Our Genting Trip 2009

I just realised that the last time when we brought Xinru to Genting was Nov 2007, also around this time of the year....



This time round, my dad booked the room for us so we did not book thru Grassland. We booked our coach tickets from Citi-Exchange at Kovan.. Their coach are not bad, quite spacious but the only thing that don't have is personal tv. Nevertheless, we brought along a portable DVD player to entertain Xinru. Surprising, we did not played the DVD player for long....



26 Nov 2009 (Thursday)


I woke Xinru up at 545am for milk.. She was fast awake cause the night before, before she slept, i told her that if she is not going to wake up at 1 call, then she can sleep at home with Granny.... and the night before the trip, she broke her record... She slept before 10pm... cool....


With just a 1 time call of 'Xinru, its time to wake up', she woke up.. but can see that she is feeling a bit draggy... After she woke up and drank her milk, i got her changed and packed those last minute stuff into our luggage and went downstairs.



We reached Kovan at around 7am, registered and waited for the bus. We decided to go for breakfast at the market.



We finally boarded the bus at 720am and the coach left on time at 730am. After the 2 drop point to clear customs, it was already 930am. Xinru felt asleep in the coach and within 1hr, she woke up. All the way to our 1st rest stop - Yong Peng. We have a 30mins break and we had a rush lunch and make our way to the coach and continue our journey.



As i was having headache, i changed seat with hubby so i can sleep better. An hour after i sleep, i work up and Xinru was sleeping. She slept another 1hr on the coach and when she woke up, we were about there. We finally reached Genting at 3pm.



We met dad after we alight and dad took the coach back to Singapore. We proceed to the hotel and went out for dinner. We had noodles at Hou Ming Cafe. After eating, we went back to the hotel to bath and rest. When we woke up, its about 6+,7pm... We went for dinner at the foodcourt. Xinru had soup with rice, hubby took fried kway teow while i had my western food. After the dinner, we went to purchased Indoor Theme Park ticket. We completed all the Indoor Theme Park Ride that Xinru can played which includes the Indoor Ferries Wheel, Car Ride, Merry Go Round, Rio Float, Reindeer Ride and Boat. It is already like 90% of the ride.. After that, we went back to hotel and rest for the day.

Xinru woke up earlier than at home. She woke up around 645am and thank god there was children programme screening on the TV. I was half asleep and half awake while she watches the TV programme and entertain herself.. I got her to wake up daddy up at 8am. After washing up and everything, we went down for breakfast. We had Tim Sum while Xinru eat Wanton Noodles.. After which, our Theme Park adventures starts.....



After purchasing the Full Day Unlimited Theme Park ticket, our first destination was Kid's Bumper Car. Xinru got her first experience on the bumper car. She enjoyed herself but she did not want to go for 2nd round cause other kids bumped on her... keke..... Next, we went to Outdoor Theme Park where we covered Jumbo Ride, Aeroplane ride, Cowboy ride, Playground and Pirate Ride. We played some games at the stalls in the park and Xinru won a 7-8inch's panda soft toy. It was closed to 1pm already, so we make our way back for lunch at the foodcourt and went back to the hotel. Xinru took nap and woke up around 5+pm afterwhich we went for another round of Outdoor Theme Park to covered the balance of the ride which includes Outdoor Merry Go Round, Monorail, Outdoor Ferris Wheel, Ribena Cup and some other rides. We left the Theme Park around 7+ and had our dinner at Ah Yi Abalone Restaurant. After the dinner, we went back to hotel to bath and rest for the day....



28 Nov 2009 (Saturday)


It was the day to go back to Singapore. Xinru was ok with that but mentioned that she wants to come again.... In the morning she woke up early too and same thing happen like yesterday and we went for breakfast at MacDonalds and after that we proceed to the SnowWorld. It was a fun and cold place. Xinru was too small size and when she wore the big jacket over her, she looks like a penquin.. The way she walked around carefully and on the snow just make me laugh non-stop. A pity that we can't take pictures there.. Some pictures were taken by the people there and we purchased all the 3 pictures...



After the Snow World, we left and i brought Xinru to the arcade and played for 1hr and afterwhich i bring her to MacDonalds for some snacks. Hubby joined us shortly and we went back to the hotel to bath and pack our stuff. After everything was done, we went down again for lunch and return to take our stuff and went to take coach back to Singapore.



Once board the coach, Xinru fell asleep at 3pm and woke up at 545pm... It was raining when we were coming down.. We reached Yong Peng at 7+pm and had our dinner there and continued our journey. We finally reach the Malaysia Customs at 9pm and got cleared by 915pm. We reached Kovan at 10pm and went to MacDonalds to have some light snacks and proceed home....



Summary:


This trip is a great one, although it was not very cold there. The coldest temperature is about 15 degree celsius while the warmest is at 19 degree celsius. Xinru was well behaved and enjoyed the whole trip which is what i feel is the most important thing.
