Age is definitely catching up when you can no longer stand roller-coaster rides as mild as the ones in the kiddy park in Berjaya Times Square. I'm exeggerating here...but hey, with 3 kids in a place where everything looks like a toy...say no more!
Since I cannot afford a beach get-away or something of that sort, I resorted to bringing Adam, Aina & Amir to the theme park. As long as we're going somewhere - that was my motivation for this school holiday. Initially I wanted to take them to Aquaria, but then Adam & Aina have been there with their Opah (my mom-in-law), not too mention the unbelievably expensive entrance fees. Then I considered the Bird Park, but with bird-flu and HFM and what-other-mutated-diseases these days, I'd rather take them somewhere I think and feel is safe at the moment.
So we ended up at Cosmo's World, and seeing the sparkle in their eyes when I was purchasing the tickets, I knew I made the right choice then. I didn't mind the long queue at each ride, the cotton-candy demands, the zillionth-time sand-art request - they DID have a jolly good time. And to capture them with "Sully" their favorite movie character in that digital moment...priceless!
Being a modern-day mom is not easy, your children are not easy to please anymore. More exposure, extended friends and with high degree of awareness, they've become a real parenting challenge. Somehow I just wish things are as simple we were before - no Xbox, no Astro, no 10-kg schoolbags...and we still turned out fine.
