth!! (the deaf way of saying OhMiGod!)

Noon:
Checked out and found out that the car battery was dead. We jump started the poor fellow and looked for a mechanic. Slept in the car while the mechanic fixed the battery. AZ was outside, playing with Tuk Wan and the uncles. When the car was finally ready, we drove again to Penang Road where AZ chose to sleep, again! We paid the parking ticket, read our books (oh God, Mommy's was a boring one!) when he finally woke up. Was a bit grumpy, wanting to be in Mommy's arm all the while Mommy's having murtabak until Tuk came and carried him away.
We hit the road after that, planning to take the bridge but never could find the road out from Georgetown. Since the Jetty was nearby, we again took the Ferry which AZ enjoyed walking in between the bikes.

Late Evening.
Arrived at Tuk's after stopping by at Pak Din's house at Bukit Mertajam.

Sunday:

Heading home. Met Apak,Mak and Alang (who had just coming back from sending Yan to Uniten) at the Restoran Jejantas of Sungai Buluh R&R. Bought them a Smartag and topped their Touch'n'Go of RM100. Least that I could do!
