Then, we went to the beach for some sand digging.
It was low tide and the water was shallow. You can walk very far into the sea to have the water reaching only your knee. As the waves were much weaker as compared to the ones in Desaru, Lil Shauna had a good time walking in the water, scoping up seawater and sand and picking up shells. The beach wasnt very clean nor the water very clear but acceptable. Then we came to this part of the beach where we found really tiny crabs (lots of them) digging holes in the sand. Lil Shauna was curious yet scare, it was quite a funny moment before she insisted that she wanted to go back to the same beach bcos she "pa pa". The kids got sandy and had fun before we head for more swimming. We basically swam and swam until we all turned prune like. Lol.
We had a quick lunch at the KFC at the Central Market before heading back for a nice nap. Yum yum, I just love relaxing trips, especially when it comes to afternoon naps. Daddy Lim must have influence me. Lol.
After a nice and relaxing rest, we went kite flying. It was a first time for Daddy Lim, me and also Lil Shauna. Ah yee even got us a nice kite from Singapore, but my bro managed to buy 2 kites in Port Dickson at half the price. Hohoho. We had to fix up the kite ourselves and there was no instructions, so Daddy Lim tried to figure out and the kite got fixed up and it looked pretty decent. Somehow I think Daddy Lim was proud of his handyman skills but the kite didn’t made it to the sky. Apparently, the string is to be tied to the wooden structure of the kite and not the kite “body”. With all the tugging and wind impact, our kite starting tearing and couldnt fly. Sad. But Lil Shauna still get to fly a kite a little, one of my bro's kite. Kite flying is actually quite boring. After you get the kite into the sky, you just tilt your head and stared at it. No wonder Lil Shauna lose interest fairly quickly. I was worried that Lil Shauna would let go of the kite. After a short while, all the kids grew bored (me too) and it was more swimming! It is strange how the kids can soak in the pool for hours after hours and not get sick of splashing and waddling around.

We had our 2nd attempt at seafood dinner. This time, we knew what we are looking for – the staff must speak English or Mandarin and no pools of stagnant water. We found a Chinese seafood restaurant this time and had a good and not too expensive dinner. :)
Back at the hotel, Daddy Lim had wanted to chill out after we tucked Lil Shauna in and we were roaming the hotel looking for the lounge and found their mini karaoke box with switched on mics. So Lil Shauna got to sing karaoke for the 1st time but without music. Still, she enjoyed herself just as much.

Then it was back to the hotel room for more jumping around, crazy runabout and kiddish games, but the kids totally enjoyed themselves. It seems so nice to be kids, so carefree. When we finally tucked Lil Shauna to bed, we were too comfortably settled into bed and too lazy to move. Hehe, lazy parents.
Lil Shauna started tossing and turning at 2am and woke us up. She settled back to sleep after her milk and Daddy Lim thought that we should still chill (since we were already awake) and we decided to catch the World Cup finals despite not being football fan at all. I think it must be many years ago that we actually catch a soccer match on TV. We have never watched a match together. We didn’t even know who was playing against who for the Cup but since the hotel has live telecast + the coffee house serves hot food and drinks.
I think we enjoyed the hot food and drinks more than the game. Lol. Afterall, we were not supporting any team in particular. We were sitting quietly in the midst of supporters who were cheering their team on. It was quite a funny sight. By break time, it was still no goal and we both agreed that it was quite boring and we were better off sleeping and we headed back to the room. So much for World Cup. Hoho, but at least we accomplished Daddy Lim’s goal of “chilling”. Lol. We only found out that Spain won the Cup the next morning.
On the last day, we had breakfast at the hotel again and checked out early as per my bro’s suggestion. We decided that we would drive to Malacca for lunch since Malacca is along the way back to Singapore. I think the adults were all quite sick of soaking in the pool. It was a great choice cos we had good food in Malacca, got to buy the local products and split the journey back home by 1/3, making the rest of the way back easier.
We arrived in Malacca just in time for lunch and we were fascinated by the shops and tot that we should have spent more time in Malacca but we had to make sure that we catch the kids' nap time to have a peaceful drive home and couldnt stay long. Thus, we had to leave shortly after lunch. The sun was just as hot in Port Dickson and Lil Shauna finally agreed to wear her new cap for like 2 mins.

We found this famous chicken rice shop and tucked in delicious chicken rice balls. Daddy Lim loves the chicken rice so much that he proclaimed that the chicken rice was worth the trip to Malacca. Hohoho. 
We left shortly after lunch after some shopping and drove the remaining journey back to Singapore. Lil Shauna fell asleep shortly after we board the car and woke up almost nearing Singapore. She was grouchy but manageable and potato chips and “tang” (sweets) always do the trick.
Back in Singapore, we saw that it was still early and went in search for a princess bed. I am still harbouring the idea of Lil Shauna sleeping on her own and hope to entice her to do so by getting her a really nice princesscy bed. Our search was futile and we had dinner at IMM before heading home. Lil Shauna was helping and helped to carry her Badoh bear and toys while we lugged the rest of the luggage.
We had feared that Lil Shauna would torture us badly as she had a late nap and her parents were dead tired. But she was tired too and we finally managed to coax her to bed by 10+pm. Phew.
I was quite sad to be back. I realized that I really love holidays even if they are just across the Causeway. I love the feeling of looking forward to holidays, to be away from work and forget about work, to spend $$ without having to consider too much and most importantly to spend quality time with Daddy Lim and our precious princess. J
But fear not, cos we have decided to drive to Malacca soon. Hehehe. Now, I have something to look forward to again and I think Malacca will really be the last time I travelled before I be confined at home bcos of my big belly. Ah yee will also be joining us this time. I think she is just as desperate for a trip. It was be a really short one night trip and I think we will enjoy just as much. Hehe.
