Exhilarating Genting

The bunch had a great time last weekend. Even though I was working on my proposal on Saturday, the three of them managed to entertain themselves by dipping in the instant-pool at the back of the house. Saturday was tremendously hot, so being in the pool was a splendid endeavor. Plus, with Papa being away in Melaka, the pool was a great distraction as they don’t even have to bug me at my notebook.



Having them spent the entire afternoon soaking in the pool, it was easy to let them retire early that night. With that, we have more reasons to plan taking them to the much awaited Genting trip, plus if the weather condition permits.

Despite me sleeping at 2:30 am in the morning finishing my work, I managed to wake up early to find that it was raining quite heavily. When Aina woke up, she was a little but frustrated because I already told the kids that the trip would be cancelled if it rained. So, when the three of them were all awake, they didn’t make much noise as they already knew my pre-requisite for the trip.

Nevertheless, the sun starts to appear slowly in the morning drizzle after 9am. So we quickly decided to make the trip instead. By 11am, we were on the road already. True enough, by the time we got to the cable car station in Gohtong Jaya just about noon, the weather was excellent!

Boy oh boy, the cable car ride up to the peak was an awesome 3.4km ride, with deep jungle beneath us. Both Papa and Aina are already pale. I didn’t know my girl is just like his dad. But the boys were behaving themselves too; I guess the unfathomable green abyss beneath us somehow made them nervous.

Nevertheless, when we got to the peak, the kids were kids again, especially when they saw all the indoor games. When we were out at the outdoor theme park, they became even more excited. However, when we counted the number of rides they could get on to against the entrance fee, we decided to opt for the indoor park instead.

So off we went to the indoor park and rode all the family rides. By 6pm, they were all tired, and we decide to call the day off. Both Papa & I agreed that we have to wait till they are teenagers if we were to go to Disneyland or the Australian Gold Coast. :-)
