'going south' to Johor (Maryam Saad Hashim)

Hello everyone....... Have you ever watched these cowboy movies where someone mentions the famous "am goin south"?...... guess you did. well just last semester's mid-sem break I did go south......I went south to Johor.
I was so exhausted from all the work and assignments, and I even had two mid-sem exams to study for. So I didn't really welcomed the Idea at the first place but my husband insisted that its good to get out of my mood and to have fresh air.

We got Tickets from the matta fair for one night in a resort called Lotus Desaru Beach Resort.

Main entrance 

5 star rooms

View from the Balcony

when we reached our destination, I was so exhausted and wanted to sleep in the cozy beads in our stay..... the rooms were tremendous and the beds were so cozy like a big white teddy bear hugging you.<3




However, the kids ( Aboodi and Melek) was eager to go for the water park especially that the balcony in the room overlooked the whole fancy water park which was no doubt attractively calling us..... So Bye Bye to sweet white teddy bead, and Bye Bye to sleeping for now.

Beginning of the slides

 We really enjoyed the water park. The pools were connected to one another with water slides which what the kids enjoyed the most.

My husband and daughter Melek

so they rode the sides and went wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My son Aboodi

 and another wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
until they reached the main pool were we spent the rest of the time

As you can see both my children aren't good swimmers so they like to support themselves with the floating tubes.

 after about 4 hours in the water we were starving. It was about 6 p.m. so we walked to the beach which was part of the resort site to have dinner in one of the restaurant there.

The beach

The beach was so beautiful with lots of trees adding a cool shade for the people. the wind was nicely blowing so we really enjoyed dinning and later hanging around.

we couldn't stand the beauty of the strong waves that washed us over and over again...... including my hand phone which drank Johor's salty water.

the next morning we had a free open buffet breakfast which was extra ordinary filled with local and western foods and drinks. unfortunately I forgot to take some pictures for the food. i was too busy eating and serving my kids, so i really apologize.

we really enjoyed Johor Bahru. If you haven't been there yet

I really recommend you go.
