So on Monday, Mummy and Auntie Winnie brought us to The Fidgets at Turf City. Its a big indoor playground and we can stay there the whole day with an entrance fee of $15 for each child.
So once we entered, we wasted no time at all!
There's this very tall slide. When this video was taken, it is the first time that I took it, and I manage to hold back my tears, although you can hear from the video that I said "i am like going to cry". The 2nd time when joel and I went back, I hesitated for a very long time before everybody urged me to try again, although I was quite scared by my first experience. So I when I finally mustered up enough courage to try, I actually stretched out my hands mid-way down and held onto the edge of the slides and stoppped there. And I started to cry. Mummy was trying very hard to coax me down the slide but I just sat there and held onto the slide tightly and refused to let go. This really made Mummy panic cos she was too big sized to go through all the kids sized maze to go and rescue me, and I just refused to come down.
Fortunately, Auntie Winnie came to my rescue as she was petite enough to squeeze through the kid sized structures and rode down the slide with me. After that, Mummy carried me to the side and tried to console me, and explained to me that if I am scared, then don't go back to the slide, don't go there then refuse to come down. BUT, after I stopped crying, I requested Auntie Winnie to go down the slide with me AGAIN?!!! Aiyo Mummy was so paiseh cos although Auntie WInnie is petite, its still not easy to squeeze through kids sized structures to get up onto the slide. So Mummy made me promise that I can only go onto it one last time with Auntie Winnie. And if I wanted to go again, I have to go on my own. And I readily agreed, and went on to explore other parts of the playground and quickly forgot all about the crying incident.
Then we decided to explore the toddler area, and also to let Auntie Winnie take a rest, since Camille keeps wanting Auntie Winnie to accompany her inside the big playground. Here, she can play on her own.
"Flinstone" Cars and tricycles.
Smaller verson of the Playground.
Because this playground was so small, I had to find extra entertainment for myself. So I took something to form a barrier at the end of the slide and collected balls there, so that I can have a special effect slide!!! Weeeeee!!!!
We had lunch there. As their customers are mainly western expats, the cafe there only serves pasta, pizza, fried food and sandwiches. Mummy already knew this from the website, so on our way there in the morning, she already psycho-ed me that I cannot be picky like I normally do and i have to finish whatever Mummy ordered. If not, she'll bring me out for lunch, and we will not return to the playground.
Since I was having phlegm, so no fried food for me. And I simply hate pasta and pizza. So there left sandwiches. Mummy ordered an Egg Mayo Ciabatta for me. Although I obviously didn't like it, I still ate without complaining. Joel also didn't quite like the food, and was trying to negotiate with Auntie Winnie. I even told Joel "you better finish your food, if not your Mummy bring you out for lunch, you can't come back to play already!!". So we actually finished our food without much complains, food that I normally will not touch!!
Auntie Winnie was saying that the cafe can serve anything, and the kids will still eat!! Hahahah How true!!
After lunch we resumed our play. But I still didn't attempt the tall slide that I was scared of. However, when Mummy told me we are leaving soon, I actually went to try out the tall slide again and I loved it!! THen I went on it again, and again, and again for another 10 times. I even went to attempt this 3 storey high slide that I didn't dare to initially, and I loved it again!! And went for it another 5-6 times. So Mummy's "Leaving in 10 min" became nearly 40 min!!! But she is glad that I managed to overcome my phobia so she let me continue.
We played from 10 am and finally left at about 3.30pm. We really enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Was telling Daddy excitedly in the evening about it. I requested Daddy to bring me there again, but that's when I was told that place will be torn down in Feb 2012!!! AWWWW!!!!! But I am looking forward to my birthday party next month, when my classmates and I will be playing at another indoor playground!!!
Waiting for the show to start .... And I loved Hi5. Used to have a lot of their VCDs, and now I pass those along to 表妹. So now she is also their fan. Unfortunately, 表妹 was recovering from her fever, so she could not come with me
And the cast appeared at 1 pm !!! And I even know the guy from the left is called Tim. Forgot the rest of their names. Haha
They even had animals on the stage !!!
And since I skipped my usual afternoon nap (only closed my eyes for 15 mins in Daddy's arms), I slept really early at 815 pm. And the following Monday, my school would be closed, so Mummy is going to bring me for an outing with Auntie Winnie, Joel and Camille (too bad, the Daddies got to work, haha).
So once we reached home, I tried my hands at assembling the 3D puzzle. Mummy helped initially, but then I wanted to complete it by myself. So with a little help from Mummy, I spent a good 1 hr sitting down to piece the puzzle together.
We are going back to Takashimaya to buy other designs the next weekend !!!! Hooray !!!!
The Elephant series ....
I have grown to love the camera
Tucking in to the buffet !!!
And see what a mess I made eating my chocolate fondue
But the best part I liked about the restaurant was the playground and kid's corner. Simple slide, that was too small for me, but I made friends with other kids, and that became great fun for me !!!
We went to watch the Donkey LIVE interactive show. And it was really good. Had a lot of interactive fun, including forming a tutu train going round the theatre
And I insisted on carrying my lunch box myself from then on
Saw a princess model and of course a princess (ME !!!) must take a photo with the "princess"
Next stop was the Magic Potion Spin, aka ferris wheel. Really slow ....
And I saw the Wood Pecker ... the one printed on my lunch box !!!
More photo taking ...
We saw the street performance by a group of boys, and they were really GREAT dancers !!!
Can you see me through the mist / fog ???? Simply liked the cooling feel
While waiting to enter, we saw Kungfu Panda !!!! All the kids were so excited !!!
First stop that we went to was the Madagascar zone.
Took the "A Crate Adventure", which was a river boat ride with the 4 heroes of Madagascar. I enjoyed the ride so much that I went for a second round. Not supposed to take photos, but Daddy took anyway. Haha
Carousel ride !!!! And I chose Alex, my favourite character
Next stop was the Far Far Away zone, ie. Shrek Castle !!!
We watched the Shrek 4D Adventure movie. It was superb. Daddy and Mummy expected the seats to rock and move, droplets of water tinkling on them, but they did not expect to have gust of wind blowing in the threatre (while Shrek rode through the forest at high speed). And the least expected was sensation around the legs when hoard of spiders crawled past them !!! It was indeed very real-life. I enjoyed the show a lot (tried to catch all the characters as they appeared close to me), but did not like the water tinkling on me.
Except for the Dino-Soarin ride. We are timid folks. Haha
Ancient Egypt was the next destination
Mummy and I took the Treasure Hunters ride. And I thought I really drove the jeep, without knowing it was really controlled
Revenge of the Mummy ride proved to be too big a challenge for Daddy and Mummy, so we skipped that
Time for the Madagascar performance !!!!
Before lunch, we went to watch the Water World show, sponsored by Singtel. Lots of action, gunfire, fireworks and loud sounds. In fact, there were quite a many of death defying feats. Because I was partly hungry, and I do not like violence at all, I did not like the show. Wanted to get out ASAP. But the curiosity also had me peeping through Mummy's shoulder at times, to see what was happening. Haha
