Short trip to Hello Kitty land , Legoland & Big Little Club

This year end, we decided to bring Cayen and my parents for a short trip to JB as we found a car charter that would take us (4 adults + 1 kid)  across in 1.5 hour at $80 one way. 

Went to Hello kitty labd and Big Little Club that were all indoor amusement park in one building right besides Puteri Trader Hotel (5 min away from Legoland) and a fraction of Legoland hotel prices apparently. 

Cayen totally enjoyed himself judging by how he kept on wanting to go on the Hello Kitty teapot and cups ride , make a cookie , and take the Thomas the Chu Chu train .. It was also quite funny how he chased after Badz Badz  Maru to try to touch him and danced to Barney he Dino's performance .. (For a long while, he thought he's going to watch some Bunny)

However, as the place was very small, there was nothing to do by 6pm after the park closed but to eat. And so we did. 

The next day, we had initially wanted to visit only the Legoland water park but tickets was something like 110 for that or 180 for Legoland main park which was much bigger. Since we had one more day but nothing much to do, we decided to visit both sections anyway. 

The water theme parks was quite interesting with many slides but everyone didn't dare or didn't want to try so I ended up being the only one to try some of the higher slides. The rest camped with Cayen in the more tolddler friendly pools, like the flowing stream , the pool with Man made waves and wade pool. 

Legoland was pretty much the same as what existed one year ago but there's one more Star Wars attraction which I thought was so-so since I'm no Star Wars fan but Cayen had a ball pressing all the green blinking buttons to set some motion going.

By night, we had nothing to do so decided to try this Malaysian food cafe for some local fare. Unfortunately, most dishes were not good and Da had to pack some Chinese takeaway thereafter  to make up for the disappointing meal. Cayen had the chance to try some sushi too.

Overall, I think it's a great trip for young kids as they could really identify with the activities, rides and performances. However, there really isn't that much to do in that area and not many shops as well so suggest a 2 day 1 night stay at most. Arrive at 10am on day 1 to cover either Legoland (water and main park), day 2 to cover the indoor parks and ca depart by evening. That will be the most optimal given the lack of much food or Retail options for the time being.

Nurturing creativity

We went for curriculum updates last week for Cayson and the week before for Cayen. Bumped into the English teacher who told me that Cayen eats his lunch very well including vegetables (doesn't sound like him at all). She also mentioned that Cayen likes to test boundary. Recent case in point , teacher would ask the children to not talk in the toilet as it could be noisy for the children in the adjacent classroom. As he wasn't allowed to talk, he purposely started singing instead. Then our discussion was cut short and I wondered how the teacher responded to his singing eventually.  Nonetheless , this is one of the many instances where Cayen would not do things the conventional way. In Cantonese, I might even call him "Seng Mok" (savvy). For instance , previously , he was spotted sipping lime cordial juice on a plate -he has helped himself at the dispenser without my knowledge . One would have usually told him off but I decided to ask him why he did that. He said that he

Feedback from teachers

As part of the regular meet the parent session, I joined Cayson to make ice cream. Think I must be the only one who managed to tear two plastics bags in a row due to vigorous shaking. It’s good fun as Cayson tried his hand at making ice cream from Meiji strawberry milk.  Teacher’s feedback on him is still good as usual as he’s still quite an obedient and easy going kid though she did remark that he’s picky with some food like vegetables now. And whilst he’s 99% agreeable in the past, he’s been more prone to his own opinion (I read it as trying to get his way). And sometimes he followed his classmates’ action of scribbling away randomly during colouring when he used to colour carefully within the lines. Observations were quite in line with what we see at home. Recently he would cry when he doesn’t get his way. For instance, we were playing snakes and ladders and he started crying when I made him slide down when he hit a snake. He kept screaming “I want to win”. Later on, he proceeded to

Top 12 Tips during Confinement - revised edition (2017)

This is dedicated to my dear friends who are expecting their bundle of joy very soon. Being a hassle-free type of mother who needs to go back to work after maternity leave, and also one who likes a good bargain, these are the things I personally find very useful, practical & cost saving. 1. A good breastfeeding pillow  - my Brestfriend  For some strange reason, I didn't see the need to invest in this initially. But this has to be the top 1 or 2 items I cannot live without during the first few months. No matter how I positioned the normal pillows, I just couldn't get the right positioning without straining my shoulders/ back. So yes, this is first on the list. Anyway, if your milk production is low, try papaya with fish soup and remember to drink lots of water. If all else fails, you still can try to take some herbal medicine before resorting to Formula Milk. This herbal supplement improved production by 30-50%. I only took it when baby was having gro
