My short family break...AFarmosa Resort Malacca

We left home about 6.05am, taking the LRT, then transfer to service 75. The morning was cool and my family was feeling excited upon going on this train journey to Tampin. Siti Aishah was the happiest of all...singing and laughing along the way....she just cannot stop blabbering...

We arrived at KTM Tg Pagar at 7.20am...boarding was to be at 7.30am...we made it just in time... the train left the tracks at exactly 8.00am... Fuyohhh we are on our way....!!

I brought Sardine sandwiches & Spaghetti Oyster Sauce packed in individual containers for easy consumption. In the train, Razak & the kids took turns playing the PSP, I just listen to my MP3. It was a smooth ride...finally we arrived at 1.15pm...had lunch at a nearby food stall. Chatted with the owner, Pakcik Ninggal...who offered to drive us to AFarmosa in his car... Alhamdulillah!

We checked into our condo apartment...Condo D'Savoy. 2 queen size beds, living room area, TV, dining area, a pantry....spacious and clean. However, that could not be said for the landscape of AFarmosa....much can be done to improve on how it looks... as we entered the entrance to the 520 hectare resort...we couldn't miss but see the gantry was very worn off.... looks depleted and not exclusive as we imagine a resort to be... nothing compared to Sentosa..

Anyway, we kept positive and wanted to enjoy our stay there.. off we went to Cowboy Town. The weather was good, soft breeze can be felt around us.. we toured the Cowboy Town, bought a cowboy hat....saw the acrobatic show, red indian show and finally the carnival parade and a magnificent fireworks display... what a good finish. We attended the 4D-Cinema...The Haunted Office was screening. Good show...our seats moved, water sprayed at us, our body being poked at and special effects was not that bad too.

We went back to the condo at 11.15pm....was very tired...did our solat and off to bed.

The next morning, we went to have our complimentary breakfast at the Chinese Restaurant (Halal) Still minding my slim points...I chose wisely... I took generous amounts of cucumber (actually for Nasi Lemak), a tbsp of baked beans, a sunny side up egg (cut out the yolk) a portion of Bee Hoon, fresh fruit cuts and a cup of hot tea (no sugar). I survived....

After breakfast, we got ready for WaterWorld... Siti Aishah was very excited... off we went. The wave pool was nowhere compared to our Jurong East Wave Pool. It was rather pathetic... as we we waddling in the Lazy River...my hubby noticed nails on the walls... that could have easily hit anyone's head...Subhanallah!... safetywise... terrible.. We got out from the Lazy River and off to the slides.... this is much better... I went down the moderate slide with Sulaiman... the slide was fast...and furious... YeeHah....so syiok man..... as we reached bottom... the buoy turned over, crushing Sulaiman below me... kesian dia... my leg hit his head...my poor boy..hugged him..said sorry and off he went to play again... that was enough for me..I did not go up again... Aina & Aishah went together up in the slides... I could see they enjoyed the ride.... they were so cute together... Razak went alone.... twisting in turning in the tunnel....Phewww!

The 7th storey high down slide looks eerie n I am scared shit! I did not even try that one. I am too scared. Razak, Aina & Sulaiman were courageous enough to go.... check out the video...you see what I mean...video still under processing...

At 5pm, the weather turned on us...soon it was dark & rains starts pouring...luckily for us...we had toured the whole WaterWorld area...we changed, packed some food for dinner, kids got some snacks for the night and hurried back to the condo. As we were all too tired to go out, we just stayed indoors and watched TV. It was raining heavily too.

The next morning, we went for breakfast, walk around the resort and start packing...checkout was at 12 noon.


After checkout, we went to Tampin, had lunch and walked around town... most of the shops were closed...maybe because its Hari Raya Haji Eve...however we chance upon people making lemang... we bought some for my mom & MIL. Sulaiman called them Bazooka...

Stopped at the town mosque to do zohor..then back to the train station. We took the 4.15 train and reached Woodlands at 9.45pm. What a trip! Overall it was a fun short holiday.... my hubby plan to go on an adventure trip without the kids,,,just the 2 of us...backpacking...ya right.... so he plans....lets see if it happens....Wakakakaka
