껌딱지

 We were supposed to drive away to get Shu late lunch coz he skipped lunch today coz he ate noodles for breakfast........ Well, we drove and drove and drove........ And we ended up in Rantau Abang. The Turtle Conservation and Information Center to be specific. Yes, the Save The Turtles event is taking place. Shu said, let's stop by and check it out so we did......

This familiar dude from the science center 😁

These guys are divers and we had a chat about the sea creatures they displayed at their booth. Yeah, we have met these creatures washed up ashore. Ali Imran was so thrilled when he discovered that they are scuba divers coz that's his new goal this year 😎

This booth displayed coral regrowth efforts which I believe is by The Tamara's Hotel but the girl I was talking to said that anyone can opt to adopt a coral so I did. Funny how we agreed on how much the corals managed to grow healthily and safely during the lockdown due to lack of human activities. Honestly, I saw the photos of the corals that grew within 5 years and it's pretty good but not enough to cover the whole amount of damaged and dead corals that gets washed ashore when tourists and boats show up. It's quite sad, to be honest ☹️

I've been craving this for a while now and today, we finally got here 😊

껌딱지 ❤️

Happy 13th Year Together ❤️

 It's been a while and we had been sticking to routines a little too much coz Yusuf is 10 which means he has a lot more school activities to do. That also means that we as parents have to take school a little more seriously than how we've been doing all this while. Also, we try to avoid crowd as much as we can which is almost impossible considering the endless amount of holidays this country has in a year.

Anywho, Shu decided to do what we usually do which is last minute change in plans and we ended up on the island where we'd usually celebrate our anniversary at.

There were some things that we had to consider coz our kids are bigger now. We can't really fit into a one bedroom hotel room anymore. We also needed to make sure Ali Imran and Safiyya were able to get used to snorkeling before heading to the marine park straight away. Good thing they got the hang of it in no time at all.

Going along the lines of avoiding crowd and people, we've discovered that taking a boat from a jetty a bit further up from our house cuts the travel time by like an hour. And the kids enjoy speed boat rides too these days which is a plus point.

We had a blast eventhough it was a shorter trip than usual. We explored almost every place there was along the beach we could for food and hangout. The kids had fun 😊

Happy 13 years to us being together, baby!
