Our holiday trip to Kuala Terengganu, West Malaysia, from the 11th of Feb 2010 - 16th of Feb 2010.. :)

Thursday & Friday, 11th-12th of February 2010

Our entire family left Singapore at 8plus pm that evening, on the business class AEROLINE coach.. :)

We boarded the coach at Harbourfront Centre.

We reached the Malaysian Customs Checkpoint at 9plus pm..

We journeyed via coach all the way to Kuala Lumpur & reached Kuala Lumpur Low Cost Carrier Airport Terminal

around 2.30 am..

While waiting to check in on our flight, my entire family spent a few hours of our time chit-chatting over coffee & snacks at their coffeehouse there..

We checked in on our flight around 5.30am..

We flew to Kuala Terengganu, West Malaysia, via AirAsia..

We reached Kuala Terengganu, West Malaysia around 7plus am in the morning..

Our Malaysian relatives came to pick us up from the airport & we went for breakfast at the nearby hawker centre before going to visit a pair of relatives..

Checked into Primula Beach Hotel

that afternoon at 12pm..

We had our steamboat dinner that evening at the nearby beach side seafood restaurant called Restaurant Ocean..

That's us having a family dinner..

Following which we went for a stroll in the nearby kampung & beach.. :)

That's my aunts & a villager from the kampung caught in the act of plucking fruits from a tree..

Tsk Tsk.. So unglam.. Hahaha! :p

This poor monkey was chained to a kampung house.. He even "posed" for me to take his photo.. ;)

The beach's just in front of our hotel.. :)

Here are several photos I took of the beautiful beach at dusk..

All the holiday photos were taken via my iPhone cos' my Canon camera "died" on me when I arrived in Kuala Terengganu.. :(

Saturday, 13th of February 2010

We woke up to a beautiful morning & here are several photos I took (via my iPhone) of the morning that was breaking..

Following that was early morning buffet breakfast at our hotel lobby cafe! :)

After a sumptuous breakfast, we rested in our hotel room for about 2 hours before we brought both our sons for a splashing good time at our hotel's beautiful swimming pool! :)

They were delighted! :)

The hotel's swimming pool and the beach beside it are so beautiful.. Check out the photos I took of both via my iPhone..


We spent most of the day resting in our hotel room after that.. Watching movies on cable tv.. :)

That evening, our entire family, together with a few of our Malaysian relatives, had reunion dinner at Uncle Ng Restaurant..

Me.. Camwhoring in our hotel room.. :P

Shawn Ethan, trying not to laugh..

After which, a Malaysian relative of ours drove us to visit a relative..

After the visitation, that afternoon, all of us headed to Mydin Hypermarket

located in the Central district..

Mydin Hypermarkett was located right next to Giant Hypermart, however, the irony was the products sold in Mydin Hypermarket was much cheaper that products sold in Giant Hypermart..

Did a bit of shopping at Mydin Hypermarket & after which we had our lunch at the nearby Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet there.. :)

We took a taxi back to our hotel after that & we brought the boys to swim at the hotel's swimming pool again.. :)

That late afternoon, we tried the Hi-Tea buffet served at our hotel lobby cafe..

The selection was wide, the variety of dishes were good & the food was delicious! :)

Monday, 15th of February 2010

We had their buffet breakfast served at the hotel lobby cafe for the 3rd time in a row..

Late morning, we ( Shawn Ethan followed my mum & my aunties for a shopping spree at some batik factory) went to check out the nearby Astaka Shopping Centre..

We had our lunch at the Killiney Kopitiam outlet there.. :)

Took these photos (via my iPhone) of Jonathan Ezra while we were there.. He's so cheeky.. ;)

After hanging out there for awhile, we headed back to the hotel where we tried their buffet dinner served at the hotel lobby cafe which proved not to be as satisfactory as their Hi-Tea Buffet.. :p

Home Sweet Home day! :)

Photo-taking session of my family (via my iPhone again)!

Our entire family checked out of Primula Beach Hotel around 9.30am..

We boarded the coach & the coach ride to Johor Bahru was estimated to be around 7-8 hours.. But due to the traffic jam, we only reached Johor Bahru at 10pm that night..

It was a freaking long 12 hour coach ride!!! :(

Our Johor Bahru relatives came to pick us up from the coach/bus station that night & they drove us to & from Danga Bay Marina Club's Kong Inn Seafood Restaurant for a dinner cum supper makan session.. :)

A few photos I took via my iPhone while we were at Danga Bay Marina Club..

After which our entire family hired 2 taxis back to Singapore from Johor Bahru's Taxi Station..

We arrived back in Singapore around 12 plus am & by the time we reached home, it was 1am..
