Ok, ok, I know I am vain.
So, on Friday night at 11.59 pm, we decided that we want to go somewhere. And we packed our clothes, thinking that if got money, anywhere also got place for us to stay. Somemore nowadays, petrol naik harga 30 sen so I suppose everyone should be staying home and wait for Labour Day’s sale to buy dozens of rolls of toilet papers.
But, KNNMCB, manatau, every dang companies are into TeamBuilding, MotivationCraps etc etc and every dang decent resorts are fully booked. The Star, Genting etc etc had their companies function and we had no room at the Swiss Garden Damai Laut.
However, the trip is a short one, less than three hours with lots of nice views so it wasn’t a total loss.
But, but, but we have one little guy who wanted to ‘stay hotel’. That’s all that he had been talking about, stay hotel, yay!!!!!! So, we can’t turn back…….
And after searching for every decent resort from Lumut to Teluk Batik, we cannot find one single, blardy room!!!! Can you believe it? In a sleepy, fishing village like Lumut, there is not a single room available. Ok, actually, Lumut is very beautiful now. I have plenty of nice pics to show later.
In the end, we were too hot to be bothered whether the hotel has nice pool, beautiful lobby, nice garden and just want a room. Any room. And we found one in Hotel Putra. At only RM69.90! A freaking small room with no window. OMG, I cannot breathe! The air-cond wasn’t working well. But they changed another room for us, also windowless. I have claustrophobia, mannnn….. It reminded me of a tiny room we had in Paris, France lah!….Urggh….want to vomit already.
Anyway, it was bearable because toddler didn’t seem to care as long as it is hotel to him. So, we stayed for one night at Lumut. We had no intention of going to Pangkor Island because we had been there lots of time.
Now, got trivia question. My dear atm forgot to pack his underwears. 
Heh, I was too busy packing for the kids and myself so he had to pack his own clothes. So, if you are stranded in a little fishing village with no shopping mall, no fresh underwear change and you got to drive 3 hours back to your home, what would you do? Did I also mentioned that it was hot, humid and very, very sweaty? So, how? What you gonna do?
hehehe.. I spent a few of my childhood years in Pangkor.. My aunt used to run a humble chalet business there and I’ll have to say that the few years had been the best few years of my life.. Miss that place so much!
Hey, seriously I never been to Pangkor before…Maybe I should make arangement to go there once.
Thanks for the tips.^^
hello – labour day lar……Genting fully booked since 2 mths ago ler….
Get a new underwear in Ipoh. hee hee.. Try Pan Pacific hotel next time, it’s located near Pangkor I think. Very nice place.. Hee..
no need to wear also can
Lilian.. let your little hubby run amok for 2 days la. he needs his breathing space too…
Did you watch the TVB series “Ah Wong”? One of the actors said an underwear can be worn 4 times, front, back, inside out front and back.. Kakkakaka
(Please don’t tell me that was what your ATM did!)
Pelf stole my thunder. I learned that backpacking where I try to carry as little as possible.
Love the photographs. Man, whats the lotto up to this Wednesday?
i dont bother going to somewhere close to pangkor on a public holiday..
thousands congregate on the jetty
cars parked on whatever kerb space left
boats cramped with guitar hugging kids while
the boat’s tv blaring karaoke-ish music
the rush for transport operator on the island
shoving to board return boat to mainland (4 army personnel have to stand guard last time i was there)
BTW have u been to Teluk Plastik ? where u can drown yourself in tons of uncollected garbage on public holidays…
Donch wear lor…!! kekkekekeke!!!
lend him your one maybe? but then. hey, you all are on holiday, why do he need underwear anyway? got also no chance to wear lah.
Wah…you all chialat lor….No underwear, in the hot sun with a jeans, you can get:
1) yr skin ripped off due to friction
2) yr hairs plucked off due to friction
3) yr skin stucked to the zip
LOL
Pelf – You really made me LOL till fall off chair. Aiyor…it must smelt like ham yee cheng chee yok! (steamed salted fish with meat)
Anyway, he got his boxers which is his PJs so it wasn’t a big problem cos we are staying for only one day. But I did offer mine, apek. He said very ‘suey’, wear liao, cannot strike lottery.
yea now lumut very be you tee fool.
