08-03-08 ... a night in PD

since it was my 1st time voting, i was feeling excited about it, i woke up rather early, walked to the voting place, which is merely 5 mins walking distance to the school, and by 830am, i was done. i'm so proud of myself. :D

before leaving for PD, we dropped by at shadiah's house to pick up the bbq pit & the food. shadiah and her family joined us around 8pm. the place we stayed, kemang indah condo at teluk kemang, was rather okay. it has full kitchen amenities, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living and dining hall, fully air-cond except for 1 bedroom not fuctioning and we were given a fan instead. overall, i would say the maintenance is really poor but what the heck.. it was only for 1 night and most of the time we were out either at the pool or the beach.

the condo is not a front beach so we had to drive to the nearest teluk kemang beach, famous with water activities like jet-ski, bana-boat, canoe and water-ski too. it was sunny.. clear blue sky.. the kids and their dad can't wait any longer, splashing in the warm waters while i enjoyed the view.

after the beach, we went back to the condo and kids went for another round of splashing at the pool. around 730pm, hubby and i set up the bbq pit and the food while waiting for shadiah and her family to arrive. it was a great fun night for me celebrating my birthday, having a delicious bbq dinner, by the pool side with my loved ones, together with my good friend shadiah and her family. the kids enjoyed themselves at the playground, the dads busy grilling the chicken, beef, lamb and sausages while the mums busy preparing the table for food to come. all the meats were marinated by sha or is it ajees??? well, like sha said.. "if it taste good, it must be me.. but if it's not, ajees is the one.." overall, it was superb!!! ... oh there was also another indian group having a bbq birthday party, on that election night, which interestingly we had some conversations about the election with them... especially on SV issues...

the kids woke up very early on the next day to swim at the pool. i went for a quick dip too after being lovingly force by hubby. we checked out at 12pm, went again to the beach, bought kites for the kids but sadly the kites went round and round, up and down although the wind was blowing. blame it on the kite... after lunch, we went to ostrich farm before heading home.

i had a great time.. enjoyed every minute of it.
