Hard Rock!

took the friday off last week so we could head up north, to wifey's hometown. we started our journey thursday night after office. sarah joined the trip aswell. so my estimation was right, we reached there around 1.30am. and zara's tok umi and wan are wide awake waiting for this little one hehhe and as usual, she'll sleep with her tok umi and wan on the first nite we reach there. itz a silent dominant rule enforced by her tok umi ahhaha but itz ok tho. it relieves us some breath after the long journey :) thanks mama!

usually abah will bring us out for makan2. so the next day, abah brought us to penang for a family overnight trip. here's something... guess where we stayed? hmm?come ounn... guess! guess... ok. letz just save the trouble. i wont know what u guessed anyways hahah ok. so, abah booked rooms at the Hard Rock Hotel. the site was formerly Casuarina Hotel (is that how itz spelled? nvm.old story). was then bought over or something, bla bla bla... so here now stands the new HRH, Penang.

the lobby looked just like any other hotel lobbies. with a twist of artists memorabilia on the walls. throughout the area u can see displays of clothings and instruments worn, used by famous singers and musicians. but if u ask me,  some of the outfits looked horrible! :p but hey, if u r famous, ppl craze for those things... mmm maybe just the fanatics... :D

errr... adek, apekah?? =D

so basically, the weekend was fun. we brought zara swimming for the first time. she loved it! at first she's a lil scared. then after a while, she's laughing and screaming with joy. and her little legs paddling in the water =D too bad tho we didnt take photos of her while at the pool. owh... the pool looks like sooo cool. but fya, the pool's just fit for kids! the slide water's not strong enough. teen-agers and above will get stuck in the slide. literally! =)) itz a fun stopper - the slide. suddenly u feel all embarrassed having to scoot urself down ;p ok. nuff with the embarrassment.

the cool pool??

kiddy fun pool?

we went to Tarbush restaurant for dinner. mama was too tired to follow, so she stayed with zara at the hotel.  the food tastes great. definitely recommended to try. the price is a bit something. but compensating the taste and the huge portion, itz worthwhile a try. we pack briyani ayam for mama. kesian, we only pack half of the real portion. if only we knew she's starving. throughout the day's meal mama keep saying she's not hungry. maybe the sedap-ness made her gain appetite? could be... sorry mama...

after dinner, we (me, wifey, sarah, and adek) wandered around the hotel for some pics.

the next day, b4 leaving the hotel, we bought some tees. sponsored by mama. there's even some cute ones for toddlers. but zara is too small to have her size sold. next time when u r bigger ayah buy for u ok zara?

then comes sunday... time to head back to the busy kl. mama and abah persuaded that we leave zara with them for a week as they're heading to kl on friday. at first we were reluctant. all mainly coz we were concerned. then again, mama did raise all three of her children by her own. and well, she did help a lot while ina is in confinement. abah even offered to pick adek from school and buy food so mama dont have to cook. well, the case has been brought up even since b4 we went to kedah. having thought of their strong wanting desire. we finally agreed. we bought all necessities that zara might require so mama wont have much problem taking care of zara.

huuu... we miss our little angel already. u be good girl k zara. umi and ayah miss u. cant wait till friday.
