Water World & Trick Art Museum, I City Shah Alam

The Water World in I City Shah Alam is currently doing promotion online whereby the first 400 visitors get to pay RM10 only while another 300 visitors for RM15 for its water park ticket fee.You may click HERE for more detail info. We have been wanting to go to its water park for quite some time, but have to postpone our intention since its normal ticket price of RM40 is quite pricey i'd say. So when hubby got to know about this promo, he immediately settled for the booking, and off we went to I City on last Saturday, a day before KL was attacked by the foggy haze for a few days (lucky us the weather on that Saturday was still considered ok, at least we don't smell the smoke when breathing!).

Sea horses and fountain at the water park entrance

Locker rental at RM5 each. They introduced the magnetic watch to open the locker, but we find the mechanism to be quite ineffective...bateri jam lemah so locker tak boleh bukak...geram kan?? we had to wait for few minutes for them to change our locker sigh*

kids ready for their pool time! The changing room cum toilet was big and comfy, situated next to the locker rental booth.

Nampak benda besar yg biru tu? that was called the 'tornado', the biggest and first of its kind in Asia if i were not mistaken. Kasik RM5k pon belum tentu i nak naik :p hihi

The biggest waves pool..mmg best as compared to Desa Water Park. Kids paling suka this section.

tempat lepak utk parents pon banyak..cuma bukan semua covered..so time tgh hari mmg panas giler lah!

 The tornado from in front...scary bila tgk..sure melambung2 dan pening time naik nih. kalo x pegang kuat silap haribulan i budget boleh tercampak!

 

kids section...comel dan ceria

 

 ops tu bukan gambar kami. Naik pelampung lalu tunnel ni best...dia akan bergerak sekeliling water park tuh...kami naik ni last skali...lepas penat lelah lepak atas pelampung dan biar dia gerak sendiri di tolak arus :)

 ha nampak slides hijau kuning biru belah kanan tuh? yg tu paling best dan kurang horror buat amateur seperti i...baring meniarap atas board dan kepala meluncur ke hadapan ala2 superman. Bila duk dekat plantar atas tu mmg rasa cam horror, tapi bila dah luncur turun ohhhh biasa je ni tak takut rupanya! Slides tengah tu kami x try sebab kena ngam2 4 orang naik...budak kecik takleh naik so kami x cukup kuorum. Slides belah kiri tu berkali2 i naik dgn idlan...best!

Overall review: kalau tiket RM15 mmg highly recommended la utk pegi. But kalau RM40 mmg tak pegilah...rasanya too pricey sbb water park dia takdelah besar sgt :p 

Apa yg kurang menarik kat i city ni, layout dia macam tak properly structured. Kena turun naik panjat tangga dari parking utk pergi ke water park ni...dahlah kena jalan jauh. Sana sini semua kena naik tangga, amazingly langsung takde escalator!! Jadi buat mereka2 yg ada anak kecik dan membawa stroller, agak mencabar jugakla. Serius penat giler, terasa macam dekat Hong Kong pon ade...asyik turun naik tangga je iskkkkk

next entry nnt i citer psl Trick Art Museum plak ok...tunggu!!!

Ammar is diaper-free yeayy!

Big clap to my lil boy, he is now diaper-free during day time :) Million thanks to his teachers at kindy, they were the one that potty-trained him up to this level. Syukur alhamdulillah, senang keja kami hihi. Anyway he is still on diaper at night time..kira oklah tuh! So just for my personal record, Ammar is diaper-free before he reaches 3 years old, the fastest as compared to his abang2. Syabas my dear!
 

Takut ke bekam??

Such a long hiatus from my last entry, lose the energy to blog again dear self???
To me blogging needs some kind of mood, and it relates to momentum as well. The moment u lose the right momentum, there u go falling off the track.

So what's new with my life recently? i guess a lot of things happened of late, which i dont think i can write and share everything in this space. But one of the biggest things that worth mentioning, i went to bekam on last Sunday!! With one of my geng lunch, Aini :) Aini heard about this pusat terapi bekam Al-Hajari from the facebook, which she later shared with us the geng lunch over the watsapp (well we shared a lot of things over this medium - pool beli shawl, pool beli tudung, beli blouse, gossip, cerita pasal food, tpt makan best, tips2 nak kuruskan badan or any body flab, some of us shared our calories burnt everytime we finished doing work out, and the very last thing that i can recalled, pool beli collagen!! such a variety of topic and things that we do n share, which is why catching up with geng lunch is important and becomes our routine!).

