Cosmo’s World Theme Park

When we went to Kuala Lumpur in 2005, we made sure that all 5 kids in our entourage had loads of fun.  One of the first places we visited was Cosmo’s World Theme Park.  It is the largest indoor theme park in Malaysia and is one of the Berjara Times Square’s main attractions.  Just how big is it exactly?  133,000 square feet big! ;) 

Cosmo’s World is divided into two main themed areas, the Galaxy Station which caters mainly to teenagers and adults, and the Fantasy Garden, which caters to the younger ones.  It is at the Galaxy Station where the adrenaline pumping rides can be found.  I remember that my brother, Edward, lost his PDA (personal digital assistant) because of that one ride where he and my hubby were upside down a couple of times.  :D Tsk tsk.  We spent most of our time at the Fantasy Garden.

It’s just too bad that when we made that trip to Malaysia, I wasn’t blogging yet.  That means, I didn’t quite take photos at every stop and turn like I do now.  Hee hee.  Anyway, here’s what I was able to dig up from my photo archives…


Here we are at the Fantasy Garden.


A train passes under the giant apple.  Those three seemingly lost kids are my nephew and nieces, Macy, Jad and Kylah.

Here we are again. :)  Abby wasn’t walking yet at that time.

The following photos were taken using the still function of my Mom’s videocam.


Abby only got to enjoy the train ride after a short nap.


I love the interiors of this theme park.  How many people will it take to finish a doughnut that big?


The Fantasy Garden is filled with so much color and shapes.


See what I mean? :)

 There were two other theme parks that we visited during our 5-day holiday in Malaysia.  They’re next on my “regular” blogging agenda.  Hee hee. ;)

First Time Flyer

I was 11 years old the first time I was blessed to travel by air.  I was with my Mom and my brother (then 10 yrs. old) and our destination was LA.  I remember my Mom wanted so much for my brother and me to travel before we turned 12 because those days, children 12 years old and below get discounted airfare…50% off.  Well, that’s no longer the case these days.  One pays the full adult price for a child’s airfare unless, of course, if one is travelling with a child 2 years old and below.  Then you just pay very little.

But this post is not about me.  It’s about Abby. :)  Abby, was a little over 3 and a half months old when she first travelled by air.  So what if her destination was Cebu?!  Still, that counts for something, right?  Hee hee. ;)  The usual trio of Abby, my Mom and I were together for that trip.  Hubby was already in Cebu that time on business and he has been there for several days already.  And we decided, why not join him?  So we did. :D 


At the NAIA Terminal 2 - Abby’s first time inside an airport.


Is it obvious she’s breastfed?  Hee hee.


This stroller of Abby served us really well.  It’s a first time flyer as well. :D


Both Abby and I look a little different now.  She seem to have lost her baby fat already…and I gained them all! :)


What a good girl!  Thos were the days when she could keep still for longer periods. :)  It was her first time to ride a bus, too!


On the flight back to Manila, hubby kept Abby happy, quiet and comfortable the Filipino way.  And that is to carry and sway/dance with the baby. ;)

More pics from our Cebu trip from years ago later. :D
