surprise...surprise..! but i'm not...

with papa at the Aquaria

today, we brought Jihan to Aquaria KLCC...she loves seeing fish, so this is a good exposure for her...

upon entering the Aquaria, we stumbled upon the fish mascot of the Aquaria....me n hubby were so excited seeing the mascot waving at us and i told Jihan to shake hand with the mascot....but she was scared and screamed loudly...!!!! what a bad start!...it spoiled her mood throughout the day...! i thought it was nice to take photo with the mascot but it didnt happen as planned...

i wonder if we were to go to disneyland to see Jihan's favourite cartoon characeter - Mickey Mouse - the real mascot, will she scream that loud..??

my cousin's son had the same experience when he was small with an A&W bear...once he was a bit bigger, the mother told him that it was only a person wearing a clothes that looks like a bear...since then, he was not scared of any mascots or even clown...

once i saw 1 family had their lunch at a foodcourt... at that time, there was a clown lingering around to entertain the visitors....so this clown went to the family's table...one of their children was startled seeing the clown's at his face and jumped to the father!! very unfortunate his plate of rice also fell to the floor....the child must be very frightened at that time..!!! i must blame the clown for doing that!

some children loves colourful, funny mascots/clowns but some are just scared seeing big, funny "creature" in front of them....they see the same thing on the TV but never expect that in real life it will be really big!...
