Family Reunion

Deli picked me up from the office and headed straight to Malacca. Started the journey at 1.30pm. Decided to make an exit at Alor gajah instead of Ayer Keroh. TV3's having one of their carnival thingy and we didn't wannt get stuck in traffic. Finally reached Reviera at 4.30pm. Called Along - the clan's halfway to Ayer Keroh exit. Since we're celebrating Tok Ayah's birthday, i had to drag Deli to a nearby bakery for the cake. When we got back to the hotel, the whole troop was waiting by the carpark. Do you know how couples run to their partners with arms wide open, by the sea, slow-mo, with romantic music going on,etc in movies? That was pretty much what happened between the kids. They literally ignored the parents after that and be in their own merry world.

Right after everybody's all freshened up and made themselves comfy in the living room, Tok Ayah and Tok Mak were hailed from the next room for a little surprise party. Tok Ayah was really surprised! Heheh..

Had seafood dinner but not at Umbai. Abang (read: my BIL) suggested a place at Pantai Kundur. Not that bad! It's right by the sea and you can practically see the fishing boats. Abang told us that the boats with red lights are those going out to sea while those with greean lights are coming back to the mainland. We had a hard time believing what he said. Only because we were too busy stuffing ourselves silly.

The kids bunked in with their grandparents - yey for the parents!

Had heavy breakfast before the kids jumped into the pool. Tok Ayah had to make a move after breakfast to see his friends.

We parted around noon and as usual, the kids cried their hearts out, refusing to go their saperate ways. Even adik cried! Breaks ny heart to see them crying like that. We might go back to Johor in May and let the kids enjoy themselves.

See you people soon!
