I'm going to the beach!

The last time I was at the beach....as in PROPERLY by the beach (Penang in Aug 09 not counted cause it was raining the whole time we were there and I didn't go into the sea for a swim cause it was so murky)....was so friggin' long ago that I can't even remember when it was exactly. Neither can I remember where.
.
See. It was THAT long ago.
.
Krabi in 08 also not counted cause I was suffering from all-day sickness and didn't enjoy myself one bit.
.
So, I think it was Redang in 07 before I got married.
Yes. THAT long ago.
.
ANYWAYS....we're heading to the beach again!
And I'm sooooo terribly excited that I can't sleep every night just thinking about it.
.
We're heading back to Lang Tengah.
The very same island where the hubs and I first went for our scandalous getaway before we were even officially dating. Hah!
.
That that, we brought ourselves, 2 bottles of JD and a whole lot of mixers.
This time, we're bringing ourselves, a 20 month old terrorist and a whole lot of diapers & wet wipes!
.
The boat transfer from jetty to island is via speedboat so SK is a little paranoid la.
I don't blame him.
I mean, the big buffalo can't swim.
And he knows very well that if anything happens to the boat, I'll save Renee first and he'll have to fend for himself.
But fortunately for him, the boat provides life jacket for cacat swimmers :-)
Unfortunately, they don't have one in Renee's size.
.
SO.
.
He sent his unemployed wife (whom he thinks sit at home doing nothing) on a wild-goose chase to look for a swim vest for Renee.
.
After searching high and low, twitting friends for help and bla bla bla....I FINALLY found it.
.

.
At Mothercare, BSC.
.
But I got the one in red with blue lining instead.
And it cost me RM178!!!
.
It better work man!
.
I also bought Renee beach toys, you know, the pail, spade, gali-gali stuff...
.
Oh yah, I almost forgot, all the pharmacies and supermarkets in this state don't believe in selling sunscreen lotion for kids wan issit??!!!
.
Guardian, Watsons, Jusco, Parksons and Cold Storage in 1U sells sunblock for almost ALL sorts of people, from the vain, to the old, to the sporty EXCEPT for kids!!! Stupid!
.
BSC Guardian and Cold Storage also don't have.
.
Subang Parade also don't have.
.
Pavillion also don't have!
.
In the end, I found it in the Guardian near my house.
This area may be ulu but not as ULU and STUPID as you big malls in KL and PJ area.
Hmph!
.
Ok, anyways, I'm so excited!
Leaving this weekend!
And this will probably and last post for now until I come back....unless I wanna be a little more rajin...and IF the stupid Maxis boradband don't kaput on me again.
