Finally, it has come to the last destination for my 2013 Christmas week celebration a.k.a family day with dear.
The last destination we had chosen to visit before the group back to Ipoh was..jeng jeng jeng jeng..I-City at Shah Alam.
We often heard of how mesmerizing the lights were and etc etc etc..unfortunately we have never visited the city of digital lights ourselves. Therefore, we took this as a golden opportunity to explore this town and rated it our own!
Laugh like a sweet angel
Walk like a boss
We reached there at about 3p.m. Differ from what my little brain has worked about this “city”, indeed, it was rows and rows of shop lots and it was pretty quiet at this hour. Later only we discovered that the “city” was INDEED rows and rows of shop lots where they had converted some of these shop lots into interesting amusement “park”.

At one side, some of these shop lots were converted to become haunted house, trick art museum, laser tag arena, archery and of course the famous Red Carpet Wax Museum. I wanted to visit trick art museum but end up, majority wants to visit wax museum so..majority wins! The ticket costs us about RM35 per adult..I thought it was rather more expensive especially since trick art museum only cost RM10/adult.

We were welcomed by Mr. Bean, Marilyn Monroe and Ironman at the entrance of Red Carpet (the wax museum). The museum was separated into a few halls with each hall served with different theme. The first hall comprised world’ s leaders like Nelson Mendela, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Queen Elizabeth and etc etc etc..

Followed by was a hall with world’s greatest legend like Elton John, Luciano Pavarotti, Micahel Jackson.. there were of course other figures but the lighting was too strong that some of the pictures turn out to be really poor..

The last hall was evidently a tribute to Hollywood action – America heroes.. *big boy*

I am sooo massive
Dear in war zone? Haha..like a small little boy..
In short, I think Red Carpet was fun..BUT… there was NOOOOOOOOOOOO WASHROOM! HOW COME!!!!???? and to be honest..I really think that some of the figures were nothing like the real life original icon..serious..there were indeed many that we can’t figure out who were they and thank God there were workers stationed all over the hall, they were really friendly and helpful..explaining to us (and other tourists/visitors) who were they…lol…~ given with that, I think charging RM35 is indeed exaggerated… but why not visit it at least once to experience yourself!? Especially this is the first and only wax museum in Malaysia!?
Prince Mamba..lol…souvenir corner at the exit..typical arrangement of a common visiting center..
While the other section of the I-city is the open-concept amusement park where it consists of the water park, snow world, children’s fun zones, arcade center and etc. This is where it is covered with all the dazzling crazy neon lights that astonished almost all of the visitors.
Cho-cho train… Danish’s first ride and he did enjoy the ride a lot..lol…there were a few outdoor amusement parks suitable for children and young adult..there’s also a Ferris wheel, Pirate Ship, bumper car, game stalls, snack etc…
As we went there during Christmas, there were sure a lot of enchanting decorative items readily to greet the visitors. I was truly bewildered by the neon lights..true enough.. it was like what others have said about it..City of Digital Lights!
Aunt and I under..mistletoe?!!!

Most important of all, I feel really glad that I had decided to spend time with dear and his family. Getting along well with his family, bonded with the little one, all these tiny little things have brought me not only happiness but it brings me and dear even closer than before. People always say that it is difficult to bond with your other half family…is true..difficult..but I believe with a little bit of understanding and compromising, it can happen. Most important of all, it is about whether who willing to take the first step first. At many times, I do feel that the family concept that I have in mind is very different from dear. This is true especially when he has been single and staying far away from his family for a very long time. Being the only son and the man in the house, he has been very independent and tough since young and as time passes, he expects others to do the same too. Surely the difference of thinking between man and lady does play along but his independence is the major “problem” in this issue. There were a few times that I really think I need to reconsider whether will this relationship going to work well because he seems not to get the “family” thing..but, again, it could be only my concern~ Moreover, which couples do not face problems, right?? To be frank, I have never been this happier… I am really glad that I have found a man who loves me like there’s no tomorrow, who let me be myself, who has been so supportive, trust me, love me, care about me in any way beyond imagination. He lets me be myself, be his little darling…so I really hope, desperate, HUNGER..for things to work out right for the both of us. Perhaps we have some contradict opinions about “family” but I want to show him the way I think about “family”..I hope by bonding with his family, he can finally understand that being a family together is not just about calling/going back home periodically but also to be able to actually be there for them.
I really really love him and really really hope to have his hands on mine till I am old and lost all my teeth! I treasure this God given present and I will never let a small problem mushroom and jeopardize us. Remember, one of the happiest thing in the world is to have someone so closed to your heart, who willing to go through ups and downs, cut the boundaries and cross the walls to get to you.. you know you will never be forgotten, be leftover, be abandon and be hurt..if you find this person, grab him(her), squeeze him(her) so tight that he(she) might not able to breath normally again..bring him(her) close to your heart, feel that beats that spell L.O.V.E and never disappoint him(her). Even the smallest heart can fit in the GREATEST gratitude~
Anyhow, this is the end of -season’s greetings; Christmas 2013-. I am definitely preparing to my next stop..hmm…let’s see..Tiannanmen, Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City…can you guess my next stop? Lol…~
Next….
