Aliya Zin in Johor. After a late night at Dataran Merdeka for the Colours of 1Malaysia

Parade, we headed back to The Royale Chulan and grabbed a few hours rest before

getting up in the wee hours to catch our AirAsia flight to Johor Bahru (JB). FYI, Airasia has 3

flights daily from LCCT to JB Senai Airport, and if you catch the AirAsias morning flight

from Brunei, you can easily catch a connecting flight at 14:05 to JB, and still arrive in

plenty of time to enjoy the better part of the day.

Admittedly, all of us were still sleepy so it was fortunate that joining us for this leg of the trip was

AirAsias Ivan Ong, who herded us around the airport and made sure we got on the flight on time. The

flight to JB is 45 minutes, like Brunei to KK. Upon arrival, we were picked up by our tour guide, Abg

Zainal, and were taken to what I can only describe as heaven for Hello Kitty Lovers (a.k.a THE

MOTHERSHIP! You can tell that this post is going to be biased already) Puteri Harbour Family Theme

Park! Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park is a four story indoor theme park about 25 minutes from Senai

Airport, and is an awesome place to take your little ones, which has Hello Kitty Town, Little Big Club and

Lats Place.

Sanrio HELLO KITTY town features Black Wonder, a hi-tech interactive themed experience, where you

must solve clues to save Hello Kitty and Daniel from the naughty Kuromi (and I insist that you MUST save

them!); and Kitty House, an iconic Hello Kitty house complete with living room, bedroom, bathroom and

kitchen (If I could move in there, I would!).

At the Wishful Studio, you and your kids can enjoy jewelry making, costume dress up at the photo studio

as well as visit the nail salon where they can decorate their nails with Sanrio characters nail art. In

addition, you can make and decorate Hello Kitty shaped cookies at the cookie studio and your very own

Hello Kitty doll at the doll factory!

On the next two floors is The Little Big Club, where your kids can interact with all of their favourite HiT

characters under one roof through a series of 6 themed interactive play zones - with games, rides, soft

play areas, and more.

Amongst the 6 themed interactive play zones at The Little Big Club is the Angelina Ballerina play zone

where your little dancing stars can dress up, play on a host of interactive touch-screen games, and even

get a dance class from their favourite ballerina, Angelina. Bob the Builder fans will love the interactive

'Build It Zone' where they can join Bob's 'Can-do Crew' and help their favourite builder by getting

involved in all aspects of building a house. Barney's play house is a re-creation of the set in the television

series, and your kids can even watch Barney perform in his very own sing-a-long show.

Thomas the tank engine, a favourite of my nephews gets his own floor, with a variety of rides, playareas and his very own live sing-a-long show. Theres even a giant jungle gym, where parents can join

their kids crawling, climbing, sliding and getting into all sorts of trouble! (Being the good reporters that

we are, we even tested it for you, and yes, we had a lot of fun!)

Lats Place is an interactive dining experience where patrons get to interact with characters from the

comics in a village setting. For one and a half hours, a virtual day in the kampong, you get entertained by

the characters, dining on delicious set menus, and receive a photograph of the experience which is all

inclusive in the price. The characters will actually speak to you and the script is never the same, so its

always a different day in the Kampong!

After Puteri Harbour, our guide, Zainal took us to the one and only, LEGOLAND! By then, we were

running on pure adrenaline, and even the gloomy weather didnt dampen spirits! Kids, both young and


7/11

old will enjoy Legoland, as it offers attractions for the younger children, such as the Junior Driving school

and Boating school, or compete with other families to be top of your class at the Rescue academy.

Of course, rides such as The Dragon rollercoaster and Lost Kingdom are subject to minimum height

regulations, and children will need to be accompanied by adults. I guarantee that you will have a lot of

fun getting wet on the Dino Island ride! (Insider tip : Bring extra clothing and put ALL of your belongings

in a locker for safe keeping and to keep them dry, especially mobile phones! Ivan and I found out that

even in your back pockets, your precious is not safe from the splash!) After a long day, we eventually

made our way to The Thistle Hotel, a gorgeous hotel, and if youre lucky, you will get a gorgeous view of

the clock tower in JB, and of Singapore. After dinner, all of us crashed into our beds, as we had another

fantastically early start to the morning the next day, this time to the mighty jungles of Endau Rompin!
