Tiger girl and Doggie boy

During our holiday in Malaysia last month we drove up to Genting Highlands as the 2nd out of 3rd stop along our road trip. During our 2 days stay there the kids enjoyed themselves in the indoor playground.

Tiger girl is too young to go on certain rides on her on and was lucky that Doggie boy could accompany her for a go on the bumper cars. She happily got herself strapped in while her brother took her for a spin.

They wanted to go on a ride again after having so much fun on the bumper cars but I declined. I felt that they should maximize their 4 ride tickets which we purchased and chose another ride instead.

Taking a ride around the Eiffel Tower

The 2nd ride which they they hopped on was this ” Thomas like train” which sped around the Eiffel tower. Choo..Choo!!

It was freezing cold outside and the fog was really dense. It was a pity that the kids couldn’t know try out any of the outdoor rides. Maybe next time when we next visit Genting Highlands.

Have you been to any indoor theme parks lately?

Tin Mining and Horse and Carriage

Dominique Wordful Wednesday Horse and Carriage, wordful wednesday

Museum Sungai Lembing

During the December holidays we brought the kids to visit Muzium Sungai Lembing when we were in Kuantan. Sungai Lembing used to be a well known tin mining town back then. Since last decade the mines have been closed and this colonial building which used to house state officials has been turned into a museum.

Charts about formation of Tin

Within the museum visitors are able to learn about how Tin is formed and what items it has been made into.

Burlaps used to transport tin out of the mines

The kids got to see first hand how tin was collected and how a tin mine had been constructed.

Tin fragments

The boys got to see Tin in it’s raw form and how it has been polished into the pewter ware which we commonly see in shops.

Horse and Carriage Ride

After spending time at the museum we came across this ride on the way back to the car. R decided to let them try the ride as it’s not available back in Singapore and would be fun for them to try out.

The kids loved their short horse ride and it was the first time that they have ridden in such a horse carriage. It was certainly an interesting experience for them.
