We are staying at Hilton Hotel. Today we woke up and went down to eat breakfast. There were 2 peacocks and 3 peahens roaming around. Then we explored the hotel. After that, we went swimming. The slide was really fun. Sort of like a shorter version of Waterworks from Wild Wild Wet.
After bathing, we ate lunch at the Natural Restaurant. Then we went shopping. Dad got us ice cream cos we kept asking him. Then we continued shopping. Mum got me a bag from Naraya. Did I mention Gran is on the trip with us? Finally, after all that shopping and walking, we ate dinner at Zen. I had a yummy katsudon. Then we went home. Then I wrote this entry. I've got to go bathe now. Then we can watch Valiant, which we rented from the business centre while exploring.

I was too exhausted to write yesterday. Yesterday, after breakfast, we spent almost the whole day in Kidz Paradise, which is a kids club. Rachel and I did Batik painting and made bead necklaces and bracelets. Daniel was out running, playing with sand and chasing peacocks.
Today, we had breakfast at the executive lounge. There's a computer there so I played some computer games. After that, Dad, Dan, Rach and I swam while Mum and Gran went shopping. We bathed, met Mum & Gran, and went for lunch at the Natural Restaurant. This time, we saw a mother cat and her 5 kittens. 1 grey with dark grey stripes (like mother), 1 totally black, 1 black & white patches, and 2 black & white & orange patches. So cute! Then, we went shopping. I got a new pair of shoes. Mum, Dad & Gran had a massage appointment from 7-10pm. So we bought KFC, and went back to Hilton for dinner. We ate, raided Mum & Dad's room for snacks, bathed, and watched Mr Bean and part of Jurassic Park 1. Hope Mum & Dad don't find out about the raid.

Gran will be going home tomorrow morning. She is going on holiday with uncle in Brisbane, then aunt in Malaysia, one after the other. Going on holiday with 3 children in a row.
Today, we woke up late. We went down for breakfast. Then Dad, Gran, Dan and Rach went back to the room while Mum and I went to collect the batik paintings. They weren't ready, so the lady said she'd ask room service to leave the batik on our beds in the evening. We didn't find them. I think Mum told them room 1297 or 1298, which are our room numbers. Mum thinks she said 1295. Hope not.
We went for lunch at a fishball noodle restaurant. Then we went shopping. For dinner, we went to this really good Italian pasta place. Mmm. We went back to the hotel. Mum & Dad went out again for a date. I planned my design for the batik Mum & I are planning to do tomorrow. Got to bathe.

Today, we woke up real early to send Gran off. I woke up at 5am, fell sleep, then woke up at 6.20am. We went down for a quick breakfast. I had 3 small peach danish puffs. We sent Gran off and took a walk by Karon beach. It was lovely when the waves hit our feet. The wet sand was soft, like a cushion. Dan, Rach & I picked shells. Then we went back to bathe.
Mum & I went to draw our batik designs while Dan, Dad & Rachel swam. Mum & I joined them when we were done. We swam till 11.30 then bathed and went for lunch. Shopped till 3.15. Went back. Painted batik while Dad, Dan & Rach played ping pong.
We ate dinner at the executive lounge. We went back to room 1297. 1298 was checked out. Mum & Dad went out for a massage. Am watching The Tuxedo now.
5 June '06 (which was a Monday)
Couldn't write on Sat & Sun cos this book was already packed.
After breakfast on Sat, Mum & I finished painting our batik while Dad, Dan & Rachel swam. Then we met with them, they bathed, and us kids were left in the Kids Club while Mum & Dad ate lunch and went for a massage. Rachel & I did tie dye. Then my tie dye was sewn together with my batik to make a bag. Mum picked us up at 5 and introduced our rented driver for the holiday, Baw (pronounced Bao), to the kids club lady, Jampa (pronounced Champa). She was hoping they'd become you-know-whats. We went to pick shells at Chalong Bay. Much more shells there. Then we went to Patong beach and ate in Zen. We shopped a lot, then went back to the hotel.
On Sunday, we woke up late. We ate breakie, then swam and played water polo. At 12.30, we got up to bathe, then ordered room service for lunch. Then we watched tv (Mum slept) until 4.45. We ate dinner at the executive lounge. At 6, Baw took us to the airport. We shopped a bit, then boarded the plane. We ate tim tams. I couldn't sleep because Rachel wouldn't let me and kept waking me up. Plane flight (Singapore time) 9.30pm - 11.30pm. We only got into bed at 12.30am.
