We planned a 1 week staycation for the kids since nathanael don't have a passport to travel and with the "bersih" rally going on in Malaysia we have decided to skip the thought of going across the border all together.
So rws became the next best option. We had great fun at universal studios where nathan demonstrated his bravery by sitting on some of the more extreme rides like the transformer simulator and puss n boots giant journey. He was unafraid of the rides and kept his eyes opened to fully submerge himself in the special effects. Natalie on the other hand was really frightened by the simulator which loses control to the spinning turbine and experienced a steep downward drop. The little girl had her hands over her tightly shut eyes half the time and i had to tell her that it's over before she reopens her eyes again. Such a cutie! So when asked what's her favourite rides, her answer was sesame street galaxy ride, which is the safest ride that is available in uss and she went on it repeatedly for 4 rounds at least.
Steven Spielberg's movie magic studio was an eye opener for the kids. Though natalie is seeing this for the 3rd time each impression was different. Although we all know that the set is surreal, the kids get to experience what a real typhoon may feel like and Natalie pointed out how blessed we are to be living in a country that is geographically well protected from the natural elements. Nathan concurred with this conclusion and reiterated the fact that fire is dangerous and we shouldn't play with it. How impressive!
We were at sea aquarium and adventure cove waterpark over the next couple of days. The children enjoyed the outdoor water park.we were fortunate that the weather remained sunny albeit slight haziness, residual from previous day where it hit a high psi of 160. I considered ourselves blessed to have such a wonderful time at the resort!
