When school holiday approaches, parents would think hard where to bring their children for some quality family time. Guess what, there were two places that I really hated my parents sent me to when I was a kid. First is tuition class. What The Fish, the children are deprived of break time they desire. It’s a child abuse! <\/p>\n

\"Children<\/a>
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Let your children play.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The second place is relative’s house. Usually it ends up like the adults mingling and having a great time among themselves, but leaving me bored to death (unless my favorite cousin is around). <\/p>\n

\"Tempurong<\/a>

Awesome parents will put some thoughts on making their children enjoy hanging out with them, which is important for bonding. Among some popular choices for family vacation are “Jalan-Jalan” (walk around) trip to Kundasang highland, islands off Kota Kinabalu City (KK) or staying in beach resort.<\/p>\n

Tempurong Golden Beach Resort<\/h3>\n

There are a lot of options for a wonderful family trip in other locations. Just for sharing. If you want the trip packed with fun activities in nature, you may consider going south to Kuala Penyu. <\/p>\n

Tempurung means Coconut Shell in Malay. About 200 years ago, the villagers found a coconut shell engraved with holy verses of the Al-Quran on the beach, so they renamed this village from Tanah Merah to Tempurung.<\/p>\n

A study conducted by two PhDs<\/a> found that exposing children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder<\/strong> (ADHD) to “green outdoor activities” reduces symptoms significantly.<\/p>\n

\"Tempurong<\/a>
Tempurong Beach is a few Kilometers long<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The white sandy beach is just next to the resort. Tempurung Beach is not a touristy beach so it is not crowded, your family can have the whole beach most of the time.<\/p>\n

\"Activity<\/a>

The visitors can use the activity hall next to the beach for gathering and group activities.<\/p>\n

Volley ball is one of the great past time activities.<\/p>\n

\"Hammocks<\/a>

Or you can choose to take a nap in hammock. The wind was quite strong at Tempurung Beach during my visit. I didn’t really feel warm.<\/p>\n

\"Camp<\/a>
You can have camp fire at night here<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Camp fire at the beach can bring back a lot of memories. This place is far away from city and free of pollution, so you can see starry sky at night. The resort can prepare BBQ or steamboat dinner for you upon request.<\/p>\n

\"Tempurong<\/a>

Though Tempurung Beach is big, only a dozen houses are built along it. It’s a peaceful and underpopulated village.<\/p>\n
