Right upon entering the area, you will be pamper with game zone. A few games stall to kick start your mood as this is where you can start using your ticket.

Cinema was a slight let down where it just display a huge picture. Thought it might have a video that show Hello Kitty or a preview of this whole thing of Hello Kitty Go Round video among the regions.
Entry is free and do not need any tickets.
Among few workshops, I believe this will take up the longest time as its a picture that you are going to put some glitter items in it.
At official merchandise area, there are few items that certainly do capture my attention which is their collectables.
Clothes Stitch on. .
And this collectables and below are full list of their items.
Basically for me RM 45 is just an entrance to go in selfie and take pictures around with 1 or 2 game you can play. The rest it is really up to you as some of it you might have to spend.