 So to cut it short me and Aini booked a slot with this center, and went for our bekam session with the owner called Baiti. Her husband and her operates the center from home, which to us is quite convenient coz the service is very personalized, cuma yang tak best we need to queue before our turn comes up sebab session dibuat one after another...bukan simultaneous few ppl at one particular time.

Why did i agree to go for bekam? well this is the first in my life, and just because i had frequent migrain attack these few weeks i think i need to scout for alternatives, rather than relying on pain killer (i.e. ponstan) every time i had the attack. In my case i have to take at least 6 biji ponstan in a day each time i had the migrain, which is bad seriously! and of course not good for my liver and kidney in long term! I am tired taking the ponstan, and because of this i agreed to try out the bekam, some more this is one of the Prophet sunnah, so why not try kan?

I let Aini to start her session first, because Aini already had few bekam experience before unlike me, yg agak nervous hari tuh! Aini had 19 points altogether, which is scary! (haha takdela scary actually, tak sakit mcm bersalin ok!). Baiti will advise how many and at which points area we need to put the cup according to our prescriptions pasal diri kita sakit apa dan sebagainya. For me yg kerap migrain, she decided that i should hv 13 cups, 1 at the back of my head, 2 kat leher, 3 kat bahu, 2 di belakang lutut and the rest was scattered on my back. Mula2 buat bekam angin, utk memecahkan angin2 di bwh kulit supaya senang darah keluar...time ni mmg best giler, rasa mcm org urut yg kuattttt giler. Serius rasa lega amat! Then after 10min barulah dia akan cucuk beberapa points sebelum letak semula cup utk start bekam darah. Cucukan kat leher paling sakit, mungkin sbb leher lembut...so rasa lenguh dan sedikit sakit bila darah keluar...tempat lain alhamdulillah rasa ok jer. Sakit dia 'bearable' la....serius semua orng boleh try. Sesi kami berlangsung hampir sejam kot....darah paling byk keluar kat kepala dan leher...mmg sesuai la dgn migrain ku tuh :p

Overall, both of us rasa pusat terapi ni sgt ok...harga sgt murah berbanding tpt lain (hanya RM5 per cup, RM10 per cup utk kepala)...ada tpt lain charge RM20-30 per cup tau! Alat2 dan tatacara kebersihan nmpk memuaskan...lepas settle dia sterilize cup2 yg digunakan sebelum recycle utk customer lain.  Sempena ramadhan ni depa buat promosi 11 cup RM40! Utk aku 13 points hari tu cuma byr RM55, while Aini RM80.

So far selepas seminggu berbekam hanya sekali kena migrain (stress kena wat paper board yg terpaksa tukar dan amend ntah berapa puluh kali huhu). Dlm masa yg sama saya tgh pantang nescafe...dah 2 minggu stop minum nescafe. Jadi breakfast setiap pagi ditemani susu dutch lady perisa coklat atau strawberry..ok what sedap pon sedap kan hihi. Kata Baiti antara makanan yg patut kita amalkan adalah kurma, jus delima dan madu...ni 3 serangkai yg penting utk amalan harian. Susu kambing pon elok...mmg menjadi amalan Rasullullah...tapi saya tak penah minum hoho. Oh lupa nescafe tu tak bagus sbb kandungan caffeine yg tinggi tu memekatkan darah, yg mane akan meninggikan tekanan di salur darah dan buat dia jadi meregangn...jadi boleh juga menjadi penyebab kpd sakit darah tinggi! Nauzubillah takut bila dengar...sbb tu nekad nak stop dulu nescafe buat sementara waktu...

