Family trip to Malacca

The family's on the move again! This time was a driving trip to Malacca and A'Famosa Resort with Leanne. It was Leanne's first overseas trip! First stop was the famous Chicken Rice Balls at the Malacca, followed by Ice Cold Chendol and Ice Kachang.

The night was spent at Cowboy Town, in which the folks caught a 4D movie "Underwater World". Lleyton sat quietly throughout the whole show and not stirred at all even when the seats shook vigourously. Then the family proceeded for dinner followed by the Red Indians show and the Carnival Parade. Leanne sat through the whole Red Indians show, but fell asleep after that. The highlight was of course the fireworks display. In fact, that was the first time seeing fireworks so up close! It was fantastic!

The next morning, the family had breakfast at the Animal World Safari before going for the Elephant Show. Daddy bought a bunch of bananas for Lleyton to feed the elephants. However, Lleyton was so traumatised by the elephant who used its trunks to touch him that he kept saying "scared scared" after that and refused to take any rides nor go near the elephants. Daddy decided that he will bring Leanne to take photos with the elephants instead.


Next was the Safari truck ride. Daddy was educating Lleyton on the animals which were close to the truck. Lleyton was excited on seeing the live animals which looked different from those that he has seen on story books, especially on the size!


Mummy took a photo with Lleyton and Leanne after the Bird Show. See how Lleyton tried to imitate the flamingoes by raising one of his legs! After the shows, he was so thrilled!

The last event before the family left the Animal World was the visit to the Chicken Farm! Lleyton and Daddy had a great time feeding the little chicks. Lleyton was careful not to step on them, so most of the time he had his two legs curled up against Daddy.

Back at the villa, the folks had a dip in the private pool in the backyard. Then they proceeded to the sports centre to have a game of paintball and archery. Even Lleyton had a go at it!


After a long day at the resort, Daddy drove the family out to the Tampin town area for KFC. That night, Daddy and Mummy had a great game of Gin Rummy with Ah Gong and Ah Ma after waiting for the 2 kids to knock out.

It was indeed a great trip!
