Kuantan

Was away with the family to Kuantan last weekend.
We stayed in Hyatt, Kuantan.
I think it was the best hotel in that area already.
This trip was definitely different, because i could really relax.
Honestly, there's nothing else to do in Kuantan but to relax.
Hyatt's beach was awesome, mainly due to the fact
that i could just access it through an opening by the pool.
Unlike all my Penang/ PD trip where beaches also do surround me,
the food were all so tempting that I barely got to enjoy nature.
This time however, I fully utilized mother nature.
It was 3 days of sand, beach and pool.

Scroll down and envy..

Sunset so notice the pictures getting darker.

My failed jumping pic. My arms look dislocated.



















Oh, btw, I saw Jimmy Choo in Pyramid the other day.
I don't have the original soft copy yet, so here's the edited copy my sis did.
















I also managed to meet the Chong sisters, Vanessa and Pamela
from TARA 2. We've been a fan of theirs since day 1.

The other dog.

When we came back from Penang last month,
we found a small puppy shivering in the rain and cold,
on the patch of grass right opposite our house.
Needless to say, no cold blooded human would have left the poor thing there to die.
Honestly, I believe it would have died if not. It was so small.
So, we cleaned her up and made our home a temporary shelter for her.
It was rare, it was a white chihuahua.
We were awaiting and expecting posters of a lost dog to be up.
We soon realized that this dog was not well taken care of,
the vet said that the dogs teeth were in very bad condition.
We also realized that this dog had no voice.
It was then clear that it belonged to a breeder,
No wonder they don't even realized it was missing.
And Oh, this puppy is actually a 4-5 year old dog.
We named her Cotton.
Cotton stayed with us for about 3 weeks.
We took good care of her but she didn't have the
luxury of roaming the house at anytime like my other dog.
Once my dad's colleague agreed to take cotton, we knew it was time to let her go.
She went to a much better home.
She now sleeps with them on their bed,
although she has her own brand new bed and clothes worth more than RM300.
So, here are the pictures of her.




















Don't think she's that small?




















How about now?



































Where she sleeps at night.















How she sleeps at night.




















The day she had to leave.


































Sending her away.



















Goodbye Cotton. We'll miss you.

A little something

As promised, from the last post of about a month ago,
the " little somethings" I got from Hard Rock Penang.
In 2008, while in the states, I started a hobby.
A good but expensive one. Aunt Anna bought me a land yard.
Then i started...
Pin collecting!

The first one I got was from Hard Rock, Hollywood.




















Then I got this,



















When we visited miami beach,














Dad brought back these,



















How patriotic.




















So, while visiting Hard Rock Hotel, Penang.
I got myself a couple more to add on to the collection.
It is really an expensive hobby, these cost RM45 each.




















This piece is not a limited edition, but it was the last piece available.




















This is a limited edition. Only 150 pieces in the world.

So, next time when you are out of ideas on what to get me...
Or when you go overseas and visit a Hard Rock Shop..
You know what to get me.
Hint to all Hard Rock Pin collectors, be sure to get
1. The ones that states Hotel over Cafe,
they are worth more inthe long run as there are to date only
13 Hard Rock Hotels in the world.
2. The ones that states limited addition at the back.




















The yet completed Land yard. Feel free to add to it anytime.
