Trip to Genting - Day 1

Daddy and Mummy decided to bring me for a holiday to Genting Highlands ... and the best thing is, we are going with Joel, Camille, Uncle Telang and Auntie Winnie as well !!! It all happened when Joel and family came over to my place for fun, and the adults started to discuss holiday plans ... and then decided to have a trip together, for Joel and me to enjoy !!! Hooray

So on Sat early morning, we went to Boon Lay shopping centre to wait for the bus .... once Joel and I saw each other, we held hands and became inseparable .... ha ha

Cute or not ??? People actually mistook us as twins !!! We look so different wah

Waiting for the bus to set off .... the kids insisted to sit by ourselves and have the adults sitting behind us

The bus moved off at about 8 am to Tuas checkpoint. After which, we stopped over at Yong Peng for a 30 mins break for some food. Daddy and Mummy prepared bread, biscuits and milk for us in case the food in Malaysia was not that hygienic. Throughout the bus journey, Joel and I entertained each other, while Camille was glued to Uncle Telang and Auntie Winnie. Since I woke up quite early, I took my afternoon nap at about 1230 pm, for almost 2 hrs !!!

By the time we reached Genting, it was close to 230 pm. Upon reaching First World Hotel, we saw 2 clowns entertaining the crowd at the lobby

And gosh, I thought we reached a hospital where all these people wer waiting for a queue number to see a doctor !!! Actually they were waiting for a queue number to get a room. Luckily, we booked the superior deluxe room (to accommodate an additional single bed), instead of the standard room, so we only waited 10 mins (about 4 people in queue). But for those who booked the standard room, there were 50+ people in queue !!!

After checking in and settling down in the room, we took a walk around the shopping complex (First World Plaza). There were many boutique shops and eateries (food courts, fast food and restaurants), but there were also quite a number of indoor rides stations. Each ride cost RM8 or we could get an unlimited day pass. Since shopping was out for us, the adults decided to buy the day pass so that they can entertain us with the rides.

First station - the monorail. See how attentive Joel and I were, while Mummy was explaining the monorail route ....

Inside the monorail cabin ....

The monorail circled around the plaza, both indoor and outdoor .... Outdoor adventure will be the second day activity

Next ride : Toot toot train. This was one of my favourite ride .... but on the second day, it was under maintenance!!!!

Then came the carousel, with Joel sitting on the horse beside me. Think the adults must be really bored watching us enjoying these kiddy rides

Then came the ferris wheel .... see how I slump on Uncle Telang while Daddy took a photo of us. Since Joel refused to take this ride, Auntie Winnie had to forgo the ride and Mummy decided to accompany her.

And then this freaked me out !!! A ghost inside the shopping plaza !!! HELP !!!!

The ghost was just promoting the haunted house adventure, but throughout the 3 days, whenever I saw the haunted house from far, I would insist on Daddy or Mummy to carry me and I refused to lift my head up

Then came the Float Rio ... pretty well decorated and that was what attracted me to it at first

And the boat ride. A replica of the famous Venice gondola ... of course the feeling is totally different (according to Mummy)

See the wishing well between the sea horses ... Daddy tried to throw a coin to hit the bell, but failed. I thought I could do better, but ...... sigh

But the best ride on the first day has to be this Bumper Car adventure. My first attempt was quite pathetic ... kept getting stuck or moving in circles .... but things were completely different on the second day .... so stay tuned !!!

After dinner and more rides, we went back to our hotel rooms to end the day. I slept at about 10 pm, dreaming of all the adventure rides !!!
