Labour Day trip to Lake Kenyir

When I received an email about a department trip to Lake Kenyir, I had to think a lot before I could click the “Yes” vote button. It used to be an easy question for me to answer but now, I have to run through a standard checklist of questions for mothers before I can decide. And I thought I was fickled before I became a mother!

I am not complaining, this is still an adjustment phase for me. Oh..let me rephrase that. I think as long as you have children, you will have to continuously adjust your lifestyle to fit them in. I am not changing how I live, but I need to fit Lukas into my schedule and as much as that sounds really fun, it is super tiring. It surprises me how the adrenaline in me never runs out. (It better don’t run out when I am driving with Lukas in the car!)

Ken and I try as much as we can to bring Lukas wherever we go because it is he who needs to fit into our lifestyles and not us into his. I thought about this……and after much deliberation with Ken, I clicked “Yes” on the vote button for the trip to Lake Kenyir! It is not easy when we have to drive 6 hours to Lake Kenyir Resort and Spa. But we did it! Lukas was such a good boy, sleeping most of the time in the car. He didn’t fret when we had to stop by some mamak shop to change his diaper when he poo-pooed, he didn’t fret when I breastfed him in the shaky car, he didn’t fret because he had to sit in his car seat for long hours. Thank God!

So here are some pictures from our trip. It was very nice. All we did was eat, sleep, spa, watch tv and play with Lukas. I believe Lukas received a lot of attention from all my colleagues which thrilled him lots because he couldn’t stop smiling

We made it and Ken and I are proud to have accepted this challenge. Lukas turned 5 months on 30 April 2011 and this was his first family trip with us. :) Here are some pictures of Lukas aged 4-5 months.
