Malaysian holiday - Part II

Here are the remaining pictures from my recent Malaysian holiday.

When we first arrived at the resort, we had a nice fruit basket waiting in our room. Maybe with me being pregnant and all, I was very fond of eating plenty of fresh fruits! Especially tropical fruits which are usually very expensive in Melbourne!

One night when room service came over, I asked the lady if I could have a slice of papaya tomorrow as it was very sweet and yummy. And guess what? The next morning we got back to our room after swimming, and she left me 4 slices of fresh papaya on the bed! I asked Grumpy if he wanted some, he said No. Oh jeezz so I had to stuff myself with all the papaya in the world because I did not want to be rude to the room service lady. 

Peacocks were always coming to visit us at our villa. This time it was 3 peacocks and we were too afraid to come out from our room!

All set for the beach!

I absolutely loveeed the daily routine of putting on my bikini, a kaftan, a hat, slap on some sun screen, iPad on one arm.. then look for a nice spot by the beach or by the pool. The best part of this 5 star resort is that the staff are friendly and the service is amazing. They have people bringing us plenty of towels, icy cold water, food, anything you want!

Emerald Bay Beach

The only downside about this place is that the beach is really not that great. It is a private beach, but only half a mile. It is completely safe to swim here because there are no jelly fishes. The water is not as blue and clear like the other islands in Malaysia, and instead quite murky. However, after experiencing freezing cold beaches in Melbourne (even on a hot 30 degrees day in Melbourne, the water is very cold and really requires a lot of courage from me to jump inside!) Grumpy and I were more than happy to swim in Emerald Bay Beach where the water temperature was absolutely perfect.

On our last day in Pangkor Laut Resort, we had to check out by 11am. I woke Grumpy up bright and early (No Sleeping In, No!), practically dragged him to breakfast, and then we got changed into our bathing suits, and we were back at the pool swimming! Making the most of our few hours left! Haha

Must I really go home?

We took the boat transfer back to the mainland, and as expected, my father was already waiting for us at the jetty, to drive us back to KL. However, we stopped by at Setiawan to have lunch with our family friends. We had the very popular o-chien (oyster omelette) and sweet and sour fish stomach soup.

This three day trip to Pangkor was definitely the big highlight of my Malaysian holiday. It was a short escape from all the KL madness and a nice enough trip for a bit of luxury and rest.

A few days later, back in KL, I met up with my BFF (we are hardly... hardly in Malaysia, together, at the same time). We hung out with some bears at Pavillion..

My favourite bear, Paddy.

Of course, we went all out in KL city, and here are the boys, happy, high, drunk, at 2.30am, in Subang, eating greasy burger Ramly's by the side of the road..

When will we get to have fun in KL like this again?
