The night was tough. It was a combination of cannot sleep well on 1st night, flashing lights outside the windows and noisy motor vehicles. Daddy Lim had warned to turn off ALL hp alarms. I had my watch set to ring at 7am, and started the day with a kickboxing hitt in the small hotel room. It still worked, though a little crowded. Hoho. I invited the family to join but they only looked at me blankly and tried to stay out of my way while they wriggled to the toilet and back.
We had some time to burn before we met the Chan Family (and for me to finish my hitt) for bfast. Wherever the power socket is, it is where the crowd gathered.
Bfast was at this Malaysian foodcourt place and it seemed like half the Genting decided to eat there as well. The food wasn't too bad, just that the Q for food from the different stalls took some time. The parents felt like parent birds feeding the little birdies. At least our kids are old enough; Auntie H still had to feed Tin and Pop before herself. I feel tired just by looking at her. Hoho.
We had some time to burn before the theme park opens at 11am. I headed back to the hotel to replenish water and snacks. The rest headed to the little garden that our hotel room should have faced. Like always, the kids had fun regardless of the venue, so long as the companion is right.
Finally, time for the theme park! Happily, happily.
We did our homework, googled and found that there is this VR (Virtual Reservation) that works like a fast/ VIP pass. The theme park is not fully opened but 75% of the rides are. The youtube video that we watched introduced the different rides and which ones are worth the VRs as there are only 4 VRs available/ ticket. It was then trying to sync with the Chan Family's app during bfast, only to be told that we did it wrongly as we didn't "create group". Once educated by the theme park staff, we got it right and done quickly. Yay! Then we realised that we could do more than 4 VRs, whatever lah. Time to go! Our 1st VR ride was scheduled at 12pm.
There is this super cool looking motorbike ride, which unfortunately is still WIP. We at least took a picture with the very cool bike. I felt like a biker chick again.
The park wasn't as crowded as I expected it to be. We managed to take 2 rides, that we had booked VR for, without the need to even use the VR.
This actually felt like that old chair-chain-swing ride but with a harder structure. Then we went for a 3D ride that was actually quite cool but left me dizzy.
Then the kids utilised the VR and took the new "chair-chain-swing" ride again. I no need; tried once and it is good enough.
We tried this silly, kiddish Night in the Museum shooting game.
Dum Dum, give me my Gum Gum.
I got high score ok.
Random pictures time.
Who doesn't like bubbles?
This rotate upside down ride was what we used our next VR for.
Pop met the height requirement and was "bluffed" to take her 1st ever upside down ride. Auntie Dawn had the honor to take the ride with her. Haha.
The bigger kids love this ride and kept going and going. I one time enough already. Hoho.
We actually didn't quite figure out how the VR work. Along the way, we could book more VRs and we booked whatever we could. We also took some easy rides.
The big kids were willing to entertain us but not always. Along the way, they ran off on their own for some rides.
We did survive until the park closes at 6pm. Yes, we played 7 hours in the park but with a lunch and a long coffee break for whoever needed it. The Starbucks was mostly empty.
The tunnel marking our exit.
We had dinner at a very cool outdoor, rooftop place. We got roasted meat and seafood basket.
And very tired kids. Hoho. Though tired, they still wanted to go to the arcade after dinner. We unfortunately lost our way and decided, after a long walk, that we should go back to rest instead.
It was an absolute right choice bcos we were exhausted. Lil Shauna fell asleep shortly. Daddy Lim still had energy to go for a drink with Uncle C. Zaky didn't last long as well. Good night to our 2nd night in Genting.
