Raya @ The Laikar's

Things have changed since dad left us. We remember him every single day, and Hari Raya has never been the same without him.



Although we are hurting inside, we know we have to be strong for each other. We also need to create good memories for the kids.



So, this year, we did things differently -- we cried, but we also had lots of fun.



Enjoy the video!



 

The Laikar's Meet Tigers!

The main reason for us to choose Phuket as our holiday destination was a chance to get upclose and personal with the playful tigers at Phuket's Tiger Kingdom. 

I googled about it and found out the best way to go there is by making arrangements at one of the tour companies based at the airport, upon your arrival. The admission fees is the same everywhere (THB800 per person for adults) but the airport based tour company throws in free transportation (from 10:00am - 5:00pm). 

Children were allowed to see the baby tigers (not the big ones) and they must be accompanied by one adult. My nieces knows their dad would tease them hard so they insisted to in with me instead. 

It wasn't easy when you had 3 scared nieces and one who is not scared at all!

The little one in my arms wanted to carry the baby tiger, just like her bunny at home.

My dad & mum! 

Auummm! 

The Laikar's Goes To Phuket

It took us months to plan. For the very first time, my entire family goes on a vacation abroad together. It was a major challenge trying to match everyone's schedule (including the kids and their school etc!).

I was worried throughout the planning stage, and it was totally worth it. I guess if there's a will, there's a way for sure! 

First time for all of us to get on board. On AirAsa of course! 

My little niece, Syasya insist to hold her own passport

The first thing we did : get soaked! 

We went out to explore the night market after dinner. There were plenty of cute decorations everywhere 

Patong Beach - it was busy but we had our own spot - the kids built their sand castles, and jump in the water back and forth. 

I was hoping to get a nice tan! 

After a long day, we went to get pampered at a local spa. The famous Thai foot massage!
