Happy 1st Birthday!!

We took Emre over to LKW for his 1st birthday celebration,yes, just the 3 of us, no guests list, no pressies, no hassle for this lazy mommy.

We flew to LKW on the 5th August 2009, is the first flight experience for Emre, am so glad he fell asleep before the flight took off and only woke up after we land. (good boy!)

Once we reached LKW, we rented a car from the airport and drove our way to Berjaya hotel.
It was a pretty crowded hotel, after checking in, we realized that the chalets was located a good distance away form the hotel lobby and we need to take the shuttle service.

The shuttle service looks abit like those we took in zoo, open spaced and windy when the vehicle moves, emre enjoyed the shuttle rides as he keep very still during the ride to our chalet, looking at the trees and pple around.

Since he still look abit sluggish and tired, i stayed indoor with him while he sleep.
His daddy went out to tabao food for lunch, we pretty much stayed indoor during the first day, only drove out for dinner at the town area in the evening, walking through the pasar malam and tabao some food for dinner.
Back at the resort,we bought Emre his slice of cake from the hotel cafe, sang him birthday song while he cries along (he was sleepy and cranky). Fed him abit of the cheese cake and he doze off almost immediately without having sips of water!

2nd day at LKW, we went for the cable car ride early in the morning, the ride up was abit stuffy and hot due to the morning sun, we alight half way up, and took shots of the scenary. ( it was really windy, we did not anticipate the big wind, and i hugged emre tightly for fear he might fall sick again) We continue the ride up the hill/mountain,took more shots before riding all the way down.It was fun and beautiful having to see the whole of LKW & beyond up at the hill/mountain.Headed back to our chalet since emre still need to rest and he still look tired and sluggish despite having recovered from the fever.
Headed out for dinner at the another area of LKW, had a pretty nice dinner with rice and dishes this 2nd nite, instead of tabaoing, we decided not to bring any more food back to the chalet. Reason being, the first nite whatever we threw in the rubbish bin invited many guests aka red/black big ants!

3rd day was basically just driving ard LKW, we ventured out to tanjong rhu beach, but it was raining, thus we did not actually get to step on the beach, we passed by black sand beach, without stepping on it either cos it was still raining.
We drove to "The Datai" checked out this super expensive and highly rated hotel's lobby/pool. It was pretty secluded and quiet, many of the hotel guests are couples, did not see any kids/babies ard. (since was raved for being a honey moon hotel) It looked and smelled like a SGD800-1k+ per nite kind of hotel.
Next up the list was a hotel called "The Andaman" , we saw kids/babies in this hotel, it was not as crowded/busy like berjaya. We walked to the pool and to the beach, the waves and wind was incrediblely strong.... took some pictures and headed back to our car. If we were to return to LKW, we will like to stay at "The Andaman".
It is definately less crowded than berjaya, the beach are clearer and the pool looks bigger and more fun for kiddos. The staff are dressed in white and the lobby is huge and nice. :)

We are back in SG on the 8th August 2009, Emre still got rashes all over his body till now.
Doctor did mention before, when the fever goes away, rashes will break out. The rashes came on the 6th aug and it still lingering behind till today.
Emre appetite dropped tremedously over the last 2days, not sure if is due to the rashes or his teething, YES he is teething again! two side teeth, not sure what they are called, they will be his 9th and 10th teeth. Just hope he will regained his appetite soon, he is very skinny already, weighing only 7.62kg during the doctor's visit on 3rd august. Definately not meeting the 3x birth weight guidelines!

Wonder if he kenna H1N1 since the symptoms are similiar : H1N1 for babies, fever followed by rashes...hmm...mmmm...
