We stayed at Berjaya Times Square Hotel which is part of this huge development with a big shopping mall (a lot of vacant shops and low traffic - not a very successful mall) and a theme park. The theme park is what makes KL a good family holiday destination, nothing else really. The theme park is very well maintained and has a section for younger children. And it is an indoor park which is good because there is no worry about rain or hot weather; why don't we have an indoor theme park in Singapre? The kids especially love the bumper cars and went on them over and over again. After they have their fun, we leave them in the hotel room with the maids to have a take-away dinner (burgers, pizza, etc) and to watch VCDs. See pic of them glued to the TV.
While the kids are kept amused in the hotel room, the adults go out for a sumptuous meal. We also went for a foot massage and tried ear candling. See pic of me with a burning candle stuck into my ear. There is this street which is just packed with foot massage centers that stay open till way past midnight; I suppose to cater to tourists. We should have establishments that open this late in Singapore; shops in Singapore close too early, so boring. On New Year's Eve, we left the kids in the room with lots of junk food and balloons and they had their own "children's party". They've been to so many parties, they were able to organise their own party games. I'm glad the kids are so independent; it makes life that much easier for us. See pic of the kids with the balloons we bought from a roadside vendor at the New Year's Eve price of RM35 for 9 balloons.

I never thought KL is so enjoyable for kids! Hubby suggested go KL for new year shopping this weekend, and I'm now seriously considering it. :)
Thanks for putting up the button *hugs*
Yes. Cosmos World at Berjaya Times Square is really good; much better than Escape Theme Park here. Have fun!
Can you please explain why you would put a burning candle in your ear?
The candle is hollow in the middle so when it is lighted, a vacuum is created and that causes your ear wax to be sucked up. So what ear candling does is to clear your ear passage and this is supposed to be good not just for your hearing but also sinus problem and headaches. I didn't feel much of a difference actually but my hubby and some of my friends said they could hear better...maybe psychological.
yes berjaya times square is not a great mall - don't know why, it just doesn't have that thing. Next time stay at the Boulevard Hotel, which is new and is right next to the Mid Valley Megamall, which is heaving and has playpark for kids, Megakidz. Enjoy feeling superior to all the queues of cars waiting for a parking space, while you can just saunter over from the hotel.
Thanks for the tip! I'll check out Boulevard Hotel next time.
