What would be better than for Little Sprouts to start their 1st day of the year with a decent gathering with mommy bloggers and their lovely children at Critterland, 1st floor of The Heritage?!
Last Saturday, we were pleasurably invited by Slavemom of "Slavery Bliss" to join a mommy bloggers meet up. We touched down at The Heritage of Seri Kembangan, Selangor at approximately 9:35am, then we wandered around the place before we headed to the Critterland reception. Upon arrival, we spotted Auntie Chin Nee, QQ and her twins of "De Moments" were already waiting inside the playland, thus we might as well registered so the Little Sprouts too can join the fun while waiting for other beautiful mommies to turn up. Later at 10am, Slavemom with CE and XY, Auntie Jassc with Sean( Since Scot didn't feel well and Bao Bei was babysitted by daddy, they didn't make it this time) and Auntie Anggie with energetic Jeremy and adorable Baby J of "Anggie and Jeremy Online Journal" arrived respectively.
Some details about Critterland:
The well padded playground for toddlers.
Little Sprouts spent around 2 and a half hours having fun to the fullness in this kids paradise!
Both Little Sprouts love especially the bed of balls!
Bundles of fun for Little Sprouts to go through the obstacles course.
The volcano is one of the attraction of Critterland. The kids loading the volcano with lava balls...
Juan Juan discovered a dwarf size door that leading us to a secret room, both Little Sprouts were virtually caught on fire.

Woohoo... lava balls eruption that the kids were waiting for!

The mommies had a good chat (basically about the little ones)whilst the kids hugging laughter and happily mingled with each other. The gathering dismissed at about 1:30pm, then papa suggested to stroll along the Heritage's lake before we took off to The Mines Shopping mall for lunch. However, both Little Sprout were immediately dozed off once we place them into their car seats, therefore we canceled our plan, and headed to Ah Po's house with take-away vegetarian economic rice instead!
It was certainly one of the amusing yet memorable day out for both Little Sprouts and mama, nice to meet you all mommies bloggers!

January 3, 2011 9:29 PM
Hey Alice, nice to meet you today although 'very briefly'. It was such a tiring and hectic day for me but thankfully she was fine by herself even on her first day at school.
As for The Heritage, I didn't know such a nice place exist so nearby us. Must check it out someday :-)
January 3, 2011 11:02 PM

January 3, 2011 11:10 PM
This is a perfect place for a mummies' gathering. Can keep the kids happily occupied while the mummies sit down for a relaxing chatting session :)
I've heard so much about this Critterland. Hopefully will get a chance to bring Chloe there one fine day...
January 3, 2011 11:13 PM

January 4, 2011 2:58 PM
Critterland looks like a place to go for kids. You captured your kids happy faces while playing. I used to slide with RC too when we go to the park. It feels good to be a kid again.
January 4, 2011 3:13 PM
Hi Alice,
After a long weeks of silent, I am finally back. Hahaha! Early January, I was busy preparing my son for his first year at Kindy and I'm glad that my wife sms me that my son did not cry on his first day at kindy.
The idea of meeting up fellow bloggers is great! You guys can always get to know each other better rather than just reading each other's blog. It seemed to me you were among the first one to arrive at Sri Kembangan (which I left in year 2000) I hoped you didn't wait long for others to arrive. Hahahaha!
My eyes almost blurted out reading the word "Critterland" because it was so colourful, especially the yellow. But well, got used to the colours now. Hahahaha! But the fee is a bit cutthroat! RM22 per person? OMG! But i think they must have a reason to do so. Anyway, it's a good way to control the crowd in critterland by imposing higher charges.
Too bad you didn't manage to go to Mines, I missed that place. I used to date my wife (she was my girlfriend back then) there. We manage to ride the boat before heading back to Sarawak.If only you managed to go there, surely i can see some photos of mines wonderland. Uhuks!
Anyway, have a nice day Alice. Ta Ta.
January 4, 2011 4:17 PM
So when will the next meeting with the uncles be? ;)
+Ant+
January 4, 2011 9:26 PM
What a wonderful meet up! Happy 2011!!
January 4, 2011 10:33 PM
Ahhh, nice outing for everyone in the family!
January 4, 2011 11:45 PM
happy 2011... really good outing ya? should make a trip there one day, am sure my boy would love it
January 5, 2011 12:37 AM
Happy New Year, Alice! It's nice to meet up with blogger friends isn't it? :) Critterland looks like a fun place for kids. Maybe I'll bring Gwen there one day.
January 5, 2011 10:04 AM
Mom Daughter Style,
LOL, the point is to paint bundle of smiles and laughters on the kids' face!;D Same here, I enjoyed sliding and playing in the playground with my kids, it makes me feel younger!^-^
Willie,
Welcome back my friend, it must have been hectic days for you and your little one! You have a tough boy, mine still whined on the 1st day despite it's her 2nd year in the kindy!;p
Couldn't agree with you more, we had a wonderful time! Guess I was not the 1st one, Chin Nee and her kids were there before us.:)
LOL, sorry for the vibrant effect of the word, just my personal liking to make everything looks cute!;p I agreed it's rather pricey, but nevertheless it's a great experience for my kids, to date they still haven't been to such large scale playland, now my girl can't stop complaining the Giant and Jusco's playground have no match with Critterland. She asked me to bring her there again if we can get promotion and pay less(wonder was that thoughtful...lol, kids).
We did go there the next day! That's certainly a memorable place for both you and your lovely wifey, the place has changed a lot though... became more contemporary.
You too, keep well and have fun!
gratitude,
LOL, anytime my friend, my kids will be happy meeting you!;D
anney,
It's indeed a decent yet wonderful gathering, Happy 2011 to you and your beautiful family too!
Pete,
Thank you, it's a great one!^-^
Sting,
Happy 2011!!! Yes, when will be our turn, it'd be my pleasure to meet Kay and Zen!^-^
Bet Zen will love it!
Mummy Gwen,
Happy New Year!!! It's always nice to meet you all in person! The place is well padded, not bad for kids! Gwen will sure love it!^-^
January 5, 2011 11:10 AM
You really had a good time from Christmas till now. Envy...
January 6, 2011 12:18 AM
Sheoh Yan,
LOL, just try to live life to the fullest... we can't really anticipate what will happen to us the next sec!;D
January 6, 2011 11:21 PM
It is a nice meet up with other mummies. I like this place, will bring the kids there one day :P
