Holiday at the Thistle, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan

Wednesday, 29 December 2010
I have just returned from a three day holiday at the Thistle Resort located in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. Formerly known as the the Guoman Resort, it has been refurbished and renamed. It's a beautiful holiday resort for families and its not too far from Kuala Lumpur. It's spacious, well planned, covers a reasonably vast area with 2 to 3 kiddies pools and infinity pools, jacuzzi, spa, clubs games area and beaches. I had a fantastic view of the pool and beach from my 6th floor room.
Watching the sunset sitting on the deck chair, facing the beach, with the rhythmic sound of lapping waves lulling my ears is one of my most cherished and beautiful experiences. Imagine, no cooking, no cleaning, no screaming with the kids to do their chores, no running around the house cleaning up here and there, no washing and ironing, no preparing this and that ....... aiyo...... never ending story of our lives la..!
It was three whole beautiful days of sleeping, walking on the beach, lazing around , playing games and eating out. Bliss......zzzzzzzzz
Well, it's back to the bandwagon now and just in time as the new year is just 2 days away . There have been quite a few invitations from my girlfriends to attend the New Year Eve party celebrations and although I am tempted to go and have a smashing good time with them , on second thought, I would feel terribly guilty betul leaving my husband and kids to themselves - even though I know in all probability, from experience over the years, the kids will be sleeping and my husband will be watching ESPN reruns.............................
So, in all probability, as over the years I've come to experience it too, I'll do what is right instead of what I like. Stay at home and share a glass of wine with my husband to usher in the New Year . That's a motto that I have learnt to accept, to do what is right than what I like. It makes us grow more graceful and dignified. And in my book that's a lot of difference indeed .
On the painting front, below are some of the painted artwork by my good friend, Tengku Norashikin. Also uploaded is my student, Ms Amanda, who came to learn how to paint bears.................................
The lace frocks for the bears have yet to be painted............
Shikin's cutlery box with lace and lillies of the valleys
with roses........................
a deep kuali or cooking wok
A painted trash box too good to use.............
Happy reading and painting
