Colmar Tropicale, Day 2

Next morning, I woke up for Subuh; and it was ABSOLUTELY FREEZING when I took my wudhu. Was shivering and had to snuggle back in the covers to warm myself up. hihi. Siraj and I shared a room and he wanted to put the AC at 20 degrees but my dad said to put it at 23 because it would be so cold. And true enough, in the middle of the night, Siraj woke me up shaking with his teeth chattering>_< So I switched off the AC and we went back to sleep, though this time we slept under THREE blankets and snuggled closer.

Next morning, we took a buggy to the Japanese Garden Spa (JGS) and Botanical Garden. THe JGS has this really beautiful Japanese environment. Koi fishes, shrubs and the like. There was even a house there, made of wood, low-ceiling and had sliding doors. We had to go up a hill but the walk is absolutely worth it!:)

Plus, at the JGS, there was a Kimono rental thing and I really wanted to wear one. If you've seen a kimono before, you'd be surprised at the cutting and how it's worn. Ahaha. The cloth at the arms are kinda extended a bit and the 'dress' is bound by another strip of cloth. The lady put on really tight and I think I couldn't breathe that well, much less walk properly. Hihi. But it was okay in the end:)

Then we walked to the Botanical Garden. Long walk!>_< though it was just full of flowers and greenery:)

Before we left Colmar, we stopped by at the Rabbit Farm. We got to feed and interact with them in this compound. Instead of feeding food pellets which were available, we fed them leaves (since they'd probably be so full from people feeding them the pellets. Besides, we seemed to be having more interest from the rabbits when we feed them leaves>_<). I really wanted to hold one so I tried luring this black rabbit with the leaves. But once it reached near to me, it started running back to where it was. Lol. So in the end, I gave up and just kept on feeding them. Siraj was a natural with the rabbits though. He got the carry a few and they just laid lazily on his arms. He's a pro with animals!:D

Next, we went to Hyatt Regional Hotel at Kuantan which was nearby a beach and stayed there for a night. It was just simply nice, getting to sleep a lot and relaxing. Hihi. The next morning we went to breakfast late (there was only 15 more minutes left) so then basically just stuffed ourselves with food. Lol. We had a walk after breakfast and my brothers body-surfed at the beach. The waves are really strong because it's from the South-China sea (as my dad told me) and it can pull you further and further away without you realizing it. At night, it's even stronger and as beautiful as it is, it can be really dangerous.

So that's our awesome end of year holiday!XD
