All About Your Child

A close friend of mine for 20+ years invited me to her brother’s toy rental office for a day of fun on 9th June 2012. They call themselves THE TOY RENTAL CLUB.

It was an eye opener for my boys and I when we reached the warehouse full of toys stacked up tall and wide! Big and small. Fluffy and not. You name it, they have it!

They rent toys on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. They also rent kid’s size tables and chairs for birthday parties. You can even rent climbers, slides, coupers, tricycles, ball pools and bouncers to keep the little guests at your child’s birthday party totally entertained!

And that is not the end, there is more: ~

What I like best is the play area they have set up in the warehouse itself; so that parents can shop at ease, while their kids are occupied at the fun room.

If you have older kids, who does not feel like playing, they can opt to do a little art and craft, so that you can have a piece of mind while you select the most suitable toy(s) to rent.

All thanks to this invitation, my boys finally get to try sand art for the VERY FIRST TIME! *smile*

Needing some help…afterall, its their first try…

It is not just about rental, they sell toys too. Brand new or pre-loved, you choose. More toys for sale over here in another website of theirs called the J-Kids.

The kids had lots of fun together with my close friend’s nieces and nephews, while my friend and Allan and I chat over coffee and muffins. Definitely a great way to spend a day during the long school holidays.

We slept really late last night, kids went to bed at about 1am Indonesia time, I slept 30 minutes after that and Allan switched off the lights after the Euro 2012 match.

It was difficult to get everyone up, including myself, the next morning. We really liked the breakfast and did not want to miss it. It is a pity that the breakfast ends at 10am Indonesia time. When we finally got our sleepy head off the pillows and butts down to the apartment restaurant, it was almost 9.30am.

Both the Honey Cake supplier and the Batam Layer Cakes staff promised to deliver the cakes before 11am and they kept their promise. *thumbs up*

Honey Cake

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that I was hoping that this Honey Cake could meet the standard of the Honey Cake I had during my first trip to Batam last year.

Errmm… nope. The previous Honey Cake was softer and more fragrant. Even the taste is sweeter. This was pretty bland. I was disappointed but Allan felt that it was ok. Then again, it was my choice to try this new stall because of lower price, so I have myself to blame.

We told the Batam Layer Cakes staff to pack each of the 1kg kuey lapis to 500g per box. In total we have 6 boxes of 500g each.

2 boxes of Mocha (they call it Moca)
2 boxes of Chocolate
2 boxes of Durian

And our preference is in that order as well. Mocha was our favourite!

It was a wonderful relaxing trip which all four of us are really happy about. *smile*