Migrain berlaku kerana salur darah ke otak kita tersumbat..mungkin disebabkan corak pemakanan, stress, cuaca panas atau terlalu sejuk, etc. Saya perasan yg saya mmg senang kena migrain bila stress. Stress sket terus migrain...dahsyat betul..konfem esok2 takleh jadi big boss! hehe

Bagi anda yg teringin nak try bekam tapi takut...nasihat saya pegi jelah try..mmg worth it!
Takdelah sakit sgt pon...time cucuk tu mcm rasa kena gigit semut (tapi 1 cup tu byk kali gak dia cucuk ade dekat 7-8 kali kot hehe). Kalo nak compare dgn sakit contraction nk bersalin...uishhh mmg incomparable lah! hehe

Ikut Baiti, seelok2nya buatlah bekam every 40 days. Paling elok buat bila anda berpuasa, kerana badan akan concentrate utk proses penyembuhan dan tak bz nak mencernakan makanan (sbb tu org operate kena pose, amik darah kena pose). Kalau nk try, pegila ke pusat2 yg boleh dipercayai. Ada jugak kawan saya cerita, dia penah pegi bekam style toreh2 bukan cucuk tuh...jadi excessive bleeding kat kepala...uish dgr pon horror. Aspek kebersihan pon sgtla penting. Kalo x bersih, huish nauzubillah takut kita terjangkit penyakit org lain kan!

So kalau tanya saya lain kali nak pegi lagi tak..jawapan saya adalah YA :)

Genting Highlands 29-30 May 2013

Dari Pangkor, kami meneruskan perjalanan ke Genting Highlands.Apakah nasib, kami tak berjaya jumpa exit ke Plus Highway, makanya perjalanan menggunakan jalan lama terpaksa dilalui dgn penuh seksa! isk isk Bayangkan jam 2pm bertolak dari Pangkor, kami hanya berjaya sampai ke Genting around 6pm. Dahsyat tuh, siap lalu kampung orang asli bagai. Memang betul2 macam road trip gitu :p Memang pelik sungguh la perjalanan dari Perak nih. Dari jauh dah nampak signboard hijau highway, tapi sampai ke sudah masih tak jumpa2 exit ke highway. Akhirnya, setelah beberapa jam perjalanan baru kami berjaya exit ke highway (exit Sungkai tak silap..yang boleh pergi ke Felda Sg Klah tuh) phewwwww!

Kami book First World hotel thru online booking...hotel paling budget pada firasat saya (RM118/night). Manusia punyala ramai dekat lobi hotel tuh..huish ramainya yg suke pegi Genting! Jangan buang masa queue di kaunter, anda boleh buat self-check in di kiosk dekat lobi hotel tuh. Pantas dan efficient...tak sampai 2 minit siap dapat access card to your hotel room!

Di luar lobi First World Hotel...lepas waktu Maghrib. Lampu2 neon yg dipasang mmg cantik di waktu mlm.

@ Indoor theme park. Kami tak beli tiket indoor sebab dah lambat kan...confirm tak boleh nak fully utilize the rides. Tengok orang beratur nak naik rides pun punyerla ramai..panjang Q ok...so jln2 tgk orang jelah malam tuh :)

Tak dpt tgk Eiffel Paris, tgk Eiffel tower kat Genting pon jadikla :P

Ripley's Believe it or Not...kami tak masuk...tiket agak mahal jugak tapi tak igt dah

Kids bergumbira sebab dpt pakai jacket! Feeling ala2 kat obersea gitu :)

 

Kami plan malam tu nak beli siap2 tiket utk Outdoor Theme Park utk keesokan harinya, malangnya org kaunter ckp esok baru boleh beli..haish leceh betul. Kebanyakan rides dlm Indoor theme park ni tiket dia RM8/ride/pax. Teringin sgt nak masuk 4D motion movie tapi Ammar pulak tak lepas min height requirement isk isk. The kids ada jugak beratur utk naik bumper car, tapi bila dah sampai turn kami, orang tu ckp Idlan 'terlebih' height requirements...ape lagi merajukla si Firas sbb tak dpt naik. Suruh dia naik dgn Ammar je dia tak berani nak manoeuvre kereta tuh pulak. Penat je queue huhu. Moral of the story utk setiap rides sila baca dulu min age/height requirements dia ok! Kesimpulannya mlm tu kami hanya berjaya naik 1 ride...train yg pusing the whole theme park yg sgt slow tuh..haha jadikla kids pon hepi je dpt naik benda alah tuh. Dalam pukul 10pm++ kami pun pulang ke bilik hotel...selepas pekena Baskin Robbins secawan. Kat KL tak mkn BR, kat Genting mengada-ngada pulak tingin nk makan eskrem mahal time sejuk2 tuh :p

 

Rise n shine semua! Pagi Jumaat tu dgn penuh bersemangat bebudak bangun awal. Lepas pekena morning breakfast dekat KFC, kami terus berjln laju menuju ke Outdoor Theme Park. Oh kesian kat hubbyku, terpaksa Q punyerla pjg giler nak beli tiket!

