Hong Kong Trip – Day 3 (8 December 2015)

We went to Ocean Park today. The last time I was there was in 1994, with my mum during our Hong Kong and Bangkok tour together. WOW, 21 years ago!  Boy,  have I aged and how did time pass by so quickly??!

Though it is my second visit to Ocean Park, I enjoyed myself thoroughly with the kids. I saw some newbies in the park – like this enchanting train (pic below) that brought us to the other side from the entrance of Ocean Park.

And this Flash Ride (Thrill Mountain) – as you can see from the pic below, this ride spins you up to 22 metres into the air, rotated 360 degrees by a robot arm.  It is recommended for those who love adrenaline rush.  Alycia and Sherilyn are both suckers for crazy rides like this. Yup, they went up this ride, the roller coaster as well as all all those tummy churning, neck-breaking rides.

Alycia and Sherilyn wanted to go up the Abyss Turbo Drop (pic below – the twin tower thingy) but hubs and I said NO!! From 20 floors above ground level, you will drop, in a clean, vertical free fall, gawd!

Alycia and Sherilyn went up this ride too…

Cass was in a real foul mood at Ocean Park coz she did not meet all the requirements for the rides – below 12YO and below height requirement. Poor baby girl. See her droopy lips and sulky face above? I had to bribe her to take that picture with me!

But we managed to sneak her into the white water rafting ride, yipee!  Though we rented rain coats (freaking expensive!), we got wet too!

Below – to the aquatic to watch the sea lions and dolphins in action. It was by far the most interesting event at Ocean Park. The sea lions and dolphins are so clever!

The kids munched on grilled chicken thighs and lots of pop corns!

Hot dogs, fries and pizza for lunch…

Hubs had to cheer up Cass coz she didn’t get to go up on any of the rides that her sisters and cousins went, except for the white water rafting. And she got hit by a toy gun in the eye when it rebounded. She was in tears and I got a heart stopping moment!

We took the cable car back to the main entrance of Ocean Park and then took a cab home.

The ride on the cable ride was exhilarating and it was during this ride that I found out that the hubs has acrophobia (fear of heights) haha!!

Have You Bought School Shoes For Your Children Yet?

Parents, the school holidays are coming to an end soon.  Have you started shopping for your children’s back-to-school paraphernalia? This time, your’s truly is very efficient and quick.  School uniforms and school shoes were already bought even before the school holidays started, thanks to the advent of online shopping!

If you have not bought school shoes for your children yet, fret not. Stay calm and don’t panic! You do not have to brave the crowd at the shopping mall with your children tagging along. You can order their school shoes online at the Pallas Online Store.

See, our girls are showing off their new Pallas school shoes!  Alycia is all set to attend the orientation at her high school tomorrow!

And monkeying around too…

Ms Drama Queen even donned on Alycia’s new high school uniform just for the fun of it. Omaigod, both of them look like teenagers though Alycia has just only turned 12 and Ms Drama Queen is not even 11 yet!

The girls commented that their Pallas school shoes are very comfortable, thanks to the spongy foam on the interior of the shoes. There is also a mesh design on the exterior of the shoes for good ventilation.

For those of you who have children with flat feet, some of the Pallas school shoes models are designed with a corrective insole and molded to provide support for the natural arch of the foot.  The shoes provide optimum comfort for the flat feet, weak or fallen longitunidal arches.  The shoes relieve strain on the foot muscles while your child walks and runs.

Pallas school shoes are specially designed with corrective insoles for children with flat feet.

Pallas school shoes are priced very affordably, ranging from RM27.99 to not more than RM45.00 a pair.

Check out the wide range of school shoes at the Pallas online store. They also have funky and colorful sneakers, which are very affordable as well. I think I am going to get our girls some new sneakers too!
