Genting trip 4

Corridor leading to the room

Jacuzzi beyond the bedroom. Nice stained glass window

Genting again?? Heh. Hubby still has platinum card status and Genting keeps giving free rooms and whatnot (privileges steadily decreasing since he doesn't spend enough time at the casino for their liking). So we take advantage now, while we can! We had a suite at Highlands hotel this time. I still think Genting is a good place for a holiday with a baby - not too far, cool weather, and everything is walking distance once there.

We did something different this trip... went to the theme park! Gosh I haven't been inside in years. Verdict: it's pretty nice. There's lots of space to walk about, thrill/family/kiddie rides, performances to liven up the place and clowns giving out free balloon creations. This is the first time I am going to a theme park with my child and I just loved that thought. Next time we'll leave the stroller behind to make it easier going for rides. We only went on one carousel ride since it was nearing Jo Ern's nap time.

This is nice! Mummy carry me a lot

See my pretty balloon bracelet?

All zonked out after morning at theme park

The last time we came to Genting, Jo Ern couldn't crawl yet so I could just spread out a towel on the floor and plonk her there. This time she wanted to crawl and kept going to the edge of the bed to look down longingly at the floor. Poor kid, but the carpet didn't meet my standard of cleanliness. Poor mummy too, tired out from catching her before she attempted any headfirst dives! So what else did she do? Tasted everything she could lay hands on, watched cartoons , made a mess of the newspaper...

Spiderman rocks!

Must keep up with the news

There was a 'Mountain of Food' promo where it was only half price at most outlets if you pay via Genting points. Great!! Too bad we couldn't go for fine dining with lil Miss Short-on-Patience around. Went to Ming Ren, Pizza factory and Good Friends restaurant where the seating design failed to impress Jo Ern.

I may be a bit short, but surely this table is wayyy too high?

Overall this was a good trip. Jo Ern had fever starting the night before and we were wondering whether to go. Decided to lug along her medicines and chance it. We have fever syrup/ suppositories and could always drive down if necessary. She slept for ages under the duvet and after that was fine already. Dunno if that was the cure - in my time, the cure for fever was to wrap up warmly and sleep, when you break into a sweat you'll be fine.

  1. it is nice to have weekend breaks once in a while.
    I agree with u...the carpets is totally a no-no for me too. Totally gross and unhygienic. I never let Ryan walk bare foot on those hotel carpets.

  3. Leona and MC, Jo Ern would be flat on her tummy, worse than being barefoot... And she would probably LICK the carpet too haha. She was so puzzled why she couldn't get down onto the floor though!

  5. Yuen, not that she knows she's in a nice suite! By the time she is old enough to know we will have been downgraded by Genting so no more nice suites there...

    Papa is definitely more photogenic than Mummy. Heh.
