Legoland Again!

Teacher Raymond was not available for class and mummy's antena started sourcing for activities to fill our Saturday.  Coincidentally, it was the 1st day of the March school holiday. Of course we must do something big to commensurate the occasion. Haha, any excuse for something fun and BIG. Let's go Legoland.

Our last trip was more than a year back when ah yee and C were in town. Then, we were at Legoland way too early and spent a long time waiting for the park to open with bored kids. This time, we strategised for bfast in Singapore before heading in only to learn that there was a massive jam at the 2nd link. Zzzzzz.

We spent an hour clearing the Singapore custom.

We exchanged Popo for Felicia and I think the wait for the kids was slightly less painful.

We were hoping that the Malaysia custom would be a breeze. Fat hope. It was another 1 over hour wait in the car crawl. It was so painful. Why were there so many other cars going to Malaysia?

It was already noon when we finally reached Legoland. The car park was surprising empty, which also meant that the park was empty. I like.

There was almost no Q to the rides. The weather was tolerable too.

The heat was a little too much and we hid in the air con lego car workshop. The kids had a blast.

Did you spot what were the parents doing? Let me give you a closeup...

Don't play, play. It took years of training to build this foundation and be able to sleep anytime, anywhere.

It started raining when we left the workshop and we decided to have a late lunch. Nobody complained of hunger anyway bcos of the huge amount of snacks we had in the car while stuck in the jam and Popo brought our entire fridge from home for the trip. The timing was perfect and the rain stopped when lunch was done. The rain did fantastic in cooling the weather.

We caught the new ride too. It was good. The best part was the Q; we barely waited 15 mins.

We took a few more rides and it was nearing the time to go. We past by the Flume ride and I was reminded how wet we all got when we rode it with ah yee and C a year back. Hohoho.

I remembered ah yee asking me if we would get wet while q-ing. I had never taken the ride but confidently told her that we wouldn't. We ended up soaked to our underwear. Lol.

To end off the trip, the kids went to drive some lego cars.

Zaky was some bad ass driver who tried an illegal u turn and got stuck. Lol.

We left the park at almost 7pm. Jump shots to complete the trip.

Dinner was at our favorite korean bbq place.

You could tell that the boy was hungry from all the fun right. Lol. He had a big portion of the bbq chicken.

We finally reached the custom at 9ish and thankfully, it was a breeze. Phew. It was a great trip. The kids had fun; they always do with the 3Fs.

Legoland before C Flew

Backdated post.

Time seems to fly by. Ah yee and C came. I didn't remember seeing much of them and C left for home on Sunday. C should be happy to go home to an extent; the kids had been bugging him so much. Lol.

I am glad that we had the chance to have lunches with them on our own. We visited the zoo with them and also Legoland, on the Saturday before C flown home.

We set off for Legoland with my brother’s family at 8am in the morning, hoping to beat the traffic and we did. The custom was almost empty. It was so refreshing as compared to our Port Dickson experience.

We arrived at Legoland at 9am and most of the shops were closed.

Legoland opens at 10am. However, the kids are always great when they have the 3Fs for companion. They found an earthworm and had such a time marveling at God’s creation. Look at the picture, all so posey. Lol.

We were glad that the weather couldn't be more wonderful. The rain had just stopped and the sky was cloudy – perfect for a theme park advantage. There was some rain in the day but stopped quickly and didn't damper our spirit. More wonderfully, the theme park was not crowded. There was barely a q for almost all the rides. For some of the rides like the roller coaster, we could even go a few times continuously without having to return to the q.

The kids had a wonderful time. I had a great time too; I love theme parks. There aren’t too many thrilling rides in Legoland though.

C was very game to take some very "young" rides that none of us were keen. Look how excited he was. Hehe, kena sabo.

The most “interesting” must be the flume bcos the adults were drenched right down to our underwear, while the kids were protected by the raincoats. The adults walked around the theme park in our wet clothes, hoping to air dried them before we depart for the day.

We completed Legoland by 4pm and even took 2nd round for some rides bcos the park was fairly empty. Lil Shauna and Lil Isaac said that they love the roller coaster the most.

Lil Isaac spent a long time making lego cars too and kept asking to go back. It is probably a boys thing.

We then headed to the Korean BBQ restaurant opposite Aeon for dinner. It was a great dinner with the family squeezing round the table, feasting on a lot of food. Ok, not so great for my diet plan that flew out of the window EVERY weekend. Zzzzz.

How come Lil Isaac is not in the picture? He knocked out already. Lol. Feline knocked out while we were still in the park. Lil Isaac lasted a little longer but happily napped in the car without struggle when I suggested.

Then we walked in Aeon to try to burn some time, departing only at 9pm, hoping again for empty custom. We had to introduce the Ah Tioh C the ice cream that we indulged every time we visit Aeon.

Apparently we burnt out on the luck and were stuck in the Malaysian custom for at least an hour. The Singapore custom was a breeze. I cannot appreciate enough how efficient Singapore is. We arrived home late but it is definitely worth it in exchange of the fun we had.

We had a family dinner again on Sunday, right before C had to depart for the airport. The absence wouldn't be that long. We shall visit them at the end of the year and it would then be our turn to ransack their house. Hohoho.

LegoLand

We didn't plan for an overseas holiday during the March holiday this year and I am glad that we stayed. This is the peak period at work and I had a mad rush last year before we flew to HKG. This year, I was actually busier. Heng ah. However, it is still the school holidays and to make the kids happy, we decided to at least cross the causeway and head to Legoland. We dated my brother's family and the kids were thrilled.

The kids woke up bright and early at 7ish.

We met on Friday morning, 8.30am and the custom was a breeze.

It didn't take that long for us to reach Legoland. However, it did take forever for our bfast to be served. The change in service standard always take some getting used to after crossing the causeway. Lol. But our mood wasn't dampened.

Our 1st casualty of the day.

Legoland, here we come!

The weather forecast said that there would be rain but our umbrellas were use only to shield the sun. It wasn't exactly a sunny day. It was hazy and as such, the sun was for most part covered. However, it was still warm and very humid. We were perspiring buckets and sticky throughout the day.

It had been a long time since we last visited the legoland. Then, the park was fairly new and it was super crowded. We didn't have time to take all the rides then. Yday's legoland was not crowded. The maximum waiting time was about 5 mins and we took many rides that we didn't get to try the last time.

When the weather got too punishing, we couldn't be gladder for indoor rides.

There was also this air conditioned room filled with Lego pieces. Kids get to build their racing car and race their racing car. The parents loved the air con. Muahahaha.

We took all the rides that the kids wanted including the huge roller coaster. The crowd was thinning by then and the staff allowed us to take the roller coaster continuously for 3 rounds!

Lil Isaac wanted to drive the car so much and got his wishes fulfilled too.

We left the park at almost 7pm when it was closing and had dinner outside the park before heading home.

We had thought that the custom would be clear on a Friday night but was met with a jam. We were struck for an hour at least. Lil Isaac fell asleep after dinner and slept all the way home. He woke up for shower and then went back to sleep until this morning. This tells you how tired we all were. Lol.

Legoland would be fantastic if it wasn't for the punishing weather. Still, we all had loads of fun.
 I couldn't speak for Daddy Lim but enjoyed myself tremendously with the kids. Hehe. I love theme park and loved spending time with my family. Muaks.
