Mother's Day weekend

During Mother's Day weekend,my husband managed to take 2 days off. Sunday and Monday. And we decided to went to Kudat, again. :)

And he got surprise for me , a cake ( not nice because bought last minute in the shop) and the other is : that he will stop to smoke for me! huh.. I was like expecting something more tangible present for my self?

But I think, it is nice for him, to be determined to stop to smoke starting on Mother's Day.
Now it is still too early to tell the result, we see how it goes, I hope it will be permanent !
I will be so proud of him if he really stop to smoke.
After nearly 10 years of marriage I never ask him or persuade him to stop smoking, neither that I encourage him. Because I believe, like anything else, it MUST come from himself, his own will . No matter how much I nag , if he still want to smoke , he can just do it behind my back.
Hmm .... I shall give you all the update about this stop smoking thing later on..Hopefully it is a positive update!

On the way to Kudat, we stopped at Kota Belud Tamu, and here are some of my favorite pictures


One of my childhood 's fave drink: AIR TEBU!


My favorite Malay Cake : Penjaram , We called it kue cucur in Indonesia

Bunnies!!! Mom can we buy one?
Mom said : "NO WAAAY!!!!"

Martabak! My dh likes this one. Do you notice that my dh loves to wear batik? LOL all are fully sponsor by his Father In Law
Finally on the beach ( pantai bak bak) with the Tip of Borneo at the back.
This is their favorite thing to do on the beach! Shells searching.


Posing with papaRun, run.. it is sand time!


Maya the sand digging expert

Priceless , to see them running fre at the beach, without the worry of the cars, or falling down.
The sun were blazing hot but the breeze balanced it down.


Dig , dig, dig....Making sand creams, sand cakes

Ok girls, so now listen to the boss here....
Waiiit !!!

Indy enjoying her self on the beach, here, she was doing her dance.





The monsters in the playground

This is how you catch a Playground's monster

Didn't want to miss the chance to swim
The Marina golf and resort
2nd day on the other side of the tip of Borneo ( sorry forget the name , Pantai Kulambu? something like that) This is where there will be the high end resort Kudat riviera. We think it is still under construction but we can see a few of it luxurious bungalows already.

Playing with new companies

"Pa.. I want to go there...."

You can "walk" to the island.

Dividing their shells

My husband fall in love with the beach there. And the fact that there are not many people in that beach.

Weekend is here again, Enjoy yours!

I love the beach!

Eh, Pantai Kelambu going to have a resort already?

:( Soon people will be flocking the place. So selfish of me.. But people always ruin beautiful beaches. Just look at Bak-Bak.

Love all your pics. Cant wait to go back to Kudat. Dunno when though.

this is really great experience and exposure for both your girls.

and romantic does not always mean that the holiday HAS to be only the two of you. can see that you and all your loved ones really had a great time.

love the sandy beach & beautiful island. wish i could go there in the near future - could also meet up with you ladies too!

The picture of your girls running freely on the beach is, as you say, priceless..I love beaches with not so many people around!!

When my father was still in the army, we used to move from one army camp to another..mostly in Melaka where our house would either be very near to the beach or sea..one of my dad's last posting, our quarters was kind of on a higher ground..my room had a balcony & sliding door which opened up to the view of the sea :)

yes the high end resort will be there very soon. A bungalow can cost from USD 800 and up! wow...
For me bak bak is still ok. Still not too many people , but maybe for you since you know the place since your childhood for sure it is not at nice as before.
Look at Bali now. It is a very nice place but over crowded with tourist and over exposed.

Mabel:
Yup , come here please if you got the chance! :)
Ya know we doesn't really hope for romantic gateway anymore. But my dh really wants to get a day just with me , do nothing on the beach.
Just to keep the marriage alive :p

SOHO Mama
Is it nice to have the chance to run freely on the beach. Specially if the children grow up in the big city with only malls and man man structures.
