Exploring LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort in Johor Bahru

-
Nusa Bestari Highway going to LEGOLAND:
Malaysia is a place where you can see a lot of beautiful things. This country offers a wide variety of food selections as well as places of interests for you to relax and unwind. But did you know that Malaysia is also one the few counties worldwide that has a lot of public holidays? Yes. It is.. This country has about 15 public holidays’ days in one year.  
LEGOLAND: Finally we're here. 

 Anyway, speaking of public holidays, my director gave to me an invitation which is supposed to be for her to visit LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort for its 5th Year Anniversary Celebration.  My director is really nice. She cares for her staff. She even said to me, "bring your wife and your son, they will surely enjoy it." So I contact one of the team (Ms Owi) from LEGOLAND about this matter and to my surprise, she gave us a combo ticket to enter LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort Water Park and Theme Park.

We went to LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort on that Friday morning (which is a public holiday). The weather forecast shows that it will rain on that morning. So we decided to go first to their LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort Water Park to look around (since it is raining,  I brought with me my big umbrella).


Water Park Exploration

Fronting LEGOLAND Water Park
LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort Water Park is an awesome place to have fun. We had our water park exploration at their LEGO wave pool and its really amazing. The pool has an artificial waves. My son likes it. He enjoyed the place despite the weather condition on that day. The management has assigned a group of lifeguard to secure the safety of their guests as well.
The Water Park has various adventures to offer. They have:
Father and Son at LEGOLAND Water Park LEGO Wave Pool 
  •       LEGO slides
  •      Brick Blaster
  •      Splash N’ Swirl
  •      Tidal Tube
  •      Twin Chasers
  •       Splash out
  •       DUPLO splash Safari
  •       Build A boat
  •       Red Rush
  •       Joker Soaker

We enjoyed ourselves at their LEGO wave pool. It is my son's first time to play in a pool with an artificial waves. Since my wife does not have her swimming attire on that day, she was just within the shore. She ended up to be our photographer to capture our moment as father and son.  Of course, I also managed to get good shots of her and my son playing together especially at their Duplo Kids Safari where there are a lot of Lego blocks for them to play with.


My son enjoyed his first day of swimming at LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort Water Park, but I have to bring him up and dry him up. It is not good for him to be playing with water for the whole day.  We went to a corner where there are a lot of reclining chairs to rest and feed him for his lunch.

By the way, when entering LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, you are not allowed to bring in any food except for drinks (still subject to their rules and regulations). But for us, before we entered the resort, I asked permission to one of their counter staff to bring in the lunch pack food for my son.  

We just spend a few hours at their Water Park, we went out to go to the Dry Theme Park. Since it is a public holiday, a lot of people were already inside the Dry Theme Park.


 Dry Theme park

This place is very good for everyone to enjoy various types of adventures.  LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort Theme Park has about 40 shows, rides and attractions for everyone to enjoy.

LEGOLAND started its operation since 2012 in Malaysia with its Dry Theme Park only. A year after, LEGOLAND Water Park came in to give more splash adventures to tourists and other guests. In the same year, LEGOLAND introduced their hotel to cater the needs of their guest for a place to stay after a whole day at their Dry Theme Park and Water Park.


Mini-land in LEGOLAND
In 2014, LEGOLAND Mini-land was set up. The structures within the Mini-land was made out of Lego bricks to give additional attraction to their theme park. It offers different Lego models of famous landmarks in Malaysia, and other Asian countries like Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand and some parts of the world like China and India. 


Taj Mini-land in LEGOLAND
In 2015, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort bring in Ninjago Live at their LEGOLAND City stage. This is an interactive High-octane Ninja action for everyone to enjoy. On the same year, LEGOLAND movie came in 4D. The Istana Besar, the grand palace of Johor comes as an additional attraction at their Mini-land attraction.

In 2016, Ninjago ride come in to the picture to give more exiting ride to everyone.  And now, 2017, LEGOLAND celebrate its 5th year anniversary in the month of September.  


LEGO Characters

I and my wife managed to witness the dance move of their characters and their effort was really amazing. Their LEGO mascots can really dance.

Anyway, LEGOLAND will always be a LEGOLAND with a lot of surprises for their guests.

Gentle and Calm Gynae Specialist in Johor Bahru Found in Kempas Medical Centre

Ready to go inside Delivery Suite.  As an expat parent living in Malaysia, perhaps this write-up can help everyone to decide where to deliver their most precious little ones. This time around, allow me to express my notes of experiences with one of the best Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O & G) in Johor Bahru or perhaps in Malaysia for his gentle and good coaching during the delivery of our second baby at Kempas Medical Centre in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. By the time we suspected that we have a new baby, it was actually Dr. Kevin Bartholomew Lawson who confirmed it. From there, we continued to monitor the growth and development of our baby from 6 weeks old onwards until we finally heard our baby’s heartbeat, identified her gender, and monitored her weight until she was finally delivered.   I was at my workplace when my wife told me that her contraction comes in frequently. I packed my things and ask permission from my superior to have an early time off. My ...

Photo By Zougart Peru If you are a working professional, couple, student, foreigner, tourist, or a local from Johor, Singapore, or from Kuala Lumpur,  I would like to share my travelling experience with the Express Bus Service of “Causeway Link - The Smiling Bus” during our short holiday in Kuala Lumpur during the Labour Day. First, I searched online about the ins and outs of Johor Bahru (JB)  as well as on how to go to Kuala Lumpur via public transport to visit my embassy and other places of interest like the iconic Petronas Tower or Twin Tower, Menara Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves, and a lot more.

Experiencing Melaka

"Melaka" or "Malacca" is the same, but for me, I will address this as Melaka following how it is known in Malaysia. Melaka is known as one of the World Heritage sites by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization otherwise known as UNESCO. This city comprises approximately 214.6 ha  in two protected areas within the city's conservation zone demarcated by Melaka River and the second area is the Historic Residence and Commercial Zone comprising 600 shop houses, commercial and residential buildings. This city is really a wonderful place to experience different historical attractions, food, museums, activities, animal encounters and a lot more. For me, I will highlight my trip in this city starting with the famous Melaka River Cruise. I visited this after Chinese New Year together with my wife and father in-law and this was one of the most memorable experiences I had in this trip. I was able to visit and had a grasp about...
