Gold Coast Morib Resort..con't

Day 2 --continue

View from our hotel room..the water park. Don't ask why i didn't bother to try out that long winding blue slides at least once :p

Ohh well at least i had the courage to ride the yellow one! hihi. Notice the flat pyramid-shape flat slides on the right hand-side of this pic? i just love the adrenalin rush while getting down off the slides..mula2 macam gerun tapi lelama syiok bangat la plak! Ammar had his first try with my hub but i guess he was sooo fobia that he refused to try again afterwards...takpelah janji merasa sekali :)

This is where we had our buffet breakfast. The cafeteria was actually located next to the beach. Food again was so-so. We paid RM18 for Idlan while the other two were FOC..lega :)

We had a sight on this creature at the beach! Ayah belangkas dan anak dia :)

dah mati beranilah pegang...kalau tidak jgn harap hoho

 

the floating restaurant by the beach

 

jom lukis!

nice try by Firas :)

misi mencari ikan

the boys

pasir dekat pantai ni actually agak halus..mmg sedap dipijak. Air tgh surut pagi nih...

ok bukan abah sorang je yg try...mama pon berjaya memberanikan diri try slide yg agak sharp nih..even though bukan 90 degree tapi sudah cukup membuatkan dada berdebar-debar hehe

 

pool time!

 

We let the kids enjoyed their pool time until 11.20am, then rushed back to the hotel to pack our things and check out from the hotel at 12noon. Headed off to the Morib beach to hv our lunch (food was so-so..again!) and straight away went back to our home sweet home.

@ the Morib beach

Overall, it was a nice experience staying at this resort. The only not-so-good-thing is that the buffet spread was disappointing. The rest is all ok - water park best, they are not strict about bringing in ur own food, hotel room sgt best n is offered at a very affordable rate..and surprisingly we didn't encounter that unpleasant sticky smell as what been informed by few other visitors before.

A short family getaway in Gold Coast Morib Resort

Things that we loved most about the GCMR...is of course its hotel room! The room was spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and most importantly, it comes with a big jacuzzi that fits all our 3 growing kids hoho! We made a booking via the hotel website. A 2D1N stay only costs us RM168 (promo) that comes with 2 adult coupons for buffet breakfast + 2 water park tickets. Upon check in, we were given another 2 coupons for buffet dinner...haha rezeki rezeki :) Wifi is available at the hotel lobby (unfortunately no wifi in the hotel room, sangat sangap rasa!).
 We arrived around 11am, and since the room is still not ready we decided to straight away jump into the pool! Ohh before that we had our early home-cooked lunch inside the car...mommy's delicious nasi goreng kampung + ayamas drummet...syukur alhamdulillah :) There are lockers available for rent at RM15 (RM10 is deposit) in case you wanna leave some of your personal belongings. Water park opens at 8am. We bought another 2 tickets for our kids (RM20 each) while Ammar is FOC. Foods are allowed inside the water park, there are few small shops selling junks and water park equipments, also an art n crafts shop along the water park entrance.
Now let's have a peek on the hotel room!

The jacuzzi...view from the hall

spacious enough to fit 3 small kids of ours :)

the shower

Queen bed

the room is very spacious!

 

Kids' 1st jacuzzi experience hihi

 

@ Buffet dinner. We paid Rm25 for Idlan..while firas and ammar is free. The buffet spread is so-so...tak sedap sgt pun and not worth your money if you're going to pay for more than 1 person. If you don't get the free buffet dinner, my advise is for you to go and look out for that scrumptious ikan bakar dinner along the Morib beach!

Inside the cafetaria. Orang sgt ramai..but at this hour orang dah mula surut :p

 

the hotel lobby

Pen off for now and we'll continue on nx entry ya...till then~

Gold Coast again?

Kita nak pegi mana mama cuti sekolah kali ni?

Pegi Gold Coast...

Yessss. Berapa hari mama?

