A day trip to Kota Tinggi and Desaru...

I had to go on a day trip Kota Tinggi to pay a supervisory visit to a student on internship yesterday, Even though it was only a day trip, I managed to mix business with pleasure...

It was my first time to the east side of Johor, and as usual, when i had to go on a business trip to a place that me and the kids have not been before, I'd take my kids along... It was a looooong journey - almost 8 hours to go there, including 3 stops that we made a long the way - to have breakfast at Dengkil Rest Area, to pick up their daddy at his other house in Muar and to perform solat zohor/asar at Masjid Jamek Kota Tinggi... and of course some sesat time looking for the place which was further up towards Desaru...

We left Shah Alam at 7.20am and we only reached the place where the student works at 3.30pm!!

And since we were so close to Desaru, about 30 km away, we decided to go to the beach... It was breathtaking... the kids wanted to stay overnight, but I just had to disappoint them - we needed to go back home on the same day as our home is under extensive renovation, takut pencuri masuk ikut lubang2 yg masih belum ditampal...

We left Desaru just as the sun was setting... since we were heading west we were literally driving to the sunset... another breathtaking view (but no pics, the camera ran out of battery). I just captured the view with my mind...

On the way back, we stopped by Pagoh to visit FIL and MIL. They tried to persuade us to stay overnight, but we just coudnt... may be next time...

We reached home at almost 2am, just in time for England vs. US...

Here are the photos that we took for kenang-kenangan...

4 mermen and a mermaid.... my mermen and mermaid...

My 2 body guards... with these 2 around, noone would dare to mess with me... their promise literally...

Konon macho la tu...

This girl pantang berdiri depan camera...

Nabil-sometimes he can really be dramatic, and he has a good voice too, I wonder if I should send him to vocal lessons so that he can be the next Shahir.. hehe..
