I am a Blogging Daddy of four. Our kids are roaming Singapore to bring you FUN,
This blog is use to capture our kids' growing up phases, and we want you to leave our blog with a smile :)
Introducing Lego Nexo Knights. Think old school Lego Kingdom, knights, shields, and catapults. These kits have all been upgraded!
Getting kids engaged at a young age. Since young, Boon Xin always find it more fulfilling to join her brothers’ adventures.
What has not changed is the way LEGO allows kids to exercise their creativity and resourcefulness.
From the instruction menu, everyone can identify the parts and quantity. Fixing them in sequence, block by block and module by module, kids managed to build everything with minimum supervision.
Short Summary of LEGO Nexo Knights :
– 5 Knights, Clay, Macy, Lance, Aaron and Axl
– Their mentor wizard, Merlock 2.0.
Together, they have to fight Jestro (the evil jester) and their lava monster army.
Boon Yee taking his Lava Smasher down a path of destruction. (I think it is more fun to play the bad guy as their toys are always more cool!)
When I say hi-tech, these Nexo Knights can be upgraded in their app (WOW!). Download Merlock 2.0 app to bring the game to another level (and dimension!)
Merlock 2.0 is free on iTunes and Google Play. Kids’ characters can collect unique powers by scanning special codes.
Meanwhile, kids are embarking on another challenge, constructing the Fortrex (mobile castle!)
Checkout the new Nexo Knights cartoon series on Youtube, and do pop by LEGO Nexo Knights website for the latest updates.
Twin Island hopping Sabah, we did everything, well almost every sports available on the menu 🙂
There are 5 islands at Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Manukan, Manutik and Sapi (map) are the three more popular islands, and your operator will decide which islands to go on the actual day. All three offer decent water clarity (ie can see fishes) but take note bread-feeding is discouraged.
Ready to board our speedboat, Marine Park is only a 20min boat ride away.
During our Twin Island hopping Sabah, you will spot clear water everywhere.
Sabah snorkeling
You know a beach is good when you can spot shoals of fishes around the jetty! Kids will be squealing in delight, and we wish we could jump from the jetty!
Parasailing was new to me. I paired up with Boon Xin, and Boon Wee with Boon Yee (No1 and No 3). The anticipation is strongest before we launch, but once we are up in the air, absolute freedom as we enjoy the sea wind. Wave to your family and friends, look far ahead over the horizon 🙂
Parasailng RM 180 (per pair, about 8 minutes) and Banana Boat RM 40 (per person). Banana boat allows our family to grab each other for dear life as we bump up and down over the waves, if we fall off, just float and wait for rescue (first photo above)
After lunch, we were eager to try more adventures. Meanwhile, Boon Xin enjoying some selfie moment with my GoPro.
Flying Fox! Coral zip experience was too cool, imagine zipping between two islands, Gaya and Sapi (RM 80 per person)
No time to shout, the zipline is too short to feel any tension or fear, just Jump and enjoy the pristine water below. Everyone had to jump, some hesitated but everyone made it across! (Tip: Wear footwear as there is a 10min uphill small hike and pavement is full of pebbles ouch!)

Clear water, rich corals behind Sapi island. Fun snorkeling experience but those above 1.7m might accidentally step on the sharp corals, be careful. We spend almost 45 minutes in the cool water.
Relaxing in the calm waters, while awaiting our return ferry.
One of the best guides ever, friendly with kids, always smiling, Kor Kor (brother) Kunik frm Amazing Borneo 🙂
Twin Island hoping Sabah experience went beyond our expectation, the most impressive thing was everyone was so game and adventurous! Family Fun together, we challenged our limits today.
Boon Yee : Are we ready going to Fly between the islands!
