PD Escapada

Such gorgeous weatherLast week, I was asked to attend a UM course in PD. It was held at Corus Paradise, not far from our apartment at Bayu Beach. Puan Anita and the boys joined me later on the trip - I had to reach there early in the morning. I only got to spend a single evening there since I had to come back to KL for the Scott Kelby Photowalk and on calls by Friday evening.

I was actually quite impressed with the room layout at Corus Paradise, although the maintenance was rather lacking and the wing I stayed in - the lowest floor - seemed rather damp. I did not however spend the evening there - went over to stay in our apartment instead - but I had a barbecue dinner there on the evening. Unfortunately, the food was nothing to write home about, even though they had a good setting and all. Which was a shame.

Straight from my course, I joined the boys at the beach. The weather was gorgeous, but unfortunately there were some low clouds at the horizon, blocking the sunset. Getting to the beach was cool enough, so I must not complaint!

Back from the Beach

Irfan hitting the PSP as soon as he woke upWe spend the day relaxing essentially and organising some work at the apartment. There have been some leaking in the upper floor toilet for last few visits and it was about time we get the plumbers in. The problem was the management was pretty strick about the who and what kind of job that can be done. We asked one of the neighbours who recommended an Indian fellow from Seremban. He came  to have a look later in the afternoon.

Lunch at AvilionIrfan exploring the marinaHave to ask the skipper where he moored my yatchWe had breakfast in the apartment. We went to Avilion for lunch then went to do some shopping while waiting for the plumber to turn up. We went first to Teluk Kemang to walk by the beach. Then, we went into town centre for a stroll at one of the newer shopping area called PD Walk. It was located right next to Oceanic Mall if you are familiar with PD at all.

Waiting for Mummy to finish with her shoppingNow it was our turn!It was basically a row of roofed walkway, with a bazaar in the middle. There were a few kopitiam there, a computer shop and a few handphone kiosks. There was also a 7-eleven at one end.

PD WalkApparently they cater for all sizesI have just returned from the beach. Unfortunately it was low tide and the beachfront were full of debri. It was fun none the less. Unfortunately I will be missing the football later tonight. There was no ASTRO at the apartment.

An early start

Got up early. The boys made us promise them that we will take them to the beach early in the morning. Anita and the maids were also keen to go on the banana boat today. Me with my bad back had to stay at the beach babysitting. The weather is warm and we are bracing ourselves for some proper sunburn!

Stalls by the beach - Teluk Kemang

After breakfast, we went for a stroll at Teluk Kemang. The stalls were all opened already selling beach gears, souvenirs and the likes. It was far too warm however to stay for too long.

It turned out that my father-in-law and brother will be driving down from KL to join us for lunch. A quick trip for groceries next before lunch.

Waking up to the sound of the waves

I survived the drive last night but by the time I reached PD the back got even stiffer. Some heat plaster and massage sorted that out before I went to bed. Waking up this morning it didn't feel half as bad.

What to do today? Having breakfast at the Golf Club at the moment. Will be heading to the town later to do some shopping. If I got the time, I might head out for asam laksa and checking out the pasar malam later in the afternoon.
