5 of us booked a
theme park package with WTS. Package includes accommodation , theme park
tickets ( Legoland , water theme park , Hello Kitty, The little big club) and
transport . This trip was fully sponsored by my brother .
The trip started
off at the Singapore flyer pick up point . We picked up the tickets from the
WTS agency at 9am, bus departed at 9.30am. It's a smooth ride via 2nd link ,
surprisingly there was no crowd at the check point . For those who booked the
day trip or 2 days 1 night package , legoland was their first stop . We had
made special arrangement to check in to hotel on the first day ( visited Hello Kitty etc ) and Legoland on 2nd day. I must mention that we were pleased with
WTS efficient service , the coach was much more comfortable than 5 stars ,
instructions was clear and there was no delay . At around 11.30am, we reached
our hotel , selected trader hotel because it's just next to Hello Kitty Land.

Traders managed to
give us early check in to 1 of the rooms . We requested for connecting rooms on
the spot and they acceded to our request . They also gave us late check out .
The harbour view at traders was awesome ( extra 50 RM per night ）we
did not go for that great view , ours faced Hello Kitty Land.

Traders international buffet breakfast was superb , the spread was good , minus point
was the place was crowded at breakfast time. Traders' facilities - the sky deck
pool and gym are well maintained partly because this is a rather new hotel , operating
less than a year. There is a lot of construction going on around the hotel ,
other than visiting the theme parks , there is nothing much to do .

After lunch at
Kenny Roger, we went to Hello Kitty and The little big clubs . The 2 girls dislike
taking pictures so I ended up taking candid shots . Though I am not a Hello Kitty lover but being in that environment I can't leave without taking pictures
. We also played a little treasure hunt game where the 2 girls were given a
lamp to search for a 5 letters word. They had to form a word using the 5
letters , a certificate will be given for the correct word form . Tong got an A
on her certificate while Jing got a B, the grade was determined by the time spent in
figuring out the word . Tong went to help Jing after she has found her word .
We played some kiddy rides in the theme park before going for dinner at the
Lat's place.

Day 2
Traders provided
free shuttle to Legoland . You need to book early due to the high demand .
Initially we booked the 11.30am slot but later decided to take a cab ( about 20
RM) as we wanted to go there earlier . Legoland opens at 10 am closes at 6pm.
While water theme park closes at 4pm. By right we ought to visit the water
theme park first but unfortunately we were not awared of the timing at that
time . Legoland hotel is right in front of Legoland theme park . The whole
building is so colorful and there are many different theme park designs in
the rooms.
We tried out
almost all the rides , due to the short waiting time we went for the 2nd round
. Waiting time was between 5 to 10 mins. The most scary ride was the Dragon roller coaster ride ( Lego kingdom ), we or rather me and Tong screamed all the way . Though scary, we still went for a 2nd round. Another popular ride was the boat ride ( Land of adventure ), we were all wet after the slide and water splashed all over. Luckily we were in our swim suits. Mum tried out 2 of the rides , beetle bounce and lost adventure kingdom.
Miniland is my favourite area in the theme park. Legos are used to construct buildings to represent different countries, for example Twin towers for Kuala Lumpur, Flyer and Clarke Quay for Singapore.
We had pizza for
lunch and it started to drizzle . Of course we continued playing and purchased
a few photos and 2 key chains. We went to water theme park at about 3pm. Went
for a water float tour and 2 slides then it started to rain heavily ! We waited
for sometime for the rain to stop. The staff got all to leave the water due to
lightning alert . There were too few sheltered areas at water theme park , as a
results many got to take shelter in the changing room area. It continued to
rain and we decided to go back at 4pm plus .
Day 3
We spent our morning swimming and hanging around the habour after breakfast. The coach picked us at 5pm and we returned to Singapore via 2nd Link at 6pm.
