Our Genting Highlands Trip

27.01.08 Sunday

We woke up at 5.10am this morning. I was a bit worried as this was the first time we travelled with Little Darling by coach. Little one still slept soundly when we were busy changing and preparing to set off. I woke him up at 5.40am to change. He turned alert immediately when we told him we were going ‘gai gai’! :-)

There were already many people waiting at the desinated waiting point! We were heading to secondlink at 6.20am after all passengers were on board.

I was glad that Little Darling fell asleep after we cleared Malaysia immigration check point. He was woken up after only a 45minutes nap by the tour guide’s speaker! Headache! He started to ‘find fault’ with mummy. He twisted and turned shouting and screaming. We tried to distract him with toys, songs, nursery rhymes, games and scenery on our journey. No effect with all these soft approaches! We used threats instead! Despite numerous warning from daddy and mummy, he simply couldn’t sit tight! I gave up and started to feed him with all kinds of junk food and titbits to calm him down. We were exhausted and half dead, began to wonder why the journey was so far and it had taken so long!

Phew! Finally, we were at the First World Hotel bus terminal at 1.30pm. Little Darling enjoyed himself very much in the cool climate! He smiled and sucked in cool air hard! He was so adorable when he touched our faces with his little palms showing that he felt cold! That was totally two different characters comparing him now with the little devil on the coach!

We went for a quick bite after checking in hotel. I would like to let him catch some nap and let daddy and mummy rest before bringing him to the theme park! He had taken a four hours’ nap when we woke him up!

It was a long walk through the corridor from our hotel to the Theme Park. The surrounding was misty and it was very cold and windy. Little Darling was very excited with all the cool air around! He was quite bold and mischievous! He kept asking daddy to carry him and refused to walk or he would just stay put or keeping a far distance (5-6 meters) from us when we insisted he had to walk by himself. There were so many tourists looking and laughing at him yet he totally ignored them and took his own sweet time trailing behind us. I had to take my hat off to him!

After dinner, daddy and Little Darling enjoying all the indoor activities very much while I became their photographer! Again and again he asked to ride on carousel, Marry-go-a-round etc and refused to stop. We had to pull him back to room when it was almost 12 midnight.

We had late breakfast. Daddy and Little Darling went for their outdoor rides this morning while I was sitting indoor to wait for them back. I am a timid ‘old woman’! I have no courage to take all the excitement from the rides! Again he was very relunctant to stop though was suckling and napping time. But he fell asleep when I was feeding him. So daddy had some time to enjoy himself with all those rides! :-)

After dinner, we started our indoor games since I had not joined them before. But we put out of The Snow World owing to the admission rule that kids below 3 years old are prohibited from entering! What a shame! Again we missed the 4D Movies as the minimum height for kids to enter the theatrette was 107cm! Sigh! Ended-up daddy went in by himself and mummy accompanied Little Darling sleeping in the room!

We spent the whole morning walking around the themepark and the shopping mall. Little Darling was frightened by those horror masks displayed in a souvenier shop! We checked out from hotel after lunch. There was some time before our departure time from Genting Highlands at 1.30pm, so we rested at the resting area by the side of First World hotel lobby. There were tourists from Middle East countires and North India were asking to take photos with our Little Darling! It seemed incredible that he has got fans at this tender age! Hehe…… Little Darling has superstar charm, he is sociable and enjoys shooting with them as long as they do not touch or ask to carry him.

Little Darling fall asleep after his afternoon milk on the bus but woke up when we stopped at a souvenier shop! Luckily he fell asleep again when we boarded the bus heading south back to Singapore. Thank goodness! He slept all the way till we reached Secondlink checkpoint! Though my hands and legs were numb from carrying him, it was so much better than having to cope with his twist and turn! We reached our home sweet home at 8.40pm! :P
