Day 1 - Wednesday 31 May
We figured arriving on Wednesday is great for many reasons. And this Wednesday, we had smooth traffic all the way - left earlier just past 8.30 am and arrived at Medini Mall by 9.40 am, via Woodlands. Legoland wasn't even opened yet!
Mandatory shot :)
Dropped off our luggage at the lockers and went off to play! There were significantly fewer people - we were very happy! No need to queue much for anything.
The VR ride was not opened yet as usual so Sito and Kai went for the big dragon while Yang went for the small dragon. Or, as Yu calls them - daddy dragon and baby dragon :)
Kai and Yang decided to take the volcano ride finally! Kai took it with Sito before COVID but Yang had never tried. Yu is old enough for that but he declined like he did all the roller coaster rides... Yang said the ride cooled him down. Yes, it was very very hot!
It's been a long time since they took this mini train!
All geared up for the volcano ride!
Last two times, Sito order three regular meals and a kiddy meal at lunch for five of us. This time, Sito felt hungry so he ordered four regular meals instead. We convinced Kai to get a burger instead of hotdog bun coz he didn't want all the stuff on the hotdog anyway.
Lucky for us all coz we ordered the wrong hotdog bun - this version was spicy! But Yang rejected it due to the floss on top; we only knew it was spicy when we ate it. So Sito gave him his burger. But it was too big. So we gave him fried chicken from Yu's meal - Yu cannot finish three big pieces. But that was spicy for him - actually just peppery... So Sito pulled out some chicken from his burger for Yang!!!
Anyway, I had most of the hotdog bun and the portobello mushroom in Sito's burger. He had some of huis burger and Yu's chicken. Kai had his own burger. Yang ate a mix of stuff. Yu had his drumstick and "a quarter" of another part. Plenty of fried remained. And they had ice cream. Messy lunch!
Sad face upon being served the big burger :(
After lunch, we went to Ninjago, Pharaoh's revenge playground, fire truck and even watched a show! Very happy to find minimal queues for the boating school and driving schools too :)
Enlarged this to make Sito's score more visible - this is called 望尘莫及 haha!
Two of us and we were the first of four cars - the rest must be quite bad haha!
Me and my number 1 team, yeah!
Watching Realm of Shadows
Some five years ago, we also watched Realm of Shadows. But Yu wanted out the moment things went dark, which was maybe two minutes into the 30-min show *.* This time, he was the one who suggested watching the show. And all three sat still throughout! Think all the Ninjago shows on Netflix help? :p They were also telling us who the characters were.
Dinner was of course at Vivo Pizza coz of their Wednesday discounts! The kids ate the same thing as last time - two pepperoni pizzas for Kai, one for Yang and meatball spaghetti for Yu. Sito's baked fish spaghetti looked smaller than Yu's! I had a veggie pizza. Dessert was chocolate lava cake - we all loved it except for Kai who doesn't like cakes.
The face is smaller than the food :p
Baby was nua-ing on Papa :))
We headed for a massage after dinner and packed dessert from Blackball. It was quite an early night for us. My nose wasn't very good so I slept early. Didn't sleep too well coz Yu kept moving! And he got up a couple of times to open the door - he said he wanted to see if his brothers were awake. We chased him to their bed from Day 2 :p
Day 2 - Thursday, 1 June
Woke to rain :( We tried waiting and I dozed off, haha! Morning nap woohoo! Ended up just staying in to play games in the morning. Left in time for lunch at Tian Lai - we were the first at noon! We moderated our order this time and finished everything comfortably - two noodle dishes for all, one meat for the kids, one yam ring to try and a big crab!
So happy playing games!
Random shot - reliving 习字 nightmare!
Since we had time, we decided to go to Paradigm instead of Aeon. Watched a movie - Spider-Man - AND had popcorn for S$40! Then we bought underwear for the kids and a new schoolbag for Kai - he wore out his new schoolbag after four months *.*
Happy with snacks but wondering when the movie would start...
This one started asking when the movie would end after some time!
The movie was quite long and it was close to dinner time by the time we were done. To make it easier, we had Macs *.* But it was quite a wait to order and get the food. I was digging into my nasi lemak when Yu needed to poop *.* So I brought him to the handicapped toilet where there was a baby WC - he looked so cute there but the continuous pooping and farting for 10 min, nope, not cute!
Went shopping for kiddy underwear next. Could have got them in Singapore but no suitable ones near us and I didn't want to buy online coz I wanted to see the size. Ended up becoming member of the shop and got great discounts as part of their membership drive, yeah!
