hot sun + hot air = relaxing holiday?

when it is hot... it is super freaking hot!

at first it was like an unwanted chore... it took away the weekend... a waste of precious weekend time...

then a thought brought smiles to faces... we did NOT have to work whilst everyone else had to!
then it turned into excitement... but not for long... excited faces then became grimaces... frustration... irritation...
and then they arrived... and excitement returned as people silently waved goodbye to the life-sucking trap called the work building.
all went silent as people drifted to dreamland... snoozing at a time of day when people are working!

and then it was lunch...

and then it was "are we there yet?"

what was supposed to be a long four hour bus ride turned into a torture ride of five and a half hours...
imagine arriving at the state of your destination and then suddenly the driver turns around and asks... "nak gi mana ni?"
(translation: where are you going?)

HORRORS!!!

and finally arrival!!!

it was beautiful!

and a welcome relief to our almost non-existent miserable excuse of a life...






a view of the pool from my room...





...and again at night... (my camera's focusing is starting to go haywire... i need a new camera!!!)





a nearer view of beautiful pool on a hot sunny afternoon...





there's a 'hidden' paradise near the pool... *grins*





bbq buffet (not so nice... food were rather burnt and the meat, overdone)... at night at the garden terrace near the poolside...





sugar and spice and all things nice... that's what little girls are made of...





the 'hidden' paradise i was talking about earlier...





i like this shot... it even have people playing volleyball in it!





sunset on the beach with the hermits...





our little family grown smaller... MELLY where?!! :(

SWISS GARDEN RESORT KUANTAN


the buffet breakfast wasn't too great. it takes a good 15 minutes to get an order of 2 scrambled eggs, 1 omelette and 1 sunny side up. the lady at the egg station looked as if she blames us for her being there...

the buffet lunches were not too bad...
the buffet dinners was not bad at all... dessert was yummy... oh, and no two meals were the same... (that excludes the breakfast). just don't try the bbq dinner buffet... like i said above, meat is overdone and that includes fish/prawns/crab... and burnt. only nice thing about the bbq dinner buffet... the sausages... albeit a bit salty...

but for the stressed and weary... try their slightly expensive but really relaxing and soothing...

the 'hidden' paradise i keep talking about above... *grins*
