lego land, here we come....

lego land, here we come......

 

weather is good today and we are making our trip up north to the long await lego land. meet up jiali and family for breakfast before we drive up. traffic is not too bad at the checkpoint too. we missed the turn to lego land and make a big round back before we hit lego land.

 

lego express

the kids are so excited about the trip. we took all the rides that was available for their age and cover the whole of lego land (appropriate for their age). the queue for the rides range from 15 mins to 45 mins as stated on the sign at each ride. we didn't really time to check if the queue timing is as what is stated but its doesn't seems to long a wait though. for a school holiday fri, i think the wait is pretty reasonable. the park is not overly packed too. you will also notice that the crowd sort of die off by around 4pm.

 

driving at the junior driving school

we took some of the rides twice as requested by the kids. rides and activities suitable for young children of 2 and 4 years old includes:

• lego city airport
• junior driving school
• boating school
• lego rescue academy
• lego express
• duplo express
• observation tower
• duplo playtown
• musical fountain
• beetle bounce
• the shipyard
• miniland

we had upgraded our day pass to annual pass at the end of the day. we were there from 11am to 7pm. the kids were dead tired. fall asleep immediately when they were in the car. we will definitely come back for more fun.

chan brother fair

we went down to suntec to the chan brothers fair today. we are planning for our year end trip. we queued up to get the queue number to make enquires for free & easy new zealand and was told by the lady that we had to come back tomorrow. we were shocked to hear that and out immediate reaction was, tomorrow still have meh? she told us there were over 300 people (these 300 people were also queuing for new zealand) before us and they won't be able to clear all enquires before they closed for the day. but we can bring the queue number and go down to their office in chinatown tomorrow to get the same promotion. 

 

however, we did went in and manage to get a brochure on their package. after looking at it, we decided not to go to chan brothers tomorrow. maybe we have to change our destination for year end. maybe some place nearer and cheaper.

boycott them

we went to make our balance payment for our honeymoon at the travel agency yesterday. we were shocked to hear that we can't make payment via credit card cos they don't absorb the 2.5% service charges by credit card company. so they wanted us to make payment via cash or nets. if we were to make payment via credit card, we have to bear the 2.5% charges. i was like why didn't anyone inform us of this company policy that you had. and we do make our first payment via credit card during the travel fair. nothing of such had been mention to us.

then the lady showed us our receipt and said that its all stated in the receipt. i almost wanted to yell her, who had ever looked at their receipt after making payment. the only time that i will look at the receipt carefully there's when i think i have been overcharged. if not, i will throw the receipt away the moment i received it from the sales person. with this, i only can blame it on ourselves for not looking at all the words that is printed on that receipt.

however, i still can't accept the fact that such a big travel agency actually want us consumers to absorb the credit card charges on our own. if now, we had booked this tour with any small little or unknown travel agent, i would have no complaints and understand why. definitely not from them

anyway, no more future trips to be booked with them. i'm so upset with them. so please do take note that if you are planning to pay your trip via credit card first, then never booked with them.

back to work

i'm back at work today and tomorrow. i had only been away for about a week and already don't feel like coming back at all.

i think i will feel even more worse when i'm back from taiwan trip. going to travel agent to make the balance payment for our honeymoon later. i'm going to buy the necessary toiletries too for both the malaysia drive and taiwan trip. getting ready to pack and leave for our honeymoons......

how i wish today is thursday and we can leave tomorrow.
