We had a marvelous time staying in Pangkor Island Beach Resort (formerly known as Pan Pacific Pangkor).

Upon arrival at the resort, a warm welcome comprising of some hula-hula singer greeted us. The adult was served some cordial drinks and the kids had grapes fondue. Lucky kids!

Kids was squirming the moment they saw the beach and pool from their hotel room. I took the kids out right after we drop off the luggages in our room since Daddy need to have a quiet time to finish up his ‘homework’. Furthermore, Daddy is supposed to be working. We are the one tagging along .

Every beaches has it’s own specialty. In Pan Pac, the beach is filled with lots of tiny crab. And I mean really a lot! It is quite entertaining watching the crab pushing out the round sand and soon it formed some star like thingy.

Whenever we go near, the crab will hide themselves in the hole. Seconds later, they will resurface again. Baby Princess refused to walk on the beach because of this so I have to carry her into the water. And at the sea shore, we could easily gather lots of lala (clam) by just digging our hands into the sand and came out with a fist full of lala.

We truly enjoy ourself – the white sandy beaches, clear water even though it is not crystal clear, the buffet spread is so scrumptious and the kids never had enough of the pool. Me, on the other hand was not happy hiding under the shades playing ‘baywatch babe’ (aka lifeguard!). Boohoo!

Natural Body scrub

One minute he is relaxing. Another minute…..

Must be something that he saw in the water. I was yelling, “Wei, watch out my camera!”

He scares me with that stare! I could easily fallen in love with him.

A few photographs here showing off the beauty around the resort. I am still trying to figure out why does the foot prints seem like bulging instead of cave-in. Crappy!

While waiting for dinner, the sun starts to set. I took this at 6.45pm from my hotel room’s window.

I was quite lazy to go down to the beach again. But the more I look at the sky, the more I beh tahan. So I drag Daddy to be my photographer even though he was a bit reluctant at first. I really drag him! This should be a great opportunity to have myself shot in some yoga poses in silhouette.

But then…gawd knows what happen. My mind went totally blank. I can’t think of anything that comes out nice in silhouette. While I stand there scratching my head, he lost patient and shot the kids pulak. I’ve previously posted all the silhouette shots. Check them out. They are awesome!

Ok. No more pictures already. I shall cut my long winded story short. If you are looking for a place to just relax, this is the right place. We will be back to Pan Pac Pangkor more often cos we have fallen in love with the resort.

Pictures taken at 7pm.

At the beginning I thought it is not a good idea to have the coconut in the picture, but the more I look at it now, the more I like it.

This is not taken at Pan Pacific. This is in Pasir Bogak beach. The one in town. It would make a even better silhouette with a couple smooching on the beach.

That’s me in one of the yoga pose called Dancer pose.

This is my favourite shot of all. I was so thrilled to see the Hornbills and the longer I stay, more Hornbills flew down for their dinner.

I shall post more pictures on the outing in my coming post. aitelyu, the hotel is truly out of this world. We love going back there again one day.

“Wake up ade. Want to sit fast-fast boat or not.”

Daughter jumped out from bed. As usual my 5 y/o son still slumbering in his dreamland. Last night was not that good as Baby was not feeling very well so we let her slept thru leaving her under my mom’s care.

The day is finally here as I have promised kids and bribing them with so-called fast-fast boat thingy.

What is fast-fast boat? Island hopping la. The boat cruised at a very high speed and sometimes maneuver left and right creating some chaotic moment. Girls being girls with all their squeaking scream. Gah! (Can you spot my pic with our so-called leng chai tour guide? Cute boh?)

The island hopping is inclusive of snorkelling but since some of us aunty is visiting wants to remained dry, we forgo it. We will always have another trip since Pangkor Island is so near only. Right?!

One of the tour guide showing off his diving skills sea rambutan (scary!) and sea cucumber (geli!).

During one of the hopping, we was shown the ‘Free Trade Zone’ in making. Looks like it’s a long way to completion.

