Since we had already met the staff from the portable toilet company for our awakening enlightenment meditation retreat yesterday, this left us with some free time this morning as we did not need to rush and could enjoy some of the facilities of this colonial style Malaysia beach resort that we had been staying for the past two nights. We even saw some games for team building going on along the beach and caught some fisherman images from our villa. We managed to get some great sunrise images as well as ocean images. On the way back, we also captured a few full moon images.

This morning saw us taking a walk along the beautiful beach in this part of Malaysia where you could see the vast South China Sea. We were told by Mr Selva that dolphins have been spotted by guests before but we were not privileged to have that honour this time around. Here we managed to capture some great images of the ocean as well as the sunrise.

Along the beach, you could see activities such as volleyball and team building games happening. Families strolling along the beach as well as fishermen were a common sight. The hotel’s swimming pool was also well patronized on this lovely Sunday morning.

The fisherman was very patiently waiting for the big fish! In fact, he was there fishing since yesterday.

The heat from the sun was becoming unbearable, this being the hottest season of the year
We proceeded to the Reception area to check out at 1145 hrs and as Mr Selva was busy with a guest, we waited for him in The Dining Room. When he came, we ordered the fish curry and chicken with dried chilli that we had yesterday. As these were special orders, we had to wait approximately twenty minutes for our lunch.

As tomorrow was hubby’s birthday, we also ordered the ice cream cake. Since we did not give any advance notice, the chef was kind enough to accede to our request and came up with a ‘special’ birthday cake at the last minute. Great job!

And the yummy ice cream cakeIt was a wonderful and enjoyable birthday celebration and we were happy that we were dealing with Mr Sleva and Mr Gopal, the GM whose motto is that the guest always comes first.
We did a room inspection after lunch where we saw a normal Hollywood twin bedded room as well as a junior suite. Beautiful and spacious, the junior suite is great for a honeymoon couple or even a family.

We finally started on our journey home at 1445 hrs. It was sad to leave but we know that we will be back soon to do a food tasting before our awakening enlightenment meditation event to be held in November 2009.
On the way back to Singapore, we were caught in slow moving traffic for almost an hour. By the time we arrived in Tesco, Masai, Malaysia, it was already 1830hrs. We spent some time shopping before leaving at 2045 hrs. We headed for dinner at Moon Café.

However as we had keyed in the wrong branch of Moon Café into the GPS and we missed a turning, we decided to go straight back to Singapore to have dinner instead.
By the time we reached the exit to Woodlands causeway, there was such a long queue of cars, the longest we have seen, so we decided to detour and get into Singapore via Tuas the 2nd Link. It was already 2015 hrs when we hit the 2nd Link and it took us almost an hour to get past both sides of the checkpoint and immigration.

We finally reached Singapore at 2315 hrs and as it was already so late, we decided to skip dinner since we were not that hungry. By the time we dropped our friends off at their doorstep, it was already 2330 hrs.
Even though we did not have dinner and had a tough time getting back into Singapore due to the school holidays, it was still a great and memorable trip. We had a most productive time at the Malaysia beach resort and Summerset Resort would be an ideal place to hold the awakening enlightenment meditation retreat. We are all looking forward to the very first of such retreat in Asia. At the same time, we had a great time snapping away and capturing the images of the ocean, the sunrise, the full moon as well as the fisherman. Interesting!
