Over the long weekend we went to Genting Highlands with my extended family. 14 of us took up 6 rooms (compliments from my sister’s company) in the Theme Park Hotel. We were all put on the same floor, next to or across each other, making the small room less crowded since the girls could run across to their cousin’s room etc.

The main reason we were in Genting was really for the theme park, it’s more of a trip for the 7 children in the family (although 2 of them already needed Adult passes to get into the park, they are still ‘children’ in the family).

We spent the day time at the Outdoor Park and the night time at the Indoor Park on the first day. The place was pretty crowded, so it was a 10 to 30 mins wait time for each ride. While the older children went on the thrill rides with Daddy joining them on a few, I was with the girls, Tasha and my sister going for the kiddy rides. Let the photos show you the fun the girls and their cousins had.

Of course for Zara, Zaria and Tasha, a lot of time was spent on the Merry-Go-Rounds.

And Ferris Wheel.

Zara loved this Rodeo Rider so much, I think she’s going to grow up to be able to take thrill rides, unlike her mummy who used to vomit even after a ride on the Merry-Go-Round.

Girls loved the Children Play Ground, especially the monkey bar.

There were some street performances which we caught. Girls were facinated but at the same time afraid of the Fire Eater.

Zaria kept asking me, “Why the uncle eat fire?”
I took the opportunity to educate tell her, “Uncle didn’t want to ear dinner, that’s why eat fire. You? You want to eat fire or you want to eat dinner?”
Of course she said, “I want to eat dinner only.”

Zaria had to be proped up on my shoulder to reach for the clown on stlit. She wasn’t scared of him nor liked him.

A female clown playing ‘yo-yo’ (definitely didn’t look as scarry as the male clowns).

After all the excitement, Zaria had some stories to tell.

And the girls have jokes to share.

On outings like these, we can’t do without cotton candy, and my sis got herself Tasha 3 of these in the 2 days we were there.

Thank God for family and the maid.. When the girls are tired, we took turns to carry them.

And what did my dad do when we were at the theme park? He Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-ed on the bench waiting for us.