Fast-fast boating sports. This is called Banana Boat. They sure looks fun yet boring sitting on the inflatable Banana Boat.

Wait till they capsized your Banana!

The adults is having fun and so do the kids cos they are allowed to sit in the speeding boat.

“Want to try some more or not. This one is called Hamburger.”

Go figure out the hamburger

No more fast-fast boat and kids is back to their mischevous self

Unrelated to fast-fast boat:

This is new to me. Hornbills flying freely near the beach. Very unusual sight as I thought Hornbills only live in the forest?

Living to my title -

A Queen needs to do what a Queen ought to do. Next time, I’ll get them to bow down to me. Wakaakaakaaaa….

Read Day 1 in Pangkor Island here

After meeting up with Chiwiland, we went to Pangkor Island. That is where my Mom’s hometown is and where my maternal Grandma is residing after she got married to my late Grandpa. Fyi, Grandma is a Penang lang.

Tip: If you plan to go Pangkor Island, remember this. At the Lumut jetty, ferry operator is selling the tickets at Rm10 for tourists and RM6 for Pangkorists.

Not many people know about it. More like a hush-hush thingy among authorities, but my Mom warned us beforehand that we should pay for the tickets at RM6. I mean, we are still a locals and these people hike up the price to earn from tourist. So, what happened was…. my Mom went and bought the ticket.

“Sepuluh ringgit.”

“APA SEPULUH RINGGIT. ENAM RINGGIT!”

Of course, the ticket seller was caught by surprise and was dumbfolded.

We made a stop at my Grandma’s house. As usual, my aunt had prepared a big pot of asam laksa. That was our favourite! Maklumlah, ikan kembung (mackeral fish) originate from Pangkor. And… and… do I have to add? Aunt uses the traditional way to cook the stock, i.e. by using charcoal and clay pot! Syok 99!

During our younger days, we used to stay over night at my Grandma’s house. Nowadays, you know… our family members have multiplied by 4. There is no way to accomodate so many of us plusssssssssssss I CAN’T SLEEP WITHOUT AIRCON!

Off we went and checked in at the hotel near the beach. Woohoo! Suaku city people like me love bitches beaches.

I have sea phobia; sudden drop + big wave + swept by wave + drowning. It all happened again when we recklessly assumed one of us is watching the kids. I’m sorry baby. But when unexpected things happen, please don’t blame the other to make yourself look innocent. Ok? But, didn’t I tell you to play at the beach and not in the water???!!! Huh! Huh!

We had fun digging a hole and burying Baby Princess in it. At the beginning, she was smiling and laughing with us. After sometime of wiggling, she found out that she can’t move any of her body part. She was wailing for help. All we could do is continue laughing and mummy is so bad to camwhore with her. lol

Beach isn’t complete without going for a stroll for seashells. And I stumble upon this right before my big toe.

I have seen and picked star fish but not this type of seashell with an engraved star on it. Overall, we found 4 of this. Isn’t God creation marvellous?

I waited whole afternoon……

… where art thou?

By the time I finish writing this post, it turn out more than “Pangkor Island Trip cum Grandma’s Birthday”. lol

So, Grandma is turning 93y/o this year. Still going healthy and strong.

Typical chinese with typical red eggs.

Dinner so-so only. Nothing much to show off but I’m sure this is attractive!

Mantis prawn in steam egg. The taste? Really nothing to shout about. This is not my usual food angle. They look a bit crappy to me. What to do? I’m sharing a table with my other cousins and they can’t wait to dig into this dish.

The whole night I have been bribing my kids with this,

“Who did not finish the rice, tomorrow cannot sit fast-fast boat.”

“Who is naughty, tomorrow cannot sit fast-fast boat.”

“Time to sleep. Don’t talk. If not tomorrow cannot sit fast-fast boat.”

So, be good ya? Tomorrow I bring you go sit fast-fast boat
