Review : KL Bird Park

Few weeks back, we visited the KL Bird Park.  The last time I entered the bird park was when I was in my teens and now entering as a mother. 

I brought the GB Pockit stroller along and I must say this is one place that is super stroller friendly.  So no worries of stairs and such. 

For more information about the admission fees and so on, please visit their website before going. 

It was my girl's and nephew's first bird park visit.  My girl was excited in the beginning, with birds roaming freely and peacocks greeting you from everywhere, and not behind cages.

Then at the convenience shop, we got ice creams and suddenly this peacock was so interested to eat it.  When I was getting the wet wipes out of my bag, this peacock pecked at her ice cream which she was holding in her hand while sitting on the stroller.  I was paranoid about bird flu and immediately gave the whole ice cream to it.  So I decided to buy another ice cream in a cup for my girl and while I was away, the same peacock decided to ask my girl for more and peck on her leg.  I believed it was a soft peck, but my girl was frightened by it and started screaming and holding her legs up.

After that, she refused to sit on the stroller and insist on being carried.  So poor me, have to carry her and walking around the bird park until I managed to convince her to sit on the stroller again.

I hope she is not scared and scarred by the peacock for life.

Overall, I think the bird park is a very nice place for the kids to go.  We went in the afternoon about 3pm, so it was very, very hot. 

Except the part where the peacock pecked at my girl in a friendly manner, I think she did enjoy the trip.  We didn't manage to visit everything and every bird, mainly because it was super hot and we were losing our minds in the heat and a fussy baby.

If you are thinking of a place to go during the weekends, instead of hitting the shopping malls, this is a good, educational place to go.  Highly recommended.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
