Travel: A weekend with Disney on Ice in Penang

I've been looking forward for this day!  It was a surprised trip for Aisyah.  She had no idea when I woke her up early on Saturday morning.  Showered. Breakfast. Then we drove to KLIA2 and she was already excited.

"Yeayyyy kita naik kapal terbang ke ibu?"

We board on 10.40am flight to Penang.  She still had no idea.  She just enjoyed the plane ride.  We arrived Penang airport around 11.40am.  Awai gila kot.  Our show is at 3pm.  Cari cafe kat airport dok lepak makan minum dulu.  Pekena karipap dan kuih ketayap sorang seketoi.

iklan milo sat naaaa

Dalam pukui 1pm kami dah bosan kat airport, we took a taxi to SPICE Arena Penang, it was known as PISA (Penang International Sports Arena).  Taxi fare was RM31.50.  Dekat je dalam 11 minutes away tapi sebab mai dari airport so kira tambang pun standard airport lah.

naik taxi pun excited minah ni.

Sampai kat SPICE Arena tu pintu belum buka untuk show pukui 3.  Kami pun pi melepak makan waffle kat Waffle Factory.  Waffle dia mmg sangat sedap tak terkata!!

Salted caramel waffle with chocolate chips

Memang sedap! Harga RM15.90

When the door opened, kami pun masuk lah merayau kat lobby hall tu tgk ada byk booth untuk perabih duit aku.  She bought Rapunzel's hair harga RM40.  Mula2 dia nak rambut Elsa tapi sebab harga RM50, dapat rambut Rapunzel pun happy dah.

Beratur dalam 30 minutes akhirnya dapat la masuk dlm hall.  Sebab kami di antara orang paling depan, dapat lah pilih seats yang best sikit.  Tapi jauh lah dari stage sebab beli tiket yang paling murah je...RM80 per person.

Dok tanya "bila nak start ni ibu" 80 kali dok tanya soalan sama

ni gambar dari scene rapunzel tgk lantern masa birthday dia. ingat tak scene ni?

nak tunjuk rambut dia pun sama mcm rapunzel

ni scene menari masa anna jumpa prince jahat tu

ni scene kampung depa kena sumpahan salji queen elsa

 Tak sangka show tu sampai 2 jam! Keluar SPICE dalam 5pm.  Flight kami balik KL pukui 6.35!! Ya Allah, I didn't expect it was so difficult to get a cab from the arena.  Especially with such event, I thought the taxi drivers will be queueing outside the hall.  5.45pm baru dapat taxi.  Mujur lah airport tak jauh.  Abam taxi tu pun sangat baik dok menyabarkan aku.  "sempat ni puan jangan risau".  Tambang taxi dari arena ke airport is flat rate at RM20.

Alhamdulillah.  We arrived the airport at 6pm terus berlari cari gate.  Tersilap gate!! Berlari cari gate lagi.  Sekali flight delay daaaaaaa......alhamdulillah....kalau tak mmg sah dah terlepas flight dah. At last, we departed around 7.15pm from Penang to KLIA.

Sampai KLIA2, masing2 kelaparan singgah makan KFC then cari kereta terus balik.  Sampai rumah both tido pengsan kepenatan.  It was tiring but I hope she really enjoyed the surprised trip to meet her favourite cartoon characters - Ariel, Belle, Elsa, Anna, Mickey & Minnie MOuse, and many more! The best part was,  we met Olaf!!! I know she enjoyed it.  Because I do enjoy the show very much! Thank you Disney.  Mai la Malaysia lagi ye.

School holiday: The monkeys and the fireflies of Kuala Selangor

Penat sangat hari-hari tengok hutan batu dan sedut asap kereta di KL ni.  Bila tiba cuti sekolah, masalah yang sama je "apa nak buat?" "mana nak pi?" nak pi cuti-cuti mmg mahal lah kan kalau dah berempat beranak ni.

So, cuti sekolah terbaru ni, CWR terjumpa tempat yang best utk bawak anak2 budak bandar ni untuk explore nature.  Mai lah tgk agenda kami:

Saturday, 19 Mar 2016
3pm - kami bergerak dari KL ke Bukit Malawati, Kuala Selangor. Perjalanan dari KL cuma dalam 1 hour je melalui PLUS hiway, then LATAR hiway.  Anak2 bandar tu dah membebel gak bila nak sampai ni ibu.

4pm - sampai je sana kami singgah beli tudung kat depan entrance Bukit Malawati tu.  Sebab CWR pakai shawl jurai2 kang takut kena tarik dek monyet plak.  Lepas tu kami pi beli tiket tram.  Harga dalam RM5.30 for adult and RM3.30 for children.  Lepas tu kami dok beli air minum dan jajan sambil tunggu tram sampai.

Seronok anak2 bandar tu naik tram! sampai atas bukit lagi la excited tgk berpuluh-puluh maybe beratus monyets!! Kami beli beberapa guni kecik buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran utk kenduri monyets.  Ada pisang, ubi, kangkong, kacang panjang, kacang tanah....wah rasa macam nak main masak2!

Aku tak tau mana satu aliff mana satu monyet

tetiba ramai plak anak2 aku hari ni

Tak banyak gambar pon sebab takut kena perambat dgn monyets nanti jahanam hp/camera! Sebelum kami pun jadi monyets, kami naik tram untuk turun dari bukit.  Cik Abam Aliff pun dah puas explore photography skills dia.  Cik blondie tu dah puas menjerit kena kejar monyets.   Sampai bawah, cik adik manis bertiga singgah masjid depan entrance bukit malawati utk solat Asar.  Sakit jantung woooo masa solat dengar monyets berlari atas bumbung masjid rasa macam nak runtuh!

Dalam pukul 6.45pm kami meninggalkan bukit malawati untuk ke Kampung Kuantan nak tgk fireflies.  Tak jauh pun dalam 11 minutes je tapi kami tersesat barat pusing kawasan kampung tu.

Sampai kat entrance tu, azan Maghrib pun berbunyi.  Singgahlah berjemaah kat masjid sebelah entrance tu dulu.  Alhamdulillah rezeki kami dapat berjemaah.  Lepas tu kami berjalan masuk ke jeti. Beli ticket sampan RM53 je.  Satu sampan muat 4 penumpang sahaja ye.  Lepas tu kami pakai jeket keselamatan dan beratur lah tunggu giliran.

Anak belanda pendek sangat tak muat masuk gambar

Mula2 budak2 ni kata, hek eleh...takde apa pun. Sampan pusing2 kat sini je ke??  Sekali bila dah naik sampan dan bergerak closer to the trees, WAAAAAAAA cantek sangat!!! macam pokok krismas! penuh dgn kelip2.  Abam sampan kata kalau nak best lagi datang masa takde bulan sebab lagi terang lampu kelip2 dan masa air pasang air naik tinggi so sampan boleh masuk sampai betul2 bawah pokok.  Tak pe laaaa...ini pun kami dah jakun dah bangggggg.  Dalam 30 minutes pusing2 naik sampan kat sungai tu, kami pun naik balik ke jeti.

Sebelum bergerak balik ke KL, kami singgah dinner at one of many restaurants kat Kuala Selangor tu.  Menu pilihan mestilah ikan bakar!

Perjalanan balik yang memenatkan tapi seronok.  Lebih memenatkan bila semua penumpang syok tido and I've to drive alone!
