First Zoo Trip in 2011

The weather was cloudy and cool this morning - perfect for a trip to the zoo!

The children's favourite photo-taking spot - with the iconic elephant sculptures at the zoo entrance

We renewed our "Friends of the Zoo" Family Pass while Jayden checked out the locations of his favourite animals. The membership fees is S$180 for a one-year family pass. We managed to get a 10% discount with my SAF 11B :-)

You can rent a wagon for your kids at the zoo entrance. It allows the little feets to rest and fathers can train their muscles

Something new to me! You can also rent an Adventure Scooter for a ride throughout the zoo during your visit. No need for helmet - it will be a slow ride. 

 

Lovely morning for a visit to the zoo! Love the green!

Really looking forward to the new attractions in 2012!

Free Ranging Orang Utan Island

My lovely wife!!!

The children were excited to feed the elephants! S$5 for a basket of fruits :-)

 

Having a little snack before the show at the Splash Amphitheatre

Jayden thoroughly enjoyed the show!

 

A morning stroll at the zoo is really "tonic" for the soul

Ice-cream treat for the children!!!

With the annual pass, we will be back SOON!

Family Trip to KL, Malaysia (Part 4)

Final part of our trip in KL. 

A short distance away from Mid Valley Megamall, is The Gardens. A "higher-end" sister of Mid Valley Megamall.

There is a connector linking Mid Valley Megamall to The Gardens

Joann browsing some children story books after we chanced upon Borders in the mall

Back to Berjaya Times Square, we have our tea break at Krispy Kreme and witness the donut making process. The children watch with great interest.

Donuts get "fried" at the initial stage of this big machine

Donuts undergoing the "Sugar Coating"

Soft, flavored donuts with hot tea makes a good light snack

Family Trip to KL, Malaysia (Part 3)

Our next stop - Mid Valley Megamall! 

First, need to take a monorail from Imbi to KL Sentral station (4 stops)

The children enjoy the morning train

Upon alighting from KL Sentral monorail station, it is a 10 minutes walk to the KTM station

Arriving at the KTM station

Queuing up to buy the KTM tickets

From KL Sentral KTM to Mid Valley station (1 stop from platform 6)

Over 20 minutes wait

"The wait is so long!!!", Jayden cried

A shopping centre with 430 shops on five floors located near Bangsar. Anchor tenants include Carrefour, Jusco, Metrojaya.

 

Buying clothes for the children is a compulsory aspect of our trips to Malaysia. It's cheaper than SG!

A really big mall! Not as crowded as the ones in SG

 

 

One of my favourite ice-cream brand! First tasted it at Gold Coast, Australia. Yummy!

Jayden examining his ice-cream... As usual, he is very cautious with his food...
