The Rejuvenating Holiday

So how was Cincau's triple emphasizing holiday?

Kee, kee, kee..... let me tell you how I came up with the idea of holidaying at RRR.  It was sort of unintentional.

Not so long ago, during a school holiday, brother Cheeky was at home for the entire week.  From this, mommy Cincau could see how much time was wasted and the boring-ness during that period.  What more if he spends all those time at the aunt.  And so mommy said, whenever possible, she would enrich her children's holidays.  It wasn't easy for mommy with the limitations she faces everyday.  White collared middle class...... !!

Facing limitations, I was prepared to let go of this school break and just concentrating with work.  But deep down was the feeling of let down and upset.  Daily work included looking at value hotel deals..... and so the RRR came across.  It has everything that suits my family.  It just feels like a need to give them a call and hence, at a flash of an instinct, reservation was made. 

So the cincau family went for a getaway.  How was it?  Here's the pics:

Kiddy pool with slide..... fun

Birdies by the pool..... so close, no zooming

Some luxury before retiring for the night

No regrets.  It was marvelous.  Fun for everyone.  The outing served as the best de-stress destination by far.  There is no hurrying, no traffic, no pollution, no grumpy looks.  Just smiles, laughter, happiness, peace.... and welcoming too.  Yes, pricey, all within and above the 5 star range.  Nevertheless, it was worth it.  The luxury starts as soon as you step into the resort.  Cincau love it!!

Oh btw, I didn't get the refurbish room.  Maybe that's why the price was alright-ey for me.  But, all I can say is, with clean big room and big welcoming comfy bed, it is still very luxurious. I have stayed in worse hotel rooms compared to this.  It doesn't even feel the need to be refurbish.  But to maintain their stars, good for them to be attentive.

So, will they jack-up the price after all the refurbishment?

This is the season of drought

It's the dry dry dry spell.......... I mean the "No holidays around the corner period".

With the last being our beloved HRH's birthday celebration on last Saturday, that day also marks the beginning of the no ending to work work work period.  Not that I am not willing to accept this fact, afterall, I have been enduring these periods of holiday drought for many many many years now.

The next period with lots of holidays will be end of the year and this time, the entire world will or may think like me.... hee hee hee.   

Yet, I should be grateful that I'm a citizen of this blessed land called Malaysia.  Already this land, a melting pot of cultural mix, has allocated many many many statutory holidays celebrating all the unique background of its citizens.  What more can I ask for?  

And so with the commencing of the drought period, what should Cincau do?  My brain motor is still half committed, but am glad the needed ones are duly looked into.  Nevertheless, there is one major matter that Cincau should not avoid, and that is to enrich my kids school holidays.  Yes, its another round of school holidays for brother Cheeky and little Manja.  Earlier, I've mentioned of myself being a bad bad bad mommy for not planning their last school break.  But should I be skipping this too?........ NOPE!!

So, guess what?  After those statutory holidays, Cincau extends my breakie by taking annual leave and..... it starts from today.  To sidetrack abit, why do I need to apply for my freedom?  Ponder, ponder, ponder.

I'm going to bring them to a far far far away land..... nothing to do with where Princess Fiona of Shrek comes from..... where there is a conservation effort for animals, there's a kiddy pool for Cheeky's budding water sport interest, there's a mini canopy walk for sight seeing, there is the batik painting lesson, etc. etc. etc.

Here's a sneak peek of the place :

Sourced : Shangri-la Rasa Ria Resort

Is this heaven?  Heaven on land?  Cincau will find out soon.  There is only one minus point to this place.  It's undergoing renovation and not all rooms are refurbish yet.  Either I'm lucky or unlucky.  It's russian roulette time!!

*** Somehow, I'm in the mood to not double, but triple emphasizing myself today.  Did you notice that?.... hee hee hee.  Oops, I did it again!! (in Britney Spear's piggy tailed look).

*** Btw, I just noticed, I'm bringing my entire cincau brood to RRR.  Ha ha ha!!! Okay, that's too much.  I better stop here. Signing off......
