Vacation Part 1

Having deliberated trips to Hong Kong, Phuket and Bali and the fact that I thought first term school break began on the 21st March instead of 14th March, we finally decided on a short 4 days 3 nights trip to Cherating.

And thank God it was Cherating. When I was drawing up my ambitious plans to go to Disneyland Hong Kong, MrM questioned whether I would be up to the plane trip and walking around in Disneyland. I immediately thought of Afifah, who went to Egypt when she was about 5 or 6 months then, and said sure I am up to it. I won't be queuing for the Space Mountain ride, but surely there are seats around Disneyland or little cafes where I could rest.....

That was Hong Kong. The preparation for the Cherating trip and the trip itself had take its toll on me that I was just ready to snap to anyone who disturbed my nap in the afternoon. I was exhausted. Let alone Hong Kong. I guess MrM knew me better than I know myself.

The kids were happy to be going somewhere. And this vacation would be our third time here at this resort, courtesy of a friend whe facilitated the booking based on our last minute decision to come here. And they knew that each chalet came with a swimming pool and they had a ball in the pool till 7:30pm.

So here I am, typing away while MrM is in the living room watching the ManU vs. Liverpool soccer game. Liverpool leading 3-1 as I type. Not that it made much difference to me since I have never, and I repeat, never been interested in soccer.

This baby kept pretty quiet throughout the car trip here and I could only feel the baby's movements later in the evening. My right hip hurts and this is common in previous pregnancies as well. The hardest part right now is getting up after sitting. Adoi mak sakit....
