TRAV N BOOK : H2. Splashing Swiss-Garden Resorts Damai Laut

COMING SOON. The Splashing Swiss-Garden Damai Laut.

That is the title of our new movie, to be released soon.

After that failed attempt to climb the Teluk Intan leaning tower, we continued our journey to The Swiss-Garden Golf Resorts and Spa Damai Laut. Isn't it rather a long name? Just call it Swiss-Garden la. It is unfortunately not located at Switzerland, but at Damai Laut, near Lumut.

The distance between Damai Laut and Lumut is about 25 km and a normal driving will require about 30 minutes, but we took a straight route from Setiawan at the Seri Manjung towards Damai Laut so the distance from this junction is about 20 km.

Paddy field at Setiawan

Lumut port

Obviously we drove further away from Lumut, passing through Seri Manjung where you will see big Aeon Shopping Complex followed by the Lumut Port on the left. From this point it will be a drive through oil palm estate, through what it seems like hundred of speed bumps towards the sea and will arrive at the resort wondering why they have to build the resort here.

Happy face or not.

View from the lobby. Pangkor Island at the background.

As we reached the lobby, those tired and unhappy faces have turned to completely happy and anxious. I know what these guys are thinking when they look at the swimming pool. Somehow, let's check our rooms first.

Here comes the actors.

Why they have to show that Liverpool match again.

View from our room.

Basketball court.

Wait a minute! I could see some guys are playing basketball. They look familiar........OMG those are our guys. Didn't I say check the rooms first? How can they be so fast? Where did they got the ball from?

Obviously we are always one step behind. Now I know why they grinned earlier.

Basketball in sunglasses. Is this a new trend?

As for the rest of us, after a short rest, we look and shoot so many beautiful scenery around the resort. We have no complaints about the scenery, just that the bugging flies are too many.

I heard the flies are due to the chicken farms that are located nearby, but I didn't see any of those farms.

Somehow, do enjoy the photos.

Just outside our room, looking at the restaurant building.

Master piece.

We checked the swimming pool too. The pool has two sections so I figure maybe we can occupy the smaller one. But.........

Oh no they are back from the basketball already. They have to be our competitors now, not in basketball of course.

SPLASHING 1. The Water polo.

Headcount now, oo not even ha. Four against Three, not fair. Ahaaa there is a kid crossing our path now, he can be the keeper for the other team.

Hei kid, be our keeper?

Game start.

Muiz tried a curling shot, based on what is written on his T shirt.

But it goes out. The lady goalie might have bribed the shooter.

Time to counter attack.

Have we reached Guatemala? Why so many rocks.

Sorry can't score. Adzim using his advantage fully. Keeper kid, why are you here?

Naim in a hurry to score.

But, where is that goalie kid?

Goalie replaced, but Muiz has his antique.

Penalty for using that antique. Is it a goal? Is it? You guess it.

Suddenly it is time for sunset photography. No clear winner for that walking water polo. But since the title of this movie is splashing, we must have another splashing before we end with the sunset photos.

SPLASHING 2. The Jacuzzi.

Scene from Happy Together.

After that tiring running water polo, we dried ourselves in the sauna. As if Lumut is not hot enough, we figure sauna is a waste of time so we are still thinking about the splash. We quickly dashed to the jacuzzi to discuss about some business matters.

So inviting.

Where are the rest?

We need one more to start business talk. Hahahaha...

"Now we have enough" said the tycoon leader in the middle. Hahahahahaha.......

We are not joking, we talked about haahahaha.... I have the video proof, taken by a papparazi. Watch.

The perfect sunset.

Is there such a thing as imperfect sunset? What I really mean is, at the beach, the sun seems to touch the water's edge so taking photos at this time will produce amazing results.

Luckily we have some creative photographers in our team with jump shot and all, so they are really great. The location is at the beach next to the barbeque hut.
