I'm a full-time mummy

I do a lot of online purchases and one of my most used online app is of course - Shopee. I had recently signed up as one of their many Shopee Affiliates as I feel that since I buy a lot of stuff from them, I do like to share the good deals and worthy bargains I made so far. For me, I think that it would be more trustworthy and reliable if you purchase something that others have tried or bought before as that is what I usually do, check out the product's review and feedback from other customers before making my decision.

As a busy mum with 5 kiddos between 2 to 11-years old, I have already cut down on doing product reviews since the beginning of this year to focus on my childcare and family life, home cooking, education, helping with hubby's administration site of the business and occasionally sharing informational articles on my FB fan page. 

Now, our family has always been a big fan of all things LEGO, so when I received an invitation to attend the LEGOLAND Brick-Tacular celebration with my family, how can I say no?! After all, it is coming to the year-end and we have all been safely staying home due to the CMCO. After getting positive feedbacks from friends who have visited LEGOLAND recently, we quickly arranged for our trip down south so that we can catch the show on time!

Just a quick info on the LEGOLAND Brick-Tacular celebration, this year, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort will be transformed into the Candyland of your dreams. The resort will also be extending their operating hours on the weekends (Fridays to Sundays) so that everyone can have extra time to enjoy their annual BrickTacular celebration. We are lucky to fully maximise our visiting ours there during our Saturday to Monday stay at LEGOLAND Hotel.

The resort was like a giant Candyland, everywhere you go, you're bound to see candy canes, lollies and more! We enjoyed hunting for Gingerbread Man in the MINILAND as well as being mesmerised by the beautiful decorations around the resort!

My children were so engrossed at watching the LEGO Friends performance on stage! Even I couldn't resist dancing and swaying around to the songs! It was also cool to see LEGOLAND staff giving out Christmas hats for the children around the center stage area. Everything is awesome!

We also made it a point that it's a MUST to visit SEA LIFE Malaysia! I'm impressed with the strict SOP of social distancing and keeping the hygiene of the guests. We also noticed some cute lollies and candies around some exhibits!

I feel safe and assured walking around the resort as you can see staff getting guests to sanitize their hands before and after each rides. There are also staff walking around the resort to sanitize the park, benches and etc. Hand sanitisers devices can be found everywhere and signs to remind you to practise social distancing as well can be seen everywhere. Kudos to LEGOLAND Malaysia for this initiative and effort!

Even at the LEGOLAND Hotel Bricks Restaurant, you can see that the staff are strict and rules are being adhered to by guests too. Instead of going around, taking your own sweet time to choose your food selections, you practically do the same but line up one by one at a safe distance, when it's your turn, you walk up to the counter and give your food order to the staff in-charge and they will scoop and get your dish and food portion as per your order. I also like the table covering during our dinner at the Bricks Restaurant. My children get their own Lego crayons and immediately proceed to choose their own activities - connecting the dots, finding the differences, complete the maze, words search and more!

If you are planning to visit LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, do keep a lookout for character appearances throughout the park as well as joining in the fun in the activities provided. We managed to take pictures with the Toy Soldier mascot as well as Lego Pirate in our hotel.

Overall, we really enjoyed our trip this round and looking forward to visiting LEGOLAND Malaysia again in the near future!

Confession.

I am a tad stingy person, hence will not spend a big sum of money on gadgets and stuff, but I do admit I have always been intrigued with this robot vacuum gadget. Yes, the price is quite shocking to my wallet.

I'm sure my dear hubby wouldn't mind buying one for me but again, the stingy (or we Chinese called it 'kiam-siap') part of me just can't stomach the thought of spending so much money on gadgets like this.

I do sweep, clean and mop our floor everyday. But with 5 children at home most of the time, churning out eraser shavings from their homework, cutting papers for their crafts and producing dirt everywhere, it is impossible to keep the floors spic and span clean 100% of the time, you know!

Anyway, I do buy a lot of stuff online. I believe that I'm a sensible online shopper who knows how to compare prices and checking available and credible customers' reviews first before buying anything.

So when I saw this little gadget on sale, I thought 'Why not? I think I deserve a little Mothers' Day treat' so I ordered it! Without letting my hubby know of course LOL

There's 2 colours available, naturally I chose the black one as it looks more sleek compared to the white one. Also partly because white will be easier to notice if it is dirty or scratched.

What I like about this gadget is, of course, the PRICE. It makes my wallet less whiny at RM32.40 (less than USD7.50). I also like the fact that it can be charged using USB cable.

One thing that I must tolerate is the noise from this little gadget. Quite noisy but I guess it is better than my wallet whining sound hehehe... Anyway, according to the product description, you charge this gadget for 40 minutes and it will run around sucking up dirts and stuff for 40 minutes. 

My hubby had a good laugh the first time he saw my robot vacuum cleaner! Darn it! He thought I bought a gigantic robot vacuum cleaner that he normally sees other people having. I told him, repeated to him that I bought a cheap-a** gadget of course it will not be a gigantic size gadget!

So anyway, I just turn on the vacuum cleaner while my children have their tea-time break. This way, EVERYONE is out of the area where this gadget works and won't end up tramping on it and I just occasionally retrieve it to remove the dirt it has gathered.

It has so far faithfully sucked up paper pieces, hair, dust, eraser shavings, even garlic peels! Our 3-year-old boy helped me to peel garlic every now and then and leaves garlic skins on the floor unknowingly.

 So very easy to operate this gadget and no need to worry about getting batteries yada yada.

At such a price, I really have no regrets so far!

I received no monetary compensation for this review, I used my own money to buy this product for my own use. All opinions expressed in this post are my own. Please do your own research when purchasing products, as your opinions may differ from mine.
