Daddy wanted to go holidays with Little Darling long time ago but mummy did not have the courage to do so. Mummy could foresee problems that we would encounter during the trip and Mummy had no confidence that we would be able to handle it well! We would be exhausted during the journey from carrying our Darling who is strong and hyper active yet always refused to walk by himself. Moreover we would have to carry a lot of stuff like hot water, milk powder, milk bottle, etc to cater for our Darling’s needs. More often than not, our Little Darling would have his own opinion and he would get angry and throw temper if he does not have his way. However we thought that we should not have major problems if going on a cruise or staying in a resort or on a free and easy trip to a nearby country! We can any time go back to our room if he wants to sleep or needs to feed.
Daddy had to clear leave before he left his current company and at the same time wanted some rest and recreation before he started his new job in February 2008! Daddy booked cruise to Malacca/KL early January and trip to Genting Highlands end January. We were very excited at the prospect of these tours as that was our first time we travelled together with Little Darling.

We were almost the last one to board on the cruise at 10.30pm. We had barely settled our luggage in room when all on board were required to go for a fire drill.
We were pretty “blur” not knowing that moving from our room to other places we must went through the 7th floor and that the places were huge and confusing! Finally we got to the assembly at the deck area. We met many babies who were about our Darling’s age. After the drill we went for supper. It was about 12.10 midnight but Little Darling still looked energetic though he had skipped his nap in the afternoon. Guessed he knew that we were on holidays! J Little Darling was very sporting and sociable. He was a bit shy initially but after 1 minute warmup, he was enjoying himself shaking hands, playing Hi-Five, peek-a-boo, etc with waiters and waitress in the restaurant.

As usual, Little Darling woke up at 7am though we went to bed only at 1am in the wee hours of the morning. We let him enjoy seeing the sun rise through the window in our room while daddy and mummy took turns to have our morning baths. We decided to take International buffet breadfast where there is a Kids corner for kids to have their meal and mingle around. Again, Little Darling had no problem to mix with other kids and serving staff there. He enjoyed his bread and egg breadfast too. After breakfast, he walked around at the balcony and sat on the deck chair to enjoy sea breezes and magnificent sea view.
He was excited playing at the arcade. He liked the motorcycle and car rides. We had to drag him out from the place with him shouting, kicking and struggling.
I thought of leaving him in the childcare centre for maybe 1 or 2 hours. This was a good time to see if he could stay by himself without Daddy or Mummy by his side and then daddy and mummy could take a break. Who knows he was returned to us in less than ten minutes. According to the caretaker, he was walking around and kept screaming to protest his dissatisfaction whenever she stopped chatting or playing with him. There were some other kids in the childcare center. Little Darling was rejected by the caretaker as he is a possessive baby who need 100% attention!
After lunch, other passengers were busy alighting at Port Klang to go shopping and sight-seeing at Kuala Lumpur. Mummy decided to stay on board as 2pm is Little Darling’s nap time. Our dog tired darling slept soundly from 2pm till 5pm plus, when daddy woke him up to bring him to the pool.
We had an early night after dinner. Since Mummy had to stay with Little Darling in the room, Daddy went to watch the performances by himself.

Time seemed to fly, our 3days 2nights cruise to Malacca/KL came to an end! We reached Harbourfront at 2pm. Little Darling was super grouchy! He fell asleep on the way back home.
