We had our first family road trip the last public holidays to Malaysia to meet up with some friends, meet Daddy Kat’s family to celebrate Kat’s birthday & to take family portraits with our family photographer. WOW~~~were we busy…..>.< but all in all…it was a great trip:) This will be Kat’s 3rd trip overseas and i would suppose after writing this post, i would be qualified to share my checklist of things to bring on my ipad. According to Daddy Kat, I am the most “Kia Si” (Scared to die) mum, so if you follow my list, you will definitely not forget to bring anything, but have your luggage super heavy>.<
But anyways, here is our trip this time (4 day 3 night):
Day 1+2: The trip begin rather smoothly. We had breakfast at the airport where daddy, mummy got their coffee and lil kat got her favorite bun. Arrived at KL on time and living up to the name of being a “Kia Si” mum, we got car rental instead of relying on cabs and public transport. Best decision of my life! Thou we were lost for awhile looking for the avis counter, to have a car when you bring a kid on a trip is the best thing you can get. Then came the nightmare of a 6 hour drive to damai laut (was supposed to be 2hrs)!!!!!! -.- why did i choose Hari Raya holidays>.<

Well, Kat was still quite happy as she nested in the car…if you see the picture>,< we couldnt get a car seat, coz it was all rented out (another hit on why did i choose to travel during raya). *A responsible parent must always think of your kid’s safety, so DONT TRAVEL WITHOUT A CAR SEAT. So we were driving slowly with caution the whole way to damai laut coz of the circumstance. Lil Kat on the other hand, was very happy about the road trip, she slept, and eat and slept and eat the whole 6 hours without complain!*amazed*(normally, she starts wanting to get out of the car in the first 15mins.
We finally reached after a torturous long drive (poor daddy kat), and met up with the Kat’s parents and cousins to celebrate her birthday! How is the hotel? There is only one and i must say that it is not so fantastic>.< The hotel was quite run down and many of the ammenities were not open. BUT! its the company that matters and Daddy, Mummy + Kat really enjoyed the time we spent with the family 🙂 *ps. Kat remembered Grandma:D (im so glad the skype chats paid off).
we just woke up!
Day 3+4: We bidded goodbye to the gramps and made our way down to KL to meet Aaron’s friends. To our surprise, Kat was ok with every single uncle:)! AWESOME! She enjoyed playing with them and i bet its vice versa…hahahah….. It was great that we got to meet our friends and have a chat after so long….

Another exciting thing that i have to mention about was we had our family portraits taken! We got our wedding photographer (which is simply awesome!) and got him to take a set of photos for us while we were there. While i was writing this post, he uploaded the first of the many photos he took of us:) comment? Just the kind of family portrait we wanted. The expression of our happiness and joy with kat!
