KL Day 3: Sunway Lagoon

By Day 3, nobody cares about the alarm clock anymore. Nevertheless, we woke up early enough to be on time for Sunway Lagoon! The kids had been looking forward to SL ever since it was advertised on Nickelodeon; something about Nickelodeon theme park.

Luggage, packed. GPS, set. We went on our way after bfast. All ready to go!


The roads in KL city were challenging even with the GPS. At times, we wondered if we took the right side of the split roads. The directions on the GPS looked complicated and the English pronuciation of Malay road name made it worse. There were a few of such scares but it worked out very fine. It was a good choice to choose taxi over driving for the last 2 days. Without a hitch, we were on the expressway and on our way to SL!

The kids grew more and more excited and less and less patience as we neared SL. We had to warn them to behave a few times but who could blame them?

We booked a night at the Sunway Pyramid West Hotel and it turned out to be a fairly new and big hotel. We added on a bed on top of the huge king size bed. We bought a package that comes with 2 adults and 2 children tickets. It was slightly cheaper as compared to booking them separately. We didn't enjoy the room for long before we headed to SL. Who cares about the room or bed when SL is calling?

SL was less than 5 mins walk from the hotel.


We visited the land theme park 1st. It wasn't big. The main attraction is the water theme park after all. These are only pictures that we had as the phones were kept in the locker thereafter. The locker can be opened and closed unlimited times. There was no worry about forgetting items just that the park is big and locker could be far away.




This ride was good. It was like a huge slide!


I had wished that the land theme park was bigger bcos I don't really fancy water pouring over my head or crazy slides that made my butt pain and head dizzy. I ended up enjoying the water rides very much.

The water theme park didn't start very well though. We almost took this "ghost buster show", only to escape the very last minute bcos it was actually a scream park where we had to walk through this 20 mins haunted house with zombies scaring us. My heart can take roller coaster but not this shit lah. I can imagine Zaky crying all the way too. We then went for this 5D ride that got us very wet. It was a rapid show but it just felt like they were trying to throw water at us at every opportunity. Oh well, the water was welcoming given how hot the weather was.

The map was ruined after the ride. The map didn't help much anyway. The rides were positioned in such a way that one entrance leads to different rides. We got used to the concept after a while. The fun started after the 5D show.

The only down was the need to lug big float for many of the rides. I envied so many of the girls who went to the theme park with their boyfriend and saw the boyfriends lugging the float. There I was lugging and puffing away for my kids. Poor me. My arms! But those were also the fun rides; so many of them felt like roller coasters and it also mean that I dont have to hurt my delicate butt. Woohoo! Some rides we even went 2x. There was not much q most of the time. The most popular ride required 45 mins queuing and got the kids very bored and quarrelsome. The ride was not worth the wait and pain.

The water play got us very hungry.  The park was promoting this cashless system and loading credits into the wrist tag. We eloaded RM50 only to realise that not all the snack shops accept the ecredits and RM50 cannot get us a lot of food but we survived until we got back to the locker for more money.

By the time we made it back to the locker, it was almost to the end of the trip. We rewarded ourselves with a big candy floss that disappeared into our tummies at lightning speed.
The very tired us heading back to the hotel.


We did find the last bit of strength to go to the huge Pyramid Shopping mall for dinner. There were plenty of eateries but we went to the 1st decent one bcos the kids looked like they couldn't walk much anymore.

After dinner, Daddy Lim insisted to shop and got this cap. I thought it looks good on me again. Muahahaha.
We found this Hello Kitty cafe and spurged on some cakes and coffees. It wasn't that amazing a cafe but still didn't stop my camera from clicking away.



The cake and coffee looked nice!

The kids needed to be piggybacked to the hotel room. Sleep was so easy. Before 9pm, they were both in lala land.
