Easter Sunday

The holy week is over. What did you do the whole week? Me? I chose not to go anywhere and to stay in the house. I asked my husband if he wanted to go swimming on Easter Sunday and he said yes. We chose to swim in the same resort where we used to swim when we were still dating.

It was a 45 minutes drive from our place. We planned to go early but we left the house at 9! Jaden donned his cute outfit.

Unfortunately, he threw up some of his breakfast in the car :(

It was very crowded when we got there, mostly kids because they held an Easter Egg hunt. The resort has three (3) pools. One small round pool for babies, one for children with three slides (small, medium and zigzag) and one for adults. In normal days, the place has a few tables under large umbrellas but because it is Easter Sunday they added large tables and a lot of chairs.

After changing to my own swimwear, I tried to swim with Jaden in the baby pool but he was shivering because the water is quite cold and the weather is cloudy so I decided to wait for a while. We ordered a light lunch, sandwiches and fruit shakes. Jaden had his wafer and apple juice. The sun came up and I decided to try the pool with slides because it is so much bigger. There was a program going on and I get to divert Jaden's attention. After a few minutes he was dancing with the music (Gangnam Style) along with other kids. I don't get to take a lot of pictures because my phone is not waterproof and I was carrying him the whole time.

After 30 minutes I showered him and I decided to change as well. While I was changing, they were having a little photoshoot.

We decided to buy some groceries before heading home. We paid our bills in the counter but I was pissed off by how long I've waited. I know there are a lot of customers but they should have been more considerate. It wouldn't take years to check my bill and give my change. Because it is Easter, I decided to let it pass.

The little boy zonked out in the car. We bought his favorite nuggets and fruit juices. He loves yogurt and biscuits as well. We went home after.

I love swimming but I cannot stay in the pool for hours with Jaden because he might catch a cold. We will swim more often so he'll get use to pool water temperature.

It was a good day for everyone, the Lord has risen!

Legoland Malaysia

I wanted to bring Jaden somewhere fun and aside from Universal Studios and Escape theme park I can't think of anywhere else appropriate for his age. After our Sunday Mass, I personally requested that we have lunch at KFC, I was craving :) After purchasing $13 worth of food, I was given 2 vouchers by the cashier. The vouchers was for a 30% discount on entrance tickets for Legoland Malaysia!

I have no idea that there is a Legoland in Malaysia so I did a little research after and found out that it opened last September 2012. It is located in Nusajaya, Johor which is near the border of Malaysia to Singapore. Tickets are priced at RM 140 or around SG $56 for adults and RM 110 or SG $44 for children. We are not familiar with Malaysia and commuting is a no-no since we have Jaden with us and we brought his stroller. I searched online and found a travel agency offering Coach ride + Entrance Ticket package and we took it. The downside is we cannot use our vouchers but convenience is better :)

Mom invited two of her friends to come with us. We left early and brought extra clothes and snacks for Jaden. The coach will pick us up at the Singapore Flyer and we arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule. They gave us our entrance tickets before boarding.

Including the two Immigration stops, we reached Legoland an hour after.

The place is so crowded we cannot get a crowd-free picture with the sign

                           

Look at the queue for tickets

                                       

We had an early lunch at KFC

Before eating I used the restroom and there is quite a line and the place does not smell so good. Tissue papers are everywhere and the floor is wet. It is located outside and everyone uses it so they really need to have it cleaned every 30 minutes.

Lego in front of the restrooms

Jaden was so scared of the toilet man

And still scared.lol

We visited the Lego City first. They made legos of some of the countries in Asia.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The Petronas Tower

Singapore

Taj Mahal, India

We checked out some rides though we didn't get to experience any because 1. Jaden is not allowed 2. They're pretty scary 3. I'm scared

Boating is nice but the queue!!!

They have this train ride riding around so we queued up. The line is long but the train could take around 30 passengers per ride and they have two trains :)

They have 3 different playgrounds located around Legoland. Jaden had the time of his life!

Game face ON!

I brought him to one of the fountains so he could play and get wet before changing.

Then we went to the Legoland souvenir shop to buy him a Legoland shirt.

We watched the fireworks before going back to Singapore :)

It was a great day. We had fun and lots of photos. I'm really glad Jaden enjoyed it as much as we did :)
