We set up at about 5am sharp from our home in SK to Tuas Checkpoint as we worried that there might be a jam if too late as last sat was Hari Raya! Surprisingly, there was no jam at the checkpoints. Reached NS Highway at about 6am, driving at an average speed of 140km/h. Playing w the GPS on my HTC TyTN II, trying to locate our position on highway (more on the GPS in my next post on the new device!).
Reached KL at about 9+ & proceed to Genting directly. As this was the 1st time that we drove up to genting (had drove to KL few times already!), we were quite blur on the route. Went the wrong way & went into Cheras town (instead of following the Kuantan sign into the highway) so we decided to have our breakfast there b4 continuing to Genting. Had a tim sum breakie at the entrance of the town, din looked out for the shop name as everyone was hungry, only noticed that the shop was packed w ppl.
After the breakfast, we turned back to the Kuantan highway & all the way up to Genting. As it was festive season, there were many cars going up too. Our cars got separated when reaching the First World Hotel & coz we were not sure of the route, dh made several turns to get to where sil's car was waiting for us. Hiazzz... finally made it at 11+, wasted so much time on the driving!
Sil got a parking lot for us when we found them. So we proceed to the lobby of the hotel! We proceed directly to the Casino. Walked passed the theme park area, the place is so beautiful, full of animal monorails, ferris wheels etc. My girl was fascinated by the surroundings & keeps pointing to them excitedly! As she only wanted me to carry her all the way, so I did not get to take the photos in Genting totally!
A sil helped us to take care of the kids while dh & I went into the casino! Woah, the casino is so different from the last time that we came in Yr2001! Sil "showed" us around as they frequent Genting with her in laws! They can spent their whole day sitting at the jackpot! But vv true that the jackpots are vv addictive! I juz played a few RM 2 cents or RM 5 cents games & got hooked! As dh & I were not casino-lovers and oso worried about our kids so we left about an hr time! Anyway I managed to win about RM$50+ from the jackpot!
We walked & shopped around the area for another hour & left for KL! Realised the beautiful sceneries along the way (when dh was busy making turns to find sil's car earlier on), I took some photos this time when we going downhill! Below are few photos of the sceneries when leaving the highland.
Hmm... a place where the saints stayed? Haahaa... Saw many saint statues & ppl praying there!
To be continued....
