we are heading east...

we are spending our weekends here...

Happy Long Weekends everyone!

an evening @ Pantai Batu Burok

One of 'must do' things bila balik KT is pergi pantai...normally we all akan pergi Pantai Teluk  Ketapang, which is nearer to my house..but being told by my mom...skrg ni the beach is under some sort of construction? 'bina tambak' whatever so it's gonna be a bit messy...we opted for Pantai Batu Burok...Nowadays..Pantai BB dah tak boleh mandi..back to my old days..i still remember...we can still mandi-manda...now my kids tak boleh merasa all those things...anyway the peolple will come here for sightseeing and taking fresh air...and now they are crazy playing kites....including my kids...

 choosing the 'right kite'

cloud 9

on our way back to my hometown..Kuala Terengganu...

"cloud nine" is the designation given to "cumulonimbus" clouds, the highest-flying clouds around, making them an apt metaphor for being "on top of the world."

Avillion, Port Dickson and Avi Spa : Day 2

We started early the next day....hoping to cover whatever we can before we ended our stay here...me and hubby woke up at 6am and after we had our solat subuh we just chit chatting on the daybed....we opened the window to have a fresh air sambil dengar desiran ombak...it was so calming...actually 3 of them dah occupied our king size bed since last night! hahaha...

The kids woke up at 6.45am and we went for a buffet breakfast...at 7am..and we were among the earliest..the food is o.k..they have usual spread  - salad & fruit bar, bread, cereals, juices, popular breakfast items like sausage, baked beans, hash brown, pancakes... porridge, nasi lemak, egg station as well as roti canai station..

Then, we started our morning walk...and enjoyed the fresh air and greeny scenery along the way...they have a mini pet farm housing kampung animals like rabbits, hens, chickens, tortoises....we could feed and touch them...they have designated time...my kids are so attracted to the pets...along the way to the beach they have another pool only for adult...and later we landed at the beach area....i stayed with arissa...enjoying the fresh air and seaview while both my eldest and second tu nak swimming lagi...

pet farm

arissa still geli dengan sand!

they really swim!

we spotted this beautiful peacock on our way back

Then...i headed to Avi Spa! left the kids with hubby....my appointment was at 1130am, i was early by 15 minutes..saja nak hang around kat Avi Spa...The spa is housed in a modern chalet overlooking the sea...which is totally different from the rest of the chalet..initially i thought it was a 'private chalet' owned by somebody? hahaha..the building itself already promising something relaxing...

the colour scheme of the interior furnishings..

very soothing with pale shades of brown and white and teal...

I chose to have a 60 minutes aVi signature rub which cost rm220+. This is the most recommended if you just have a short time to spend...they also have body scrub, wrap, bath, hair, facial and rituals treatment as well. This Spa is also rewarded as 'best new spa' by malaysia spa & wellness awards 2009.wow! 

the changing room...

The spa suite is overlooking the sea...did not manage to take pic as i did not bring my camera along during the treatment...i was halfway asleep..thru the massage session...so relaxing and calming...as i was being pampered with a sea view in front...with a very pleasant smell..and a soothing music too! how i wish it could be continued another hour hahaha...then finally i was served with a pot of hot tea...so refreshing at the balcony area which you can have your time relaxing and breathes fresh air with seaview in front..

Overall...i was very satisfied with our stay in Avillion...no regret! we had such a great time! and  i will surely come back here another day for a great weekend getaway! and 110%  for another spa treatment at Avi Spa...

Avillion, Port Dickson : Day 1

We had our great weekend at Avillion, Port Dickson, sponsored by lovely wife, lovely mummy for her hubby's birthday...and this is our first time here...We booked the water chalet about a week earlier...we actually looking for a resort-like stay sebab really-really need a 'break'...

We arrived at 1.30pm and after check-in my kids dah tak sabar-sabar nak pergi swimming pool...we even tak sempat to have lunch first...they have so much energy! I am very satisfied with the surroundings...fascinated even before we arrived at our water chalet...i enjoyed the scenery....impressed with the greens...and the cozy yet comfy chalet...

enough of the chalet...we had our lunch at the village restaurant beside the pool...the kids nak continue swimming after lunch! then i made my way back to the chalet with Arissa...this budak kecik tak boleh mandi lama-lama kat pool...so we had our shower and took our relaxing cozy nap....the other two with the daddy just came back to the chalet at 6pm! Oh Gosh they were not tired at all!

my eldest! enjoying the slide...

they enjoyed very much!

with ayah a.k.a life-body-soul guard!

I went for a walk after my nap..Arissa still asleep..i made my way to Avi Spa! the 'must do" thingy...to book for a 60 minutes body massage...i can actually just call but saja nak brisk walk to the place.It was fully booked till 9pm and i need to come back tomorrow...at 11.30am just nice before we check-out....and i enjoyed the scenery along the way! 

Avi Spa

white sandy beach..a private beach for guests

We had our dinner at our challet....dine-in menu was't so bad after all as the kids were 'super-hungry'..they slept early as i promise to bring them to the beach and morning walk...tomorrow, so we will have an early breakfast, then again they can enjoy themselves in the pool....and i can't wait for the 'body massage' at Avi Spa! Our night was so peaceful....
