Great weekend at Marriott (two weekends ago)

Thankfully we went to stay at the Marriott Resort & Spa two weekends ago coz the haze is back! The room was spacious with two double beds, and they also included a cot for Jillian. In the end, the boys took one bed while the girls the other. They also upgraded us to the rooms facing the pool!
Jon was in the swimming pool for the second time and he wasn't afraid. Er, I didn't know what I was thinking coz i packed his baby float. Of course my super-sized Jonathan who looks more like a four-year-old wasn't able to squeeze inside the float! As a result, he stumbled a couple of times while walking in the wadding pool and drank mouthfuls of water. Jon looked longingly at the huge floating inflatable bouncy-cum-slide. We told him he can go on it when he's bigger. He must have looked so forlorn coz one Brazilian couple even offered him their beach ball! In the end, he had so much fun on the kiddy slide, which we thought was a pretty tall slide too. He was so brave that he wanted to climbed the slide via the slide and not the stairs. Got Simon to ask him to walk up the stairs and Simon would catch him at the bottom of the slide.

As I was with Jillian, I told Simon to dry him with the towel (the type with a hood). But we forgot about the wet hair! As a result, Jon came down with the sniffles last Mon and Tue. Oops, bad parents!
We also tried the new Korean restaurant just round the street from the hotel. We had nice and authentic Bimbimbap, and a dish of glass noodles which we had ordered for Jon but he decided he didn't want it as it was too black. And we got the staff to BBQ the pork for us, we couldn't do it ourselves coz we had two kids with us. We would have ordered Bulgolgi if it hadn't cost RM55 a plate (dollar for dollar, it's way expensive compared to Singapore where we can have a whole set of BBQ items, Korean ginseng chicken and side dishes at S$45 per person!)

Right after we came back from our relaxing weekend with the kids in two, the haze started last Mon. Every morning, we will have the haze thick in the air! While the authorities have fined two companies rm2,000 each and some home owners rm200 (for burning leaves in their backyard), the real culprits have not been penalised.


The nursery closed all doors and windows and switched on the air-conditioning. Poor Jon wasn't allowed to play the slides and what-outs in the outdoor area. Good thing is that he didn't come home all drenched in sweat! haha. But I wished the weather would be better soon. The clothes smell, and the smell even permeates into the house (kitchen, & dining areas, and toilets too!)
