On the LNY itself thursday off we drove in the early morning towards Desaru for a day trip.  Original plan was Airpapan, mersing but the flood news drown this route. 

We checked out Lotus Resort which was the new management for the old Impian theme park resort.  Same disney-like buildings and trams but the amusement parks and mini zoo were no more available, too bad. 

Here we rested at the beach front enjoying the sea breeze while the 2 small kids playing catching with the waves of the choppy water.  Next destination was to Tanjung Balau the fishing village, and it was here that we load up 2 big bags of white sand for our landscaping.  Pure white sandy sand foc bring your own shovel.
We had our lunch at sungai rengit medan selera digging into their famous asam pedas.  On to a learning journey we detoured to Johor Lama to visit the old Johor kubu and the small village overlooking the still on construction of Pasir Gudang - Desaru highway.

So what did we do with the white sand? stay tune to next posting
