Balik kampung for raya


We took a week off to spend puasa with PILs in Langkawi. Food was scrumptious, weather a bit rainy but just fine. My FIL has been busy building his houseboat and fishing cages. Soon there will be more interesting activities when we balik kampung; other than shopping pinggan mangkuk of course.
Unlike mine, my husband comes from a pretty small family. There is not much visiting to do (to my relief!) but many friendly faces to meet and very close relatives to spend some xtra quality time with. I guess the saying the more the merrier is not exactly true. I love the combination of the green sawah padi and the deep blue sea. The view of the ocean always manage to clean our eyes after a very tiring day.
My FIL says , nak letak buaian on the houseboat. He means a hammock. I was imagining lazing on the houseboat with cucur cempedak, a good book and a lazy white cat on the hammock. Bliss! Cant wait for it to materialise.
We found a new lepak/eating place in Perdana Quay, where people get to have meals just a few inches away from the seawater. Very cool. The set up is also very simple and feels like you're on a real mexican vacation. Bring a book to read and order a cup of latte will be an excellent way to spend the evening at Perdana Quay.
I also managed to persuade F to have a late nite coffee at Westin, where you could sit under the stars, overlooking huge clear water swimming pools and private beaches just at a distant...with jazzy music and weird mat salleh just moving with the music hehe.
Hope to balik kampung again! i need the fresh air:p
