I've been so sick and while I'm struggling to fully recover, I've also been so sick of everything around the house. I've come to the point of getting so sick of the smell of my shower gel.
I've been proposing for a vacation or trip especially to the beach....... I am fully aware that I live by the beach. I just needed a new view. Some fresh air. Away from human beings. I swear, I thought us moving here meant that we were gonna finally get some peace and quiet. There is an event happening EVERY WEEKEND. I'm not exaggerating. We'd avoid the drawbridge area on Saturdays just like how we avoid shopping malls.
We've also been looking for new places to call our common spots just so that we can relax. Apart from discovering a new favourite island, we've also discovered a town about an hour away from where we live that has this nice quiet place. The kids enjoy both the pool and beach area and although the sands are not as silky smooth as island beach sands, it's totally fine. We just need to watch out for jellyfish and stuff.
There's a roadside shop that sells mee Siam which has quickly become a favorite of ours. I've never been a soup or broth person but this place made us drive back for it. That says a lot.
We finally made a stop at the Cat Park on our way back. The kids were ecstatic. The cats there were so clean and fat. They're super friendly too. We have two kittens living with us right now but Shu and I are not fully convinced that they can be trusted to be in the house for now so the kids are only allowed to play with them outside. Yusuf had been wanting a pet cat for the longest time. Shu and I are always the ones who end up having to clean up after them 😑
Our overnight trip was short and unplanned but that's the fun part. We used to do this all the time. Just pack up a backpack and drive off somewhere...... Anywhere....... It's a hell lot better than being stuck in traffic just to get somewhere like we used to do while living in KL.
