We are going Genting again in mid April. We are flying on 15 Apr, which is both my bday and our 4th year wedding anniversary. Long, long time ago, I promised myself that we will spent every wedding anniversary overseas but Lil Shauna spoils it all. The 1st one was in Taiwan, the 2nd one I was heavily preggy with Lil Shauna and didnt go anywhere, the 3rd one, Lil Shauna was too young to appreciate and we ended up in Sentosa. So this time, we are gg Genting.
I love gg on holidays and had been travelling so frequently recently. We went Melbourne in Dec 09, HKG in Feb 10 and now we are going Genting. Hohoho. These trips just gave me something to look forward to. I love the feeling of being away from work totally and spent $$ without worries (budgeted lah). Genting is a nice destination too. It is 45 mins by flight and there are so many kiddy rides to entertain Lil Shauna and Popo will love to lose herself in the casino. ;p It is a one stone kills many bird destination.
Whenever we are thinking of gg Genting, we will always jio my bro's family. I supposed Lil Shauna will love the company when she's on one of those kiddy rides. :) But we will be very much on our own this time even though my bro's family is gg. Why? Bcos my SIL's bestie's family is coming along. The same lady with a pair of 2+ yo twins who went HKG with us. I call her the Super (Influential) Friend. Hohoho.
I dun really noe her, seen her on a few occasions and went to the HKG trip with her but not much direct contact too since we are all busy with our own kids. When we are not, I was too busy getting sick. Lol! But I can really see the influence that she has on my SIL. Maybe bcos they are both SAHM, so they can relate to each other better and they have more time to spend with each other when the whole world is working. They have become pretty "sticky". It reminds me of my secondary school days, how I must do everything (including gg to the toilet) with my bestie. You get my drift.
So, after the HKG trip, I wasnt surprised that SF is coming along for the Genting trip. In fact, my SIL never fancy Genting much. It is my bro. He too inherited my mum's genes. So my SIL invited SF and my bro's family probably wun come along if SF is not coming. SF wanted to go Genting but she had wanted to drive there. And so, my bro's family is also driving there. My bro probably will agree to anything so long as they end him in Genting. I think SF isnt keen to go if they have to take plane (save $$) or if they have to drive alone. Great, good luck! And I had been saying the same thing to my bro since I know that they are gg to drive there + whenever I traveled in his car. I and Lil Shauna had been tagging along with my bro's family every Sunday since Daddy Lim is on night shift. Every Sunday afternoon is a nightmare. It leaves me more tired than any other weekends. Basically, somebody must quarrel and cry. Often, it is Fione and it is bad, She can cry at the slightest discomfort or at the slightest thing that doesnt go her way. In that little confine space, it drives one crazy. Sometimes, I really hope to duct tape her mouth. Yes, crazy and evil auntie here.
My bro had been really optimistic about driving to Genting. They will start really early and he thinks that the kids will sleep. I think gg to Genting is not difficult. Afterall, they are all full of hope and energy. Yes, the kids will sleep and will probably give their best behavior at the promise of Genting. It is the returning part. They will probably leave in the early afternoon after they checked out. Imagine the way back when there's no more promise of fun, where everyone is tired, patience and energy has worn out. And they will probably hit the jam when they are back at the causeway. I duno what else to say, again, I can only wish them luck.
And at Genting itself, I wonder again how the 2 family will handle 4 kids. My mum will be constantly lured to the casino. She had said that she doesnt want to help my bro look after the kids there. My bro himself will have a hard time resisting temptations. At HKG, in the evening and night, my bro and SF's hb + my mum and Daddy Lim looked after the kids while my SIL and SF went shopping (and I lay sick in the bed). Who is gg to do that for them this time? When night comes, everybody will want to go to the casino. I am clueless. Yet, my bro remains optimistic. Sometimes, when I looked at how the 2 girls misbehaved, I am amazed at my bro's patience, but I think he needs alot more this time.
Still, I hope we will enjoy our trip. With Jaclyn and Daddy Lim (I was alone with Lil Shauna the last trip to Genting cos Daddy Lim got stuck at work), life will definitely more relaxed. And when things get too complicated, I think it will be nice for my family to disappear for awhile. I think we will still enjoy ourselves. Call me selfish, but we are there to holiday, not to babysit others' kids and let other people enjoy. Ahh... bad me.
Mummy Lim