Our 1st ride of the day..naik train slow pusing the whole theme park

Jet ni kami semua naik!

 

ni ride bodoh jer...mama konfem berani la. masih boleh tersenyum pandang kamera :p Cuba suruh naik solero shot ke flying coaster ke...haaa ade berani??? kasik 5k pon konfem aku takkan naik yer!

 

Ride yg paling menyampah dan konfem akan blacklist seumur hidup - teacup!!! cis nampak cam bodoh je tapi lepas naik...omg terus pening kepala!!! hubby n kids nmpk cool je pusing cawan tu laju2 tapi mama siap pakai spek mata hitam and pejam mata rapat takmo kasik pening. Aduhai lemah sungguh!

 

beratur panjang utk naik boat ride di sekeliling dinasourland. Letih queue tapi worth it jugaklah.

 

Banyak replika dinasour di sepanjang sungai tuh

Dinasihatkan anda naik boat ride ni awal2 pagi utk mengelakkan queue yg panjang!

tulang dinasour!

 

kami akan melalui satu dark tunnel...kemudian dlm gelap tuh adalah mcm dinasour show/bunyi orang ckp2 terangkan pasal sejarah dinasour. Ammar takut sbb gelap dan tetiba nmpk dinasour bergerak2!

 

Ok lepas habis boat ride kami jln sekejap dekat dinasourland ni

dinasour tunnel

ride utk budak kecik...abg Idlan cuma boleh tgk dari jauh hihi

The Waves ni sgtla giler! walaupun aku tak naik...tapi kalau aku naik mmg konfem akan migrain! ala2 mini roller coaster siap pusing ke depan ke belakang...isk tgk pon rasa nak pening! Idlan siap tunduk sebab takut melayang. Firas tak lepas height requirements..selamat!

Kasik ikan makan...sementara mama dan abg Idlan naik boat dekat tasik :)

sgt penat ye kengkawan naik bot nih. kena kayuh manual...ish rasanya kalori terbakar agak byk jugakla lepas habis naik nih!

Anak bujang tu mula2 takut bukan main nak naik dgn mama..maklumlah mama dia tak reti swim. Tapi bila dah masuk dlm bot tuh...siap pujuk taknak stop :p

Ok now turn abah pulak naik dgn Firas. Si Firas ni pon eksyen...takmo naik dgn mama isk isk. Time ni si Ammar dah meraung sakan sbb nak naik bot sama!!! Panjang jugakla drama dia...sampai terpaksa pujuk beli eskrem. Ammar terlalu kecik..tak lepas height requirements utk naik paddle boat nih.

Abah semput habis lepas turun dari bot nih. apa taknya dia sorang jer kayuh...si Firas tu syiok bukan main relaks jer...sempat peace2 lagik tuh pandang kamera :p Bagus jugak awak tak naik dgn mama..kalo tidak haru mama kena kayuh sesorang!

Ok si comel mama dah boleh tersenyum manis...lepas ni baru lepas beli jiwa kasik upah eskrem!

nak kasik dia sengih macam tu..kena ckp...'mana gigi cantik mana gigi cantik??'haish padahal ade 2 btg gigi dah berkarat :p

Mama tahu..abah sure lega giler dpt pulang ke pangkal jalan! haha

aritu nek umi kasik London bus sebagai souvenir beli kat london...haaa kitorang siap dpt amik pic dengan London bus ni lagik tauuu :p

pondok telefon merah ni pon ade!

dan juga kereta antik :)

Genting indoor night view. Bubyes Genting..see u in the next 5 yrs!! 

 

Ticket price..for reference. Kami amik family package utk Outdoor park only @ RM167. 

Raanya kami dah boring kot pegi Genting. Rides pon ada byk yg tutup for maintenance, frust betul. Lepas ni tunggu update pasal Korea plak okeh!! (cehh berangan lagik tuh :p)
