Tourism Malaysia launches Tourism Information Centre at KidZania Kuala Lumpur

Speeby by Susanah Abdul Rani, Gabenor of KidZania Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. 

It's Saturday, school holiday almost over for June. Afraid not as now you can still plan for your school holiday. Tourism Malaysia has launches Tourism Information Centre (TIC) at KidZania Kuala Lumpur. 

Gracing the event was YB Tam Sri Dr. Ong Hong Peng.

Working together with Tourism Malaysia as a smart partner, this mini Tourism Malaysia TIC aims to instill the interest of traveling in children, particularly domestic travel. It will be fun for them as even my son been asking about domestic travel. It is also meant to grow the interest amongst children in planning family vacations to domestic destinations and most importantly, to educate the importance of the tourism industry to children at an early age. 

The concept of the Tourism Malaysia TIC revolves around kids being in an environment similar to an actual Tourism Malaysia TIC, with activities such as creating tour packages and tour itineraries. Kids will be exposed to local destinations and learn to create detailed planned holiday travels. Activities such as these would assist participating kids in developing and organizing their strategic and creative thinking skills. 

The establishment of this TIC in KidZania is a great platform to educate the young generation about the important role of tourism in the nation's economy. 

During the event, I have also capture some video of dance performance, click on the link to view

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday

Last Saturday, we head to my bro place as his twin daughters birthday. Time fly, the gals are very talkative now. That's why they started kindergarten last year. As for my toddler, you can see he's very active at the back of this picture above. My bro twin daughters are 3 year old, my toddler is a year older than them but his speech is slower than them. 

I haven't see my 2nd bro's twins for a long time. They are in UK, yeah my family with two set of twins. Both from my brothers, even my eldest sister and elder sister they are twins. They are not identical twins, even my brothers' twins. 

It's going to be a busy year 2015 for me, being a driver to my boys. My toddler starting his kindergarten this year and his big bro going to tuition further away from school. It's a tough year for my son as he's Standard Three, more challenge on studies. He might need to take up extra activities in school maybe drum or badminton or football. He hasn't decide which he has interest yet. 

This morning brought my son to collection prize I won last year. Jaya One I find that there's outdoor parking but sad to say it is all under valet parking so RM8 for that. I didn't park there as it is so expensive, I went parking in jaya school. I didn't park for long hours and out time is free of charge. Waze once again bring me long journey and wrong turns plus wasting my time to find the place. 

Columbia Hospital which is not far from Jaya One, it was a furniture mall. I used to work near there, that time a company near the furniture mall called Infinity2. 

above Disney goodies. 

I also collected the Kidzania tickets I won so I can arrange a day to bring son for his Kidzania. Kidzania a playground or learning ground for children, the place where my son loves.

Talking of New Year, Chinese New Year is next month. Last Saturday night we headed to NSK to shop some cooking needs there for CNY. Yeah price has gone up for the black fungus.
