2 Days 1Night at JB - Hello Kitty Land & Aeon

7:01 AM 0 Comments
We wanted a short getaway.  A getaway which both parents and children can enjoy, and we decided on Hello Kitty Land.Before we can exhaust the energy of the kids, we had to intake some food to top up the kids' everlasting energy.
We stopped by Shoon Huat Bak Kut Teh 顺发肉骨茶
Add: 13, Jalan Sutera 1, Taman Sentosa, 80150 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia
This is the first time for the kids, and my friends and the helpers.  This is not your typical Singaporean pepper bak kut teh. I felt that it is more flavourful and unique to the taste. 

The kids were jumping up and down, upon hearing Hello Kitty land. Papa Koh bought the tickets online.

I was not exactly a Hello Kitty fan, however, was surprisingly greeted by the 3 storeys of entertainment and amusement for the kids. It started off with photo taking, which warmed the kids up. 
Followed by cookie making at Wish Studio, which is located near the entrance. I haven't done it before, it was also interesting to me as an adult. I wanted to be the mummy who let the child get creative, but I can't help to guide Adele to have a nice cookie, and after which, I allow them free play. Guess what, kids being kids, Royce added more chocolate chips to his cookie. 
Adele's Hello Kitty has a mole near her eyes, 
while as Royce added more chocolate to his Hello Kitty cookie, 
to make it taste yummy.

Not only the kids had fun, the adults toyed around with the cookie. We had to queue again for the badge making in the same studio, perhaps to have better crowd control quality. 
The kids have a creative way of colouring, But I do love it because there is only one kind of badge for each kid. 
Walking along the park, we headed our way to Kitty's house,  Kitty house looks like a dream house, with large dining table and a large bathtub. A Kitty's fan can take photos of her heart's desire in that house. The kids loved the props and pose along for our cameras.

When we came out, it was a nice timing to catch Kitty's Purrfect Stage performance. It was a first time hearing Daniel's voice and catching him a long wallet in his back pocket. (we have a very beng Kitty here) 
All the kids were watching attentively, as the Kittys swung and danced. After the concert ends, the  kids dashed into the indoor playground, as it is a natural thing. 
Overwhelmed by the balls, the adults decided to throw the balls at each other. While the kids are entertained by picking up the balls and putting into the container that pressure mechanism that make the balls float into the long pipe and releasing it into the playground again.

My daughter is below 90cm , for your reference.
                                            
The tea cups rides allow the kids to move the steering wheel and rotate the cup at the same time. The kids generally like to play the tea cup.
 
We managed to catch Barney show on time, proceed to another indoor playground and arcade games. Guess what? The Arcade games are free-flow till the children's heart content. 
While the common goal's of the parents to let the children have fun, the other objective is to let them sleep early that night. I concussed at Bob the Builder indoor playground , while the children energy are well spent. 


Entertaining them next , was Thomas the train, while the parents of little girls eagerly queued at Angelina Ballerina dance class. Those who waited patiently got their girls to put on the tutu skirt and the cute hairbands. They children were rewarded for their effort in their patience and dance by receiving a certificate. 

Are we done yet? No. Level 3 brought us to :
1) Windmill Station

2) Bertie the Bus sat the two families, including the adults. I am not going to hide, my inner kid self-enjoyed a lot.
3) Knapford Station Thomas Train Ride, as we boarded the train, we had a great view of the tunnel and massive Sodor Playground. 
Royce and Scarlett monkeying around Thomas the train.
And we are just excited to be on his backend passenger
4) Harold's Helitours ride is not for the motion sickness,  it has a handbrake bring the ride closer to the real thing. 
                                   
5) Colin Crane Drop Ride is strictly off limits for 90cm and below.  
While the adults feel chill and relax, the kids are so excited. 
                           
6) Sodor Playground is massive, I think the bigger kids can play by themselves. If not, the parents have to sit through the slides and climb and up and down with kids 

We went a recommended Coffeeshop and eat to the adults' heart content, fill the stomachs of the children. It is a rather family friendly place if you asked me.

After settling the kids, which took them a while to sleep. ( Mama Koh complains , see this is so much energy they have. ) The Jedis went out hunting for Star Wars at Aeon Mall Bukit Indah, LOT S51, Aeon Bukit Indah Shopping Centre, 8, Jalan Indah 15/2, Taman Bukit Indah, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia
The kids and Star Wars drained out our energy.
