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!

Laguna Redang, 10th year visit

Before anything, we already have plans to return this year. We've been coming back here since we first got married (before Yusuf).

This year, Safiyya is old enough to appreciate the pool and beach sand. She and Ali Imran are not the swimming in the ocean getting soaked type. Yusuf is already snorkeling. I am still terrified of fish.

I could have sworn the same fish had been trolling me for years. According to Shu, it's a Parrot Fish. Doesn't matter what it's called, it scares me every damn time I'm in the water.

The island just opened after being closed during the monsoon season. I was desperate to get out in the sun because city life was really pushing me back into depression and I do not miss being depressed.

It rained one time but I never realized how happy I was getting soaked in the rain. I used to run in the rain and being in the rain by the beach was awesome.

The next day, the weather started picking up. That was great 😊
