Our Pre-Minimoon

The next day, right after our ROM, É and I embarked on a 2-week trip taking his parents around to seek the beauty that is Malaysia. While I’ve been to the 3 states namely Langkawi, Penang and Sarawak countless times, I was thrilled by the different experiences gained while traveling with my in-laws; who were extremely curious, full of passion and adventurous. Here are 15 of my favorite moments from our very well-balanced excursion; encapsulating glamorous sunsets around heritage towns, surrounded by buzzing wildlife and (heaps of) fresh seafood.

{Our bewitching stay at The Datai, Langkawi}

{This dip in calm water when misty skies turned dusty pink}

{This sunset where the axis of sky and sea melts together and all you see is nothing but beauty}

{My colorful scarf + anklet paired with a lacy white romper – post-ROM theme on point!}

{My cute and curious new family members who made me laughed a lot}

{Our enchanting stay at The Blue Mansion}

{Two mums, hand-in-hand under one umbrella}

{This delicious charcoal steamboat that spelled reunion}

{As newly weds we got the best room of the whole lot}

{This shot because a smily aunty thought I looked too elegant (ehem!) so she insisted to take a picture of me with this backdrop, and this pose was her idea}

{This cool looking piece of charcoal}

{Our smokey tour to the charcoal factory at Kuala Sepetang}

{Me in a bun; half-candid, half not, almost camouflaged beneath violet dusk}

{Revisiting good ol’ Sarawakian flavors in bowls of slurp-y noodles}

{This winning sunset we traveled into on a boat ride at Santubong}
