Weekend stay at Genting - Day 1

Yes! The day has finally come. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Although it is just a trip to Genting, we were looking forward to it as though we are going to faraway places like Japan, Korea etc..

SGFemale's mum and her friend joined us since they are the one who sponsored the hotel stay and of course our son is going with us too.

We woke up pretty early in the morning and by 6.35am, we were ready to leave for the pick-up point which is at Boon Lay Shopping Centre. We were lucky to have meet a taxi driver who is about to start work for the day. Although the entire car reeks very strongly of fresh cigarette smell, we decided to take it since it is very hard to get a cab during peak hours.

We had a bit of breakfast at the coffeeshop nearby before boarding the coach with my mother-in-law and her friend. Although the facilities inside the coach did not live up to SGMale's expectation but it is still pretty comfortable and cosy.

The coach stopped twice during the entire trip, allowing us to take a quick trip to the loo and brunch. We also took a few naps along the way and we finally reached our destination at around 1.30pm. The weather there was indeed very cooling and nice. We didnt sweat a bit although we had to drag our luggage all the way to the hotel.

The hotel rooms has inner doors that interlink each other and before we realise it, our son was already busy running in and out of the rooms. After some quick unpacking, we left for lunch at the hotel buffet restaurant. The food there seemed nice probably because we were so so hungry..;)

We toured around the theme park vicinity after lunch as well as doing some windows shopping. We had dinner at Pizza Hut and we took turn to take care of our son while the rest tries their luck inside the casino. The casino has hundreds of jackpot machines and our favourite are those 1 cents machines. Imagine having 1000 credit to start with by donating $10RM.

We took our tired and sleepy son back to hotel to have a early night while SGFemale's mum and her friend continue on to donate their hard-earned monies to the casino.

We had natural aircon inside the room as the temperature at night dipped low while we slowly drifted into our dreamland...
