Super Short Break Austin Heights Day 2 Part 2: Escape Room and Rocky Basecamp

We had other agenda planned for the afternoon. I like that bcos water play is just so much hard work. Think about the hot sun, the lugging of float up the many flight of stairs.

Stop 2 of the day was the escape room. My SIL found an escape room near to the waterpark and made a reservation online for the Doraemo-theme room at 4.30pm. The theme was super apt and friendly for the kids and Lil Shauna was just recently watching Doraemo online, in Chinese somemore!

It was the Fs' 1st escape room experience. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The kids solved some of the puzzle and were eager to try and help. Did we escape? Of course! It was a simple room.

We headed to the mall to meet up with Popo and the 1st F. It was drizzling anf 2 mushroom heads with too small tummy baring shirt miraculously appeared out of nowhere.

I had requested for this picture.

My shorts were new bcos I forgot to bring a pair from Singapore. I just bought the T-shirt from the waterpark bcos I forgot to bring a top to change. Hahaha. Yes, I forgot to bring my brain for the trip.

Popo and F looked like they had a great time at the movie, snacking and shopping. We had dinner at a 茶餐厅. It was Singapore price but in RM. No wonder Singaporeans flocked to JB.

The younger kids headed back to Rocky Basecamp. The adults took turns to supervise them. Where did they find those energy?

It was in this 2nd trip that the kids were told that they could collect these "coupons" that were hanging on the walls in exchange for goody bags. They had to scale all the walls to collect the different coupons to exchange for 1 goody bag. It sure was a motivating factor. The stronger climbers had to scale more walls; the girls had to rely on Zaky for a particular beanstalk walk and he conquered that 4 times to claim 4 coupons. It was something about jumping from point to point on the wall that the 2Fs couldnt do and the need to climb from left to right that Lil Shauna couldnt do. Rare times that Zaky comes in useful and it dawned on me that such occasions would become more frequent as he grows bigger and stronger as the only boy among the cousins.

Coupons all claimed!

The kids had sore hands and blisters but nobody complain much.

Their goody bags - the result of their hard work.

The kids were disappointed to only find a towel and a bottle of water in the goody bag. Lol. I thought it was so apt and useful after all the climbs. The goody bags are packed for mummies lah.

Sleep was so easy that night after waterplay, escape room and rock climbing. I was surprised that the kids made it back to the airbnb awake. Good night.
