Picnic Under The Neon Lights

So much has changed since the last time Sweetie Pie and I stepped our little feet into the city of lights called I-City.As in TREMENDOUS changes!It has expanded from the size of 1 football field to 1 bloody golf course!But not an 18 hole,more like a 9 hole course.I-City is sooo gona be the next Genting Highlands,minus the casinos =)

Anyway,Sweetie Pie's family had planned to organize a Nasi Lemak picnic under the bright neon lights of I-City last Sunday,and of course,I was invited.Aunty Asiah had been dropping litres of sweat in the kitchen back at home to prepare her signature delicacy,Nasi Lemak,for us to enjoy during the picnic.Nasi Lemak complete with deep fried anchovies,boiled eggs,sliced cucumbers,and sambal ikan bilis.Not forgetting Batik cake for dessert.

It was an awkward and bizarre moment for us when carrying mangkuk tingkat,passing through hundreds of wondering eyes while walking to search for the best picnic spot.Imagine the embarrassment,but none of us cared that much.We might be the only family walking around with mengkuang picnic mat,mangkuk tingkat,plastic plates and cups,and rice warmer,but at least we got to eat great food while enjoying the happening lip-lap lip-lap surrounding=)

Skynn with tikar mengkuang....

.....Abang Nik with mangkuk tingkat and rice warmer....

...while Ammal and Aunty Asiah handling the little rascals.

Well,we finally found a great spot to set up our nasi lemak booth near the entertainment rides and under whimsical bright lights.While the only thing in the little rascals' tiny minds were the carousel,spinning swings and mini monorail,the adults helped themselves with the delicious nasi lemak without any further delay.Who could blame us?It was already dinner time!

Did I mention that they also have Snow Walk and reptile exhibition besides the amusing rides?Yeah,I-City have them all.Now you folks can imagine why I said it's gona be the next Genting Highlands.

It was RM5 per person,per ride,so the 2 little rascals,Imany and Ikhlas,along with their so-called 'guardians' knocked themselves out jumping from 1 ride to another.I would've volunteered to be 1 of the so-called 'guardians' too if I had more time to spend there at I-City,but unfortunately,I had to leave early due to early departure to Perth the next morning.Devastating huh?='(

The so-called 'guardians' were waiting in line.They were supposed to just accompany the little ones when actually they have tht little child's urge inside of them to jump on the rides =P

Nevertheless,I had a blast picnic-ing with the whole family that evening.God knows when was the last time I ever had a picnic!

Mesmerizing background huh?

We had all the nasi lemak to ourselves after the rest had left for the rides=P
