Our family vacation at the Pangkor Island resort last Xmas weekend was lots of fun for everyone. I got some time away from the kitchen and running errands to just sit back in the sun with a book. I haven't read all of it yet..but so far; "The Hungry Years" by William Leith is hilarious!
The trip by ferry from "Lumut' to the island resort was ...erm...difficult~ Haha..it was a public holiday and families were out full-force with kids...backpacks.. etc to have a weekend trip at tiny Islands close-by.
The queue and the ferry ride there was made more convenient and less stuffy with priority seating for guests at the Resort. *thank goodness*~ We could have been standing there for hours if not.When we finally got there...welcome drinks were served and jolly christmas carols were sung.
everything was smooth sailing...plenty of activities for everyone!A good stretch of soft fine sand, beautiful views and many shady spots with lush greenery to just lie back. Everyone got to have a nice relaxing weekend~we had some precious family "bonding" time and celebrated Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary on Xmas eve together.
At dinner...the resort was beautifully lit and the buffet spread looked pretty impressive. I was more interested in taking photographs of the displays more than eating my dinner! Haha.
A dessert stall making South Indian Appom was absolutely sensational!!~~ definitely worth a special mention. :P The lady had our family going back for seconds...thirds and forths! My aunts and I worked our family charm....and came home with the recipe~ *giggle* I'm trying it out this afternoon...Hope to have a write up about it by tomorrow; so keep your eyes peeled *wink*

anonymous: Yea its real funny; almost finished it. I could actually relate to the book alot in terms of the main character's love for food and carbs! haha. He seems to think food is evil...but I personally cherish everything edible. It's just fun to read. I've been on many diets..been chubby all my life. I don't try to fight the urge to eat. I believe in exercising to keep healthy. Eating less doesnt necessarily make our bodies healthier/feel better.
mich:WOoHOO~ haha...party's over...back to work :'( hehe
soulful: HAppy new year to u too! :) All the best for 2007!