Also got a backpack for Kai - he wore out his new one bought in December!! We think it's coz the bag swings crazily on him when he runs, which is all the time to and from school...?!
Then I gave him 10RM each to spend in the arcade. Each was left with one token at the end. Kai just gave his to Yang. Yang put both into a drum game but the machine didn't detect one and didn't refund either. Yu suggested (yes, he kept reminding me of this whenever I brought this up) using his last token on condition that Yang let him play too. So Yang did - there were two drumsticks (not this 🍗 !) and each got one. Kai was miffed that I commended them on this cooperation coz he gave a token but didn't get to play...
Legs just long enough to reach the pedal
Legs very long now - can sit back
Legs long enough too but what for when you can auto it? :p
Sito and I played as two girls gave us their last tokens
Very nice cooperation! :)
Day 3 - Friday, 2 June
Woke to a sunny morning! Finally can go to the water park!
We spent two hours there, one in the rafts and one in the joker slides. The kids didn't want to go to any of the rides :(
Scared and curious about the big tank toppling over
Shuttled them back to the apartment to shower so we could grab lunch and move on to the park. But it was very crowded! Sighs, I did not check for public holidays before booking the trip and realised only a few weeks back that it was Vesak Day on Friday. Heard of massive jams crossing over to JB. Later in the lift of our apartment, we saw that it was a Malaysian PH on the following Monday too, gosh! So we queued and waited a long time for lunch at the supermarket. The kids were so hungry :(
With the theme park crowded, the VR queue was long but Yang wanted to use the headset - he was too young for it pre-COVID and the headset wasn't available in our recent trips. So Sito took Kai and Yang to the VR while Yu and I went to Ninjago. But the Ninjago queue was super long! Guess coz it was hot too...
We ended up watching a 4D show. This time, Yu put on the glasses for a good part of the show, yeah! Yup, quite fun to watch hotdogs and bananas fly towards us haha!
Cool or not?
We met back at Ninjago and went to play with Lego instead. And then we headed off for dinner at Super Steamboat - yup, a new place for us!
My infinite roller coaster haha!
Playing with Papa's cannon on a temple?
Yang's hotdog and cupcake stand - love his smile!
We were one of the earliest at the dinner place. It was a BBQ and steamboat buffet with free flow drinks and ice cream! We didn't eat a lot of real food but the ice cream...
And he wasn't done for another couple more scoops!
Third and that wasn't the last too coz "I always have space for desserts"
Fifth! But he took a bite and puked everything out!
I just grabbed the nearest bowls while Sito grabbed a bag. So yup, we filled two bowls with vomit, oops! We left after that *.*
Sito had an ice cream waffle before two more scoops and a potong
A matcha bingsu and a corn potong was all I could stomach
Walked to Aeon and rested a bit before going for our massage. The Wednesday massage was very good so we booked the same two but my guy was on MC so I got another guy who wasn't as good, sighs...
The boys must be tired coz they just sat there watching this for a while
And we were behind them with a ncie backdrop :)
Yu tried to order liang cha at Hock Hua but there was no liang cha - all were liang cha! In the end, we chose water chestnut drink.
Yu sat with me on the big couch and I dozed off with him by my side
Watching TV while waiting for bubble tea at Blackball
Blackball in Singapore is quite ex now. There's one just downstairs but we have given up on it. Just buy whenever we go Legoland :p

Day 4 - Saturday, 3 June
Breakfast was finally at BIG supermarket cafe! But gosh, the queue! By the time I got to the front of the queue, they had only one hotdog bun so Kai and Yu had to play scissors paper stone. Kai got it. Sito had to coax Yu to eat some of the double cheese bun. Yang had nicely chosen the cheese stick and enjoyed it :)
With only less than two hours to go, we decided to split up again. Yang and I went to Sea Life while the rest went to the theme park.
I learnt so much from Yang! He took photos of me touching a chocolate chip sea star and told me the size it could grow to. He also said the big spots on the small shark were not the eyes but to make predators think it was a bigger fish! I became the child :)
My baby with a baby shark :)
With the crab he "brought to life"
My black pepper crab, heh!
Yang in some shipwreck
Playing some shark game
Two of us
Three of them
The three came to find us at the agreed time. Timing was really just right for us to finish everything! Before heading back for our suitcase, we grabbed some buns from the supermarket. We had them for breakfast for the next two days - the croissants were awesome!
Tired on the way home
We were very pleased with this trip. Now we're thinking of taking a bus into JB for a day trip just to watch movie and eat and shop one fine day. Just need to make sure no public holiday! :)
