Free Kiddy Rides at Giant Bandar Kinrara

Yesterday, Mommy told Papa that Mommy has to go to a Guardian store to buy Pediasure because Guardian was holding a 2-day sale selling 2 tins of Pediasure (900 g each) for RM109.00. And if Mommy used the CIMB credit card on Sunday to make purchases in Guardian, Mommy would enjoy a 5% rebate, which meant that Mommy actually had to pay only RM103.55 or RM51.78 per tin. That's still cheaper than paying RM53.90 per tin of Pediasure in Chinese medical hall, but of course is still not as cheap as RM50 per tin offered by Carrefour last time. So Papa decided to take Mommy to the Guardian store in Giant Bandar Kinrara.

After making the Pediasure purchase (Mommy bought 4 tins!), we went window shopping in Giant and then headed for the highest floor where there is a kids' playland. Now that Juan Or is already able to walk, Mommy was eager to see Juan Or's response at the playland.

The first item Mommy brought Juan Or to play was the spring-rocking animal. The distance between the handle bar and the seat was a little far apart, but still manageable for Juan Or. It's just that Mommy had to keep a watchful eye on him in case he slipped down - to which he did, but luckily his hands were still holding the handle bar, so he did not really fall. Watch this video:


After the spring-rocking animal, Papa signalled to Mommy to quickly bring Juan Or to a kiddy ride car that was still moving. Papa actually 'booked' the kiddy car after a little girl left the car. This particular kiddy car has no coin box near it, so it was free, but the car didn't have any accompanying music. Who cares? What more can you ask for since it's free, right? That was when Mommy realized that Giant Bandar Kinrara's playland actually offers free kiddy rides. Watch Juan Or 'driving' the F1 kiddy car:

After the F1 kiddy car ride, Mommy took Juan Or to play the playland structures. Juan Or was a little uncertain at first when climbing up the stairs, but once there, he loosened up a bit but Mommy can still feel some awkwardness in him moving along the play structures - no wonder because this was his first time.

After coming down from the play structures, Papa told Mommy that apparently the other kiddy rides neighbouring to the F1 kiddy car are free as well. At one glance, you can see a coin box-like thing next to the kiddy rides, but turned out they are all free to ride on! All you have to do is just press a button on the body of the kiddy ride and voila, it moves! So there you have it, Juan Or gets to ride two other kiddy rides for free - one is a car with accompanying music and another is a friendly crocodile.

An Outing on King's Birthday

Last week Saturday (6th June 2009) was Agong (King's)'s Birthday. It was a public holiday so Mommy didn't have to go teach piano in the afternoon. The entire day was a free day for Mommy (and the babysitter of course!), so Papa and Mommy took Juan Or for an outing.


Our first destination was to Mommy's colleague's wedding lunch in Puri Pujangga of UKM. We were among the earliest to reach there so we had some time to ourselves in the carpark. Mommy put Juan Or at the steering because Juan Or was so eager to 'drive'. Shown here are photos of Juan Or happily 'driving' away.






However, upon stepping into the wedding reception, Mommy totally forgot to take photos - partly because Mommy was engrossed with eating and also chewing food to feed Juan Or. However, luckily Mommy's colleague took one photo. Here it is.





After that, some of Mommy's colleagues arrived and greeted and patted Juan Or. How Juan Or hated attention from strangers! Juan Or immediately started crying! Oh dear! What an anti-social baby! So Mommy brought Juan Or around for a walk while Papa quickly ate (it was a buffet lunch). Along the way, one of Mommy's colleague tried to bribe Juan Or with a chocolate, but Juan Or just could not be bribed! After that Mommy passed Juan Or to Papa while Mommy ate quickly. While Mommy ate, Juan Or continued to fret and cry so Papa had to bring him out of the wedding reception and waited in the car. After eating, Mommy thanked the host and left. All in all, that was just about 30 minutes spent in the wedding reception!




After the wedding reception, we headed to Giant Kinrara for window shopping. By then, Juan Or had calmed down. Papa and Mommy took Juan Or to try the kids' playland located at the 3rd floor. Shown here are snapshots of Juan Or driving the fire engine kiddy ride.










By the way, Mommy noticed that the stroller bought for Juan Or is increasingly less used nowadays because Juan Or is already able to sit up in shopping carts......











....unless Juan Or needs to sleep!
