Run Out

No proper Sunday afternoon should go without taking the kids out, and heavy rain with nowhere to take them to. Well, that was what happened yesterday. So much for a Sunday afternoon eh?

Idlan has exams coming up tomorrow, and we wanted him to go out for some fresh air. Initially we set out to Pavilion for lunch, but it was packed. I was not able to get a parking spot. We turned back. And headed out to Solaris instead.

Lunch was at B.I.G. A nice simple one. But as long as we had pizza, we were OK. Pizza and salad. And hot coffee. Anita and myself had our lunch earlier.

By the time lunch was done, the rain subsided. A quick rush to Tasik Perdana and off we set out to the park. It only lasted about 20 minutes before the sky turned dark again. We made it back to the van just in time before it started pouring again. But the 20 minutes might just be enough as the place was empty. They had the chance to play with the swings and things. No need to wait for anything.

So, we reached home by about 5. The day was still early but decided to turn in early with the exams on Monday. Went to bed extra early and when I got up this morning at 6, the boys were already waking up. A good start for the week. Happy Monday all.

Kid's E World

The boys were craving to go to the park but the weather was too hot and it was only 3 pm. We were at Mid Valley Gardens and we decided to give Kid's E-World on the top floor a go.

The place had been open since last year but we never got around to try it. Entrance fee was rather steep at RM50 per head, plus the boys had to pay for the socks. Parents get in free of course but you had to purchase socks if you were not wearing one.

A quick drinks while the boys were creating havocThey made it quite clearThe boys doing the plottingThe place was actually bigger than it looked from the outside and true to the amount you paid for entrance, the facilities there were very well maintained. The toilets were clean and children friendly. They also had a small cafe for snacks. Nice open space for the children to roam around but it would soon get too crowded as they had separate area for toddlers and older children.

Quite a decent area to sit inA quick chargeThe waiting area for parents were quite comfortable. The entrance fee was good for the whole day, so you could come in and out as many times as you wanted to. Handy! I was not sure if they had a drop in service but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

With such a high entrance fee, I couldn't help but to feel that the place should offer more. My kids enjoyed it however and that was the main thing. As long as I had a bean bag, I wouldn't be complaining either. Oh! And did I mention about the free wifi? Hehehe! Win!

I also taken a short video,uploaded to Youtube here.

A Day as a Driver

Today was spent being a driver. Idlan was at the Lego camp and Anita was right next door at Bangsar Village II for a facial. We timed it so that both went on at the same time, but I thought Anita overdid it a bit this week. The facial took a good 3 hours almost. I was sure she was talked into having extra treatment. By the time she was done, Idlan was right grumpy.

Idlan made a crane at the camp today and from the way he described it, he was having a great time. The camp, as he liked to call it was on the second floor of Village II. He went there for an hour and a half each Saturday. Each trip offered different activities, and today he made himself a crane, complete with gears and pulleys. No electronic motors this week. Irfan on the other hand refused to go. He pointed out that the class was only for those already in primary School. Missing out on all the fun I supposed.

Idlan was ready to goNext, I would have to drive to Pasar Ramadhan. And that I didn't mind.
