The Holiday!!

A dear friend from Russia, Nadezda has asked me,
What does Christmas mean to me..
Or what is the scent of Christmas for me?

Before I could answer it
I need to share something.
I am witnessing a new trend on traditional celebration in my country.
More and more people are going away on vacation with their family
Instead of celebrating it the traditional way at home.
Is this happening in your country too?

Many of you, I believe, have heard about Malaysia.
You may not know much about her.
That's okay, I'm here to tell you...

Malaysia is a peninsula surrounded by waters..
There's the Straits of Malacca on the west
And South China Sea on the east of her.

Not to mention the many islands surrounding her!
And guess what?!
My family will spend our Christmas holiday on one of the islands!!

To all my blogger friends,
Welcome to Malaysia!

Check out the pristine clear water..

A familiar sight on all her islands!

Here is a brief about my vacation plan.
The Pangkor Laut Resort,
Which is situated in the state of Perak,
Is chosen as our holiday retreat!

The Sea Villas

A private suite on stilts.

Imagine sleeping with the cool breeze from the sea.

And wake up in the morning for beach activities,

Or simply soak in the sun..

And rejuvenate at The Spa.

Just what I need :)

Reading a good book under a tree

And then after a short snooze...

And water activities later..

Lastly some aromatherapy...
In a pool of fragrant Frangipani flowers!
Just before the sun sets.

The kids will be busy with snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing.
And jungle trekking activities.

Now to answers queries on my holiday retreat :)

What is your favorite flower for this holiday?
Frangipani...
It is found everywhere around the resort.

Which preparation for this holiday you never miss?
Packing and unpacking later..
It's a mom's job :(

What is the scent of your holiday?
The smell of sea...
Not to forget the aromatic scent after the Spa.

Which song makes your celebration?
I don't have any..
But I do have a favorite movie though..
"The Holiday"!!

Last but not least..
Look who was here before!

Maestro Luciano Pavarotti with the owner of the resort, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh.

So my friends,
My question to you is..
When are you coming over :))

Have a lovely weekend!
