Happy Holidays: Genting 2022 Day 5

All good things and holidays will come to an end. Daddy Lim lamented that he doesn't handled end-holiday syndrome well. Lol. The bus home was scheduled at 12pm and there wasn't much time to do much. Popo had some good luck at the casino and had cleverly decided to pocket her winnings and bring the good luck home. We benefited from a bfast treat from Popo and the kids got pocket money to spend at the arcade. Nice. 

The kids spent all their money on the pokimon and claw machines. Lil Shauna had wanted to claw something as well. Using the  very last tokens, she indeed managed to do so unintentionally. She was aiming to claw a particular soft toy and incidentally caught the one next to it. Lol. 

Intentional or not, it was a happy ending. 

Their Pokimon haul.

We returned to the room for last bit of packing up and headed to the bus terminal on time only to find the bus late. Zzzz. 

It was a turnaround bus. We had to wait for the bus to send people from Singapore and then bring us back. 

The bus ride down the winding road was bad. Daddy Lim was so car sick that he almost puked. I thought the rest of the journey was OK. It didn't take long before the 1st stop for 土产. Popo was very generous. I am sure the winning helped and we ended with 5 big plastic bags. We went on our way again and everybody found their own way to cope with the long journey. I took a nap, trolled social media and simply enjoyed stoning and doing mindless stuff. 

Time passed so quickly when I wanted to enjoy the last bit of spacing out. Soon we were at Yong Peng for snack break at 4ish. Popo bought more stuff and we ended up with 6 bags in total. Not long after, we were crossing the familiar 2nd Link bridge.

The immigration was smooth on both sides. Other than us, there were only a couple other tourist buses. Very smooth and we were not stopped from bringing the chewing gums home. Hoho. 

It was 8ish when we arrived home via a very tiny 7 seater grab car. Luckily, we only had 1 luggage bag (and 6 big plastic bags) and squeezed into the car alright. It was a mad frenzy trying to unpack and load the washing machine before going to pick Cookie from the "babysitters". We then exchanged our kids for Cooks and left the kids there. Lol. Good deal. 

Cookie got a deal of his life too. His staycation has resulted in an upgrade of his humble abode to a landed property. My brother's family has too many of these and gifted Cookie the landed property. 

I have to say that Cookie looked really happy with the extra space. Or maybe he has always been this happy but now I can see him clearly. We let him keeps his landed property. 

He totally enjoyed sleeping in the upsize litter box. Lol. 

Other times, I can't find him at all, barrowed somewhere in the thick bedding. 

I am glad Cookie enjoyed his holidays as much as we did. 

The kids had been exclaiming that this is their best holidays ever. I think any holidays would be the "best" after a 2+ years break. The climate absolutely helped. Genting is a self-contained, fuss free holiday destination. We didn't have to think about the agenda and there are plenty of food options. It definitely isn't as cheap as I imagined a Malaysia holiday would be, given that it is a holiday resort afterall. Popo enjoyed herself too, though she spent most of the time cooping in the casino alone. Must be the winning. Hahaha.

We are thankful for the safe journeys and the financial ability. Would we go to Genting again? Hmmmm... now that travel has opened up, there are so many other options to fight for our time and money. Hohoho. Probably one day, when we want to be thrown around like rag dolls on rides and have a brainless holiday again.
