Family's Day weekend

Well, it was one hell of a weekend. Not literally, almost. My mom's department planned a Family's Day in Port Dickson. When my mom said I had to go, I was reluctant at first, who would want to go to a gathering where you only know your own family? Nonetheless, since we had two room reserved for us, I had to go.

The event was held in Thistle Hotel, PD, google it. The hotel is in a new management, the best part of the hotel is the lobby and the pool. Although, when in PD, you have to go to the beach, although nothing beats the beach on the east side of the peninsular, it's still a decent beach. Best part of the hotel is that they have water game, Banana Boat and Jet Ski seems to be most popular, no scuba diving, since there's nothing to see underwater. If you feel like kayaking, they also have that.

Back to the event. The first order of business when we arrived was a feast of DURIAN! Yes!Free DURIAN!! Since durian's season has started, who would want to miss it? We must have eaten a lot, because right after that, we feel hot (literally), even when we had the air-conditioner at full blast.


In the noon, we had games for the whole family. The game was divided into kids and adults, and each families are assigned to a group. We were assigned to the blue team. The problem with blue team is that we have only 5 children in our group, when it come to the kid's game, we pretty much doom! Except for the musical chair where we totally owned that game, thanks to my 2 big sisters!

In the end, the blue team is at number 2, well, it does not matter what your position, the prizes are all the same, but it was a lot of fun! None stop laughing all the time.

The dinner was equally fun, the theme was Hollywood Night, so you have to wear something from the west. My father and I did not wear any costume, since it was troublesome to search for one, but my sisters when as a Hogwarts's Wizards, and my mom went as a witch.


Most of the people attending also looks equally good. Some came as a princess, some came as pirates, there's even one Storm Troopers. Most ridiculous costume was a Narnia's closet, he bought the cheap closet with zippers on them and posted a cardboard sign on top that reads "Narnia", hehehe.


The next day, we had a little fun in the pool and on the beach, after long day, we went back home. So it was not a bad weekend actually. Oh, my mom said, the hotel had a discount for PETRONAS's staffs.


Au revoir.
