Well, not really. Cos then I won't appreciate beach holidays anymore. Plus I don't think I will be able to survive living in Kuantan after having lived in Bangsar all my life. Face it, I'm a typical, pampered city boy.

Anyways, Kuantan was great and really met all my expectations of a simple, beach holiday getaway that was decided on a whim. Initially I was afraid that my ideal holiday would be ruined by rain, seeing how it's been pouring like crazy over the last two weeks in KL. Hotel was expensive, but I think it was well worth it as the service was excellent and the room wasn't too bad either. Only thing I regretted not bringing over to Kuantan was my "Guide to Malaysian Street Food". I say it wasn't easy findiing decent chinese food, hawker or otherwise, in Kuantan. Fortunately we're not too picky over food, so we still managed. However, the surprising thing was there was not a problem with flies or mosquitoes at all. AT ALL! We went to the fishermen village for dinner on our first night, and it didn't hit me till halfway through our meal that I haven't even seen a single damn fly at all. The only thing that I had to chase away were the cats jumping on my lap during dinner. I'll take chasing cats over flies any day!

Beach wasn't as good as Perhentian (obviously), but still relatively clean and blue and un-penang.

Overall, a very enjoyable holiday for us. I could tell she didn't wanna leave by the look on her face alone, so I take it as a good sign.

People say holidays are a great way to take a break from work. I agree, but holidays also make you not want to COME back to work....so it's kinda de-motivating in a way. I'm already looking forward to the next holiday already.
