Zaky is 7: JB Day 3 - Home Sweet Home

My brother's family had to depart after bfast. We had to check out before noon and decided to leave about the same time too.

It was the same routine; we stayed in the house waiting to be fed while my brother and SIL taobaoed food for us. They are the foodie to look for good food while we happily waited for whatever that they brought back to fill our tummy.

The kids were disappointed that our holiday was ending so quickly. What disappointed them more was the homework waiting for them back home. Lol.

The custom was a breeze. Yeah! There was a slight wait at the Singapore side but we made it home in less than 30 mins. Our 1st airbnb holiday concluded in success. The house was huge, nice and clean and everything went smoothly. Nice.

Home Sweet Home! This was way too short. When is the real one? Haha.

Zaky is 7: JB Day 2 - Lazing Around

We drove to the Airbnb after dinner. As indicated by the owner, the airbnb is about 10 mins' drive from Legoland.

It was self check-in. There were 2 number padlocks, one on the main metal gate and the other one on the door metal gate. The door is another digital number lock. We followed the instructions and got in easily.

The house was huge! Daddy Lim said that the living room on its own is probably the size of Centris.

The kids hurriedly explored the house and decide who sleeps where. My job was to lay out all the snacks.

It didn't take long for my brother's family to arrive with Popo. They had no jam at all at the custom. The kids spent the rest of the night running around the house playing. Sleep was so easy for the kids after a day baking in the sun and soaking in the water.

I didn't have a good night and woke up at about 6.45am. I wanted some peaceful and quiet time with my coffee but it didn't last long before the little boy joined me. Soon after, the Wii was playing. Zzzzz. The sound woke the rest and soon the house was alive. Haha.

It was supposed to be shopping day. We lazed around, had bfast before we finally head out to Aeon Mall, which is 5 mins away.

The girls planned to be in their "uniform".

The 1st stop was definitely the arcard before we had lunch.. again. It was definitely a get fat trip.

The boy got bored really quickly once we got out of the arcade and kept asking to go back to the house. We parted ways and headed back 1st, leaving Lil Shauna with the rest to do more shopping bcos she wanted to be with the 3Fs.

Zaky was supposed to rest bcos he had been whinning about being tired. Ended up, he spent the whole time watching YouTube. Somebody else napped instead.

I dozed off too and when I finally managed to convince the boy that he should take a little nap, the girls came back. Zzz. He was off running around again.

Lil Shauna was exhausted and laid down on the floor for a rest. It was so funny; like an accident scene.

After more running around and more snacks, we headed out for chinese dinner.

Then, the tiredness overwhelmed the boy. He was perspiring and all but still sleeping very well. He was carried into the car but promptly woke up. Chey, he was rock heavy.

Once back, it was another round of running and playing. I wonder where they find their energy.

I went to bed earlier and nobody missed me. Haha. Apparently there were too much fun going around.

Zaky is 7: JB Day 1- Legoland Water Park

Zaky said that he wanted a bday party at the trampoline park. Fortunately, I managed to lure him with Legoland plus 2 nights' stay. Muahahaha. Bcos parties are a pain. 

We invited my brother's family and with their help, we found a huge airbnb place that can house up to 12 pax. They can only join us in the night but it didnt dampen the kids' spirit. They were so looking forward to the holiday. The only catch is that they have to agree to do their homework during that holiday bcos exams start right after we are home. Zaky laments that he is born during the exam period. Too sad, too bad. 

Bcos we were to set off for Legoland on early Saturday morning, we celebrated Zaky's bday earlier on Friday night. We had ice cream after their Chinese classes. He asked for the Couple Fondue.

Yummy!

The aim was to leave the house at 8am this morning in case of custom jam. I found time to do the long forgotten treadmill. Feeling all good for the holiday!

We set off on time for bfast. The traffic was slightly slow at the Singapore immigration but still very much a breeze.

The Malaysia custom was a huge pain; we were stuck at the custom for almost 1.5hr.

We arrived at Legoland at about 11am. The kids had asked to go to the Water Park instead bcos we had never been there.

We didn't buy the tickets online in advance despite attractive discounts bcos we were worried about rain. Trying our luck, we told the ticketing staff that it was the boy's bday and he actually got a complimentary ticket! We paid RM335 for our family.

We were also told that a part of the Water Park was closed including the Lego bricks lazy river but we decided to proceed. The Water Park is small and even smaller now that part of it was closed. It is probably half the size of Sunway Lagoon. The adults grew bored very quickly but water and kids is an amazing combo and the kids had so much fun despite the limited rides. The rides are also a lot tamer than those in Sunway Lagoon.

We spent about 4 hours in the Water Park. The last part, the kids were soaking in the wave pool and Daddy Lim was snoozing. I also almost dozed off. We didn't have any picture of the rides but at least took pictures before we left.

The ticketing staff told us earlier that the bday boy would get a surprise for his bday. We made our way back to Legoland ticketing counter. Surprised!

We had dinner at the mall. Before that, it was hoverboard time.

The bday boy still got his bday cake eventually. Happy bday Zaky! I can't believe that you are 7; you were just  baby a while ago. Continue to grow healthily and God bless you. We love You loads!

By the way, he made Daddy Lim lit the candle 2 more times so that he can make 2 more wishes. Lol. He asked for a hamster, a dog and a hoverboard. Hahaha.
