All About Your Child

We have got free tickets to Escape Theme Park AGAIN! Thank you eldest SIL AGAIN! *wink* But this time, she has 8 Free Tickets so this time we went with them and my PIL, since they are above 55, they admit for FREE! Yeah!

I’ve always love ‘greenery’, Allan found this place – Bottle Tree Park by chance when he was on his way to meet his client in Yishun.

He knew I would love it and so we went.

The place itself took my breath away! It was BEAUTIFUL!

There were alot of stuff you can do there, like buying Home Grown Vegetables and Fruits for $2per pack;

Visit their Wine Shop;

You can fish in their ponds for $35+ per day…

Or you can let the kids go down to the ‘Longkang’ (Drain) and have fun with LongKang Fishing at $10per child.

They provide you with a Tank and a Net for ‘scooping’ up the Guppies, Swordtail fish, Goldfish and many other species.

There is also a Paintball Shooting Gallery. Yup, its PAINT-ball… “Aim, Squeeze and Fire” Get ready to have some paint fun. When we were there, the area was closed for maintenance, so we couldn’t really see the actions.

Then there were prawn fishing too. $14.50per hour, $29.00per 2.5hours or $43.50per 4hours.

They provide you with Rod and the Bait.

You can also sit on their duck ride at $9per 15mins for 2 adults and one child.

If you do not like water fun, you can pay $2 to rent the Pool Table for a game of Pool

Or you can let the kids sweat it out at the playground.

Did you realise that we were not ‘into’ any of the games, cos first of all, we did not want the kids to have fishes as pets, secondly, Allan and I find the place rather over-priced.

But when we saw the kiddy bumper car, we knew that there’s no escape. But IT WAS A BIG MISTAKE!

The ride is $3 per car and it only lasted for a few seconds. The blue car that Keatkeat was on did not last for more than 15seconds and the green car that Binbin was on, COULD NOT EVEN START!!!

So the person-in-charge carried Binbin to another car – a red car. It was too fast for him to react and bumped into the bricks. He wailed! “Mommy, I don’t want already! I’m very scared! Very Scared!”

So since Keatkeat’s blue car refused to move, he took over Binbin’s red car. That’s when another accident happened.

The car-ride area is a rectangular shape. Two sides were framed with mini brick walls, but the other two sides were framed by a single metal bar that was NOT SECURED TO THE GROUND!

Keatkeat couldn’t brake in-time and knocked onto the metal bar and the metal bar swung and hit onto a woman’s ankle who were standing one feet away from the metal bar. “OUCH!” She screamed! She glared at Keatkeat, almost wanted to scold him.

Though Allan and I were not happy with that look, we still said sorry, even though it was not ENTIRELY Keatkeat’s fault!!! The metal bar were not secured! How could the management do such a thing!!! So Dangerous!

Right after the knock, the red car died too. $6 just went down the drain in less than a minute and earned a stare from an angry 30+ year old woman!

The place is beautiful, great for photo-taking but nothing else attracted us, even the restaurant that served live seafoods sell crabs at 100g for $4.50.

One giantitic crab could easily weigh more than 1Kg. To pay more than $45 for the ‘shells’ more than the meat, nah, that’s not for us, but I bet it taste good, cos before we left the place at 7pm, the restaurant was almost full with diners.

For city people like us, this place is extra-ordinary! Go have a look, if you haven’t been there yet.
