We went down to Malacca to attend a friend's wedding. Both papa and I were looking forward to our first family trip. Even though it was only for one night, we started thinking what should we pack especially Aston's things a week earlier!
Anyway, the morning started as usual and I bathed Aston before we left. We intended to leave the house at 12.30pm but didn't manage to. We only left about 1.45pm as I wanted to feed him first and papa wanted to make sure we brought everything that we need. Well, happy to say that the drive to Malacca was very pleasant. Aston slept not long after we left the house. He woke up when we were passing by Seremban and was listening diligently to what papa and I were talking in the car. He fell asleep again about 20 minutes later and only woke up when we arrived at our hotel.
We stayed at Philea Resort. Is a cabin style resort. The ambience of the resort is not too bad however I must admit it is not really baby friendly. Well, the only drawback is that access within the resort is not stroller friendly because the cabins are only accessible either by foot or buggy and the pavement is very uneven. It was a very bumpy ride on the buggy imagine if you're pushing a baby on the stroller! Anyway, I did manage to request for a baby cot and it's free! Not sure whether all hotels provide baby cot for free... this is my first time checking into a hotel with a baby. We wouldn't mind coming back to this resort again provided that by then Aston can walk so that we can explore the resort. The room rates well.... I would say close to Avillion in PD.
The wedding banquet was also held at the same hotel. We were surprised by the amount of children attended the wedding. We thought we will be the odd one out but I guess we're not the only one! Anyway, the table that we were seated was quite close to the exit door which was good and we manage to find a place to park the stroller. We were prepared for the worst during the banquet but looking around the tables with infants both papa and I are very proud parents. Aston behaved so well that it amazes both of us! Papa was so worried that Aston will be afraid of the loud noise and kept asking whether should he carry him out of the ballroom.. I insisted he stay put unless he started crying very loudly which he didn't even get close to that. When the banquet started he slept in his stroller. He did woke up during the marched-in and the food presentation but fell asleep again after that until the third dish when the emcee made some announcements and video presentation. He did startled during the yum-sing session but papa's hand was always with him to comfort him. After all that noise, he started getting drowsy again.
We left before the dinner ended as we wanted to try some local food. We ended up at Medan Ikan Bakar. While we were driving there Aston slept in the car until we arrived. The food was not too bad especially the grilled fish and nasi lemak. Aston was awake the whole time during our feast but we kept him entertained by talking to him. He was showing signs of hunger so I told papa that we can't drag too long. We left immediately after we finished our meal and went back to the hotel. Aston slept again in the car. I got a bit worried that he might not sleep once we arrive back to our hotel as he's been sleeping so much during the day. Anyway, I kept a positive mind. Once we arrived back into our room, I changed him to pyjamas and fed him. Papa was chatting with him while I took my shower and get ready for bed. Once I was done, he was showing signs that he wanted to sleep so we quickly put him down on the crib with his pacifier and he fell asleep within 10 minutes.
Both papa and I joined him in slumber land not long after.......
