Big Bad Wolf 2015 (#BBW 2015)

Big Bad Wolf #BBW2015 book sales has started since 4th December 2015 till 14 December 2015. It is time again for us to replenish our reading and activity materials. BBW 2015 is truly a book heaven and letting me alone there, I might have ended up buying lots of books.. Hmmm I just love reading.. Same goes to little reya. Since she is a baby we used to read for her various bedtime stories and Grolier's I Wonder Why Series using the talking pen.

All this reading activities certainly has cultivate love for reading and books deep in her. She were super excited when we arrived at the sale and pulled the trolley by her own while browsing her books. We vet thru all the books before proceeding to the counter. BBW has certainly made shopping with a toddler a breeze. They provided lots of trolley, counter for storing your books before proceeding for payments, play area and restaurants to get a quick bite. They do have amazing discounts for stationery as well, near the entrance.

I don't have enough of it but had to stop shopping when little Reya starts to feel sleepy. Definitely worth it and money on books is not a waste;-)

I see it as an asset.. Way to build our home library! Below are some photos of the sale and our catch on the day!





Yeah!! it is only in Malaysia 24 hours shopping of books.. no one minds you even you are on your pyjamas..:-)

Reya @ Bukit Merah Laketown Resort

Bukit Merah is a small lake town located in Perak. Merah is a Malay word and it means red; Red Hill. We did a quick trip there over Diwali holidays. It was my first time up there and the view was so fascinating. Bukit Merah Laketown Resort as its name offers many attractions and facilites.

They have waterpark, orang utan island and an eco-park. We went there quite late and did not make it to the orang utan island and an eco-park. The waterpark it self is so huge and we did not managed to explore all the attractions there. They also have accomodations ranging from waterfront villas, water village and hotel if you wish to put up a night with loved ones and continue to explore the gem the next day. List of accomodations are as below:

1) Laketown Hotel at Bukit Merah
2) Kampung Air (Water Chalet) at Bukit Merah

Reya was super excited to get to play in water.. her most favourite thing is to bath. She will be very happy to be in water for hours. They have childrens and adult's slow river rides, kids water playground, giant wave pool and flume rides which we did not discover during our trip.

There were also plenty of covered waiting areas with table and benches for those who wish to only wait by the pool side to relax and watch their children having fun.

Eco-park is an eco-tourism and educational place where children and adults get close and experience animals. Below are the list of parks:

1) Nature Trails/walk- enjoy he fascninating mother' nature and bird watching
2) Skycycle- enjoy 200 m mid air tour across the tropical forest
3) Pets Park- get to touch and feed small and domesticated like rabbits
4) Predator Park- Watch the reptiles cobra, vipers snake and python in safe enclosure
5) Many other attractions like, crocodile enclosure, sun bear and deer enclosure also tropical trek to obesrve gibbons and binturongs.

I would say that this place is reasonably rated and most of the facilities are safe. The entry price for the water parks is as follows:

Reya gets to enter for free as children below (90cm). I personally loved the experience as the facility provided were not so bad for the price we paid and the experience Reya got in a water theme park.
They also have changing rooms and lockers to keep things safe.

It started to rain when we decide to leave the park. Definitely can visit again to cover other places here.
