Wish you all a blessed Christmas!

Legoland 2.0

Backdated post: July 2013

In July, we planned a 1-day trip to Legoland (we gained 2 buy-1-free-1 tickets during our last trip there). We started our journey from home at 6:30am and reached Legoland at 10am.

It was a beautiful sunny day, the park was quite empty. We headed to boating school for our first ride. The boat was battery operated and you could control the speed and direction of the boat.

“Hehehe…of course I am the captain, the very inexperienced one who hit another boat twice”.

Some very nice bricks sculptures spotted at the entrance of the boating school but JX refused to take photo with them. He wanted to sail the boat again, so we went on the ride again.

 

Next, Legoland Express. Another nice bricks sculpture spotted at the entrance of the train station.

“ Legoland Express is my top pick, I boarded this train 5 times.”

Lego City Airport

“Mommy flew her plane up and down few times during the first round, she felt dizzy after that. So, for the second round, it’s only me and daddy.”

Later, LK and I took turn to take the Pharoah’s Revenge ride while one of us strolled around the park with JX.

 

 

Lego 4D Adventure– As usual, 3D glasses were handed out for the movie. The seating in this theatre is the same as any movie theatre. No chair-moving effect. The added effects were smoke, rain and bubbles (my nose was irritated by the smell of the bubbles). Anyway, it did rain ‘heavily’ in the theatre, so, if you’re not prepared with rain coat, you better choose any seats at the last 2 rows.

“I didn’t like this 4D movie, I cried loudly in the theatre after a sudden strong wind followed by heavy rain. Daddy had to bring me out halfway so that I don’t disturb other people. “

Lunch at Market Restaurant

“I continue to cry even we’re already out from the theatre…”.

Build & Test - This place is one of JX’s favourite too. No more tears!

“ Daddy accompanies me after lunch. He brings me to Build & Test playroom, Driving school and also the Duplo playground. I board on the Duplo express 7 times. Meanwhile mommy goes around the team park herself.”

In the afternoon, while LK was accompanying JX, I went through all the 4D movies, hahahaha! After that, I went on window shopping at the gift shop.

I couldn’t resist and bought the Lego calendar.

 

Continue window shopping…cute Lego friends T-shirts

Lego, lego…there’re everywhere…

Look at the price, it’s RM599.90!

 

Interesting Lego Kingdom chest set

 

An amazing 1-day trip!

Hello breakfast

Breakfast, it's JX’s favourite meal of the day!

JX’s favourite- wholegrain bread with toasted coconut oil spread (I use organic extra-virgin coconut oil), boiled eggs, fresh fruits, veggies and freshly squeezed orange juice… let’s wake up and EAT!  

我又有时间看书了!

《吃錯了，當然會生病》作者: 陳俊旭醫師

最近, 我又重读这本书...之前已读了两遍，这次是第三遍. 近年市场上充斥着许多关于饮食, 营养及保健的书, 已经多到令人眼花撩乱的地步。 但, 我还是最喜欢这名作者。

如果你有时间，不妨买一本来看看。

这本书作者有些订正，请看这里: 冒煙點更正

幸福

幸福不是房子有多大，而是房里的笑声有多甜；
幸福不是你能开多豪华的车，而是你开着车能平安到家；
幸福不是爱人多漂亮或多帅，而是爱人的笑容多灿烂；
幸福不是在成功時喝彩多热烈，而是失意時会不会有個声音对你说，朋友別倒下；
幸福不是听过多少甜言蜜语，而是在你伤心時能有人对你说：沒事有我在。
永远不要去评价別人是否幸福，即使那個人看起來孤独無助。
幸福如人饮水，冷暖自己知。
最大的幸福不是得到，是拥有；
最贵的财富不是金钱，是健康。

My Gmail account was hacked!

My Gmail account was hacked last week and I only found out when I realised that my blog was removed by someone! The hackers changed my password, disabled my Gmail account and removed my blog. Luckily I didn’t have any Paypal accounts or bank accounts linked to this email as I believe most of the hackers are after money. I hope none of my friends received my email asking for money, if you do so, please let me know!

I was very calm when I found out this incident. Immediately I submitted a form to Gmail and hoped to recover my account as quickly as possible. I was asked a few questions by the Gmail team to determine if I am the correct account owner. Thanks GOD, I got the answers right and I managed to recover my account after 2 hours.

After I managed to login to my account, the very first thing I did was to change my account password and recovered my blog. I found out that the hacker used an I.P address from Mexico and Egypt (at the bottom of each webpage on Gmail, click on the "Details" option and it will take you to a webpage describing the type of access and the IP address of the computer which logged into your email account. This will help you spy if someone has been accessing your account).

This incident was really an eye-opener for me but it’s a blessing in disguise in some ways. I have learnt that we have to choose a unique and hard-to-crack-password, never use the same username and password on multiple websites & also don’t use dictionary word as your password.

Don't delay, be sensible and make your passwords more secure today!

Quote that inspired me this week

‘你羨慕別人月薪幾萬，卻不知道他日日加班到深夜的辛苦。你羨慕別人說走就走到處遊玩的自由，卻不知道他為這份自由放棄的東西。一切都有代價，無論是財富，事業，愛情，還是自由。別人永遠是別人。別處永遠在別處，等你走過去，你現在身處的地方又會成為你的別處。所以不必羨慕。生活不在別處，在此處’.

I ♥ theme park– Legoland (End)

Kudos to the theme park designers, hope that kids are inspired by the creativity that they have put in at every corner in the Legoland. Cheers!

Another brick sculpture which caught little one’s attention… I didn’t know how to call this man, so I told Jing Xuan that he’s called the “Iron Man”. Hehe… Isn’t the theme park a fairy-tale land for kids, so naming isn’t important, all you need is your imagination.

 

The Observation Tower

We loved this ride very much and went on it twice. We really loved the 360 degree view of the Legoland and the surrounding area. There’s a magician entertaining us with some magic shows while waiting for the ride. Anyway, no queue at all!

Some very nice Lego sculptures spotted around The Observation Tower.

Duplo Playtown – A very cute playground where little one refused to leave even though it’s hot like an oven.

“I am very busy looking for the hen who keeps on saying ‘cluck-cluck-cluck’ at this barn.”

Anyway the ‘Duplo Express’ was down for maintenance. Are you able to spot the bunches of ‘brick-veges’ in the photo below?

It’s 5pm, we had spent almost an hour in this playtown, so we decided not to watch the 4D movie (at the Lego Studio), not to enter the “ Lego Build and Test” room and also the “Pharaoh Revenge’s ride”. We headed straight to the mini-land. More bricks sculptures were spotted on our way to the mini-land.

 

The Pharoah Revenge’s ride…will visit again next time.

 

Mini-land

Can you spot that someone is trying to commit suicide in the photo below?

We were happily enjoying the great creation at the mini-land for the next 1.5 hours. It’s amazing. Little one hoped to stay on as time was just too short for him to slowly go every small bits & pieces at the Mini-land. 

Planning to revisit soon as we get 2 buy-1-free-1 ticket on that day.
