LEGOLAND Malaysia ☀☁ (part 1)

Arrival and photo-taking
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------❀

We left the house at around 7 am, although we had planned to leave an hour earlier so that we wouldn't get caught in the causeway traffic. However, traffic wasn't that bad, and the journey to Johor Bahru was pretty smooth, Alhamdulillah. We stopped at a Indian eatery to get breakfast. I ordered egg prata and Horlicks. I had no idea they were going to serve it with ice, but it was so good. (Too bad I didn't take a picture of our breakfast orders! They were all so delicious!)

We hopped back into the car and continued on our way to Legoland. Bapak was using his GPS app on his smartphone, which was pretty interesting for me as it was the first time I've seen him use it in person. My sisters and I dozed off, and I woke up when Mama announced, "We're here!"

I found Legoland exciting even before we had stepped inside! Just look at that magnificent entrance!
Bapak, Mama and I wore square-related designs (because LEGOLAND, that's why- clearly, we were already "playing our part" just in how we were dressed for the occasion!). Dalilah and Kak Shidah were dressed in floral (not square-ish, but at least their outfits go together like a good pair of lego bricks)

I found the design of the theme absolutely amazing. Kudos to the designers, engineers, planners and architects of this beautiful theme park! This theme park doesn't only attract little kids okay, I'm very fascinated with it too. (:

We finally went in after being held at the entry gates for a while (apparently, Mama had printed the tickets too small- she wanted to save ink - such that they couldn't be scanned). I knew I was going to enjoy myself there, although my peers who have already went told me it was "boring" (well, I am that kind of girl who finds joy in everything, or most things, rather).

Not long after we started walking, guess who we see? A RED LEGO BRICK MASCOT.

Ohmigoodness- how adorable is he (or she, depending on who is inside)?! The Legoland photographers are amazing!

Whoever was in this mascot was really playful! He/she certainly knows how to entertain/engage the visitors. For the first picture taken, this little (or big, if you will) guy posed with Dalilah and I and positioned "bunny ears" with those cute gloved hands on top of our heads! At first, we only wanted a photo with just Dalilah and I, but the photography crew coaxed our entire family to join in on the fun. This was definitely a great way to start our adventure in Legoland. (:

As we walked away from the red lego brick mascot, Mama spotted a life-size lego sculpture/model of a sleeping old man alone on a bench nearby:

"Ahh, look at that old man sleeping by himself on the bench! So kesian, we should take a photo with him so he won't look so lonely."

"Kesian" means pitiful, for those of you who don't understand Malay.

We ♥ Legoland! And this old man (":
