On the night before, we told Ern about Butterfly Farm and she was so excited it. Kept on mentioned "Butterfly" or "Butterfly Farm' the whole evening! A note to self, never mention any plan on 'kai kai'! Else, the 'walking reminder' keeps on 'reminding' :-(
She is all ready on the next morning for the farm visit! Obviously, she is not a born model, she doesn't pose well for photo (daddy will be very happy to read this)
It was like a 45 mins drive from home as Butterfly Farm is at the other end of Penang Island. Not much crowd as there were only 3-4 cars when we reached the farm.
RM10 entrance fee for Malaysian (by showing our MyKad for 50% discount) while Ern got free admission. Hubby and I were prepared to walk out immediately if Ern freaks out from the freely flying butterfly right after we get in.
To our surprise, our girl didn't and infect, she liked it so much! She was jumping high and low chasing after the butterfly and keep on pointing to the direction she wanted to go. It was a relief for us to see that.
The only thing that hold her back a bit is the BIG turtle. It was really huge, i think almost the same height as Ern. She leaned back a bit on daddy but still watch the turtle.
Daddy and I were lucky enough to have butterfly rest on our hands. So, our girl also "ng chap xu" by reaching her hand out, hoping the butterfly to do the same thing. After 3-4 times of attempt, it wasn't successful.
The farm wasn't really a BIG farm as what we think. Within 30mins, we covered all the areas by seeing all reptiles, fish and butterfly. Infect, we made 2 rounds because Ern didn't want to go home, keeping on saying " I want to see butterfly! This way!"
In the end, we have to coax her by telling her we are going eat "chocolate sundae" (from McD) before this little fella followed us home. We wanted to keep our promise to take her to McD but before we reached, she fell asleep although it wasn't close to her nap time.
