Genting Last Day

We were all tired but Mummy was still very reluctant to leave Genting for home. Mummy loves holiday and hopes to be on a holiday every other day. Haiz, how I wish Daddy Lim prints $$. All good things have to come to an end.

We packed up, had bfast and sent the kids for 2 hours of fun at their indoor playground. The playground was very much safe and there wasnt much need to chase after the kids. Daddy Lim and I took turns to eye power the kids.

Right after, it was time to take the coach home, a long 6 hours ride. We didnt dare to have lunch, fearing that we would vomit in the coach. The coach was late and it was a mad crowd at the coach terminal. We were so glad when we could finally board the coach to find that there was no entertainment! Luckily, we brought the iPad and Tab2.

Lil Isaac napped shortly after we boarded the coach and had a 2.5hr nap. Phew. The jiejies self entertained with the iPad. When Lil Isaac woke up, there were plenty of "catching" to play and we had to constantly stuff the kids with food. They were hungry and bored.

Our kids were so noisy that I pitied the people who took the same coach as us. To make things worse, Felin was coming down with a virus and wasn't feeling her best and was crying very badly during the second half of the journey. We were so glad when we finally reached our disembarkation point.

We arrived home at 9ish and Lil Shauna helped to unpack the luggage. It was really nice of her and she was a great help.

It was a nice trip overall. The kids had a few tantrums here and there. Daddy Lim too. -.-" I had to constantly remind him that we were on a holiday and should be enjoying ourselves. I felt good throughout the trip. It is too much a waste to spend time sulking and getting angry. However, we were tired the day right after the holiday. There were plenty of tantrums and the adults had limited patience to deal with the tantrums. The kids then get it. Lol. I think this is called the post holiday trauma. And we survived very well without auntie and much help from
Popo. Woohoo!

Genting Day 3

We were all tired on the 3rd day and woke up later than usual. For once, jiejie has to be yanked out of the bed during a holiday.

We had breakfast and headed again to the indoor theme park. Lil Shauna was pretty upset that she couldn't go on the Spinner again. But her spirit lifted shortly when we found a kids friendly roller coaster that she could go on. She went on that roller coaster 3x! My girl is growing up to be a dare devil.

We then went to the indoor heated swimming pool and the kids had a splashing good time. The water was knee high and Daddy Lim happily submerged in the warm water as he eyed power Lil Isaac. Jiejie was happily running around with Fione and Felicia without the need for much supervision.

This pix is a classic. Daddy Lim was enjoying the impact of the water on his shoulders. Lil Isaac saw and immediately imitate his Pappy. So funny. They both stood there for about a min, with water gushing down on Daddy Lim's shouder and on Lil Isaac's "head". Lol.

We had to get Lil Isaac out of the water first as it is easier for me to handle one kid at a time in the bathroom. To coax him, we promised to let him take pix with Dino and friends. Haha, Zaky kena con.
When we finished all that are to do, the girls indulged in their all-time favourite sand art. Lol, they do sand art everywhere!

There was a balloon man making balloons for RM$10 too. Lil Shauna got herself a princess with purple hair and pink dress. Lil Isaac didnt want any. A balloon burst in his hands the day before bcos he was yanking it so much. The revenge of  balloons, serve him right. Hehe.

We went for a few more rides before ending the day.

We went back to the hotel room at about 8pm. The kids dipped in the bathtub, an everyday bath routine before playing some hide and seek and knocked out at about 10pm. Yawnz. The parents then escaped for some fun at the casino. Daddy Lim actually won RM$200 but I lost RM$50 and he spent another RM$25 on an expensive beer. Good night.

Genting Day 2

We went to the outdoor theme park the early next day morning. The 1st ride that Lil Shauna hit on was the Spinner. She met the minimum height of 107cm and that was the most exciting ride that she qualified for in the entire park.

All the other roller coasters and exciting rides are for big people, who are at least 122cm tall. Mummy is waiting for Lil Shauna to grow taller to go for the exciting rides. Lil Shauna says that she will eat more chicken, meat and vegetables when she's back home. Lol.

We went for many other rides thereafter.

