Another Sunday Spent at Funarium

Sunday is gai gai day, don’t you agree? :)

We went to Funarium yesterday because the kids NEED to play and mommy had a dSLR class with Aaron. It’s just a short briefing, but since both of us have kids, Funarium is a great rendezvous. Hey, adults can play too, and by climbing through all the tunnel chasing after your kids, you might get as much work out as running on elliptical.


Papa brought us to Funarium again! Yippie!


We arrived early, so the kids started playing as soon as we got here.


Bye mommy, I’m going in the tunnel slide.


As soon as Aaron got here, we went to the parents room for the class. So, hubby played with the kids, while Aaron’s kids accompanied by their mommy Emily. Occasionally, my kids came to kacau looking for mommy, and when I said that I can’t join them, Isabelle would give me this look…


Moody… :P


Actually, our kids are very familiar with this place already, so they can basically run and play around wherever they please. The more we visit Funarium, the more FREEDOM hubb and I have. :P Frankly, we can just sit there and relax because the kids can easily make friends with others. They even know how to order their food, by showing their bar code straps, it’s easy peasy for them la….

My class ended by 1pm, and after a quick lunch, I went to join the kids.


My gal’s begging for sweets. She’s very tired of playing, and needed some sweet booster. LOL!


No sweets are sold at Funarium, so they had to settle with jelly and cupcake.


Hubby said they had already taken a heavy lunch!!! But kids, they get hungry easily when they play a lot. Of course, I got busy trying out different setting with my camera after the briefing. Frankly, I got very blur after the class. LOL! I guess I’m not good at photography, as long as I can shoot whatever I need, it’s good enough for me. :P Really low standard…:P

So, what happened next after a food attack? Play again loh….


You’ve just got to try the slide!



Isabelle is soooo into sand play.



Mommy’s snapping through the glass so that she could still enjoy the air-conditioning. :P



While the kids were playing…hubby ZZzz….LOL!


Besides all the regular play, the kids tried something new on Sunday. It’s the first time they tried the roller blades and I’m surprised that Justin picked up rather fast.


Trying to balance himself while holding on to the net.


He refused to let me hold him and wanted to do this on his own.


After 15 minutes or so, he’s confident enough to let go and balance and “walk” in small steps.



Occasionally, he fell…



And got up…



And fell and got up again…


I’d lost count of the number of times he fell, and he rejected my help. He wanted to do this on his own…And about 45 minutes later, our little boy was confidently “gliding” slowly around the track.


Bravo Justin!


He even agreed on mommy leaving the track, but asked me to order him some food. LOL! He said he had no more energy, and he needed to eat. Then, he would come back to practice again.


I love to see my kids eat. :P


But too bad, the roller blades are only allowed for one and a half hour, before the track is open for bicycles again. So, maybe we should come here soon so that Justin can practice more before we get him his roller blades.

As for Isabelle, hubby helped her a lot, but she only tried for 10 minutes or so.


Isabelle didn’t manage to balance herself, so she gave up. :P


So, what did we get after a fun day at Funarium? It’s 2 kids who slept all the way back home…

    Rachel, we don’t have a proper place to roller blade in our neighborhood, so better let him skill up at the track first. Fall also not so pain. LOL! Once he’s good at it, then we will buy :)

    I miss rollerblading! All the picts are bringing me back lovely memories. I’m glad that your kids had fun!

    I disagree with the comment on yourself about photography, look at all the brilliant shots you’ve captured! I love your kids smile especially, everything looks naturally good. =)

    Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
