Went to A'Famosa with our dear friends and kids on 07th March. Was expecting to jam in the second link due to tight security. However to our suprise we zipped pass the both custom without any jam or quene (approx. 15mins). So we quickly to hit the road and it takes us 1hr plus to reach rest area. An to our horror...an aircon foodcourt are invaded by HOUSEFLIES. Think these houseflies want to escape the HOT weather outside and toilet are ways too clean for them hence decided to move indoor. Imagine you have to wave your hand in the air while eating (to fans the flies away from your food)...quite an experience. Well i must said that they have tried to improve the area but they have to find ways to get rid of those HOUSEFLIES causes putting more insecticides and lizards (too many flies via lizards) does not helps. Anyway having alot of lizards in the area are equally bad....errr. Spend another couple of hours on the road and we finally arrived at A'Famosa ard 5pm. Wow...the condo (3 bedrooms, living, kitchen, and balcony)are pretty nice for 3 family. Just too bad that we can't cook. After settle down, we head down to COW BOY TOWN where there's live COWBOY's dance performance by the local. Not too bad...just some of them looks very tired lor. Besides, it takes almost 30mins for us to get the tickets as the staff DON'T know how to operate a credit card machine...sigh!!! Once inside, we started to look for food we went to this CHINESE restaurant whom does not served meat but then hor they have breakfast with EGGS, sausages, and chicken?????
So we hopped to next door for Western food, the group have almost occupied the whole restaurant. We have ordered steak - medium rare but it turns out to well done. My friend then tell the waitress to change and when she informed the kitchen staff. The staff just can't understand what is medium rare lor...very funny lor... Anyway don't expect any good nice food, it is just enough to fill the stomach.. : (.
After the dinner, head down to the carnival areas when we take picture with real tiger (of course it is chained down to the bench). I must said that carnival was the BEST out of the whole trip. It started with RED INDIAN shown where they have fire display, then they have similiar to CHINGGAY with alot of animals like pigeons flying out from the warehouse, cowboy on the horses, water bufflos with carts, dogs running ard, camel walking the parade, monkey riding tricycle, but the most funny ones are having CHICKEN running to the race ends. It is very entertaining especially for the kids. Then come the part when adults (males only lor) where there alot of girls in sexy costume or clowns with SUPER big boots and buttock. Almost come to the end there are this FIREWORK display that lasts for at least more than 5mins. It is so good that we went back the following day to see the display from OUTSIDE....hee zero costs..
On the day 2, we went to the water world and to my horror the water is very musky and smelly. Think it have not be cleaned for long times. However, to avoid disappointment all of us just proceed to the pools. Most of the rides are not properly maintained hence when we have tried out almost 4 to 5 rides we have decided to stop. So we tried out the lazy pools and it is really not very lazy enough for us as we have to paddle abit to move forward. Hence we just go and tried out the wave pool again not very wavery. What worst had happened on me...was that i have developed skin allergy or rashes by insect bites over my leg and arm. Then Ian started to have them on the day 3 when we heading home. It takes us almost two weeks to remove fully lor.
Overall, we have enjoyed the trip because we have our dear friends' accompany..
Here come the chicken run
Waiting and waiting for the transport...
Still waiting for the banana bus..
Cow boys / girls dance.. hmm seem weird
Prices abit high but who really care now as food selectiona are limited.
Not very easy to take pictures for these kids who are moving so fast
Took these pictures on day 2 as day 1 my camera battery flat.
Hmm..forget to take the main entrance on the day of arrival hence take it when we leaving : )
