Cowboy Town

14th November 2013


The next day, we visited the Cowboy Town in the evening.



The entrance looked beautiful and was well decorated with Halloween and mid-autumn festival.  However, everything else falls apart as we entered.  The park is rather small with nothing much to see.  Many shops are closed and things are not properly maintained.  It just lacked of a strong gust of cold wind from the desert to create a real cowboy scene.

They charge exhorbitant prices for everything. Every ride needs to be paid separately besides the high entrance fee.

Our brave little girl wanted to try the trampoline

As though the trampoline is not scary enough, Elyse sat on the bull for only about 5 mins before she was thrown down

One last ride for the night


There were only two free highlights for the day:-
8.30 Red Indian Show &
9.15 Carnival show

Both at the same place one after another.

By 8:30pm, we were already seated comfortably waiting for the excitement to roll in. After about 10 minutes, the Carnival Show started with a bang by the Red Indians performing the heady fire-blowing act. These brave warriors were blowing flames from their mouths and also fire-eating.  Though the show was not really impressive to me, bravo to the performers who kept spitting fire and putting out the fire on sticks using their mouth.



Then here comes the ever-draggy carnival that made us wondered when is it going to end - elephants, horses, orangutans, clowns, mascots, dancers, colourful floats and many more.




Before the Carnival Show ends, audience was asked to do a countdown from 5 for the fireworks display. It all lasted for a mere 10 minutes and the whole show ended at about 10:20pm.



Honestly, we were quite disappointed with this Cowboy Town.  Looks like this would definitely be our last time here.


Safari Wonderland

13th November 2013


During our trip to Perth, Si Yi Po and Aunt Audrey made a promise to us that they would visit us end of the year.  That's the one thing that we were looking forward to.  Thankfully I am still not very good with the concept of days and months.  Finally one fine day, Daddy and Mommy told me Aunty Audrey and Si Yi Po were on their way to Malacca, Erwyn and I were jumping up and down waiting for their arrival.

Months before they came, Daddy and Mommy went to the Matta Fair at MITC to look for the A Famosa booth.  They were told that they could get discounted tickets.  We have heard from members of the Church that A Famosa is a nice place.  So, this would be the perfect chance for us to save some $$ and to have fun!

One of the reasons I enjoyed Si Yi Po and Aunty Audrey's visit is.... PRESENTS!!!  Thank you so much, Si Yi Po!  Thank you so much, Aunty Audrey!  Of course, I love their company and we get to do so many things together.

Our first destination was the Safari Wonderland.  This is a place where humans are caged and animals are free.

At the chicken farm

Erwyn and I loved the cute little chick.  There were so many of them!

Erwyn's turn to feed the donkey

The camel is so much bigger than I!!!

And very hungry, too!


We were caged (in a truck), in order to have a closer look at the tigers during the feeding show by the keepers.  Ehh... where's the tiger?  Sorry, Mommy was too busy carrying Erwyn, no hands left to snap a pic.


We took a motorized raft to the Monkey Island

That's the best part of the day - feeding the monkeys!
The Wild Wild West Show

Multi Animal Fun Play - an otter doing maths
Bird Show

Overall, we had a great day at Safari Wonderland.  However, there wasn't much choice of food for the kids.  Thank God that Mommy brought lots of biscuits and bread for the kids.

We would be going to Cowboy Town tomorrow evening since today was quite a tiring day for all of us (after all the walking!!!).  I wondered what awaits us there?!!

Snow White, The Musical

10 December 2013


The long awaited musical has finally arrived!

It was really amazing when we received a call from Mrs Chan inviting us to watch the musical at Sunway amphitheatre.  This time, it was 'Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs', an all-time popular fairy tale that has maintained its popularity in the hearts of fans of all ages.  Thank you once again to Mr & Mrs HC Chan!



Only one week ago, we visited Er Yi and she gave me a beautiful snowwhite costume.  She bought it at  Hong Kong Disneyland for Zi Ying 2 years ago.  Zi Ying has grown so much since then, so I officially 'inherited' that costume.  Mommy thought this would be the perfect time for me to dress up like a snow white.  And yes, I did!  No photo posted here though.  We were in a hurry and Mommy did not snap of photo of me. 

Since it was a Tuesday, Daddy and Mommy waited till I came back from kindy and then drove us up to Subang right away.  I did not skip school.  Such a good girl am I! 

It was Christmas season and Sunway Pyramid was fully decorated with Christmas trees and lightings.  This year, their theme is Faerie Dream 2013.



Mommy simply missed all these amazing deco and the carols played as the background music which brighten up the mall.  Christmas - the best time of the year! 

We met Rev Andrew Tan and his wife, Mr & Mrs Chan and other friends at the main entrance of Sunway Pyramid.  Had a presumptuous meal at the hotel before proceeding to the Amphitheatre for the show.








We were not allowed to take any pictures but Mommy found some photos in the web though. 

Much to our surprised, Erwyn likes the magic mirror although it actually looked a bit scary to little kids.  During the break, we saw a number of little girls wearing Snow White costume just like Elyse. 


Personally, Daddy and Mommy like this musical more than the previous two.  We had a great evening and all of us have a good time together.  We reached Malacca closed to midnight and both kids were fast asleep in the car.
