Fidgets At Turf City

Remember I mentioned previously that my school was closed on Monday, and that I will be going out for some fun with Joel and Camille ???

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!!!
