anniversary weekend getaway

last friday, we had an anniversary weekend getaway to de Legend Water Chalet in Port Dickson. it was a short relaxin holiday for both of us... we drove there via de "old roads", it felt like a real road-trip!! along de way, we saw lots of dragon fruit trees but no fruits in sight, perhaps we could get some in PD.

we reached de resort at about 3pm and checked in. de room was very nice... there's a huge bath tub, a shower with a sky roof and a balcony for u to chill out n do some fishin or crabbin (seriously... it says so on de buletin board at de lobby!! "rent a cage for crabbing")

de chalet had a glass panel on de floor so we could see de sea... not much action goin on below our chalet tho... no sea monster swimmin by, no mermaid tappin on de glass, nuthin. however, u could stand over de glass panel like i did n pretend dat u're floatin over de sea...


de nice thing about this trip for us is dat it was totally just for us to relax, so we did not rush out of de chalet once we got there... we did not need to go to de beach just yet, we did not need to do any sight-seein, we did not need to try any good food... so we just decided to do a movie marathon instead!! we're pretty far behind on our tv series watchin, so we decided to catch up on "Medium".

later dat nite, we headed to de hotel coffee house for dinner. we had pizza... while watchin de movie that was playin in de theatre corner... after dinner, it was back to more "Medium"...

de next mornin we woke up n got ready for de beach. we drove around lookin for de perfect beach to go to. james' supervisor is from PD and he suggested we try de Bayu Bay Resort's beach. we got a little lost tryin to find de beach but in de end we finally found it, however it was close to noon so after a little walk on de beach, we decided to head into town in search of dragon fruits... those buggers are really hard to find, so i came to a conclusion dat it was not in season yet so we'll just leave it at dat.

while in PD town we had lunch and shopped at de RM2 shop there. bought some canned drinks for later at nite 2 for RM2, mentos also 2 for RM2 and a pack of kuaci for "Medium" marathon! after dat james decided we should head back to de resort to rest, coz goin to de beach at this hour i'll probably be fried extra crispy!

we headed back out for de beach around 4pm, perfect time... no more scorchin sun!! on de drive der, de sky turned dark n looked like it was gonna rain... but we still went ahead anyways, no rain is gonna stop me from buildin my sand castle!! i brought my equipment all de way here ok!!



luckily it didn't rain, i got to build my castle n visited a few crabs... all in all, a good day at de beach! on de way back to de resort, we saw a little bazaar n decided to stop there for a lil' look-see! ada pasar malam la... so we bought some ayam percik, longans, kebabs n fried mushrooms... dinner covered!!

dat nite after we finally finished our whole season of "Medium", james continued wif his NBA games n i got busy wif my Wii... i think i have at least 10 pending Wii games... so many games, so little time... james dozzed of in de middle of his game n in de midst of cookin on my Wii, i heard fireworks goin off outside... so i woke him up n ran out to de balcony! fireworks!! weeeeeeeeeee......... fireworks for our anniversary!!!


de plan was to swim at de hotel pool next mornin, but wen we got up around 9am we decided to just screw it, sleepin in is so much betta..... we checked out at noon. we're so goin back there again next time, plus there's a phase 2 work in progress at de resort n i spied a private pool to each room!!! definitely a must try!! dun get ur hopes up too much for this place tho', i had a nice experience coz i wanted a relaxin getaway, another friend who went said it was too borin, de hotel pool is too small, de food sucks n de whole shebang did not go down well wif him... so, it might not be everybody's cup of tea.

on de drive back, we stopped by at cyberjaya to pick up sumthin from a friend n i decided we should go to Mines! wat betta way to end our anniversary weekend den to visit de place wer we used to go pak-toh-ing... lots of facelift done to de mall, it looks so much nicer now!!