Sehari jer...

Eh kenapa sekejap jer..bukan jauh ker?

Bukan Gold Coast Australia tu la....Gold Coast kat Malaysia nih jer.

alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

hehehehe amboi anak2 sekalian...
takkan nak repeat Gold Coast OZ berkali-kali kots..
Lainla kalau company mama kasik bonus masyuk macam bank ker GLC lain ker...konfem tak payah tunggu bertahun-tahun utk menabung...terus mama klik 'now everyone can fly' dan buat booking! :p

Takpe yer....tahun ni kita cuti2 Malaysia jer. Kena doakan abah cepat siapkan phd, lepas tu baru mama intai-intai 'now everyone can fly' dan kita pergi jalan2 cari makan!


So cuti sekolah kali ni kome ke mana?

Oh just for my personal note, alhamdulillah si sulung kami sudah berjaya khatam al Quran pada Sabtu lepas. Syukur kami panjatkan kepadamu Ya Allah, yang menerangkan hati anak2 kami, dan memudahkan proses pembelajaran anak2 kami. Moga Kau kekalkan rahmatmu buat anak2 kami, dan anak2 sahabat kami...agar mereka terus berjaya dunia dan akhirat.

Mama terfikir nak buat pulut kuning dan rendang utk dibawa ke Kafa, tapi aishhhhh nak masak rendang? hahhhh itulah masalah paling besar buat mama..i've never cook rendang on my own sedari dulu! (opss pecah rahsia rumah tangga!) Masak utk family pon belum pernah, apetah lagi nak masak utk budak2 kafa yg ramai tu kan....lepas tu mesti ustaz dan ustazah kafa tu pun akan rasa...kalau rasa rendang tu pelik, waduhhhh jatuh reputasi mama haha!

Nak outsource kepada Nek Umi...susah pulak arrangementnya nanti sebab pulut dan rendang mestilah kena masak pada hari yg sama..baru sedap. Mama tanye pada si sulung, kalau mama bawak kek je ok tak? Si sulung sgt sporting...dia cakap 'ok jer mama!' Tapi ish mama masih rasa tak puas hati. Abah kasik idea...'nanti kite tanye makcik jual nasi lemak tepi sungai tuh'. Oh yesssss idea yg sgt bernas...harap2 makcik tu sudi buatkan pulut kuning buat anak mama nih aminnn :)

The velvety red velvet :)

Based on my personal record i can see the order trends and somehow figure out that the red velvet cakes were normally ordered by the same customers. Product loyalty i suppose? hehe whatever it is, tqvm my dear friends for the continuous support. We're more than happy if our cakes delight your day!

 

She reminded me about her order somewhere 3 weeks ago prior to the delivery date.  Mengidam katanya. tqvm dear, glad that our cake becomes ur family's favourite hit!

For Alya, Ninin, Ain & Hafiz. Utk anak2 sedara dia i suppose. Safe journey cik yatie!

 

our creamylicious cream cheese frosting somehow make this cake to be distinctive from other rv :)

 

 

Love at first sight? She gave me a very long positive review on her cup cakes delivered a week before, and now she ordered the same cake for the upcoming family gathering. Tqvm dear Suhaila...moga kek ni menawan hati ahli keluarga awak yer :)

 

 

I seriously love the lacey design!

a smaller version of rv, again it was a repeat order from my previous customer. Dulu order utk besday cik pippa, now si mama yg nak pulun sorang2 :)

tqvm kak ija...enjoy ur cakes to the max!

Anak mama

Mama saya mama sayaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! Itulah yg akan dijerit setiap petang oleh Firas & Ammar dari pintu rumah bila mereka terus berlari ke dapur mendapatkan mama mereka. Lumba sape lari laju dan dapat mama dulu. Nice game kan? very sweet..mama mmg terharu. Lagi kelakar bila setiap kali lumba, Ammar pasti kalah...dan akan stop half way dan merajuk. Kaki merajuk betul si kecik nih!

