Cieran's first stamp on his passport - To Genting!
This is our first family self-drive trip. It has been a surprise that the self-drive was i
nitiated by Jeremy. He has never been so adventureous... especially to a place he has never been before. I have been suggesting self-drive trip in Australia where finding whereabouts is easy, but he has never been keen. This time, he inisisted on self-drive despite my several attempts of suggesting to take coach up (just to disturb him and fitering if he is firm). Anyway, I support
ed the idea as it 
will be easier since Cieran will be seated nicely on his own car seat du
ring the journey. If we take coach, I believed it will be a torture for us, having to 'control' this rascel during the journey. He can never sit down properly if he is not belt up! Our plan is 
to travel on 21-23Dec, and back just in time to celebrate Christmas. But in the end, my sisters' joined
in the trip and we made changes on the travel dates to suit all... After much hassle in getting the room reservations (full booked due to peak periods), we ended up travelling on 8-10Dec, under promotional rates of RM138.80 including entry (2 tickets each room) to Dreamz show. We started our journey early on 8Dec, meeting place my house at 5.30am in fear that there will be jam at the custom (due to PH-Hari Raya). We have been disturbing that Grace family will be the last to arraive and late due to past experiences, but suprisingly they arrived before Joanne & Marcus! The overn
ight heavy rain didn't spoil our plans much, the kids are excited over the trip... They are the most 'HAPPY' kids stuff
ed with snacks & drinks, seated in the back roll, watching their children's programmes! We may be a little time delayed as planned, but the custom was clear and we arrived JB-Kulai for breakfast stop around 7.30am. Marcus, being at his hometown recommend us the coffeeshop that sells nice big pork buns. Indeed, the buns are huge.. which I have not seen them in Singapore before! After breakfast, we made a stop at the 'da bo gong' t
emple, one that Jeremy wished to visit. Not many of us are keen, but since we are at Kulai and we are early, so we make an extra stop. Jeremy is really serious in 
his praying...haha... while the rest of us busy taking some photos. We took about 3 hours to reach KL, stopping over for lunch at long-lost restaurant, A&W! Missed the root beer i
n mug... thus we all agreed to have A&W. But disappointment that this small outlet doesnt served in mug... chey! After lunch, we took on the journey, but was lost..haha! Somehow we exit the wrongly in the highway, and was in KL somewhere.... we stopped by a small hotel to a
sk for direction... and back on the roads. Malaysia road signs can't compare to Singapore... they are not easy to read, the signs go missing halfway in the highway...leaving you no clue where you are and heading to. Nonetheless, we man
aged to locate the way with our map (that doesnt state in details which road to proceed). Thru guess
and instinct, very fortunately, we found our way. In total, it took us 9 hours (from start with stopovers) to arrive in Genting! Eventually it's the North-South Ipoh Highway that brings us to Genting, though we started from South in KL. It was a tremendous crowd when we arrived at the hotel lobby! I pressume it is due to the rain that has drawn all the crowds indoor. It's a long queue waitng for our rooms, we wia
ted 4 hours! By the time we settled the bags, it's almost 7.30pm. We decide to go for a hearty meal at Ah Yat Abalone Restauarnt before the show-Dreamz. Yip
pee! Enjoyed abalone meal with price so much cheaper t
han dining in Singapore. Jeremy feels the ache being a practical man...haha! I keep reminding him that the cost is in ringgit. :-p After dinner, we went for the Dreamz show which turns out to be a real good one. It's like a circles with a theme/story. It's our first time to see live performance by white tigers/lions. A pity that towards the end of the show, the kids are tired and Jeremy & I have to sneak out without completing the whole performance. Heard from my sisters, it was really good. But looking at the soundly asleep children, we have to mak
e this a miss in exchange of a good ni
ght sleep for them. Next day was equip with outdoor fun at the themepark. It has been years since I last play on the rides (since 1999! wow!). The childern was defintely in
excitement. The first ride they have is Merry-Go-Round... wow.. that's one of my favourite when I am a kid... the memory flashes upon me which I wished I am young again to ride on on eof the horses. If only time can travel back .... haha! The weather is great! Sunny that makes the temperature just nice for outdoor fun. Imagine, I dont have to put on a jacket.. and the wind is cooling like an aircon! We tried on tea-cups, puddle boats, flying socer...etc. The childern enjoys themselves
very much! After lunch, we attack the indoor rides. With a 'All Park' entry ticket, we go for as much rides as possible... Cieran went for several too! On our last day in Genting, we have a hearty breakfast and did some last minute shopping before starting our journey home at 11.45am. The mist is strong where we have to drive carefully. We will missed such cooling weather! The way back to Singapore was much easier now. We spent about 5hrs plus to arrive in Singapore. Once again, the custom was clear. We had a fun time during this short holiday, bringing back wonderful photos & memory.
