August 3, 2007 - This is the day we set foot in Malaysia as a family. We arrived around 1:30 am on board Cebu Pacific flight 501. I met Sabri, daddy's friend whose business is to provide transport around Ipoh, Penang, etc, nice guy. We ate at McDonald's in the airport as Sabri begged off for a few minutes sleep. Grabe, 2-3 hours lang pala matulog to. Di kaya medyo unsafe to drive us to Ipoh? We're still headed a long way to Ipoh, hope he doesn't sleep while driving.
I didn't take pictures, my eyes are so heavy I could fall asleep anytime now. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz!
August 3 ~10am - hhaaay! Thank you Lord for a good sleep. Our room (#506) is actually the executive suite of Ritz Garden Hotel. We can stay here for ~1 month, if we opt to, because it's company sponsored for daddy's relocation. Anyway, we stayed here for only 8 days - kakainip kasi. We left Aug 11 Saturday. The room is fine, enjoy naman mga bata as long as there is something to watch.
My dear Maqs, together with his favorite stuffed toy, "Kitty". Buti na lang hindi naiwan sa Pinas.
Papatalo ba si Nicole? Kanya naman si "Turtle".
Our comfy bed at the hotel
Nicole on her afternoon Disney shows
Club Lounge of Ritz Hotel. Nicole and Maqs liked the beef porridge here. So after eating dinner outside, we'd normally take the kids on this rooftop lounge for a bowl of beef porridge or any soup and some snacks. At this point, my kids are still adjusting to the taste of the foods here.
First View/s of Ipoh, taken from our hotel room.
Down the streets, we looked. Nicole says "Mommy, where are we?"
The place is not new to me. It looks like Binondo, Manila. Though, it's less crowded here. I've been to Penang, Malaysia due to my work at Intel before. So, somehow, I know what to expect of the place.
Our hotel room
Nicole spending her time writing and drawing stuffs.. Can't wait to go to school...
Eating hotel food.. Naaahhh!
My kids enjoy bubble baths a lot. Mana sa nanay... hehehe... So, late in the morning, I let them indulge on the tub.
This is the hotel toilet and bath. Mas maganda pa rin hotel sa 'tin.
Spaghetti Bolognese for lunch, not bad. At this time, we eat lunch at the hotel. I just order thru phone and they bring the food to our room. It's hard to bring the 2 kids upstairs on the lounge, baka makabasag si Maqs.
Fried chicken breast with french fries and coleslaw. This one's a favorite.
O, alas siete na. Maliwanag pa.... Pag ganito, I start to wait for Manny to come home.
Maqs' turn on the lounge
