Aktiviti petang-petang sekarang kalau panas. Dulu ride-on Fahim ni kereta. Skarang bukak some part jadik motor plak. :p
Salam semua..Been away last weekend to Brean Sands, Somerset for 4d3n holiday. Incek husben was looking for an indoor waterpark since December last year, but because of we're busy moving house and many other things that bothered us such as weather, blah..blah.. so we postponed the holiday sometime in summer. Finally, 2 weeks ago I found a good deal in Mighty Deal (kind of Groupon) £59 for a 4d3n self-catering holiday at Pontins. Pontins is a theme park which has its accommodation with indoor swimming zone and outdoor play zones too. We redeemed the deal and chose to stay at Pontins Brean Sands, Somerset. There are 3 other places to choose from; Camber Sands, Prestatyn Sands and Southport. We chose Brean Sands because it was the nearest and shortest trip that takes about approx 2 hours from Stafford. Traveling with a toddler-yet-still-baby was not easy i tell you. Tambahan pulak check in pukul 4 pm.,nak masak lagi..maka option yang dekat dulu. Our destination was near to Bristol. So we thought we could have a city-sightseeing later.
Sebelum book few weeks tu cuaca memang hamboih-hamboih..sedap jek panas. Kipas pun dah keluar dari stor. Tapi kusangka panas hingga ke petang, rupanya hujan di tengahari..bukan tengahari dah tapi memanjang hujan. Memang tiada mentari langsung Sobs..sobs.. Tambah malang pabila beberapa hari sebelum bercoti incek husben terjangkit selsema dan demam dari colleague dia. Dah terjangkit kat Fahim pastu..haduii..sabar jelah dugaan Allah. Alhamdulillah sepanjang perjalanan dan holiday Fahim cepat recover.
Day 1-Friday-14/6/13
Lepas check-in, daddy kemas beg sume, mommy cepat-cepat masak nasik. Taruk marinated piri-piri chicken dalam oven dan microwave-heated aje the can peas. Lapo gile blom lunch sebab brunch roti telur je dalam kete. Tak nak berhenti sebab Fahim sedap tido. Perkakas dapo, dining set sume ada tapi sebab was-was boleh bawak sabun samak dan kalau tade macam ai boleh la hangkut periuk nasik dan senduk. Self-catering le katakan maka benda basic macam beras, telur, bawang, pisau, sardin, roti etc memang ai hangkut. Piri-piri chicken tu beli kat Tesco Stoke sebab halal so senang masuk oven grill aje. Ai bawak aluminium foil. Ada je kedai kat situ boleh la nak beli apa-apa. Sempat berkenalan ngan jiran sebelah. Laki dia British bini Portugese. Anak2 yang boy nama Salgado macam footballer namo eh dan pompuan Amy. Suka sangat kat Fahim..
~in front of our apartment.
~meet new friends
The apartment has 2 bedrooms (2 single beds and 1 double bed), a sofa bed and tv at the living room, 1 bathroom with shower and 1 kitchen equipped with fridge,cooker,oven,microwave,kettle, toaster and breakfast bar.
We slept on the sofa bed on the first night. But there was a miserable funny thing happened. Around 4am our sliding door has been knocked couple of times..and it was LOUD! Kat sini kul 4 pagi dah terang benderang..We went to see who's knocking our door and to our surprise..it was a SEALGULL!
~ai tak sempat amik bideo tapi ala-ala cenggini la al-kisahnya
Annoying kan?Padanlah dalam katun Nemo tu pun ada tunjuk annoying nya menatang nih. Luckily our lil' Zidane didn''t woke up cause of the noise. Few minutes later we heard him knocked our neighbour's. And we even heard the wifey shooed him away. Lol!!! Pagi-pagi bikin panas..
