Well, after our 1st attempt leaving Sophie with her grand parents successfully happened, we went to Bandung again for another attempt.. hahaha!! It was planned earlier after we were actually addicted to Bandung’s foods, cultures and of course with shopping! Last time we went with Sophie around and we could see that she’s damn exhausted. Plus she might be bored with our passion.. Shopping.. and we did shop till drop! Hehehe..
For us to be out there alone.. it seems like a therapy for us -- to get a break, get a romance mode.. I’m not saying that we didn’t get enuff at home, with Sophie around.. no!!.. in fact Sophie was not the point since she is already been sleeping in her luvly room. But if we were alone, and went to the strange place, it does kinda remind us with our 1st honeymoon in London. Yeah!! Of course we were worried and always feel concern about traveling without her. There are so many reasons why we need vacations… One of them is we believed that our Sophie will have a great time hanging out with the grand parents. I think she’s definitely will have a great bond build between them and build many wonderful memories. Sometimes, there's an education only grandparents can give, which we never thought of it.. so just let them spend time alone with your children.
Then, FAMILY is depends on the strength of our marriage. We totally agreed that it's important for us to get away to focus on the relationship we have, not just raise children. Trust me… Your children feel secure knowing their parents love and care for each other. Give them security at home by renewing your marriage relationship - - not that we have to this because we had problems in our marriage.. it’s better to have it since we know we love each other. We've earned a vacation. Hardworking parents need a break, right?
And do you know actually the kids need a break from you? As the matter of fact, you can't shelter them their entire lives, they need to experience the world without you. Doing it in a safe environment like the grandparents house is a great first step toward doing things on their own. When you return you'll be amazed at the new things they've learned - - She did..
And for last January, we were decided to leave Sophie again for my birthday celebration & another trip. Yup, that was cruel if you say so, but this trip was not meant for her. Trust me.. Snorkeling and stuffs were not meant for babies and toddlers, ain’t I right? Therefore, we booked tickets for two and this time we were inviting my lil’ sister, Noi and her friend, Ila to travel along to Krabi. It was an awesome trip! We were there for only 3 days 2 nights and basically we just went to the snorkeling trip and did some shopping. All the pictures already been uploaded to Noi and my FB.
It’s been totally fun with the speed boat cruise and snorkeled around at those beautiful islands in the world. There was lots of tourist everywhere.. as if we were totally in the strangest world indeed.. I must say that we didn’t have much time to spend for other attractions, but we promised ourselves that we are going there again someday. There were lot of thing to do in Krabi and we regret we didn’t do it. However, if you plan to go Krabi soon, make sure your pocket is full since the halal foods is expensive and so does all the shopping stuff. I think they’re targeting rich ‘mat salleh’ people, so sometime they just being so arrogant if we tried to bargain. If you encountered this arrogant shop-keeper, please do ignore them. There’s a lot of shop you may go, and some of them are generous enough to give you the stuffs u need with a great bargain.
So back to my lil’ princess.. Sophie was being a good girl even she did mention about ‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’ for several times, yet she’s ok. I made several calls to check upon her but overall, my mum said she was great.. so perhaps for the next trip she would be ok with her daddy then.. xoxo
