Beach Baby

This was Dhamia's first introduction to the beach. She must have freaked out by the loud crashing sound of the wave as she was initially quite restless when brought to the beach. Infact she had be carried all the while as she did not want to even step her feet on the sand.

This is one reason why I like Pangkor. The beaches here were not as crowded as elsewhere. And furthermore, the beaches were more pristine and cleaner. 

Pangkor Here We Come

Off for a holiday in Lumut. It has been a long time since I last visited Pangkor and this time around, there is another addition to the family. After such a long drive and several stopovers, it certainly felt great to have reached Lumut. Time to sit back and relax.

Received a surprised news when we reached Lumut. The passing of Perak's Sultan. Which means that our holidays in Perak (Pangkor) coincided with that historic event. So no entertainment throughout the State.

Tin Mining Museum

Looking at these photos I could not help but wonder if this place is really that boring for Dhamia. She was fast asleep throughout the visit to the Tin Mining Museum in Kampar. Actually, she was already asleep in the car before we even reached this place. So that kind of explain why she was being carried throughout the museum.

This was my first visit to this museum. Infact, this was one of the places that I had planned to visit during the trip to Pangkor. As Kampar is conveniently located on the way to Lumut, we were able to stop here for awhile.

We were so close to missing the opportunity to visit the museum as the place was already about to close for lunch when we arrived. However, we were able to enter albeit at a fast pace visit. Did not have the opportunity to really enjoy the exhibits due to the time constraint. I must really make a point to visit this museum again should I ever be in the vicinity of Kampar again.

Sweet Little Eskimo

 At first glance, one would have thought that this is an Eskimo girl. However, unfortunately, there is no Eskimo girl here in Melaka. So we have to make do with what we have...Dhamia. Well, minus the show of course. 

Actually, these photos were taken at Dataran Pahlawan after we took Dhamia shopping for a sweater. Not that we are going to Korea or north pole but simply to prepare for the Pangkor trip. Being a seaside resort, we were afraid that she might find it kind of cold there. So as a precautionary measure, the sweater is a must.

Hair Raising Experience

Check my hair out. So what do you think about it? Well, since Dhamia's hair had grown longer it was about time to tie her hair. And no thanks to her mum, this was the result of the endeavour.

Dhamia And Her Hat

Dhamia and her funny-looking hat again. She seemed to be so engrossed in something that she did not even realise that I was standing there snapping away. As with kids, there were times when it was almost impossible to snap her photos as she was unable to sit still. And on the other hand, there were also times when something like presented itself. Of course, more often than not, it would be quite a daunting task trying to get her to keep quiet.

Cooling Off

Welcome to Dhamia's world. This is an impromptu photography session..which explains for her lack of clothings. This was taken during the dry season and as such, the weather was rather hot and just to keep her happy, she had to go around like this to cool things off.
