Part 2 - Family Trip

Our place to explore today is Genting Highland. After our breakfast we go to the taxi stand in front of our hotel to check on the fares to go to Genting. We were quoted RM80 which is RM10 cheaper than another taxi driver who offer us last night when he sent us to PetalinTg Street. He also offer us that he will drop us down in Mid-Hill of Genting where there is one temple for us to "see see look look". The agreed with his offer and hop on to his car. The estimate time from our hotel to Genting takes approximately 1.5hrs depending on the traffic.

At around 11am we reached the temple, it was so cold that when we talk there is like smoke comes out from our mouth.

Since its too cold we dint explore further we just took random pic and left the place... About 20mins later we arrived at First World Hotel. The taxi driver offer us again that he will wait for us to send us back so asked if 3hrs is sufficient for us since we cant go for the outdoor games too. We agreed and then exchanged telephone number so once we done we will give him a call.

The whole structure of Genting Highland that was on display at the main entrance of 1st World Hotel

We then start to explore the Indoor games that is at First World Hotel. There is shopping arcade so we did window shopping too... But this time, we got something... We got a jacket for Xuan and also for 1 for both me and mom (sharing), handbag (a little and cute one), ca yet tan for Xuan to eat just in case she is hungry...

Xuan wondering around outside Snow World. We wanted to go in but then we ended not dint coz they said no camera inside. Wat's the point if cant take pic?

Xuan was afraid to go on to the rides that is inside the indoor playground, so we ended up taking picture instead. We will come again to let Xuan play together with Jia

1230 - We separate ways with Hong since he wanna have a look at the Casino... He walk by himself while us went to KFC to have our lunch... After a while he came back, he told us that the guard dint allowed him to go in as he is not wearing shoes... haha... so till next time then... he said he managed to take a look when the door open... he told me next time we comes straight to Genting so he can have few days to be in the Casino haha... After eating we continue our Genting exploring.... and when we look at the clock it's almost 3hrs inside as per our agreement with the taxi driver... so we find our way out and while walking we took some pics again

Outside First World Hotel waiting for our taxi.

While waiting for the taxi driver to pick up we took some pics again.... The main entrance of First World Hotel, there is lots of travelling bus coming in bringing Taiwan tourist.

Our taxi driver drop us at Genting Hotel since the cable car station is there so we could get our ride down Genting using cable car. He will be waiting for us down hill.

Genting Hotel Lobby - heading to Cable Car Station

In Queue for going in the cable car... There is lots of ppl waiting for their turn

Inside the cable car

As we pass through certain stages there is landscaping for the hill, there is tiger, elephant, buddha statues and we just managed to get this, the Rafflesia

The cable car journey ends in this plaza, dont know the name, as we get down the escalator, there is this shop that sellings dried food can see that, hill of "sotong". Here we bought few things for our relative as buah tangan.

This ends our exploring of Genting Highland.... We headed back to our hotel for mom and the princess to rest... When we reached the hotel both of them are so hyper so instead of wasting time we decided to go to Sungai Wang again for dinner and to shop at Bukit Bintang Plaza. We then continue to shop for the things that we saw on our first day as we dint buy immediately when we saw it as we afraid tat we might see something nicer and cheaper... Since tat place offer the nicer and cheap one we went there to purchase, 2 bags and few souvenir t-shirt... We ended our night at about 11pm.. went back to hotel to settle down the princess and start to pack since we will be leaving tomorrow evening time.

1130pm - Our princess had fallen asleep so both me and Hong went down again to have our full body massage.... while massaging Hong's frend call him to go lim teh... after about 1.5hrs we are done and Hong called his frend... We went to a place that is famous for it's 'Ba Kut Teh'... We eat, chat for quiet sometime if not mistaken when we see the time is about 2am... Instead of driving us back to the hotel, he said we are still young should see the night life of KL... He bring us to the place where there is lots of "bakla" and "pros" hahaha.... then he brought us to the hilltop to see the night view of KL too bad tat time KL Tower and Petronas Tower light are off... Of coz lah it's 3am in the morning lah....

