just another blog: Our Little Mini Vacation

It's been a while since we had a vacation just the three of us. The last one we had was a speedy gonzales' style which came and left as fast as I can say speedy gonzales...

Had to sort of some things last year 2009... a bit bumpy here and there.. and I guess I was just tired... cupcakes, cakes, work, house chores... baby... and felt like there was just too much things goin on and I sooooo needed the rest...

So Erwin and I took a few days off and brought our little boy to our little mini vacation.. a 1 day 1 night stay at Hilton Kuching... we holiday-ed like nobody's business esp in terms of the 'makan-makan"... technically speaking we never left the hotel for food... we just press the hotel lift button and went down to the Waterfront cafe... for buffet lunch... buffet dinner... and the day after the buffet breakfast... maybe I should call this our little mini buffet holiday instead...

Both Erwin and I agree that we splurge on FOOD... we love our food.. fine dining... eating BUFFET in particulars I suppose... apart from the variety of food to choose from... we know that there will always be something for little Emir's tummy...

Of course they came along....

While waiting for daddy to arrange check in:

All three tummy(ies) growling - mummy daddy and Emir off to Waterfront Cafe...

After makan... we slept kwang kwang kwang...

One of the reasons that we wanted to check in was to bring our little Emir to the kiddy pool. First time ever!!! He loves the water... he loves the bath tub... we practically had to use every trick in the book to get him out of the bath tub... or his small basin at home... after every bath... We're so excited for him. Alhamdulillah the weather was warm and sunny... not too hot that it'll scorch our skin...

(Lucky we went to the pool that day - the day after it rained)

Before we reach the kiddy pool.. we would need to walk pass the adult pool... he was already gleefully saying "Aik" (Air)(Water)! "Ma-nik" (Mandi/take a bath) ... and was already trying to squirm out of my arms...

He had a blast and wonderful time and wasnt even scared to dive in! He had a good 1 hour pool time before we had to carry him crying all the way back to our room... for a second round of swimming in the bath tub (to stop his crying and take his mind off the pool!)...

Waaah! He had a good time and that's all that matters.

So tired after the swimming session...
That's it.. he's going to a swimming class soon ... definitely! and I'm sure he'll love it!

After all the activity... three tummy(ies) growling again...mummy daddy and Emir off to the Waterfront Cafe... for their international dinner buffet... yummy!

We were so busy eating, didnt even have time to take pictures and the only pic taken of food is this haha:

The spread is quite good... but mighty pricey though...

Then we slept like we've never slept before... bed sheets and pillows in the hotels feels so much wonderful don't you think... most probably even more since you're paying to use them hehehe...

Then next morning... wake-y wake-y... three tummy(ies) growling again... mummy daddy and Emir of to... you guessed it! Waterfront cafe again... for breakfast buffet!

Among the three buffet(s).. the best value for money would be the lunch buffet. Do give it a try folks! Except... you'd be carrying a full stomach throughout your afternoon session work. Hence it is a definite NO-NO to binge.. so doesnt serve the purpose of a buffet is it.. in that case, I change my mind... their breakfast buffet is the best! You can eat your heart out without guilt as breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

All in all it was a good decision to take that little mini vacation. Our full attention was on that little fellow and that little fellow enjoyed himself tremendously! The friday before was a holiday so he had the two of us all by himself for 5 whole days and no nursery for him on monday and tuesday...

Guess what he's doing? See-ing himself "be - nang" (berenang/swim) in the mirror:
