Our Little Family Trip To Desaru..

Though it's only for a while, we enjoyed our short stay across the border..

The clear blue sky, clouds looking like fluffy floating cottons & the long stretch of what seemed like a never-ending road.. I love how peaceful it was down there.. The beautiful sunset, the lush greeneries & rows of roadside food vendors selling "kampong" fried-fritters.. You could never see such wonderful things here in Singapore..

Our stay in Lotus Desaru Resort was a pleasant one.. Kids had fun @ the Water-park there.. Our suite, being on the high floor, had a splendid view of the sea.. And as dawn broke the next day, the atmosphere outside our balcony, was somehow surrounded by the cold early morning forest mist.. We took a walk along the white sandy beach after breakfast.. And again, admiring the view of the beautiful sea..

Masya'allah, indah sunggoh ciptaan Allah.. I wish we could stay there a little longer though..

Our day @ Desaru Ostrich Farm was a fun-filled & an educational one.. We got to know more about the ostriches & see these one of a kind creatures upfront.. I love how the staffs of Desaru Ostrich Farm were so generous with their hospitality.. We tried the super yummy ostrich meatballs & ostrich egg omelette.. They're so delicious tapi harge bole dikatekan mahal siket.. The thing I love about this Ostrich Farm was that, every meat were slaughtered in a halal manner & the best part, they hired Muslim Cooks to prepare all their food for the visitors who came..

We're lucky to be able to see a day old newborn baby ostrich.. So cute la that little fella in that little glass tank.. Each one of us took turns to stand on the huge ostrich eggs.. Oh! By the way, an ostrich egg is equivalent to 10 large chicken eggs & there's a different in taste.. Ostrich eggs taste way much more "lighter" & healthier.. Memang sedap tapi, like I said, a little pricey..

My bigger babies (including my OTHER bigger baby) had so much fun getting up close & "personal" with the ostriches there.. I'm glad we all did..

So on the same day before heading back home, we managed to drove all the way to Tanjong Belungkor Ferry Terminal to see Singapore & Pulau Tekong from the other side.. I must say, the view was so breathtaking.. We're able to see the Changi Airport Control Tower from where we were standing!!

To be able to see their smile, that happiness on their faces on all the photos, it's priceless..

It was indeed a great experience for all of us.. Guess we should do this short getaway often.. =)

Alhamdulillah.. Syukur..
