Midweek

Hey, its midweek again. Like Kyrene, who is always asking when is it going to be Saturday and Sunday (cos Daddy doesn't need to go to work, can stay with us, and on Sun, we can all go to church), I also look forward to weekend as I don't need to take care of the family alone.

Ok, I need to include one more member of the family in this blog. That is Audrey, our pet dog, also known as the elder daughter of the family. Audrey just turned 6 yrs old in Mar. Overall, Audrey is a good dog, she is nice to Kyrene, love to sit on people's lap and get lots of tender loving strokes, and loves to go to the balcony in the morning to sun tan. Just one thing, she can be temperamental and throws tantrums at times.

Lately, Audrey has been throwing tantrums again. How does she throw tantrums? By pee-ing all over the living room. Just yesterday, she jumped onto one of our Ikea chair and pee on the cushions and chair. My friend was telling me that she is trying to mark her territory. Probably so, eversince I stopped work, I mopped the floor more often to make sure the house is sweet smelling and recently, we just throw away our sofa (which has been her bed as seen in this picture since we brought her home) and gave her a towel to sleep on instead. We did so, thinking that it will be cooler for her, and to prevent her from getting bumps on her back. I also suspect she is throwing tantrums whenever we do not spend enough time with her at home.

Port Dickson Weekend

Last Fri, we last minute decided to drive to Port Dickson and stayed at The Legend Water Chalets. We enjoyed ourselves very much. We reached there around 5pm, checked in, went out to buy dinner & cake, went back to the chalet to have our dinner and then celebrated Johnny's birthday.

We quite like The Legend Water Chalets. Its chalet standing over waters. Inside the unit, that is a small floor panel which you can see the water below. Too bad the water ain't the clear blue kind. The bathroom has a big bathtub, the roof of the shower area can be opened, so you can bathe under the sky. The room has a king size bed and a day bed. On the balcony, there are deck chairs for you to sit and relax and look out at the waters. The best part is one can stand at the balcony to fish. It would have been great if the view is full sea view instead of staring into the chalets opposite. Well, one can get full sea view if willing to pay more.

The next day, we drove around Negeri Sembilan without a map. So, we were just driving aimlessly around. Finally found a shopping centre to eat our lunch. After lunch, we decided to go buy some fishing gear, so that we can do some fishing back at the chalet. Yes, you can do fishing right at your own balcony. But when we got back, the tide was all the way out and our chalet was standing on muddy ground. Kyrene was so disappointed. But not for long, cos the tide came in soon after. We started to fish about 1 hr later. No big fish, just small small ones. For the rest of the evening, Johnny was busy trying his luck at fishing.

On Sun, we didn't feel like coming back to Singapore. The drive back home was a long one. We took the coastal route back to Malacca. We started to feel the heat of the weather in Malacca and Kyrene didn't feel too well after the bumpy drive. So, we had a quick lunch and headed straight back to Singapore via the North South Highway. Sigh.... another holiday over, when is the next one?
