Travel with 3

It has been a hectic week and weekend! 

It started when Hub's granny died, and we went back to KT last week.

and that became our first long distance journey together all 5 of us. 

adhoc journey lagi tu.

We departed at about 2am, as soon as we got the news. 

Amal was kind of surprised to see yellow lights in the middle of the night. 

(the street lamps), so it took her some time to get settled and finally sleep.

I could not sleep soundly cos, well, I can hardly sleep whenever I am on long distance journey, especially by car. I needed to make sure Hub was not sleepy. Alhamdulilah, we arrived safely and managed to catch her funeral. I didnt know her well enough as she is really really old, but she is one of the nicest people i have ever known. such a gentle person. 

i know for sure Hub loves her so much and that she has big impact on his life..

I pray that her soul be blessed and Allah protects her from seksaan kubur.

Our trip to Terengganu was really short as Hub needed to work. We stayed there for a night and went back on Thursday. Me myself i had a lot to prepare. 

Lil' Tummy was opening a booth on the week after and we were planning on a Kuantan trip the days before. We followed Hub along for his working trip there. basically, I am all planned out. 

wait.

Lil' Tummy???

That's another story I yet to tell.

hehehehhe

Our trip to Kuantan was really tiring for me.

I had to take care all 3 girls at a time, from morning till evening. Amna was not feeling well and cranky all the time. crying, and wanting my attention all the time. 

#toomanyallthetime

but we did manage to pay a visit to one of my Bff's house there. finally!

We got lost on the way there cos the google map took us where it thinks I want to go. like i care about the ladang kelapa sawit!! i wanted to get in a panic mode, but considering i have 3 children in a car with me under my care, i stayed calm and pretended mommy knows the way. 

and surprisingly the girls were okay. Amal slept soundly in her carseat, and the rest were just well behaved. alhamdulillah. but of course i had to bribe them with my phone and 

they were entertained by the apps. ;)

it was really nice to be able to catch with my long long time friend. she has been busy so we always update each other via whatssap. but to pay a visit is just out of the context. too far, too little time, considering she's a busy doctor in ER.

and when we get the chance to meet and talk, that's what we do. talkkkkk.

even Amna was 'attentive' to our conversation!

The second day was all day in the room. bathing in the tub, watching tv, crying, and sleeping. 

and we got a surprise in the evening when Tok and Ki came to bring us to the beach. 

things grandparents do for their cucus eh?

they came all the way from KT. just to have picnic by the beach in Teluk Cempedak and to have dinner of Ana Ikan Bakar.

 I wish i can be that when Hub and I are older..u know, travelling as we wish. when we wish.

#aimingforearlyretirement

and i could say the highlight of the trip was.. Ana Ikan Bakar!

Oh my god. #droooooling

first of all, dah berkurun tak makan ikan bakar. I cant even remember when was last time I had it. 

secondly, sedap gilerrrrr. my friends suggested it and man, I am salivating just thinking of it.

hahahahaha.

but seriously, the ikan bakar petai is the one to go for. 

we had it for 2 nights in a row. 

trip with all us 5 was..crazy. hahaha

my butt hurt from not moving. i had to sit still with Amal on top of the pillow which was on top of me. Amal was crying cos she didnt feel good and she wanted me all to herself. unfortunately i cannot let go of Amal. thankfully Ayra is big enough to do her own things and be with Ayah, her fav person. 

the 3 hours journey felt sooo long. 

Amna had stomach ache but she didnt want to eat anything. it was so hard to make her eat. 

and she wanted to be carried almost all the time. she is not light. so I am not the one to carry her.

then there's the tantrum for not getting what she wants, there and then.

she was screaming all the way while we were having lunch in Megamall. too add salt to the wound, the meal was horrible. just plain horrible. that made the whole lunch and going back experience just..bad. i felt like a lady going cuckoo. 

thank god i did not go tru this alone. 

i dont think im ready for another long journey longer than 1 hour with 3 of them. 

i am tired beyond words. my brain is tired, my body is aching.

we just go to malls and zoo jela yer babies??

or better yet, just stay at home.