Abang Firas yg cheeky dan suka sakat adik. Lately mama perasan semangat belajar dia agak mencanak. Firas tak reti...Iman dah potong Firas. Firas nak praktis lagi..nak potong Iman. Iman dah muka surat 10..Firas baru 4. Few weeks after, mamaaaaa Firas dah potong Iman satu muka surat....etc etc

Kids with their cousins @ Satay Station Kg Pandan.

they can become best buddy at one time..and quarrel the minutes after. itulah boys!

my eldest who is currently sitting for his Kafa test this whole week. Susah betul nak suruh blajar, ada je excuse yg diberi. But apparently he is the most obedient son amongst all :)

he talks a lot nowadays, and picks up vocab quite easily these days. Yang paling manja dan sangat attach dgn mama...he calls me 'mama yati' and address himself 'ammar iti' hehe. Seboleh-bolehnya mama cuba elak utk outstation atau pergi ke training yg memerlukan mama stay overnight. Pasti rindu sama si kecil yg masih menyusu badan nih walaupun susu takdela byk mana pon. Apa2 pun, dialah yang paling lama menyusu badan dgn mamanya...moment indah yang pasti jadi kenangan terindah buat mana2 ibu :)

Celebrate cakes for ur anniversary, birthday, aqiqah..or anything :)

This was an ad-hoc order from a colleague, ordered special for her 4th wedding anniversary. I will normally say yes to ad-hoc orders like rv or brownies, provided all the ingredients are sufficient in the kitchen. For complex cakes like pecan butterscotch, that will be a big no no for urgent orders :p

She wanted me to put some toys on the cuppies, to attract her lil ones of course. Told her i only have angry birds in stock...so layan la angry bird pon jadikla!

The blue angry bird..couldnt recall its name though.

Happy 4th Anniversary Su! May u hv a blessed marriage till eternity, dan bahagia selalu amin..:) The very next day she texted me giving such a positive review on the cakes...those sweet words really made my day dik tqs! Slm kak yati, thanks a lot 4 d wonderful red velvet cup cakes! Very nice n delicious, x manis and balance dgn cream cheese akak yg sememangnya sedap tuh..hani dh mkn byk2, of course dia mkn dulu love icing tu n kutip angry bird. Mkn pun cream cheese akak je pastu ngelat kek ibu dia habiskn...

uhh pjg betul review adik manis nih...terharu kakak awak ni taww kembang semangkuk hihi :p

 

This is dark choc brownies, customized according to the birthday boy's preference. Milk choc ganache n M&Ms to be specific :) I had a tough time to hide this cake from my kids...surely wont get away easily if they ever had a sight on those colorful M&Ms haha

 

The owner and majority of the whole house was now put under quarantine..sakit mata isk isk. Get well soon kak Nor & family! and tqs for ur continuous support :)

These are walnut dark choc brownies...one to be given for an engagement ceremony, another one to be shared with friends during usrah gathering. Tqvm Aliza n Hany for ur continuous support...do come again :)

Ehemmm here we go another pecan butterscotch in the house!

yang meruntun jiwa seorang mama yg baru 7 hari dlm pantang hihi. She asked whether there's any traces of caffeine, mocha, coffee or alike? when i said no...terus dia konfem order utk majlis aqiqah baby Adam. Jenuh nak sampai rumah Hani..boleh tahan sesat jugakla. The last time i was here maybe 11 yrs ago? masa kenduri kawin hani!

Review dari owner dan tetamu2 yg datang hari tu sgt positive....sedap menjilat jari hehe. Thanks Hani for the order and invitation..alhamdulillah it was like a mini gathering with few comrades of ex-mmu on that day. Congrats on the arrival of baby Adam...yg ke-5 ok! ade bran nak catch up Hani? haha...Moga kita ketemu lagi insya Allah!