Day 2-Saturday-15/6/13
Our lil' Zidane had a good sleep though..alhamdulillah, despite of his cold, he loved the experience to sleep with us. Maklumla anak bujang tido sendiri kat bilik dia sebelum ni. Cuak jugaklah mak bapak ni acane lah nak kasik tido ni bila gi bercuti. Rupanya suka dia meleset-leset kat mommy dia. Lagi ngantuk lagi leset. Tapi the secret weapon kena ada. Muahahaha!! Cot mobile + teddy + mimilk (bottle). Tutup lampu semua purak-purak tido. Setengah jam membebel pot-pet sesnsorang pastu lalaland sampai pagi. Mak pulak rasa bahagia dapat tido peluk bucuk tu. hewhewhew..! ^_______^
Simple brekkie toast + hot drinks. Pukul 10.30am pegi swimming zone. Penuh pulak, disuruh datang balik kul 11am. Ok lah, bawak fahim main kat play zone. Ada macam-macam selain outdoor play area, ada trampolining, kids go-cart, fun bikes, Captain Croc Adventureland, dan yang paling teruja ada sorang bapak bawak anak besor skit dr Fahim naik quad bikes. takpe sabo..besor skit kita naik ye Fahim.
notakontot: further info about Pontins activities click here.
Kami bawak Fahim main kat Little Tykes Play Area, sesuai untuk golongan manusia kecik macam Fahim. :p
Tepat kul 11am terus gi swimming zone. Swimming zone tidaklah seperti yang kujangka konon waterpark cam Sunway Lagoon tu, tapi okeylah ada water slide (tak naik pun). Fahim merasa la naik water slide ngan daddy. Ni first time bawak Fahim mandi pool, sayangnya takleh amik gambo. Member siap ber 'arm band' sume. Air takdelah heated sangat, sejuk2 suam gaklah. Si Fahim masuk je dalam air mula la menguap.Haish..orang bawak mandi dia negantuk plak. Tapi sempat la ajar kuak-kuak kaki tu. Surprisingly baby ni memang nature dia pandai sendiri kot dalam air. Cuma sebab dah umur setahun dan dia dah mula aware perasaan 'takut' so dia cuak-cuak jugak. Moral of the story, dedahlah baby anda seawal mungkin pada swimming ye. :)
After 35 minutes in the pool, I took him out and bathed and changed him. Bagi roti sambil2 tunggu mommy siap. Penat berenang jadik lapo ye Fahim? Memang sengaja keluar dari pool awal sebab changing room akan penuh bila cukup time. Nak keluar je dari swimming zone, hujan turun dengan lebatnya. Sampai je apartment, mommy masak for lunch dulu then mandi. Lepas lunch, Fahim la paling awal nap dulu. Petang dia bangun tido, lepas minum petang kitorang pegi jalan-jalan tepi pantai. Tapiiii...ya ampun, angin gile kuat. Sojukkkk! Hello..ini summer kah? Where's the sun? We need sun on our holiday! T_T
~beach dekat dengan farm
Lepas 'cannot go' dengan cuaca merepek tu, kitorang naik kereta terus gi jalan-jalan ke town Weston Super-Mare, 20 minit dari Brean Sands.
~Weston Super-Mare
~banyak luxury accomodations kat Weston Super-Mare ni.
~Seaquarium
Dinner petang tu menu simple tapi Fahim makan berselera. Nasi + sardin campur peas + grilled piri-piri chicken. Ni first time Fahim makan canned sardine sebab tengah holiday, sebelum ni dia makan fresh fish. Dan malam tu kami bertiga tido dalam bilik sebab tensi dengan cik busybody seagull. Bwahaha!
Day 3-Sunday-16/6/13
It was Father's Day. We went to Sovereign shopping mall at Weston Super-Mare to celebrate Father's day. There was not much attraction inside the mall, but at the outside there were lots of shops and high streets. But Weston Super-Mare as you can see is a lovely and beautiful town that located on the main sea front promenade. If not because of the rain we would definitely love to stroll along the seaside. When we're inside the mall, we split up and I went to a bookshop and bought a Father's Day card for Zaid. Actually I have other plan that supposedly involved some baking skill, nak angkut all my baking tools along are way too much lah kan..huhu. Then I found this card...memang sesuwaii sangat.
~member perasan tu untuk dia..maklumla katun feveret In The Night Garden
Kitorang tapau fish & chips dan lepak tepi beach. Memang sedap dan fresh fish & chips dia. I think it was seabass.
~making sand castle wif daddy on Father's Day..wee!
