Legoland - Malaysia


so i went to Legoland at JB a week back. truthfully, i was very excited for it since i heard about it last year/beginning of this year since my brothers and i did use to play with Lego and built these awesome castles! but booo it didn't live up to my expectations of it. \(T^T)/

it is spilt into a couple of zones as per usual - Kingdoms, Technic, Lego City, Mini Land, Imagination, Land of Adventure.

Kingdoms with the classic castle and dragons.


this is extremely pretty to me for some odd reason. 

uhm. bears...playing? \( > - < )/

there were many play areas/play grounds around with different themes but i didn't visit them since they were mostly catered to kids. Legoland is extremely children friendly since most of the attractions/rides seemed to be designed for children 5-10 years old! i don't think teenagers will like it particularly much. i found it rather lacking. and definitely no adrenaline rush available!

a Musical Fountain. it has sensors so music starts playing as you approach it. hahaha.

a wet ride that was not as thrilling as i thought it would be. \(°^°)/

after walking a bit we had lunch at the cafe!

rainbow icecream which was basically paddlepop in a cone. super love paddlepop so i liked this a lot. HAHAHA.

salmon sandwich. the food seems super catered and not theme park stuff at all! in Disney and USS, the food are normally set to a theme with the cutlery and such designed specifically. those attention to details is what makes the experience so magical! however, at Legoland i felt like i was at Delifrance... \(T^T)/

the sculptures placed around randomly are quite interesting though. wahaha. #hamsup



water boat ride! if only the course was longer and more decorated...

sea themed fountain.

uber cute robots at the Technic side!


you could totally bring a pocket of legos and just disfigure them by sticking random pieces on. HAHAHA.


they were having some event/class, not sure which but wasn't that intriguing...i think the CS1101S Sumo-bots contest was so much cooler. hehh.

in this air-conditioned area where people try to build structures taller than these.

only photo i captured at the Land of Adventure.

lego pigeon!!! 

Mini Land was the area which interested me the most since the level of detail to the sculptures were crazy, for lego standards. I mean, doing miniature replicas with just lego blocks requires a lot of skill as compared to normal materials due to the constraints of the parts. hence the abnormal amount of photos.





can you spot the mini pandas frolicking about by the Great Wall?



butter fact. hahaha.







in all, i feel that unless you are towing kids along, just give Legoland a miss. or more time to hopefully improve their existing infrastructure. especially if you're looking for an adrenaline rush. also, when i was there, i spent 45 mins queuing for the observatory tower and roller coaster. that is nothing for a theme park since i queued way more for Transformers in USS. BUT THE THING IS, THE RIDES BOTH BROKE DOWN. so i queued for 90 mins odd in total AND i was told that the rides broke down, TWICE. so definitely NOT a good experience -.-

though i'm pretty sure kids will love that place, broken rides or not.

JB RUSH

went to JB with the folks today.! its getting to be a family pig-out day. if i was an only child, which i am not thankfully, so its more of a parents-bond-with-cutest-girl-child trip. hahaha. cause im the only girl child = im the cutest. and the ugliest too. fml.

a day trip across the causeway to a land of yummy food and relaxing walks. i like the food there. the way its cooked by individual owners of the stalls instead of foreign workers who work for Kopitiam or Koufu who most probably don't even have much experience or know whatever they're cooking.

as per most food posts, i'll eat them before remembering to take photos. hahaha. shall try to fix that habit. or solve this persistent problem by eating twice.

problem solving skills of a computing student = epic. ( ̄▽ ̄)

kopi peng is a must-haveeee.! can see remnants of my braised duck/pig organs dish. similar style to kway chap but way yummier.!

random pikachu signboard at a japanese restaurant. hahaha.

MEESUAH. i love love love meesuah.!!! the soup is herbal too so it felt like HP++. i like wandering into these super ulu shops that look run-down cause their food are always epic yummy. and nope i'm not going to talk about hygiene or whatever thing. #denial.

barley to reduce caffeine intake. heh.

shopping at JB is a hit or miss thing. i spent a hell lot at KSL but Holiday Plaza bored me to tears. they have retailers like Parkson's(similar to Metro) but many mini shops. mini shops are greattt. let me gush about how great it is.! in Singapore, the shops are like Zara, TopShop, F21,Mango. like wtf srsly. look down the whole of Orchard.


every damn mall they build just house the same damn retailers. the amount of independent shops are ridiculously paling in comparison.

grossly exaggerated but this is how i feel at times. (TーT)

 so i was at CitySquare today and i found this hidden shop. fine it is in plain sight but the thing is the outside appearance and what the mannequins had on were so different from what was hanging on the racks inside.! it had the cutest collection of stuff ever.! strange, kooky, vintage-style and all one piece from random assortment of brands.

a black lace+sweetheart top+skater bottom+cute ribbon dress caught my eye but was too fat to fit. sian level = MAX. the zip went up up then STOP. wtf. like a SMRT train. fml. (TーT) so cute and definitely wont clash with people here. oh wells. there are weird stuff but if you dig, there are nice stuff to be found.!!! at reasonable prices too. points+++

got this pair of black scalloped shorts and the best thing ever, A ONE PIECE PENCIL BOX. AHAHAHA HOW NICE. LOVE IT. I DONT EVEN USE PENCIL BOXES. HECK. NOW I WILLLL. got a bunch of other stuff for post-xmas too. heh.

so cute so cute.!

ehhh, to bump my own doodles, drew a mermaid.!

 its uhm. a clownfish mermaid. i need color pencils.

im on a mission to use a mask from each brand ive hoarded now. then decide which is best for my skin. heh.
