Vacation at Genting 2008
Packed up and left home around the afternoon. Met relatives at the petrol station near Tuas area.
The 11 of us travelled to Malaysia in 2 cars. Since it was a Tuesday, there was not many cars at Tuas. It was a smooth journey. We would be staying at Genting View Resort which is located at the bottom of Genting. It was nearly 3 hours before reaching there. On the way, we had a late lunch at KFC at a R&R.
When we 1st saw the place, I was thinking "Oh my God..." My cousins were all having the same thought. The apartment block we saw was liked a set from a horror movie. It was so run-down that it gave us the creeps.
But, luckily, we were not staying there. We stayed at RiverView Apartment which was a series of terrace houses or bungalows, whichever you want to call it. It was big, well, too big for our taste.
My family of 5 and my auntie stayed in one, while the rest of them stayed in another. There were 3 bedrooms in each bungalow. But, my brothers squeezed into the massive master-bedroom with my parents and I shared a room with my auntie.
Next door, only the master bedroom was occupied. After we put our luggage down, we left for the mountain top. We missed the cable car station so we drove all the way up. We had noodles for dinner and walked around a bit. It got me thinking, I don't want Singapore IR at Sentosa to become like this.
Funny enough, not many Singaporeans can be seen. Maybe it's near the end of holiday. The adults went for some Chinese herbal jelly while the young ones went for ice-cream at Baskin Robbins. I had a green apple sorbet with mint ice-cream. Quite nice, minty and sourly.
The next day, we left in the morning for Genting. We ate roti prata for breakfast. As we thought that the prata will be small in size, we ordered more than 10 pieces. But the prata was huge, at least twice the size like that in Singapore's. Hence, we did not finished all. After that, the "children" went to the outdoor amusement park while the adults and I went shopping. I bought 2 tops from Padini Concept Store. After a while, the "children" returned due to the rain. When the rain stopped, they went out again. We then went for a 1 hour foot massage. Before long, they returned once more. We had afternoon tea at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves. I had a Swedish Berries ice tea and a slice of chocolate fudge cake. We walked around and had clay pot rice for dinner.
We bought cup noodles back to the resort to settle our breakfast the next day.
After breakfast, we packed up and left. We stopped by the cable car station and bought many tidbits home. We dined at KFC at the same R&R again.
