Genting!

We finally book a trip to Genting during the term break in Happy Train.

We took the Friday night bus as I presume this will be the better choice as the kids would end up fast asleep for the entire 7 hours. I was right but the only inconvenience is waking them up for custom clearance n then trying to make them sleep again for the rest of the trip. But it turn up pretty well and they cooperate n slept (could have slept earlier if the tv is not on though!)

We reached First World Bus terminal at abt 5 a.m. Jasper was still fast asleep while Gemma wake up in a daze n then look around (kapo). We then queued to check in our luggages. By then both are awake but we carried them. By the time we check in the luggages, it was abt 5.30 a.m. So I decided to go to try buffet at Genting hotel as it should be open this time. However as it was my first time there (yes in fact all of us!), we got lost... so decided to ask the lobby.

I asked for map but the lady say run out? Then I ask for directions and she kept looking at her computer... Then asked me to wait for the shuttle bus to take us there. Actually I didn't want this but since, well so we waited. 6.05 a.m not here. 6.10... 6.15.... by then 6.30!

Frustrated I told hb let try out own way. Then I saw a BIG road sign outside signalling to Genting hotel. Decided to try that route... it was a mistake as it was outside and v cold/windy... misty too

anyway we climbed up a small hill n reach Theme hotel! still no sight of Genting hotel. Thinking that this trip is going to be a horrible one, luckily the lobby staff there told me there is a link connecting to that hotel. Finally found it n then realised it was also connected to First World Hotel!!! so malu man... but well it was our first time so we learn....

The kids were still happy I guess... look here. (Gemma always making this cute signs as she do not really know how to make a victory like gor gor)




We ended up eating at another buffet at Resort Kampong at Resort hotel. It was nice! esp the lemak rice.

After breakfast, we proceeded to buy our theme park tickets.

They are taking the rides. First time taking this kind of rides in amusement actually... n they enjoyed it and drive like a pro.



In fact they go many rounds and almost tried the whole range of cars available!

We also have family rides together.






The outside theme park was fun too. but v cloudy that day though! We tried almost everything except for the thrill rides.

It's Gemma first time on a swing! I miss swing too! and she so pro man in it! She enjoyed it alot.









Making scary face at me!

The next day... very nice weather! and we are going strawberry park later. Someone took pic of Gem as he said she looked cute.


We took a nice dimsum bugget at Genting Palace at Genting hotel of cos... Delicious ... even the kids ate despite they have taken their milk already. The century egg porridge taste very good.

At the restaurant...



We took Awana airway to Chee Swee station. The genting one is down for maintenance.


The temple... nice

We took a cab to strawberry park at Gohtong Jaya after tat.





Mushrooms... how they are grown. a lesson to my kids...


Lunch time so we went opp to eat since Jasper wanna rice. There, he saw this swimming pool and wanted to go inside! I then tell him we will go try the rainforest splash pool at Genting.

After lunch we went back to do shopping (there were some shops there) at the strawberry park. The kids were sleeping already. Bought snacks for both family and colleagues. Sebas also bought his man utd stuff there... ya he is a fan.

We went back hotel and I brought them to the splash pool and they enjoyed themselves.
By then, it was almost evening and I called bus 9100 to the mushroom farm to eat seafood dinner.

Back at first world plaza,

Third day and last day... so fast... since last day, we tried the buffet at the Genting Hotel. The one we wanted to try on first day.


Jasper ate a donut and plain bread there. Gemma too ate a bit of donut. There is plenty of food so quite worth to go as it was cheaper on weekdays! yes we went on a Monday.


The lemak rice is not as good as the first one we tried though.


Thereafter we went arcade... had so much fun playing and receiving tickets.


Lunch time we ate at Causeway restaurant. Sebas order dumpling noodles which was wrong choice for that time as need more time cooking and we only had 15 min!!! My rice came earlier and I ate finish before his noodles came... imagine


In fact it was Sebas birthday today! Happy Birthday!


We quickly paid $ and I took Jasper to buy his donuts, while Sebas n Gem go take lugguages. By the time I reach the lobby, it was almost 2.30! we were supposed to reach bus terminal by 2.30!
Anyway we managed to turn up in time and the kids actually slept at 3 p.m! too tired after all the playing! The kids slept n so I also took a nap whiel the bus moved off. By 6 p.m I thought I shld wake them up b4 they turned owls by nite fall... Once awoken, Jasper complained hungry then Gem. So they ate the donuts. After that, thinking that they get bored, I asked them to sing songs for me. They sang and sang. In fact louder and louder until I asked to shhh heee
But I glad they are in a happy mood. Someone even commented they are so cute...We reached home earlier at 9.30 p.m. Since it was papa birthday so we decided to go for ice cream with the kids at Swensons...
