Weekend At The Seaside
We went to Port Dickson (PD) last weekend. It is a seaside town just 70+km away from Kuala Lumpur, which made it a perfect getaway for day-trippers in search of a bit of sun and sea.
Going to PD was actually a last minute decision for us. We wanted to go back to my hometown but after checking with my sisters and being told that they are not going back this weekend, I decided to check whether the Company's apartment in Teluk Kemang was available. It was and more good news because my sisters agreed to head off to PD with us too.
PD was sure packed during the weekend, what with the school holiday going on. We were stuck in a bit of jam on our way to PD. Lucky for us, when we got to PD, it wasn't raining.
We stayed overnight but instead of having a BBQ night, we had a steamboat dinner in the apartment instead. No photos because I was too busy with the food!
Raimie wasn't too keen going into the sea the evening before but the next day, he was all raring to jump in with his cousin, Kimi.
Little Kimi getting nervous of the waves.

We went to the beach early in the morning and after horsing around there, we jumped in the apartment's swimming pool. The two kids sure had a lot of fun!
I'm glad that Raimie enjoyed the weekend although I must say, I was having a bit of withdrawal symptom being away from my notebook and cable TV. I purposely left behind my notebook and my latest "love", my Coffee Prince DVDs behind to just enjoy the company of my family.
That looks like such a fun and relaxing little trip. There's just nothing quite like enjoying the water and yummy food outdoors.
ReplyDeletewhat a nice getaway and i missed PD so much. glad you had a blast.

ReplyDeleteA day at the seaside sure opens up one's appetite! :)
@Life Ramblings,
ReplyDeleteYour trip to PD was sure a nice one, esp at such a nice hotel. :)
Beach is always fun for family trip.
ReplyDeleteLeaving your laptop behind? Good for you! Not sure if I can do that. Always "planned to" but ended up bring it anyway :p
@Evan's Mom,
ReplyDeleteI actually had thoughts of returning back for my dear ol' notebook that night. :D
I have not been to PD beach for ages. Hope the beach's clean and not polluted with garbage and what nots.
ReplyDeletebenghui is still sulking. i promised him this but i had car problems
ReplyDelete@Mei Teng,
ReplyDeleteSeems like the municipality did some sprucing of the beaches. Teluk Kemang beach look much better when we visited last weekend compared to what we saw a year earlier.
There are garbages, yes... We Malaysians need to be civic minded to not litter and spoil our nature.
@Bengbeng,
ReplyDeletePoor Benghui.
Benghui... next time OK? Ask Daddy to promise you that. ;)
oh this made me miss the beach even more! yes it's summer here now but still cool breeze and cold sea water!
ReplyDelete@Ayie,
ReplyDeleteIt'll be much hotter come August? Planning a seaside vacation with baby soon? ;)
yes we want to bring him to a nice small town by the bay and stay there for the weekends at least, also take the chance to dine in that great restaurant there to celebrate my bday and hubs bday even if it's a month apart
