Success journal 1187: Legoland weekend with Gerda and Alexander

After my Friday work, I crossed the straits of Johor on foot. Left work at 6pm, reached JB at 8pm, and mid alley, South Key, at 830pm. 

I gathered with my family, and we took a taxi to our Airbnb. Affinity residence next to Legoland. 

We got a 2-bedroom and 2-toilet Airbnb for about RM300 per night. The kids loved it. 

On day 1, we had a quick breakfast at home and walked to Legoland Water Park. The kids love it. We played until 4pm. Went back home to rest and get ready for our dinner. We had Korean cuisine at Jenny's restaurant near Bukit Indah. 

After our meal, we did a foot massage. The place has a TV, so the kids are entertained too. 

Day 2 Sunday, 

We woke up late, then drove to the attic. The food was good, and the service was so-so. After that, we went to Aeon Terbrau for go-karts. We spent the whole afternoon there and took the private hire back to JB. 

We left AEON at about 1930hrs and reached around 9pm. The to-and-fro transport cost us SGD260. 

Success journal 1186: Disney adventure weekend with family and friends

It was the talk of the town during the 1st few voyages. We boarded the cruise from Singapore on Friday afternoon and ended on Monday morning. The cruise is to nowhere, and it costs 2600 for a family of 4. 

It's Jayden's and Jacob's school holidays.

Great food and great entertainment. I love the show; remember, and Elsa can sign really well. 

Jayden liked the water slide, and Jacob loved the drawings and movies. We got on board with Jayden's ex-classmate in st James. Mira and her family. They had a great time together. 

I enjoyed the time spent with my family, and it was also a celebration of our 10th anniversary. 

Grateful and not an easy road.
