Nevertheless, things sailed smoothly, and she only struggled out when we're waiting for them at the bus station. By then, my parents had arrived so it's still manageable. Come to think of that, it's been a long time since I had ever enjoyed any weekend as much, and suddenly I just felt as if all the burdens have been lifted off my shoulder. There's nothing like having someone to rely on, to relieve you when you need them most, and to offer advice as well as support when you felt like the whole world is falling onto you. Well, that's exactly how I felt. I'm so glad I have such great and loving parents, and I wish I could be the same for my kids too.
So many things had happened that weekend. For one, SJ could play on her own at the playground. For the first time, I felt that she's ready to explore things on her own. And I let her wander on her own... see how much she enjoyed herself!
SJ discovered a world of her own!That Friday night, guess where we took them to?
Yes, the recently opened Hark Rock Hotel in Penang. It was our 2nd time there, and we didn't took any pictures the first time we're there. But this time, we're fully equipped (ah yes, we've finally got a new camera!). Initially we've thought of having a hotel stay there since SY's birthday fell on a weekend, and she loved hotel stay soooo much. However, it was fully booked (yes, we're very bad planners, everything waited until the last minute), so our pockets were saved :P
The kids were having a blast of their time, especially SY. See how she danced around to the music. They also loved to laze around on the sofa, enjoying the band's performance. It was such a carefree and easy night - just the right mood to relax and rock away.
While the kids are enjoying themselves, hubby was busy with his new toy.

Our rocking princess
She just loved to make funny poses!
Overall, we had an enjoyable night. The kids were tired and slept right away on the journey home. Can't blame them though, they had been rocking away whole night :P
The next day, we went to another beach at the other side of the island.
Nice beach at Balik Pulau
Despite of the hot weather and also inappropriately dressed, the kids had a fun time playing with their new beach toys. 
We toured the island, but unfortunately we couldn't find any good durians along the way. Still the nice scenery and fresh air made the trip worthwhile. By the time we reached home, everyone was so tired that we slept thru the evening. Even by night time, we're too lazy to go out for dinner so we ordered Domino Pizzas.
As bedtime was approaching, I changed them into their new pajamas. And to my dismay, they suddenly became super active again. Do you know why the sudden change of mood? Doh! They were excited to be dressed in the same pajamas! Wrong move!

Luckily my parents were around to entertain them, so it's not that tiring for us.
Playing toot toot train with Poh Poh
Ah, nothing lasts forever, yeah. One moment they were playing together, the next they were angry with each other!
Angry!

Yeah, so it's time to plan for a 2nd one soon dear :) The best gift for our child is another sibling.

My kids don't seem to be angry at each other. One of them will be angry at 1 time, depending who is making who angry.
Looks like a wonderful 2day outings, and me too...was looking for durian to eat. :-(
