Boxing Day Holiday

BOXING DAY We stayed over at Riveira Bay Resort, Malacca on Boxing Day. We went with a couple of friends in the event of celebrating Elaine's birthday as well as Christmas. Took the kids for some kiddy rides, some beach fun and a dip in the pool. As usual, Boy dislike the touch of sand on his teeny weeny feet. From his previous encounter with the beach, we thought its again time to introduce to him the fun of building sandcastles but he's still not ready. He doesn't like it one bit. He just stood there crying and whimpering like there were snakes on the sand. Princess was happily playing with the sand. Tsk! Tsk! And we have forgotten the sandcastle buckets. As soon as we stepped into the pool, Boy was so thrilled .. smiling and splashing the water in the pool. When it was time to go, both of them protested and we had to tell them we'll bring them again tomorrow. Had to resort to white lies .. bad mommy and daddy! We all had Portugese food for dinner at the Portugese Village. Surprisingly, Princess was ok with the spicy fish. Probably she find it tasty. The houses located around the restaurants were decorated so nicely ... it was absolutely beautiful. Its a shame that we'd forgotten to take a picture of one of the houses. The following day, we had chicken rice ball for lunch and did some shopping at Jonker Street. All we bought were 3 fridge magnets (also chosen by Princess - but she broke 2 of it ... aiy!). Before we head for home, we drop by at Malacca Zoo. When we started walking suddenly, there was this huge elephant walking beside me and gosh! it gave a shock and guess who else got a shock as well? Aiy! We took turns carrying Princess around the zoo. You see .. we only brought along a stroller. By the time we reach home, we were already aching all over.
