Daddee Yah!

.
Just wanted to share our little outing this evening…. that almost didn’t happen…

Since the Genting trip and getting a thrill from the ferris wheel there, I thought the next mini adventure for the little one would be to visit The Eye on Malaysia, our version of the London Eye, to be diplomatic After all, this Malaysian attraction is going to be moving to Malacca soon, so what better excuse to go.

I had initially thought to go during day time, perhaps at its opening time of 10am. Hot Mummee thought it’d be too hot, so we opted to go on Friday evening after dinner.

Since my brother’s house is actually quite close to Lake Titiwangsa, we thought we’d head on over there first to have dinner, and leave Caleb there while Caitlin, Hot Mummee and I visited The Eye on Malaysia.

After we finished out meal, we got Caitlin into her jeans and was about to go. And wouldn’t you know it, it started raining.

It was quite heavy too, and I had to break the news to Caitlin that we weren’t going anymore. Poor kid was all teary. I consoled her that Daddee wanted to go too, and that we’d do something tomorrow and try the Eye another day.

But some 10 minutes later, it stopped. Risking it, we went anyway.

Got to the place and the grounds there was dry! The rain may have been a blessing too keeping most folks indoors thinking the same thing we were thinking.

So the queue was rather short. There were still people there loitering, taking photos etc, but we really didn’t have to wait long at all.

Here Caitlin was pointing to a boy, probably not much older than her, climbing a banister. She remarked how “naughty” he was, climbing such a structure; at which point he fell. We reminded her there and then that that is the reason why we don’t let her climb things.

Thought I’d sneak this other angled shot of her still looking at the boy, dusting himself off.

So we got our tickets, ushered to the top of some steps waiting for the wheel to stop for a car to “park” itself at the end of these steps. We had our own car!

Got in, and started the ride!

.

In all, the wheel turned 5 times; Hot Mummee counted, lasting about 15 minutes. Obviously, it wasn’t long enough for Caitlin! I wouldn’t have minded going again, but unlike Genting where we’d just pay for the entrance and ride all we want, here at RM15 for adults and RM8 for 3-12 yr olds…

So the evening was a bit of a letdown for all, especially when there was just The Eye there, and nothing else. I suppose it was because we went at night…
