Tanjung Rhu Fish Farm

It's a fish farm. It's a floating restaurant. It was our next stop after feeding the fishes at Pulau Dangli. It was small and the restaurant was only in full swing in during lunch and dinner. We were there around tea time. And there were hardly anybody there.

And as such, we were given a nice tour of all the fish. The boys loved it.

Docking ....Feeding the leopard shark. Best to leave it to the professionals.Here comes the menace .....Anita holding tight to make sure Irfan doesn't fell down. We didn't bring a spare shirt!The stingray needed some loving too ....But my personal favourite was the baby leopard shark. Tiny and cute. It looks like a shark definitely but the mouth was small minus the menacing teeth. The pattern on its torso though was unmistakeable.

Anita loved the stingrays and she was able to feed and pat it.

Our guide who spoke surprisingly good EnglishThere is a shark in there somewhere ...Such a hot day ....Irfan asking what was in that pond. I told him it was dinner ....Something caught Idlan's attentionTime to head back out .....We then had some iced tea there before leaving. Apparently the seafood dinner there was rather good according to my friends. I saw some crabs there in the pond and we can order them fresh. Nice.

Spring Clean

After we sorted out the desk for Idlan, it was time to create some space for it in his room. That would mean taking out his TV and Wii U, moving it to Irfan's room right opposite. Since we were there, Anita decided to clear everything out.

We badly need a book rackIt will work out fine ....Not even the store was cleared. Looking forward to the delivery tomorrow.

Pulau Dangli

After much convincing, the boys agreed to join us for a boat tour. The original plan was for 3 and a half hours. But the combination of the hot weather and Irfan entering diva node, we cut that short to a couple and a bit.

It was a compressed journey in 3 parts.

Waiting for our ride ....Making sure we got one of those For good luckWe actually got the hotel to organise the ride for us. In a boat with just the four setting off at around 3 pm. It was hot but while speeding in the boat, the wind was breathtaking and one did not feel the heat at all.

The first part was feeding fish off Pulau Dangli, about 20 minutes away from the hotel on the boat. Irfan was still warming to the idea then but as soon as he started feeding the fish, he was super excited. We had to make sure that he didn't fell off the boat when feeding the fishes.

Speeding thereAn earlier group was already thereTesting the waterGetting the hang of it ....We were armed with some bread provided by the guide. The water was still and as soon as we arrived, there were plenty of fish around our boat. They were going all out for our bread and the school we saw easily contained around 200-300 fishes.

Time to goSuch serene sight ....We could wait for too long as there were more boats coming - plus we ran out of bread. I thought Irfan especially used too much bread trying to entice the fishes. Idlan was more sensible, but ending up using less quota!

Off to the second part, the fish farm!

Back to School

After almost 3 weeks of Easter Break, the boys were back to school this morning. They were still tired from yesterday's travel - plus some last minute rush to finish their homework. Idlan especially was still groggy this morning.

It would be all action for him today as he has his tuition until 10 tonight. Expect him to be grumpy later ...

The Ferry Home

There were plenty to reflect. And one of them was how fast my children has grown. They are their own men now. And I must make it a point to spend some time on holidays twice a year.

I had a good time with them although they had their diva moments of course. Just the four of us out in the sea was great fun.

The front compartment was quite fullBest not to leave the camera bag unattended!It was tiring though especially when I was still carrying my rhomboid spasm. The ultrasound session at the physio certainly had helped tremendously but it was something I could do without. I had to take the Arcoxia this morning to make sure that I can drive later.

They would be back to school tomorrow while I had to do my taxes for last year's submission. It would be a long night... But it was worth it!
