DAY ONE - We enter the Puteri Harbour Theme Park at 10am.

TIPS :
1) Check with information Counter what is the Current OFFER and Promotion before purchase your tickets (We miss a FREE 1 hour evening show for 3 tickets purchased)
2) May suggest to fill your kids stomach in full before enter the Park.
3) Foods and Drink is STRICTLY not allow to bring in the parl.

TICKETS
We bought the Little Big Club Ticket only, because we felt the 2 Parks ticket price is too expensive at RM110.00 regardless you are adult or children. After considering, my kids will not really have enough time to play on two parks since they need to eat their lunch and have an afternoon nap in Hotel. (I have a 24 months boy to enter together into the Club at Free of charge)

We bough our 4 tickets with price of 3 for the Little Big Club, no offer for HelloKitty Town.

1) NTUC Link card will enjoy the Buy 3 Free 1 offer for Little Big Club, end Jun 2013.
2) Malaysian My-Kad (IC) will pay a cheaper ticket price, please refer to Ticket Prices.
3) Legoland Pass Holder will enjoying 10% on the ticket and RHB credit card holder will giving discount at 15% discount.

My hubby and I felt ridiculous on the high price for such a small Theme Park, level 2 is Hello kitty Town (lot of peoples is queuing), level 2 & 3 is The Little Big Club houses for children's characters, Bob the Builder®, Barney®, Angelina Ballerina®, Pingu® and Thomas & Friends here.

ACTIVITIES
Little Big Club – Surprisingly they are enjoyed playing around and worth our money.

LUNCH in the Little Big Club
12.30pm, we bought 2 burgers for the kids to eat at price of RM 9.90 each. Probably the kids are too hungry and enjoying their lunch on this lousy burger.

You may have few option to looking for food here : -
1) Buffet Dinner in the Hotel price at @75.00 ++ (Recommended if you are a big eater, it worth the money)
2) Simple food at the Little Big Club Street
3) The food hawker besides the Harbour, go down the escalator opposite the Lat’s Restaurant. The food commented by my friends as just for filling up your stomach, which means so so...

After the dinner i have a tea session with my friends at Lobby Cafe in the Hotel.

400Million Years Old Limestones Hill at Sungai Lembing Kuantan - Gua Charas Year 2013

This cave is located at the main road from Kuantan to Sungai Lembing (C4). Refer to my photo attached here on the signboard at the Y-Junction Jln. Gua Charas.

Turn right go thru a Mosque and some oil palm plantation then you will reach this Cave, refer to beow photo for the cave.

Bukit Charas (Charas Cave) is believe a 400 million years old limestone and granite massif up to at least 355 metres high.

Suggestion reaching time is in the morning around 10am at the car park. You will have to pay RM2 to enter the cave. Its take us about 30 - 45 mins to climb up the stairs case then enter into the cave. We have small kids along and takes a longer time to walk. The reason of reaching at this time, you will have a chance to view the Sun shine from a small hole from top of the Cave shine directly on the Sleeping Buddha (Time is around 11am - 12pm), refer to my photo.

The surrounding have bats on top, some water dripping around and it is still very natural and unexplore by the tourist compare to the Gua Tempurung at Ipoh (May refer to my another Blog)

Besides, you can also hike up to the peek of another "porthole" for a higher view of the surrounding (the junction is before you go down the cave).Refer to the photo shown below.

Have an different experience at this Limestones cave before you go to Sungai Lembing.

Am I A Kiasu Parent In Singapore ?

I think I am a Kiasu Mommy, however my hubby is not a Kiasu Singaporean. Aren't you felt very conflict on my statement?

Yes, I am. This had always make us have argument on our kids education learning path.

I wish my kids can read their-self when they are turning Age 5. But my hubby just want them to have a normal life as other children, follow the government syllabubs instead.

Due to I am a working mother I have no time to monitor their learning progress. The only things I can do is flooded my house with tons of books and hopefully to get their interest to read. However, not every single books is worth to buy or either can attract their attention. What I can say is you need to pay for it then you know what book they may like to read.

I will recommend some books which my children love to read in the future.

From the photo below, you will see my Age 2 boy is climbing up a stool and read for his 2 months old sister by his initiative.

Today is the first day of the new year, I have draft out my new year wish for myself and kids.

Tricia also wrote down her wish, her new year wish is :

My baby sister will not make her eyes spoil and would not need to wear spectacles.
Another wish is my little brother does not need to go for operation [Eyes Squint Surgery].
