Genting 7 - 9 Nov 08 (Day 1)

I woke up as early as 4.45am and then prepared myself and some last minute packing. Sam woke up not long after and he woke the kids up to change.
Adel and Kennzo were wide awake then and we headed out once we are all done.

We reached Ang Mo Kio Jubilee's S-11 to meet up with Catherine and family. They had already finished their breakfast and seated down to wait for the transport. The bus was nowhere to be sighted. WY called them and double confirmed the meet up point just in case we had waited at the wrong point. We were early in fact; coach was coming down from Toa Payoh.

The coach finally arrived at about 6.15am. It was pretty luxurious but they had got the seating arrangement screwed up. We were supposed to have 10 seats but we had 9 and one of them was a tour guide seat. Obviously we are not satisfied as this was not we were supposed to get for the money we paid for.
After some talking on the phone, they arranged for another coach to transfer some people over the next coach at Malaysia checkpoint.

Along the way the kids were still very much wide awake. Adel only a short nap and then she was busy chatting with Janine in their own language.

We finally reached Genting at about 1.30pm.
We were early and could not collect our keys till 2pm. Finally we gotten our keys and proceeded to our room to settle down before we start our programme.

It was basically shopping and exploring around First World Plaza and then we stopped by Baskin Robbins for ice cream as Janine has earlier fell and hurt herself on the lips. Dinner was at Causeway Bay and the food is horrible!

The kids were finally tired out after a long day. We went back to the room and let the kids rest. They had to put on the sweater on top of their pyajamas even though the windows were closed and fan switched off. It was freezing cold inside the hotel room.

Catherine, WY and myself went on for fish foot spa followed by the Casino. It was ticklish with the fishes nibbling on our dead skins but we soon got used to it. We went on to explore the Casino and I spent RM$10 on the jackpot. Nothing was won but it was more for the experience - my first gamble at a casino (I am not into gambling anyway).

I was completed exhausted at the end of the day.
