Maldives - Perfect Honeymoon Destiny 1

Alhamdullillah... dah 5 tahun kawen ngan Mr Fairool Mazlan.... throughout that 5 marriage years... tipu la if I olls said all smooth sailing, happy moments ja kan …cat fights & scene merajuks2 jgn cita laaaaa...adaaaaa...byk jgk ...hahaha...even gado besaq pon ada...  If ada pon dapat settle within 2-3 days if not the day itself...I thank ALLAH for him and I am so grateful to have such a patient husband...

Nways, tho I’ ve said it before to him, i would like to said it again here...

"thanx for that wonderful time in Maldives, Dad"
 
(keeping it short & simple...yg elaborated ones kang muntah hijau plak ampa satgi)

N yes!  I’ ve thanked him like gazillion times already! I am not saying that other vacations that we had before were not special or x best, but among all, trip to Maldives was the best vacation I’ve ever had!


sounds cliche sangat kennnn?!?!

Definitely u will feel that your recent vacay was the best!

Since balik from Maldives haritu, boley katakan everyday (yes tak tipu tak auta ...EVERYDAY) I olls will browse through our Maldives album.Sangat poyos kan... Ye ye kan aje la...
 
Flipping through the pictures and go back to the moment it was captured;
 
owh soooo BLISS! - thats what i felt.....>>>
 
its a PURE RELAXING vacation! >>>
 
distressing my mind & soul!!!!

Maybe jugak at that time i really needed that time off...and this vacation seriously mmg relaxing, no rushing to catch train or bus to premium outlet, no rushing nk pegi that shopping mall... no rush nk cover all the places of interest... it’s just u, ur husband and ur kiddo

The pictures u see in magazines, posters, tv, thats what u will encounter in real life...no editing! no photoshop! seriously! MasyaAllah cantik gilos! And i strongly suggest that if u ada rezeki lebih pegi la with your husband... as it brings out the sexiness in your relationship! Byk plak I olls merepek mukadimah kali ni kan. Cukup2 dah merepek kut...so here goes the details.

Recently I saw pictures in Neelofa ig! She had her sponsored holiday via AirAsia X in Holiday Inn Kandooma, Maldives... owh my oh myyyyyyy! tersangatlah absolutely gorgeous! so chanteksssss kebabom!

To note that, there are thousands of small2 islands in Maldives ni... and yg lg privacy, 1 island tu just for 1 resort ja... Holiday Inn Resort, Kandooma is one of it... so depends on your preference and budget...need to do a lot of survey n research mane yg u olls interested to go to...and most importantly, u olls need to know the transportation how to reach the resort/island... ada tu yg provide speedboat transfer...ada yg by seaplane (which is much more expensive) so gotta  survey in detail lah k.

On our wedding day ( 5 years back) i said to him that I olls teringin sangat nak pg Maldives...But bila buat budget mak aiiii  boleh kahwin lagi sorang Dad said lol…

Lepas tgk Neelofa tu trus la menjalankan tugas meng-survey...compile segala mak nenek cost n present the budgetting to Dad!
 
(tips sebelom nak convince kan husband p, its better if u olls can fwd kat para bapak2  the place u olls  wanna go...tunjuk gambaq yg cantik2 la...or gambaq yg u think that will interest him...n selebih nya pepandai la ampa "gosok2","gesel2"  muahahhahaha)

Confirm husband pon excited nk pergi! Hehehhee n yes, proven working tips to Dad! Mmg excited pakcik tue ok! Sbb dia senirik yang buat flight ticket booking…kah kah kah…seprais la sgt kan …. I olls excited besa2 je...


We took AirAsia X this time around... as thats the cheapest flight to Malé, the capital city of Maldives (male - pronounce as Ma-Lé)... When the AirAsia tetiba suspended their direct route to Male terpaksa la kita org transit flight ke Sri Lankan Airline di Colombo (all the arrangement made by AirAsia at no extra cost sebab dia org punya masalah) time difference from Malaysia with Maldives dlm 3hrs... so touch down male around 19:35 (22:30local time!) so mmg agaks drowsy skets laaaa...hehehe). Kita orang dapat harga murah gila la by AirAsia  X  - RM2368 for 2 adults and 1 kid.

Tho Maldives is a tourist center, tp dia punya airport takde la gempaks sangat pun lupe nak mention that Maldives official religion is ISLAM!. Topless or naked (sun-) bathing are not allowed. Please remember to adapt to the local habits of covering your shoulders when visiting local islands. I read from the review wearing shorts or skirt above your knee is strictly not allowed at the airport but you may wear anything at your resort so not to worry about nak cari halal food etc...  they are very strict in bringing in pork (poultry) & alcohol...so mmg u couldnt find any of those in their city center (Male)...  but to note that those alcohol n pork product in individual resorts are all under license and strict import regulations...

Ok once dah touched down in Male airport - Ibrahim Naser International Airport area where we meet our layover hotel representative...we choose to stay one night in Hulhumale instead of p trus to resort sbb rugi... sampai pon dah malam cam tue..so kalau p Kandooma straight rugi bayaq 1 night stay tapi tak dapat nk enjoy the facility fully for that day...sampai2 ja resort sure tidoq-  penat kan... 
 
Male Airport

This was taken during our departure day

Nampak buildings kaler maler tu la MaleCity
 

We booked NewTown Inn at Hulhumale. Hulhumale located in the same island with the airport. Harga dia $75 per night with breakfast. We olls stay 1 night masa arrival and 1 night before balik Malaysia so total of 2 nights la kat sini. Boley jgk nak stay kat Male city...tp to go to Male city u olls kena naik boat bagai... Hulhumale tak payah...another reason is that the speedboat transfer to Kandooma kena naik at the jetty next to the airport...so kira nya the next day we need to go back to the airport / jetty to board our speedboat... so tadak la nk tergesa2 nk catch boat ride the next day later...  Transfer airport jetty been provided by NewTown Inn at $10 per return trip. Ni la NewTown Inn kat Hulhumale.

NewTown Inn ni takde lift ek... But no worries all the workers sgt prihatin nak tolong u olls hangkut segala luggages pi naik ataih...
 
Ok dh sambung esok2 plak! untuk Part 2 .....giler panjang nie. n we haven’t reached Kandooma pon lagie!!! habis la korang masak bace panjang2. Masa untuk bekerja plak…

Total spent at this moment:
 
Flight : RM2368
NewTown Inn : $75 per night X 2 nights ($150)
Transfer charges : $10 per return trip (airport - hotel / hotel - airport)
