Holiday!!
Heehehehhh.. can’t help having a massive grin on my face when I realised it’s only 10 days to go before we finally get to escape from London and jet off to the sunny Malaysia, and I’m getting 3 weeks off work!! hooarrayyy!!
1st stop - Langkawi. We are staying at Bon Ton Resort for 4 nights to enjoy some spa treatments and get some colour on us before heading down to Kuala Lumpur.
This little resort only have 7 guest houses they are all historical Malay wooden houses, some as old as 100 years which have been transformed into lovely holiday huts. The one we have chosen to stay is Yellow Orchid, which has a open-air bath and sun-deck at the back.
The resort also has one of the finest restaurant in Langkawi, hey, I can’t wait!
Look just how beautiful it is…
Two missions when we get to KL - eat loads of Malay food and do some serious shopping! Er.. and perhaps we can fit in some sightseeing.
Was planning to get a train down to Singapore for couple of days with train journey only 7 hours away, I was really excited about getting the sleeper train as I have never experienced it before, and guess what, the deluxe over-night cabin with private facilities and proper fold-down bed (like the 1st class plane seats) is only £19, and the lowest class - 3rd class seat at only £3 - beat that!! (you will never get that in London, and the trains look decently clean and modern). However, Mike’s dad has invited us to go to Penang instead and do a proper tour around the island… Oh well, I’m sure I will get another chance to go visit Singapore another time.
Feeling bad cos I’m supposed to be detoxing before going away (no alcohol for two weeks) but off course I have failed… out with the gangs on Friday and went for Italian last night, can’t have Italian food without Valpolicella, so a total of 10 units of alcohol this weekend and I’m not proud of it!!
