We had a short trip with Papa's buddies - Jason & Cain's family last weekend to Hard Rock Hotel @ Penang.
Papa forced me to blog it. Hahaha...no la...I wanted to blog on this event with some illustration i.e. Photos and video. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to do it at home and I can't do it in the office as it will take up quite a lot of time. PLUS, I do not wish to stay back late in the office to transfer files from the Video Cam to my Mac. Anyway, since I have a little time now, I have decided to summarize event now and follow by illustration in my next blog.

Venue : Hard Rock Hotel @ Penang
Participants : Jason, Audrey, Baby Tung Tung - 1 Room

9.00 am : Depart from home individually (In 3 cars)
11.00 am : Stopover at Tapah Interchange, Jason & Cain's family had Baskin Robin Ice-creams, Papa went to have his big business done. Kakakaka...
12.30am : Arrived Batu Ferringi and had very very lousy CHAR KUAY TEOW & ASSAM LAKSA for lunch at some Food Court.
1.30pm : Check in. Seaview Room. Nice View. Basic Room. I love the fact that they are so considerate that they actually put in a Baby Cot for us too. (***Even though I didn't manage to lure Chloe to sleep there by herself*** ) Three of us Squashed in ONE BED. *sigh*
3.00pm : Pool Section. The Pool is very nice. There is a Children Section where there are three different slides (** which Cain & Papa enjoyed more than any babies in our trip) plus some fountains which Baby Chloe enjoyed very much.
7.00pm : Audrey cook some macaroni in Ikan Billis Soup for Tung Tung & Chloe. It was Chloe's first experience in such a tasty dinner. Hahaha..Ikan Billis Soup with Salt, Hot Dog pieces, Minced Pork & Macaroni. Yum Yum.
8.00pm : Dinner at the Northom Food Court. Yum Yum. Had very good Char Kuay Teow & Prawn Noodle but the Assam Laksa was just Okay.
9.300pm : Back to Hotel - Live Band Performing at the lounge, Tung Tung & Chloe enjoyed so much that they started dancing too. Clive & Karl are early sleepers, so they went back to their room early while the two "cats" were still moving around until 10 something.
11.00pm : Bed
** Perhaps Chloe was not used to moving out of home, she cried at about 1am. I tried giving her things that usually made me happy but it doesn't work at all. She kept on crying and crying for almost an hour. At the end of the hour, she finally soften down and started accepting the cartoon that we showed her. She finally volunteered to lie down beside me and get back to sleep. Phew.... Lucky!

8.30am : Baby Chloe, Mama & Papa woke up, and Baby Chloe had her milk
9.00am : Buffet Breakfast. Chloe had some Plain Porridge, Orange Juice & a bun. Mama had a little of everything. It was not good but not as bad as Jason had told us.
10.30am : Walked to the beach. Cain rented a buggy. Cain, Baby Clive & Papa ride on the Buggy. Chloe is too young so I didn't allow her to join them. Hahaha...AGAIN..I think these adults enjoyed more than our Kids. Poor Kids! Got to force themselves to like what "BIG BABIES" like. :P But I am sure these "Big and Small" babies both enjoyed the fun on their own ways.
12.30am : Back to room. Mama & Baby Chloe had an afternoon nap while excited Papa was packing because we were about to move to a LAGOON ROOM @ 2pm.
2.00pm : Moved to LAGOON ROOM. The Room is as basic as the Seaview Room but we got the direct access to the pool which means once we opened up our sliding door, there u see the pool and you can jump into the pool anytime you want. Nice!
3.30pm : Jason bought extra food back, and he gave us a pack of Fried Rice. Hahaha..It was also Chloe's first experience of tasting FRIED RICE. Lucky Chloe! I think she enjoyed the food MOST. Chloe told me "NICE" "I LIKE" hahaha....

We had TWO LARGE Pizza, TWO REGULAR PIZZA, One Homemade Bread Strips, One French Fries. I didn't had an illustration for the huge amount of food we had but I will try to get it from Cain. It was so scary. The pizza was good though.
