Bukit Gambang

Hi...this is me at the main entrance of our new home in Bukit Gambang, Kuantan. Mom took this photo in the middle of the afternoon, she said to get a clearer view but it was sooo hot! I love the toucan, it's cute. We are staying in one of the apartments which is just a walking distance to afafa's office. This place is huge, there are swimming pools (mom said wading pool), mini carnival (with carousel), video games, gym (someone wants to go there one day), karaoke rooms and others. The water park is also nearby but I haven't got the chance to go yet as my afafa is busy. Afafa is a lot busier than he was at the island because there are a lot of people coming to this place!
Well...I still have a lot to explore. Mom has promised to take me to the Jungle Farm (just infront of the resort complex), maybe one day I shall try horse carriage ride or even horse ride!

Again....

We moved again!!! This time to a big resort complex. Afafa said he's given new assignmant and will be based in this new place. Pity mom as she has to pack again when she's just about to unpack everything. I believe she doesn't complain as we get to stay in a 2-bedrooms apartment, more space for us and I have my own room! 

Tonight I shall go exploring and I will write more next time (with pictures).

Journey

We have checked in at afafa's new work place yesterday.  It  was quite a journey as the weather is very hot, we made a stop at Mesra Mall and met Uncle Azam for lunch. I also have a new petshop (kangaroo) courtesy of mom. We arrived at the Hotel late evening  and was immediately shown to our room. The Hotel was okay...well..we are still adjusting to the new environment. I like the swimming pool...it has a big bucket that splashes out water and there's a rainbow tunnel with water spray through it. Mom says I can try the pool one of these days.

Farewell

Today is our last day in the island as afafa has left the company for greener (drier) pasture. I shall miss the baby turtles,the sharks,the sergeant fishes,the hermit crabs,the monitor lizards, the fruit bats who are parts and parcels of the island. I will also miss sitting on the swing after dinner as well as making pretend salad while waiting for my parents to finish their coffee. It will be long before I can hear again the pounding of waves underneath our room or taking a walk in an empty beach searching for tiny shells. We've been in the island for the past two years and I am sure I will feel quite weird having used to the life there. I will miss our room Druzy and not forgetting the spagetti cheese! Mom told me, may be one fine day we could come back to the island for a holiday...

To all at Gem Island, thank you for the memory

Man & Sea

This is my father gazing at the sea...probably wishing he was somewhere else.

Bloodline

This is the photo of my great grandmother (atuk's mom) and her siblings, circa early 60s. Only atuk is able to recognise who's who in this picture. Mom only able to recognise her grandmother and another 3 grandmas. Mom says she will keep this photo for me to keep when I grow up.
