Wedding anniversary weekend getaway

Yesterday 1 Feb 2015 was my 12th year wedding anniversary. Alhamdulillah we made it this far and counting on.
.
We didnt have any specific plan to celebrate as my MIL was supposed to undergo an operation to remove the cataract. At the very last minute the Op was cancelled due to high BP. She's probably too worried or too tired as she just came back from KL babysitting her cucu in KL. So my husb gave green light to proceed with short vacation. We chose Penang Batu Feringgi this time. Apart from being our all-time favourite vacation place, its also close by with just 2hrs plus. I then quickly made an online reservation via agoda on Friday and we were lucky to secure a room at that very last minute.
.
Saturday I picked up my husb from work and off we go to and reached Penang around 5ish. There was a bit of traffic at the jetty. We stopped by for laksa at Tanjung Bungah like always whenever we go to Penang. but this time I think ermm the laksa is just so-so. Checked in at the Parkroyal hotel..was upgraded to a one-bedroom suite perhaps as the other rooms are full. Irfan couldnt wait to go and play with the sand. So after a quick freshen up and change, we were already at the beach and let irfan loosen up to play with the sand, while I savour up the sea breeze hrmm wonderful!

We got back to our room when the azan sounds heheheh had to pry irfan from the sand while promising him to come and play again tomorrow. A mere 1 hour was just not enough for him definitely. The aircond in the room suddenly got warm and after a while i lodge a complain and the technician came to look at it. Apparently something tripped and couldnt be repaired. The reception boss call me up and request us to change room. And that was at around 9 pm already. Spoiled my plan to go out for some pasembur at Gurney Drive, strolling at the Feringghi night market and lepaking at the hotel lounge watching live band hrmm. Anyway, the room offered only have 2 super single bed and i started making straight voice and mention about our anniversary day here hinting that it would just spoil our plan (hehehehe). We had to move anyway coz it would be too warm then as the aircond's not functioning. So i requested for them to join the beds and to late check out at 6pm free of charge. Otherwise it would cost RM30 per hour. They agreed, and the room turned out to be a bigger and better 1-bedroom suite heheheh with dining area and bigger balcony that fit for a small party hehehe. After everything settled, we went out for the pasermbuq but this time not too satisfying. Told my husb that next time we come here I wont be asking for laksa and pasembur anymore, to which he didnt trust me hahaha
.
Sunday morning after breakfast, we spent our time at the beach again...then at the swimming pool for irfan and his papa to dip in the water. I just sit around and be the photographer. Too lazy to change and everything. After that, we brought irfan to play at the kids club. He sure had fun during our wedding anni hehheheh and behaved good as well alhamdulillah.
