I missed the Penang holiday and I was miserable! With a long weekend around the corner, we just had to go somewhere... anywhere!
With only the weekend to spare, we decided on Malacca, which is about 2 hrs drive away. The plan was to leave on Thursday afternoon right after the kids' school to avoid the jam at the custom. We expected that the kids to be beat bcos Maths class had to be pushed forward to Wednesday night and class ended at 9pm, which was already beyond their bedtime.
On Wednesday night, Zaky was asking if he could leave school earlier. He said that sometimes his friends do so. I bet he had it all planned out - on Thursday morning during recess, he called me from school and insisted that he had a bad tummy. Daddy Lim was activated to pick him up and he did leave school earlier eventually. He went to the toilet back home and was otherwise in perfect health. Zzzzzz. Liar, liar, pants on fire.
We headed back to pick Lil Shauna after school, changed, had a quick lunch and were on our way. Woohoo!
The custom was a breeze. We made it though in less than 30 mins and finally on our way! I even got to drive in the Malaysia. Ok, for 5 mins bcos soon we met with a jam and it was too stressful. Still, ticked off the bucket list.
The traffic jam was like forever. We were stuck for at least an hour. Then, there was a mega storm. It was so bad, like some end of the world movie. The visibility was so bad. At the peak of the storm, we had to wait for the wiper to swipe before we can see the tail light of the car in front of us. Even Daddy Lim was stressed and asked me if we were out of the rain clouds. He said that it was one of the most stressful drives ever.
While it poured, the kids were knocked out in the back seats and they didn't wake up until we arrived in Malacca. It is so rare to see Lil Shauna naps.
It was the peak hours when we arrived in Malacca and the traffic was super heavy. I had to use the last bit of my patience to stop myself for yelling.
Finally, after almost 4.5hrs on the road, we arrived at the Huskitory. The kids had always love pet cafe and this one is specifically with huskies!
There are specific time slots to play with the dogs. We arrived at 6.30pm, right in the midst of the outdoor play session with the huskies.
There is one other non-husky that I like. She is a lot more affectionate than the huskies. Meet 小白.
The dogs go for a rest from 7pm to 8pm. It was picture time before they left.
For RM18 per pax, we had a drink each. There is no restriction to the visiting time. We had some snacks while we waited for the huskies to join us indoor at 8pm.
We bought dog food to feed them.
Daddy Lim tried very unsuccessfully to get a selfie with the dogs. This was the best he could manage.
I didn't expect us to stay very long in the cafe. After playing indoor with the dogs for 1 hr, the kids wanted to stay for the 2nd outdoor play session at 9pm. This is Oreo; she is super tame, preferring to lie down quietly most of the time. Zaky refused to believe that she is Oreo bcos Oreo is supposed to be black and white.
We left the cafe only at 9ish. Our hotel - Ramanda Plaza Hotel was about 10 mins drive away. We finally checked in at about 10pm and went for a late dinner/ supper.
The kids were super energetic after their afternoon nap and were watching the TV until 12 mn before they finally turned in. What a busy way to start the 1st day.
