Could not believe it, the last time we went was with JJ a year plus ago when tong was almost turning 4. Then, tong just hit the height limit to go on the rides and we were all so excited for him. Now, he was way beyond the minimum height for most heights, with jie jie almost reaching the height to go on rides alone without the need of the presence of an adult!
yup, still recalled jie, tong and JJ raced on this track together then. Now, only tong could go on this as jie had to go to the other one meant for 6 years old and above. Ha, these cars were rather s-l-o-w...unlike the bumper cars they had been used to
According to papa, jie found the guy in front too slow, so she actually overtook him at a bend...alas, did she inherit papa's irascible driving habit?
taking a breather while we waited for tong to complete his snail course
how heavenly, it was an almost empty park, so we needed not wait long for our turns. Alas, adult supervision was required so papa had to go twice
but come next year, jie would probably be above 120cm, which meant she could take rides alone
what's with the bitter smile? ha
oh no, shark attack
tong was into this dinosaur phase, he would borrow many books on dinosaurs from the same shelf at the Bukit Panjang Library. It was the same few common dinosaurs, so I must have read 1001 books on T-rex, stegosaurus and triceratops.
taking the train ride to go around the theme park
just after the train ride, we sauntered past this new attraction and the show was just about to start! a NEW FEATURE.
I enjoyed the show! About an Ying-Yang dragon who could be a dragon of the Light or a dragon of the Darkness depending on whom bred it... was a tad scary at some points with the spooky dark bats' shadows and maniacal laughter from the evil character...well...I thought the kids still enjoyed it
and of course, papa and the kids went for the fire engine ride
oh we bought the annual pass as it made sense to come in often now that the kids were big enough to enjoy rides...and shopping and eating in Malaysia on a weekday was easy and fun!
Aeroplane ride
admiring the miniature models
we realized that there was actually a look-out spot when we espied someone else doing it
was kind of cool
tong pretending to be a howling wild wolf
and it started raining cats and dogs after lunch...what a pity, the outdoor rides were all closed
sought shelter and waited for the storm to pass
papa and his adorable munchkin
ambled through the mall
just 1ringgit to play on this joy ride...the exchange was 2.87 to $1, oooooooo
on the way to the mall, we set off rather early
Ah, it was just a short distance away
our favourite family pastime - grocery shopping
the tykes were so exhausted that they actually dozed off in the trolley
well, we wanted to buy the brand of chocolate milk which they liked but could not find any. We stocked up on jun's diapers though
Went to shop at Brands Outlets and jie bought 3 leggings, 3 tops, tong bought 3 tops, papa bought 2 polo- tees and one shirt, all really charming clothes and they came up to under s$100! papa's eyes twinkled when he signed on the bill. ha...
went to eat at a seafood restaurant and we headed home...oh, it was a breeze, there was nary a congestion anywhere...and soon we were back in our beloved home. AH, we should plan for another road trip to Malaysia again!
