To The Park We Go Again!

Since I was so mesmerised by the park's beauty in Desa Parkcity (from previous post), I went there again the very next day. Moreover the kids haven't been there. My brother in-law and his family lives nearby. So after paying them a visit, we dropped by Desa Parkcity to bring the kids before the sky gets dark. It is a beautiful park and there were so many people. Even dogs of all kinds of breed were there. Of course with their owners. We did not finish exploring every corner of the park yet, so we planned to return some day. It was a hurried outing at the park that day because we don't want to be home late for our home-cooked dinner. Enjoy the images!

Happy cousins playing together. Elizabeth wanted her picture to be taken. But where is Joseph? He was busy playing with toys.

Everyone enjoying the breeze and the scenery at the park. I spotted a poodle.

More dogs! Could be malamutes? Sorry, this is a bad shot actually but I just didn't have the time to wait for the perfect shot. 

Finally a chow chow dog from front view. I had to crop the picture because the owner's a** was like right in my face and I have no intentions to embarrass her anyway. Look at the spectators admiring the dog's beauty.

Doesn't this St. Bernard dog reminds you about the movie Beethoven? It was really huge.

Part of the reason why I can't take good pictures because I had to keep an eye on the children. I'm so paranoid especially at crowded parks. Joseph is still holding his father's hand in this picture. But not for long...

Once they caught sight of the children's playground, it was like all the gates of hell was open. LOL. Can you see my two little ones making their way to their destination?

They're getting away further already and I can see that my hubby is speed walking.

Now big sister is trying to stop her little brother from running away. She's always so worried of her brother's safety.

Elizabeth getting more adventurous and brave as she gets older.

Joseph ran so much that I had to put him on this metal hammock so that he would stay put for a while.

Elizabeth trying to pose like a model..hehe.

I haven't seen a swing like this before. Cool swing I'd say. The kids seem to be enjoying it.

Elizabeth wants a second go. Joseph already called it quits.

The treat of the day before heading home.

Feel like a VIP

Not too long ago, I signed up for a Proton Exora VIP test-drive session and was lucky to be selected to join the event. I don't know what's in it for us that signed up but I just did it anyway since hubby and I were both interested in MPVs if we were to buy a new car one day. So it was nice that I got selected and I get to bring hubby along. The sad thing is we're not allowed to bring children along. Luckily I have my babysitter to turn to.

We were one of the early birds to arrive. So we got to enjoy breakfast longer.

Each couple were given a clipboard. This is part of the itenary for the event.

I even got a chance to meet a celebrity mommy blogger, Merryn. ;) One very hot mama.

There were brief talks on parenting issues as part of the programme.

Fullhouse Cafe in Sunway Giza Mall. Quite a cool venue to host the event. This is where the talks and briefings were held. Not to forget the meals provided too! That car is so super cute!

Do I look like a reporter? I'm suppose to be a VIP ler.

All the participants for the event. Everyone was excited to take the picture that we shielded the poor Exora car at the back. LOL.

All set to go! I am test-driving first. Route was from Sunway Giza Mall in Kota Damansara to Desa Parkcity in Kepong.

The car comes with GPS. (for high line in Exora only) 

My dear hubby testing on how it would feel to be a passenger right at the back row.

It's his turn now! What a poser.

When we arrived in Desa Parkcity, we were taken to the car park near the park for a performance test-drive session. The aim was for us to test the Advanced Braking System (ABS).

This was the car we drove. Nice?

One of the challenge for everyone to participate. The challenge is to put all the luggage, golf bag and a stroller into the boot as fast as we can.

While I was on my way to the washroom, I can't help but to snap a pic of this beautiful scenery of the park in Desa Parkcity.

Look at all the Exoras lining up.

We were treated to more food and talks when we returned to Fullhouse Cafe in Sunway Giza Mall.

All in all it was a good experience as I've never been to a test-drive session before. It was also not a normal test-drive as we had the priviledge to do the performance test-drive. What's more to be treated like a VIP. The Proton team were also very helpful and friendly. We were all given a series of questions to test our knowledge about the car and also 2 challenges to perform like the Storage Challenge and the Blind Fold Parking Challenge. It was great fun and everyone returned home with a prize, voucher and goody bag! ;)
