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.  

gardens by the bay

the 2 friends meet

we meet up with kat and her family for a cool evening walk at gardens by the bay. it has been a long since we meet up. we had planned to take the ocbc skyway walk. however, the queue is so long that we have to give it a miss. we end up walking around by the gardens, enjoying the cool breeze.

 

sitting on the big pebble

yu ze spotted the spider web by the side lamp. they spotted a few small frogs and a beetle along the walk. these are things that we adults will missed. i guess we are not observant for such things. 

spider web

its nice catching up with each other. small group meeting are good as well since its fuss free and less logistic to handle. as the kids grow, its harder for us to meet up. everyone is busy with their own activities or enrichment classes for the kids. hopefully, we can do more meet up in future.  

baby boy

i went to visit my close friend at tmc. she had delivered a 3.8 kg baby boy yesterday. baby refuse to come out to see the world, so mummy got to to induce him out. she had chosen 1st sep so that baby have a holiday on his birthday every year. he is so cute, rosy and with double eye lid and definitely doesn't look like he is a new born. so happy for her, she is the first among us to be a mummy. so now she can tell us all about it and be our teacher. hahah....

caught a mermaid

this is a fishing activities organised by my best friend's school. its also through this outing that i got to know my darling. he is my best friend's colleague. my friend is trying to match make us of course its without my knowledge. throughout the trip, she tried to leave me alone with him while she go chit-chat with other colleagues.

its after the trip, i heard from my friend that others who were on the trip thought i was his girlfriend. there is actually another girl (his colleague's friend) who is interested in him then, but with me around, she can't get near him. hahah.....

whenever he tried to date me, he will get my friend involved in the beginning so that i will go. as time goes, it became the 2 of us only. before we were together, he went tibet for holiday and he actually brought my photo along so that he can look at me when he miss me. i know this the day before he left. hehheh....

about 5 months later, my darling got himself a mermaid from this outing. hahah....
