A day at Legoland~

So.. Recently (just on monday actually), me and a couple of my friends went on a mini getaway to LEGOLAND.

Just wanted to share a bit from a teenager's perspective. Took many pretty pictures so wanted to post them up as well!

We 3 brave girls went to take malaysia's public bus. So basically, it's actually quite easy, after coming out from the Malaysia Checkpoint (from Woodlands checkpoint), walk towards the direction of City Square Mall and before going indoors to this air-conditioned place (where's there's Starbucks at the entrance) you can see the bus terminal just an escalator down away on your left. The bus we took had a timing schedule and we caught the 11am one and we were actually a little early that day. There's a number of buses you can take from Malaysia to Legoland which you may refer to here http://www.legoland.com.my/plan/bus-services/, we took bus LM1.

The public bus is actually quite clean imo, except for the baby cockroach that I saw.

The bus took roughly around 45 mins to an hour to reach Legoland which I thought was quite long. But nevertheless, we reached our destination! :D

The hotel which is set to open in 2014, looking cute.. Took this picture when we were in the tower

At this time the Legoland Waterpark is already open but we didn't choose to go there. Somehow it looks rather small despite being the World's Largest Legoland Waterpark..

There were so many LEGO figurines around the whole park which I really liked:) Some could "talk" as well!

A section of the park is "LEGO Kingdoms" and had a really nice castle theme to it.

A few of the rides that we took. Frankly speaking, the rides weren't as "kiddy" as I thought it would be, some were actually quite thrilling! Like the "Lego Technic", I really liked this one.

A really cute firefighter station!! They had a ride there, which was more like a game where you had to move the firetruck forward and spray the hose to extinguish the "fire" hahaha. Too bad my video of Sharon and Alexis playing it was ruined somehow. :(

The railway station!!!

Some mummy ride that we didn't take but it really reminds of the ride we have at USS.

Here comes the most interesting part (at least to me) of Legoland,.......................... the Mini Land!!!

I was so captivated by the intriged design of the whole thing! Look at Singapore!! The merlion, the Singapore Flyer, the Raffles place towers, Clarke Quay and it's tiny boats, there's even an SBS that moves!

Haha just found everything so fascinating..

Parts of Malaysia, which I didn't recognised, but the cruise and aeroplane were really nice. Not to forget the Petronas Twin Tower! :)

We spent our last 30 minutes at the MiniLand, everything was just so breathtaking, it was like taking a mini-tour around the world! Places that I never get to visit.

And thanks God the weather was great that day, weirdly the sun was the hottest when it was mid-noon..

Lunch-tip: Try to visit "Mall of Medini" located just outside the Themepark. It's not exactly a mall but there's way more choices of food outside (we had Secret Recipe for lunch and Black Ball for dessert) and the prices are the relatively reasonable.

Last but not least, dont forget to visit the stores there, they sell everything from Lego keychains, mugs, eraser, tumblr, figurine keychains etc which were all so cute :D

That's all for my mini get-away, now, back to work!
