So That's It!

Well! well! well! Whaddaya know

The holiday is drawing to an end. Time really flies fast and the weather is super super hot. Oh wow that was random.

Anyway, we didn't do much, but lazing around at home is just as fun, what more with my 5 kids, but we did do something educational, we went to the Petrosains.

Timing was really bad, the place was swarmed with people and even to get into the elevators took us a few rounds. Some people just don't make way to big family with small kids, they were strong men, young couples and teenagers, you guys takelah the escalator, why go and menyesakkan the lift, pushing and whatnot and you people didn't carry much barang anyway, compared to us with stroller and carrying another child who suddenly refused to walk as the crowd intimidate her and 3 other children notwithstanding tagging along. Sigh! Malaysians have become so selfish, so self-centred, they have lost their sense of empathy and sympathy, how to teach our kids good moral values when the adults don't behave like one. So dont go around and say 'kid nowadays are ruthless' or 'the younger generation is insolent' when you yourself not showing the good examples, you cut queues, you lack the p's and q's, you dont follow the signs when it says No Entry you still pass through, you take other people's parking without feeling remorse oh the list can go on and on. Oooppss...I digress.

So we reached there, all excited to get in at 12.30, when we were told the next available slot is at 3.00 pm. I wasn't happy as Hilman needed his nap but my hubby insisted that we proceed with the plan. As he's the one wearing pants, I will definitely lose. So to kill the time, we went to Kinokuniya, we had lunch, we prayed and we back there at 2.45. The queue was long and it took us almost more than half an hour to get inside. The kids were restless.

Once it was our time, the kids got excited again when they saw the gondola to take us inside. The ride was fun and very informative. Hubby and I were so impressed with the technology used. As we reached the exhibition area, the kids started to run around holding this and trying that unfortunately, they were just too many people, we can't really explore much as we had to wait for our turns to try out all the things there. Although, it was educational trip, we were not able to do much due to the number of people visiting Petrosains on that day.

Enjoy the pics:-

The children had loads of fun at the Space Station

We sure hope to come here again and the next time around we are going to do online booking so that we can get an earlier slot and get to explore and enjoy the things there more.
