    I need names

    Remember about the SCBWI Conference I posted the other day? Well, the organiser, SCBWI, needs to confirm attendance so that they can prepare enough lunch for everybody. So far, I have one friend, Yoon See, coming with me. I need more friends, possibly those who love to know about being a children’s book writer or illustrator to attend the conference.

    If you are interested please confirm your attendance by leaving your name in the comment box (or e-mail to me: emila@emilayusof.com), latest by 7am tomorrow so that I can submit to the organiser. The more the merrier! Thanks!

    KL: A to Z on Fun Things To Do & Places To Visit With Kids {K}

    atoz K

    Typical fun entertainment for kids at shopping complexes. There are coin-operated rides as well as attendant-operated rides. For a RM1 (50 cent X 2) coin-operated ride, you (your kids) get 3 minutes ride. As for the attendant-operated it depends on the management, some cheap some expensive. Minimum is RM6 for 5 minutes!

    Every time my son saw these rides, he will jump up and down asking for money. Luckily I only shop once a month, so it’s not that bad. Normally I spent Rm16; 10x coin-operated different types of rides (i.e. Bob The Builder, Thomas The Train, Batman car, etc) and 1x attendant-operated ride.

    If you know places around Kuala Lumpur that provide kiddies rides, do let me know! Thanks heap!