After spend half an hour at the beach, we off back to Pontins. Get changed to swim attire and to Brean Leisure Park we went then. Time tu pukul 3.30 petang. Brean Leisure Park ni sebelah Pontins je dan dia macam Genting Theme Park la ada macam-macam rides and roller coaster. Yang best tu free admission dan kalau nak main boleh beli token 50p each ride.
~view roller coaster tu boleh nampak dari apartment kitorang sebab Pontins sebelah aje.
~daddy cuba tunjuk skill baling tin tapi ke laut..hahaha!
Sebelah Brean Leisure Park tu ada Brean Splash Waterpark,indoor & outdoor. Besar jugak dan banyak water slides. Tix £6 camtu pp dan under 1yo is free. Tapi sebab masa tu dah pukul 4.15pm dan dia nak tutup pukul 4.40pm maka tidaklah berbaloi kan. Kitorang plan esok lepas check out nak pegi sini mandi. Tukar plan bawak Fahim mandi kat Pontins swimming zone jek.
notakontot: Kalau stay di accommodation yang conjunction with Brean Splash Waterpark dapat discount tix.
Day 4-Monday-17/6/13
Malam tadi mommy pulak terjangkit selsema. So daddy la tido ngan Fahim sebab taknak Fahim terjangkit balik. Pagi-pagi mommy bangun masak nasik dan grill ayam piri-piri last batch punya. Panaskan kari telur dan pack semua barang-barang. Ingat japgi lepas mandi terus lunch nasik dan lauk panas ni. Suddenly masa dalam keta nak check out daddy cakap 'weather cam takleh blah la yang..tade mood pulak'. Hahaha! Memang pun..hujang renyai-renyai pagi tu. So kensel gi mandi kitorang off to Bristol city. Nasib baik ai pakai cecantik siap2..haish!
Sampai Bristol cuaca dah mula panas. grr..sabar jelah. Tapi syukur jugak ada sunshine boleh camwhoring sightseeing. Cantik pemandangan di Clifton Suspension Bridge ni.
~mercu tanda Bristol city
~subhanallah..amazing view..dan gayat. :p
Masuk city kitorang parking 2 jam kat Castle Park dan piknik je dalam kete. Lepas tu bawak Fahim main kat sand playground kat situ. Punyalah hepi main pasir.
~a wooden castle
~everything was made by wood & timber..
~Fahim kagum daddy turun dengan pole tu..bahah!
Then kitorang jalan ke town dalam 5 mins walk je dari situ. Saje cuci mata. Ada banyak high streets shops. Tak berpeluang nak cover habis sebab masa parking pun dah nak habis. Jadi kitorang terus balik dan selamat sampai di Stafford pukul 6pm.
Alhamdulillah, the trip & holiday was pretty good despite of the gloomy weather I think we had good times.
Hari ni laki cuti. Kaki beliau sakit pas men bola semalam. Kurang warm up katanya.
Semalam Hari Bapa kat Malaysia. Sama le pulak dengan UK. Happy Father's Day to babah. Kuhadiahkan al-fatihah juga buat arwah ayah mertuaku. Tapi yang paling spesel untuk tahun ni pastinya buat boyfriendku itew..maklumla tahun pertama beliau sebagai daddy. Daddy siap beli t-shirt "I'm the Daddy" lagi..auww! ;) Happy Father's Day to u, daddy! ~hugs ketat-ketat!
Patut duduk rumah berehat je la kan. Tetiba pas mandikan fahim pagi tu daku saja nak try baju & seluar baru dia. Kemain la mak dia nak pakaikan jeans kat dia kan..bila perasan anak dah hensem bergaya, terus rasa cam "alolo nak pegi mana semat-semat anak mommy ni".. :p Apalagi..tetiba je si bini ad-hoc kan plan gi piknik kat laki. Sian kat anak dah melawa tak pi mana..hahaha!
Packed jajan, air dengan buah je. Takyah beria sangat, bukan ada air terjun nak mandi pun. Pegi tu pun kami tiga beranak jalan kaki je (kami berdua je jalan, si kecik dok dalam pushchair, lol..) al-maklumla park tu pun dekat je ngan rumah..cuaca pulak kemain santek lagi hari ni.
p/s Jangan tanya pasai apa tajuk Father's Day tapi gambar mak yang lebih..tu kena tanya pak dia. Taknak publisti katanya..
