genting & kuala lumpur

our long awaited short getaway is over. 5 days 4 nights trip to genting and kuala lumpur with jiali and family. this trip was booked way back in feb when air asia was having promotion. we bought our tickets at $50 each all in.

 

jiali don't want to travel down from genting in the night, so we decided to stay 2 nights in genting and 2 nights in kl itself. we booked our hotels on our own and got leelian to help book a mini van for our transfer.

 

queue for rides

genting seems to be pretty cold this year compare to last year. we checked our luggage in at the hotel and left for our lunch while waiting for our rooms to be ready. the kids goes crazy when they saw all the rides available at the indoor theme park. we bought 2 days, all park pass for all. jiali being preggy get a discounted adult pass.

 

bumper car

we covered all the available and suitable rides in the indoor theme park except for the reindeer ride (which we took last year). some of the rides, the kids went more than once. due to the cold weather, we covered some of the rides at the outdoor theme park. most of the rides at the outdoor theme park were not really suitable for them. they are either too young or too short for it.

 

yu xi developed fever in the late afternoon on the day of arrival. she was grouchy the moment the medication effect was over. her fever lasted for 2 days till we left genting. overall, she had enjoyed herself too despite the fever.

twin towers

as usual, we check our luggage in the hotel and left for lunch while waiting for the room to be ready. we spend our day shopping at mid valley megamall and the gardens. we went on the hop on hop off bus ride the next day. we took the train from mid valley station to kl sentral to take the bus. we went to twin towers, kl tower, bukit bintang and chinatown. we couldn't catch the last bus ride at 730pm so we took a cab back to hotel on our own.



kl tower

we checked out early on our last day for the driver to bring us to have local breakfast. he brought us to chocolate factory too though no production line to show. next, we went to batu cave. the 17 X ?? (don't know how many) steps were a killer. there were many monkeys along the stairs too. one of them give jiali a big fright that she screamed. then, we went to kidszania. however, we had to miss it cos they were fully booked for the morning session by 13 schools. :(  we had our lunch nearby and shopped a bit before the driver came back to pick us up for berjaya times square, which was our last stop.

overall, it was a fun and nice trip. though, i don't seems to have done any shopping. everyone did come back with something.
