Although it had only been 3 months, Daddy Lim and I were dying for a holidays. Finally it is D day!
The plan was to wake up at 4am and out of the house at 4.30am. The 8-hour to Port Dickson during CNY was still fresh in our mind. We can't be so suay, right?
Zaky was cooperative and sprung out of bed. Lil Shauna, in her usual "weekday wake up early for school" fashion, asked for 5 more minutes. So funny.
By 4.45am, we were "almost" out of the house, waiting for Daddy Lim to complete his bowel cleaning rituals.
Looking good and ready to go!
We were crossing our fingers and toes upon closing on the custom. No jam at all! We were in Malaysia in less than 30 mins. Woohoo! How cool is that?
With the trusted GPS, we were on our way. A small problem though, it was challenging to drive in the dark when there were many parts of the expressway without street lights. Daddy Lim didn't dare to drive too fast, keeping to the speed limit. I was equally stressed even as a passenger. We saw quite some Malaysian cars overtaking us at great speed even in those conditions. Initial D in the making.
Daylight was very much welcome. Good morning Malaysia!
We made 1 pitstop for bfast and along the way, was accompanied by a beautiful rainbow. Can you spot it?
After 4 hours on the road, we spotted KLCC.
We were excited bcos it means that our hotel is super near. Hehe.
We asked Uncle C to recommend a hotel that is easily reachable since it is our 1st time driving to KL. He recommended Grand Hyatt, singing it's praise. We chose Hotel Impiana instead, right across Grand Hyatt and at half the price. Haha. Grand Hyatt is really good. How do we know? We looked out of our hotel window and can see Grand Hyatt's magnificent pool every time. Lol. See the difference between Grand Hyatt's pool and ours on the left.
The room was ready for checkin upon arrival. We left our luggage and headed to the 1st destination - Farm in the City. I Google about it and was a highly recommended venue for families. Though we have the trusty GPS, we opted for taxi instead.
We found that Farm in the City is actually in Selangor and the taxi cost us about RM70. The kids took a much needed cat nap on the way.
We paid RM116 for the family package and was greeted by an eagle, who is undergoing training. I am not sure what it is training for. Maybe to sit quietly perched on the branch?
The 1st stop - the turtles! Free roaming turtles! The staff gave us vegetables to feed the turtles.
There were babies too. The turtles were definitely much better treated than the ones we saw in Bali's Turtle Island.
Next was an enclosure with free roaming birds. We were given bird feeds upon entry and were so surprised that the birds would feed from the hand!
Lil Shauna was eager to try and was so happy when the same happened.
Zaky wanted to try too but no birds wanted his mini hand until suddenly he attracted a super big bird!
Lil Shauna even had a bird on her shoulder!
Next, hay eating animals!
Somebody wanted a hamster? We had rabbits and guinea pigs!
The kids wanted to try long kang fishing but it was so tough.
The parents took the opportunity to take a rest while the kids poured bucket of sweat trying to catch the little fishes. Selfie time!
The free roaming enclosures are so good. We also had fed the squirrels.
This monkey lookalike thing bit Lil Shauna when she tried feeding it.
Owl!
Creepy crawlers!
The chicks attracted us for a long time. These little things were so cute! We spent so much time cuddling these things.
The last stop was the horse rides.
We spent a good 3 hours at the farm. It was fantastic! The kids had so much fun, seen and touched so many animals that they wouldn't in Singapore. It was definitely worth the entrance fees.