When we reached the hotel it's already 345m.... We just lay down our bed and fall asleep almost immediately haha.... That's the first time after married i slept so late... My kiasu frend will know wat time i normally sleep before i start dating with Hong haha... Those were the days

Jia slept immediately she done with her milk while Xuan keeps on telling us that she wants supper. So both me and Hong brought her down for supper while Mom and Jia stay behind to sleep. So we walk down our hotel

Night time - Right and Left View from our Hotel

Saw the lively surrounding of Bukit Bintang even at this wee hour.... While walking down the street we saw 24hrs Mc Donald's, KFC & some sundries shop and even restaurant. Since it's late we hesitate to walk further down we just choose the 24hrs restaurant & it seems so like Hong Kong Style. We sat down & there comes the waitress with the menu. Hong look into the menu & talk to me softly, "Lao Po, a plate of fried noodles cost RM15, they trying to rob us kah?" Haha... i answered him back you liar coz i still hv not see the menu... I took the menu from him and yes the cheapest food i can find is RM12 and tat's chicken porridge... Since we already sat down we just continue with ordering... Then comes the bill, a supper that cost tat cost us almost RM50 haha... Then we go back to hotel after a short walk at those convenient shop opposite to our hotel... As soon as we reached our room after laying down for less than 5mins i believe we 3 already start snoring haha....

Oct 23 - Woke up at 7am, clean myself & went to the window to get some shots...

The view from our room at 6th Floor from left, right then bottom haha

930am - Went down to our hotel coffeehouse for breakfast. Our room comes with 3 free breakfast coupon so it's just enuf for the 3 of us. After breakfast we left the hotel for our start of shopping. Since the clock reads 10am we start to work down the street of our hotel to Lot 10 & Sungai Wang Plaza. Once we reached there to our surprise all the shops are not open yet so we left the plaza without wasting our time to our next location. There i saw the tourist information counter & went there to get the map of KL. Hong saw the big road sign that Petronas Tower & KL Tower is just 1km away so we agreed to walk there. We saw lots of nice building & saw a little area where they have the 4 face buddha... We pay respect and then took some picture before continuing our journey haha

After paying respect to took some pic for rememberance. You dont see Jia coz she is sleeping on my chest carrying her using the carrying bag.

After that we continue to walk & we saw a monk, he approaches us for donation for temple building & expenses. After writing down our names and the amount we donated, he presented us bracelets and a card. As we continue to walk we took some pic

Above pic taken from about another 5mins away from the building....

We reached our destination, this is the little walkway from the tower, can you see the underground behind us, it's to the LRT

The ceiling of the mall of petronas (forgotten the name of the mall)

As the items sold in the mall are all branded we just window shopping for a while then headed back to Bukit Bintang. This time we dont walk back we used LRT & Monorail that reached till Sungai Wang Plaza.

1230pm - Had our lunch at Sungai Wang Plaza... Forgotten to take picture of the food court... All their economy set meal is like buffet style and there is about 30 different dishes for you to choose from. After lunch we continue to shop, we did more window shopping then actually buying haha coz there is nothing that fit us except for shoes.... The shoes there are so nice and the price is reasonable too... Mom bought herself 2pairs while myself 1pair.

430pm - Headed back to hotel for a little rest for the kids and my mom. My feet is hurting due to my sandal. Settle down the kids and let them hv their nap both me and hong went down to the massage center for foot reflexology. There is about 10 of those massage center at our hotel area. After an hr we done wif our massage, we continue to shop around the shop there, the pharmacy, the 24hr convenient shop before heading back to the hotel.

630pm - Wake up the princess to continue our shopping spree.... This time we go to Petailing Street. The night market there is completely the same as that of Bangkok. Mom said better we shop in Bangkok. So now you can guess where will be our next family trip haha. We stay at that area till about 1030pm before heading back to the hotel again.

This time the same as last night, Xuan doesnt wanna sleep and requested us to bring her down for supper again. This time since it's early we walk further down the street for our supper.... We end our night at about 1230am....
