Genting Highlands

Was in Genting Highlands with my family from 3 September to 5 September. We took a package from Grassland and paid S$92 per person inclusive of a two-way coach ticket and 2 nights' stay at First World Hotel, meals not provided.

The coach left Boon Lay Shopping Centre at 7AM on 3 September and reached Genting Highlands at 245PM. We went straight to our rooms after checking in. Stayed on the 15th storey of tower 2. No view to comment 'coz we stayed in standard rooms where the windows face those of the opposite tower.



Our room.

We went down to First World Plaza after leaving our bags in the rooms. Mommy needed to get a comb, so we went to Sinma and ended up buying more than what we need, as usual. Bought some tidbits from the snack shop too.

Dinner was at Hou Mei. I had Hawaiian chicken chop with BBQ sauce. Tastes good but the chicken chop was a bit hard.

Wanted to catch Monster House at the cineplex after dinner but we missed the last show of the day. Went back to the room to take a shower instead.

Sis and I went to First World Plaza again for more shopping after dressing up. Went in to Vincci to look at the shoes but there was nothing I fancy. Same for the other shops there. Ended up not buying anything and went back to our room to sleep. Kept waking up in the middle of the night 'coz not used to sleeping so early.

Woke up very early the next morning to wash up. Had breakfast at Burger King. Ordered a King set which includes a cup of hot mocha, a burger and a packet of hushbrown. The hushbrown does not come in one big piece, but in many small round pieces. Never eaten such cute hushbrown before. HeE~!

Bought two tickets to the indoor and outdoor theme parks for sis and I.

My tag.

We went to the outdoor theme park first, which was a very wise decision (by me! =P) because it rained after we were done with most of the rides outdoor. Went on the Pirate Train, Matahari, Cyclone, Spinner, Flying Dragon, Double Deck Carousel and Super Toboggan. We went to Dinosaurland and went boating too.

Me on Spinner!

On the Matahari.

Sis and I on the boat to Dinosaurland.

Boating!

Me pedalling away.

Nice scenery on the boat.

On the Double Deck Carousel. Reliving childhood. =D

Look! We even saw a London bus! It is actually a cafe.

We went back in to the indoor theme park at First World Plaza when we got bored of the outdoor rides. Got on a few other rides there.

On the Ferris Wheel.

On the Venice Gondola. We got the whole boat to ourselves. HeE~!



Little Venice.


On the Rio Float.

Sneaked into the casino with daddy and mommy at midnight. Stayed there till 2AM. An eye-opener, but not to my liking. The smoke in there makes me tear. Moreover, I don't gamble. Went there out of curiousity.

Checked out on Tuesday morning and took the coach back to Singapore at 230PM. It was raining and the roads were slippery. Fortunately, the driver was quite skillful and we reached Singapore safely at 9PM.

Though I enjoyed the trip, it feels good to be home. =)
