Genting Trip

We embarked on our first overseas trip with our 2 little boys on Thurs. The prep work was minimal as we rode on PaPa's friend's lobang as Uncle Brian had planned to bring his family along too with his 2 other gambling frens.

We had to reach the tour agency at 7am in the morning and we got the kids up as early as 540am to prep them and catch a cab to beach road. We didn't have to wait for long as the bus left on time out to Genting at 730am. The kids were obviously very curious as there are TV terminals attached at each seat.

Ethan and Caden started the long 6 hours coach ride with the buns we brought along. Thereafter they started watching some cartoons available and Ethan got very restless. And we survived through the long bus ride with naps taken by them at some intervals. At one point, Mummy and Ethan almost got stranded somewhere middle of the highway as the coach left without us while PaPa was busy sleeping in his own seat. Luckily Uncle Brian was alert enough to notice and asked the bus driver to stop while Mummy and Ethan quickly boarded back the bus.

The first afternoon and evening was R&R with the kids exploring the place, resting in the hotel room and then ended with a 3hr session at the Arcade. Caden had a good time competing with Aidan on the shooting games and we only retired at 11pm. The nights were a torture for Mummy especially, as Ethan tossed and turned around in the bed often and she had to constantly feel for his head in complete darkness to ensure that Ethan didn't fall out from the end of the bed. Putting the 2 little rascals to bed at the same time was also a big challenge for PaPa and Mummy..

On the 2nd day, we bought a full day outdoor and indoor theme park access passes for all of us to ride through the stations. The weather was good but got erratic towards early afternoon with passing showers. The kids were tired again after going through most of the outdoor kiddy rides and rested in the hotel room at 330pm. The night then started with more rounds of rides at the indoor park and Caden had proven his courage with experiencing on all the car rides and even going through a few rounds of bumper car rides on his own. The first attempt of bumper car ride with Aidan was hilarous as Aidan was too afraid to step onto the peddle and Caden kept tapping on his partner's lap to get the car moving. As Caden was in charge of the steering wheel, the car got spinning in circles becos Aidan was only stepping the peddle at intervals. As Caden got so deprived from the first bumper car ride, subsequently, PaPa let him played in total another 5 more rounds before we retired for the night at 1130pm.

Last day was R&R since we need to check out at 12pm. We walked round the mall (nothing to shop actually) and bought some toys for them to bring back. And off we left Genting and return back to SG. The ride back home was easier as the kids slept 3 hours on the coach as we left town in the afternoon. The fortunate thing was that all of us did not get bus sick while some others of our group were vomiting badly at each stop.

Leaving Genting

I think it will be quite some time again before we pack our bags to visit another travel destination. These 3 days alone had both PaPa and Mummy's bones breaking for the next 2 days.