Lil Isaac managed to get on a few too. The kids went on the rides over and over again but nobody seem to get bored.

The kids had tattoo too. Lil Shauna had a rose and Lil Isaac had dolphins. The tattoos were supposed to last about a week but they were almost gone one day after we come home. I think Popo washed the kids too much. Lol.

Lil Shauna loves the Spinner so much that she went on it again and again. She even got Fione and Felicia to go on the ride with her. She went on it for 4 times, I think. That was her final ride too before the park closes for the day. During one of the rides, she saw this adult letting go, spreading his arms like the wings of an areoplane and she did likewise. Mummy was so worried that she would slip out of the seat and kept yelling at the grinning girl to hold on tight. Lol. For the subsequent days, she asked for the Spinner too and was disappointed when her request was rejected. She loves thrill rides.

The park closed at 6pm. We had dinner and then went bowling in the night. The lanes were lit in UV lights and we had children lanes - lanes where the gutter were blocked. It was really tiring, not the bowling itself but the constant need to pull the kids away from the lanes and from playing with the heavy bowling balls before somebody's little finger or toes get caught.

We finally went back for the day at 10pm and we were all so tired. Daddy Lim and I went for a coffee after the kids slept and a little walk in the casino. A good day.

Genting Day 1

The trip to Genting was easy. Lil Isaac had his flu medicine and knocked out shortly after we crossed the Malaysia custom. He didn't even need coaxing. Lil Shauna watched Snow White on the entertainment system and asked to sleep at close to 11pm. She too was tired. She had a school excursion to an indoor playground earlier that morning and had phonics class in the evening before we took the coach. I was surprised that she even asked to watch Snow White.

The kids slept all the way to Genting. They didnt even stir at the rest point when Daddy Lim and I alighted for supper. Haha.

Daddy Lim and I didn't have the best rest but managed to catch some eye shut.

We arrived at Genting at about 4am and checked into a small hotel room. The kids were half-awake but gained energy easily. This is us when we first alighted.

This is after barely 10 mins after alighting. Lol.

We had rounds of running around before we hit the hotel room for another 3 hours of rest. Then, we started our "mission". We bought the indoor theme park tickets and had unlimited access to all the rides. It is interesting how things have changed now that the kids are older. Lil Shauna started complaining how the baby rides are boring. Lil Isaac was very excited over most of the rides.

There aren't many rides in the indoor park and the kids went on the same few rides many times. Lil Isaac tried the bumper car on his own and we were so proud that he knows how to step on the pedal, even though his car barely moved. When it finally did, he ended up turning in circles as he doesnt know how to propery steer the car. Lil Shauna wasnt really keen on the bumper car. She said that it was for boys and she was no better when she finally tried to steer one. Lol.

We took the merry go round too. That was another popular choice and we took that many times during the trip.

Lil Isaac's favourite ride was the little car ride for little kids. He went on that at least 8 times over the 4 days! Sometimes, he took it with one of the jiejies, sometimes on his own.

The queue for that ride was exceptionally short despite the number of kids in the queue. They were all squeezing together. Lol.

Lil Shauna was really keen to take the roller coster. She wasn't tall enuff the last time we were here, which was about a year back. She still isn't tall enuff this time. She did get to watch the 4D shows this time and really enjoyed the show. She's a big kid now and takes big kids' ride.

After a day of fun and the lack of proper rest the night before, we turned in soon after 9pm. We were all too tired. Daddy Lim an I didnt even bother to explore Genting when my mum offered to babysit the kids after they went to lala land. we were dying to go lala land too. Lol.

Genting

We are leaving for Genting tomorrow night and will be back on Tuesday. "Excited" is too mild to describe how I feel. This is the first trip this year since our Korea trip and I have waited so long for this. Ooorrhh.. I really do miss Korea.

It is not Genting that I am looking forward to, but the thought that I will be away from routine, from work and from things that are hanging in the air. In addition, I will be with my family, spending good times with Daddy Lim and the kids. I think the kids will have a good time, we will all have a good time.

The bags are packed. It is the first time that we are taking the coach to and back from Genting. Things will work out fine, we will have great fun. Hehe.
