Genting Day-Trip During School Holidays 2010

OK.....Genting was damn crowded yesterday. We (both sis-in-law and us) thought that it would be nice to take the kids for some rides and fun during the school holidays. Yesterday was not a public holiday but it was packed with crowds in every corner. We missed out the point that today is a public holiday, hence many have taken leave yesterday. We picked a wrong day for the trip. Anyway, we saw that the queues for the rides at the outdoor theme park were crazy long. So, we dismissed the idea of going to outdoor theme park because we wouldn't get to enjoy the rides much. Most of the time will be taken up to queue for it anyway. And the price of the tickets are much more expensive than the indoors.

So, we bought only indoor theme park tickets instead. As we had sat on the rides many times before, only the mummies accompanied the kids this time. The daddies took photos and lingered around. Then, only both sis-in-law and I realized we made a mistake. Should have let the daddies accompanied the kids while mummies shopped!! Because daddies don't shopped, and they looked bored hanging around not joining in the rides. Hahaha...

Waiting for the gondola ride.

My darling baby, all soaked up!

Flying reindeer ride.

Train ride. The bugger purposely sat in front so that he can pulled the bell. Ting! Ting!

Junior bumper car ride. We expected them to sit separately because the car was so small but both of them cramped into one car. Lunz stepped on the pedal while Dom was in-charged of the steering wheel.




Both silly boys turned their car round and round. We had a good time eyeing them behind the bar.

The queue for every rides were crazy long. We had to wait at least 1/2 hour for each ride. Even worst were the caterpillar monorail and motion master. Heard the queues were not moving at all. In the end, we did not enjoyed many of the rides because it was too crowded.

But one major achievement that I must highlight here is.....my boy took his first roller coaster ride! Daddy did not managed to take photos because the roller coaster was too fast. At first I thought that he was not allowed for the ride because the minimum height required for the ride was 122 cm. We measured him based on a nearby measuring chart and found out that he qualified. So, we asked him to queue along. Dom was not tall enough, so he can't joined in. At the end of the queue, there was another measuring chart, just to check on each children's height before letting them passed. I found out that that particular chart seems to be higher for 122cm than the one that we measured earlier. But, anyway, since we were already in the queue, I decided to take a chance. If Lunz can't join, I'll bring him out then.

Haha....luckily he made it! Just on the border. But the train was almost full with passengers, the staff in-charge told us that he needed two more persons to join this ride. At first, we decided to let the people behind us to go ahead first because the four of us wanted to sit together but changed our mind quickly because we didn't know who to ask. Sis-in-law asked me to proceed first with Lunz while she took the next ride. Thank God I did because the train was stopped for 20 minutes for safety check-up after my ride. Sis-in-law gave up from the queue because she doesn't want to wait for 20 minutes just for the check-up.

I told Lunz earlier that this train will go fast fast. He said ok. At first I'm quite worried that he will be scared and maybe worst scenario, will cried after the ride or during the ride. But, to my surprise, when the train started moving, he was laughing badly. And when the train turned corners at its fastest, he laughed out loud. He enjoyed the ride very much. My boy really has grown up. By the way, my right arm was fastened tightly around his shoulders because I was scared that he will be thrown out from the train when the train speed at corners.

Later, daddy told me, he saw and heard Lunz laughing so happily during the ride from the platform. Yeah, I said, he sure did enjoyed the ride!
