Spent this year's Christmas in Genting again. This year, Genting is extremely cold. Maybe because it's year-end and monsoon season. We woke up at 5.30am to get ready and left the house at 6.15am. It was raining that morning but when I called the cab and went downstairs to wait for it's arrival, rained stopped! ;) The coach left golden Mile Complex at 7am sharp. Journey was ok, maybe we have got used to it after travelling to Genting so many times.
We arrived Genting at around 2.30pm. Supposed to deposit our luggages at Genting Highland Hotel and wait for my cousin Raymond, his baby Hazel (5 months old) and my aunt, Priscilla to arrive at 4pm. The 3 of them travelled via SQ to KL airport and limousine to Genting. We created a boo-boo cos we deposited our luggages at Genting Hotel instead. :P
There were 8 adults and 3 children, all squeezed into 2 hotel rooms.. 3 to a bed, 2 slept on the floor. First night there, my mum, cousin and my aunt went to gamble first cos I need to look after Rachel. I went down to gamble at around 12-ish am till ard 4-ish am. Took only RM $150 to gamble.. Limited funds, sigh.. Luckily won RM$600 but in the end lose another RM$300. Decided to call off for the day when there was still some winnings. My mum better still, went to Genting without changing any RM. Gave her RM$300 to spent there and she went to gamble, first night lost. Second night, she won RM$700+. Told her to pay for the X'mas Dinner which cost RM$250 per pax!
On the third day, my mum went to gamble again.. in form.. won another few hundreds.. She was so happy. Bought a pair of Seed jeans (RM$109), 1 Soda top (RM$39), 1 gold ring (RM$136)! Happily spending money there! As for me, I only gamble on first night and for another 1 hr or so on the second night. Too tired to gamble. In fact, spent of my time there sleeping and bringing Rachel for her rides and games.
Rachel enjoyed herself during the day except that night time she will miss home and Jonathan. On our first night there, she told me before she slept that she wanted to go home now and sleep! Told her, too late liao. No more buses to send us back home. Finally she was too tired and went to sleep.
On our second day there, I brought her to First World for her games, rides and went to the Child Care Centre that she likes. Of cos, when she was at the Child Care, I have to stay with her becos she's too young and small size. We stayed there for 1 hr. Initially she was a bit scared of the height of the playground. After 5 mins or so, she was ok cos I climbed up with her.
We had our Christmas Dinner at The Olive on our third day, 24 Dec '06. Small portion of food on big plate! First time eating Fresh Oysters. Tasted not bad. Ha..Ha.. Me and Rachel likes the desert most! Nice decorations and there's a scope of ice cream, with Christmas Minced Pie and Pudding. Rachel cant wait for the Dinner to be over. Well, kids cant sit down or stay still for too long! After Dinner, Rachel and me went back to hotel for our beauty sleep while the rest headed for Casino. Initially I wanted to go down after my mum went back to the room but was too tired to get up. :P
On our last day at Genting, not much time to do anything cos we have to catch the coach at 2.30pm. Luckily there was no jam at both causeways. Arrived in Singapore around 9.30pm. So far, the trip is nice and relaxing for me. :)
