Legoland Waterpark Malaysia Trip

I have never ever been to Legoland before and so i finally did, two weekends ago with my favourite bunch. Since some of them have been to Legoland before and they said that the theme park was more for the kids than the adults, we decided to go to the waterpark instead. We booked our 2 way transport and tickets to Legoland Waterpark through WTS Travel, you can head to their website here. (https://www.wtstravel.com.sg/index.php/theme-park) 


2 Way Transport + Legoland Water park tickets at $72



It was an early Saturday morning for me as i had to wake up at 0530am and head down to Singapore Flyer, where the bus will fetch us to Legoland. We had some tiny breakfast from 7 Eleven and waited for our tickets and our bus left the place for Legoland around 9-9.30am? Our journey from Singapore Flyer to Legoland was around 1 hour and a half? Cleared the customs(thank god it wasn't busy) and we finally reached Legoland at 11am. 




Just like any other tourist, we took some pictures at the "oh so popular spot" the entrance of LEGOLAND! After which, we had a proper breakfast at KFC and it was time for us to enter the Legoland Waterpark itself. And as always, yours truly, can never resist taking photos with all this Lego figurines, in front of the hotel, haha. 


 YAY! Another pictures of us in front of the big logo of the waterpark! Once we entered the park, we changed and head down to the pool! We started off with the lazy river and what we did was relax and play around with the lego that is floating around the water. After two rounds around the lazy river, we decided to try the slides and chill by the wave pool before we rest and relax again in the lazy river. Thank god for GoPro, we managed to capture some good moments while swimming and of course, there will be a video at the end of this post so yes, let the picture do the talking now...





(A picture with our mini creation with lego blocks, Thank you to the photographers around the pool for capturing this moment for us.)

After a good 4 hours dipping ourselves in the pool, it was time for us to wash up and shop at the Lego Souvenir Store, have dinner and head back home. I went a little bit crazy for the Lego Keychains and i bought one for myself, sister and my mum and oh, a water bottle for my sister. Lol, now that i'm writing this post, i should have gotten more of the keychain. We had our early dinner at Secret Recipe and it was a good dinner indeed! We had to be back at the bus pick up point by 6pm. The bus drove us all the way back to Singapore and dropped us at BIGBOX in Jurong East so it was a long train ride home for me as i stay in the east side so yes, it was indeed a great trip again with my lovely bunch. I kind of think that i have a name for our group, its called #GAYABEBAS (internal joke) haha.

Anyway, it is nearly the end of this post, what i can say about this trip is that....hmmm, it was alright for the waterpark, out of 10, i would rate it 8/10 mainly because  i kind of feel that Adventure Cove is still the best but you know what? The company for this trip made it better in every single way! Since its the holiday season, if you want to bring your family or kids for a short trip, i will recommend you to visit Legoland and Waterpark(if you havent) and oh, maybe try to stay a night or two at the hotel because it looks so cute from the outside, well at least for me! 


Alright, we have come to the end of the post and as usual, thank you Legoland Waterpark for the awesome experience! 

Thank you to my awesome bunch for making this trip a wonderful and fun one! 
"LEGOLAND CHECKED, WHERE TO NEXT?!"

And as promised, here's the video! 


Love, Athirah.

Bali Bali Bali! - Part 2

Continuation from my previous post.

Bali Day 2 

We started our day early on day 2 in Bali. We went to bed at 12am and woke up at 3am the same morning. Wondering why we had to wake up at 3am in the morning? The reason was because we had to drive up to Lovina Beach which is at the other end of Bali to see the dolphins....during the sunrise! 
The journey took us about 2 and a half hours so we reached Lovina Beach exactly at 5.30am and the weather at Lovina Beach was extremely cold! I just don't get it man! It's so hot during the day but during the night time, it's damn cold but whatever it is, i loved the weather in Bali! 

 Just take a look at the beautiful sunrise while we were on the boat to see the dolphins at Lovina Beach. This is by far the most beautiful sunrise i've EVER seen in my entire life and i'm not lying about this. Extremely beautiful! 





 What we were told by our guide on the boat was that, the dolphins will only appear during sunrise and on certain days, the dolphins will come closely to the boats and we can touch them but sadly, during the time i was there, the dolphins were a little bit too afraid of the boat engines. We got to see the dolphins just that they were like 5-10m away from us but aww the dolphins are so cute and it was my first time seeing a real natural ocean dolphin so yeah, haha excuse me.





This activity ended around 9.30 and it was just nice for our next trip up the waterfall and hot springs. We drove up for another half and hour and we went to this beautiful hot springs in one of the village. It is the Banjar Hot Springs and ugh, again, i must say EVERYTHING that has got to do with nature in Bali is god damn gorgeous!



 After visiting the hot springs we had to travel another 10 minutes down the road for the waterfall. I can't remember what's the name of the waterfall but i tagged it on my location area in Instagram so if you wanna find out, head on to my Instagram - aaaths. Okay, back to this...We had to walk down for the waterfall and what i was told is that we were on top of a hill and the temperature was like 23 degrees so it was a nice cooling walk to the waterfall. After 15 minutes, we were welcomed by the beautiful and tall(or should i say long) waterfall! It was majestically beautiful i just can't describe my feelings the minute i stepped my foot on the waterfall area.



We spent quite sometime near the waterfall and captured lots of photos and videos (i will link down below.) After a good 15 to 20 minutes at the waterfall area, it was time to proceed back to our hotel and so we had to climb up back to the starting point and OMG! It took me 15 minutes to walk down to the waterfall but it definitely took me longer to climb back to the top! It was indeed a good workout for me that morning. I was too tired the minute we got back to our car and the journey back to our hotel was 3 hours - the traffic in Bali is extremely busy but i like the way they drive in Bali. Its like you can just hon to the car in front of you and they'll make way for you. Try doing that in Singapore? You'll get f*** up man! Haha.


We spend the rest of the afternoon catching up with our sleep in our room and head out to Discovery Mall which is just 5 minutes walk away from our hotel and had A&W for dinner, walked around to do some shopping and we headed to Kuta Beach to see the sunset! After walking around Kuta Beach, we head down to Lippo Mall and i went to do a little bit of shopping at Hurley and Matahari. We head back to our room and rest for the day because Day 3 is gonna get exciting as we did the water activities like Parasailing, Jetski, Banana Boat and Flying Fish. If you wanna know more about my Day 3 in Bali, keep coming back to my blog and you will get to read it as soon as possible!
