Long Weekend It Was...

It's Sunday and i'm currently at the office with the kids. Decided to drop by the office and did some house keeping which is long overdue. Plenty of documents to file in and knowing how bad I am at documentation, I just had to do this on weekends avoiding the normal weekdays 'distractions'.
During the CNY holidays, we took the kids to the Cherating beach. What was supposed to be a 2 hours drive I ended up driving for 4 hours to Cherating. The traffic was crawling from Batu Cave right to the Karak toll highway. It took us nearly 2 hours to reach the East Coast highway toll plaza. I wanted to go to this little resort along the Kuantan-Kemaman east coast road but unfortunately, it was full. I didnt expect it to be full as the last time we went there for a day trip, it was empty! We were the only guest then and we had the swimming pool and the beach to ourselves. So instead, we head down to the beach next to this resort. Me and the boys had a great time and Zidani this time wasn't afraid to play in the water. Ayu and Momy picknicked by the beach enjoying the south china sea seabreeze.
We head back to KL at about 6pm after we stopped by this stall eating Keropok Lekor and fried rice. Slightly after 2 hours of driving we reached KL and the kids spent the night at their Wan's place.
There is something about the east coast that makes me sooo want to come over again and again. Especially terengganu, it makes me feel like home. The beach, food and the laidback lifestyle fits me well. My dream is to have beach house somewhere along the Merang beach near Kuala Terengganu. I know it's only a dream because for Ayu to live there, I need to build a 'Pavillion' grade shopping mall nearby. If not she will be mati kutu. So I guess, occasional visits to the east coast is a good compromise.
