Genting

We are back from a short Genting trip. Not many pix from the trip bcos we are too busy chasing after the kids! Cameras are a passé for us, we are only armed with our iPhones and pix are only provided that we have time to rip them out for some precious moments.

We went with Nainai and Popo via the night coach. The trip was pretty alright. Lil Shauna has a seat on her own and almost slept through except for her waking up halfway through the journey to climb on top of Daddy Lim to sleep the rest of the way. I shared the seat with Lil Isaac and was thankful that the seat was really wide.

As usual, we didn't see much of Popo during the trip. There aren't much to do for Nainai but I think she was just really happy to spend time with the grandkids, fussing over them.


The Chan family was there too, we managed to meet them for part of the trip and the girls had loads of fun at the outdoor theme park. Playmates are good. Lil Shauna loves having playmates to run around and act silly. This is us in the cable car down the mountain. The last time I took the cable car in Genting was a looonnnggg time ago.


Lil Isaac is more participative as compared to our last Genting trip 6 months ago. He went on quite a number of rides and actually enjoyed them. I am so looking forward to him walking and taking those rides on his own. Hoho.



We came back by flight on Sat afternoon. The 2 hours taxi ride down the mountain, 2 hours wait at the airport, 40 mins plane ride and 30 mins taxi home from Changi airport sound really daunting, especially with a tiger who hates to be confined. Luckily, the princess was willing to stick with Daddy Lim and the tiger took his nap during both taxi rides. We survived the journey and it wasn't bad. It is either we had loads of help, the kids are easier now or we are getting better at parenting. Lol.

The only painful part? I was so tired by the time we were home but the kids were bursting with energy! I was willing the time to pass faster and the kids to sleep earlier, both unsuccessful. Boo! I can't be more glad at bedtime.

Now that we are back, it is only right that we plan for the next trip. We do need to look forward in life, right?

Genting Trip

P.S - a back dated post.

We took so few pix this trip bcos I was sick and sleep deprived. To prevent Lil Isaac from pulling my hair, I constantly wear a ponytail. Ended up, I was haggard and I think MA looked better than me and I looked more like the maid. -.o" I will thus only blog about the special things that took place during the trip.

This is Lil Isaac's first overseas trip but he is a little too young to understand what is going on. This is also Lil Shauna's first night coach trip to Genting. We usually fly there. Lil Shauna enjoys the trip much better this time.

The journey to Genting was very much alright. Lil Isaac fell asleep shortly after we boarded the coach. Lil Shauna was generally well behaved too and slept most part of the journey there. However, she was still nursing a slight flu, which explains the few tantrums that she threw in Genting. In fact, so many of us were sick. I was down with gastric flu and was with a fever until Sunday. I was so worried that I will get stopped at the custom and sent home. Lil Isaac was still dripping mucus and the 2Fs were also sick. It must be the must-fall-sick-before-holiday syndrome.

Lil Shauna has grown much taller than the 90cm cut off and needs a ticket for the indoor theme park. She enjoys the rides so much more this time. We also went to the heated water playground. Lil Shauna was also on a lucky streak and actually won a big prize at one of the ti kam stall. She won a big soft toys and we have no lack of soft toys at home but that proud look on her face when she took over the prize was priceless. In fact, she was Fione's envy that day.

Lil Shauna was also old enough to take one of the kiddy rides on her own. She was in the queue on her own and board the ride on her own. When I was looking at her, my heart went all soft, realizing that my little girl has grown up. Awwwwwww..

Daddy Lim and I also managed to sneak off both nights for some "us" time after the kids turned in. On the 2nd night, we even tried our luck at the casino! Our intention was only to spend some time alone but we actually won some money, enough to pay for the taxi trip from Genting to the airport. Hehe. It was the school holidays and the theme parks and shops were operating on extended hours. Daddy Lim and I much enjoyed ourselves after the kids turned in. On Sunday night, when the sky was clear enough, there was even fireworks! Lil Isaac enjoys the lights in the sky better than jiejie.


We flew back to Singapore and it is Lil Isaac's 1st plane ride. Lil Shauna insisted for me to sit beside her and I ended up with 2 kiddos, which is not a very clever move but we survived the trip. Both kids fell asleep when we landed and we have a somewhat peaceful taxi ride home.

The end of our trip... I think it would have been more enjoyable if we were all healthy. I had wanted to visit Korea or japan or at least Hong Kong before this trip. But I realized that Lil Isaac is really a little too young to travel. With the lack of photos, I think he really wouldn't know that he had been to genting when he was 4 mths old.
