The weather up in Awana was great, it was just nice. Of course it was slightly colder up in Genting. The journey up and down was pretty easy. We strapped Hayley into the car seat and she was extremely obedient for the 1.5 hour journey both ways. As this was considered her first long trip away being strapped in a car seat, we were concerned at first. But she made us proud. She either napped or stared at the sceneries outside the window. No fuss, nothing. After witnessing this, the papa even suggested going to Penang (4 hours drive) next :-)
While in Genting, we took Hayley on the carousel ride in the indoor theme park at the First World Hotel. We paid RM8 for the ride. She was scared at first but warmed up pretty quickly. We wanted to take her on other rides but we think she is a little too young for the rest of it. Nevertheless, she enjoyed looking at the trains, the gondolas and all the blinking lights surrounding her. We've never seen her this excited and happy. We even let her roam free and walkabout with us trailing behind. For some weird reasons, she likes to pick up weird objects (aka rubbish) from the floor and like to head towards escalators. She also likes to befriends other babies or kids which is great. Then, we had lunch at Burger Kings and as expected the meal set cost twice as much up in Genting. We paid RM19.73 for a mushroom swiss single set that comes with a drink and an upgrade to onion rings! After lunch I relaxed with Hayley at Starbucks while the papa made a quick visit to Uncle Lim :-). He won a few hundred bucks so this was considered a sponsored trip. Thanks Uncle Lim!

In the afternoon we brought Hayley back to the hotel for a nap and a dip in the pool. The water was heated so it was nice and warm. We stayed in the jacuzzi for about 10 mins as we do not want her to catch a cold for playing too long.
At night we went for Bak Kut Teh at Gohtong Jaya. Don't remember the name of the restaurant, it was a big one right in the middle. It wasn't good. Not recommended. It cost RM27 for 2 pax and the total came up to about RM34 plus drinks etc.
With papa in matching colours :-)

The next morning we had breakfast at the Rajawali Restaurant. The scenery was breathtaking, overseeing the entire golf course. It was nice and fresh to see plenty of greens for a change :-). After breakfast we took Hayley again to the pool for another quick dip. She enjoyed playing 'catch the bubbles' in the warm jacuzzi :-). She took a nap after the work out until it was time to check out.
When we checked out later in the day I suddenly came down with a fever. I must have caught a cold myself when I brought Hayley to the pool (twice). I was trying to wrap and dry her up quickly that I must have neglected myself. I was down with fever for 3 days and was on sick leave up till Tuesday :-(. I have been sick a lot since having Hayley. I used to fall sick once or twice a year but now it was happening almost every 2 months. I am so sick of being sick.. sigh...But overall we enjoyed the trip very much and looking forward to planning the next one. The hardest part for me was leaving the cool weather behind and came home to the extremely hot KL. It felt like an oven on Saturday the moment we opened the car door when we reached home :-(

Hi Amy,
Am so glad that my blog on Genting was useful. Good to hear that you and your family enjoyed the holiday. My friend recently dined at the Bak Kut Teh place and she also does not recommend the food there, though this shop is a branch of the famous Bak Kut Teh shop from Klang.
Hey,
Yes your blog helped :-). I think all the restaurants up there are the same. Just trying to make a few quick bucks from tourists.
