It’s been over 15 years since I’ve gone on a proper vacation with this side of my family. I used to be rather close with my cousins when we were little infants. Back then, it used to be all play, fun and laughter.
Port Dickson with my cousins - many many years back
Our parents often took us to the Port Dickson beach over the weekends. Back then we’d make sand castle, swim in our little black tubes at the beachfront and occasionally we went crab catching if we got to the beach early enough.
Now fast forward with a blink of an eye, more than a decade has passed. This time round the little family rascals organized another beach trip and took the parents for a beach vacation instead.
Redang Island was the chosen getaway. It is located near the South China Sea at Kuala Terengganu and I am proud to say this is one of the most beautiful island in the world and yet it is located in my very own country
Amazing Redang
It’s my 3rd visit to Redang and each time I revisit, I am reminded of why I keep going back over and over again. This place is simply enchanting. Crystal blue clear waters, soft white sand and an awe-inspiring beautiful marine life.
Family rascals
Here’s a snapshot of the family rascals. Men and women now. Plus the new additions to the family
Beloved Parents
Granny came along with us. I believe for most of our folks, it was their first experience to such a glorious island. I had to photoshop Uncle Alan into the group picture because he got overly excited upon arrival. He hurried to check ito the hotel to put on his bathing suit and missed the family photo.
Jumpshot by the Beachside
It was so much fun hanging out with the cousins again. Reminds me of good-old, good-old memories. Not all of them are here with us on this trip, but Franco and Cliffton are the closer ones I used to hang out with a lot during my childhood. We took about five snapshots in the attempt to get that perfect jump shot! This is the one where we finally got it right!
Swimming with the fishes at Marine Park
Picture at the marine park. Here you can watch schools of fishes swimming together. Simply magnificient! I love the marine life. Some of us spotted the murray eel and giant garoupa here as well. It was the first time snorkeling for mom, aunty Josephine, uncle Alan and Graham. They had a really good time once they got the hang of the snorkels and masks.
Hanging out at Beach Front with Mom
Here’s me and mom hanging out at the beach front of Laguna resort. Thank goodness for sunshades. It was really hot on the third day. Beautiful background, wouldn’t you agree? Mom was really happy throughout the trip. I haven’t seen her with so much glee in the recent years. Things are getting better now for her
Beach Bum Making Money Online
Here’s me brainstorming some ideas on the bonus E-book on How to Create 5 Figures Income Online.
I actually made some sales too while I was away on holiday. Surprises me from time to time that some old campaigns still brings the bacon home.
Laguna Resort
The family get-together was really heartfelt. This side of my family has gone through many financial struggles previously. And there was a long period of worries, remorse and heartaches. Times are definitely much better now for us. Even better now with more of my Internet Business ideas kicking off
I’d like my next family trip to be in New York. I’d like to take my mom to New York to visit her youngest sister. Aunty Terrenze and Uncle Burn took care of me and my sister between the age of 7-9yrs. I have not seen them for over 10 yrs now. It’s time I go over and visit them

Woooo hoooo! Well deserved vacation Elle.
I had no idea we have such beautiful beaches in Malaysia. Thought all of our beaches are just like Port Dickson.

P.S. Still can’t figure out which one of them kids is you in the old photo. I’m guessing it’s the shortest kid.
