Genting Highland


Hola....
I've spent 8days away from office (best nyerr...) and which I need to back into office on the Thursday.

And kids has start schooling on the Wednesday itself-where they'd missed Monday & Tuesday.
Come to that weekend, decided to treat the kids as we left them during the whole week of school holiday.

So..we're off to Genting-just 45 mins drive from home.

Arrived there 'bout 1pm. We'd booked the hotel but mak aiiiih..it took us more than 1 hour just to que for the check-in counter. Aik..tak school hols pun ramai ka? heran gue.

Manage to check-in almost 3pm.


Point of going there? coz the kids are begging for the snowhouse since last month.
It cost us for about RM18 (think so, for adult- cant recall how much it is for kids)
We got to rent the jacket, snowshoes & glove-of coz come with the ticket price la kan...sungguh la tak menyenangkan the jacket.
Shoes pun dah basah2...bedal je lah...
So, we're allowed to 'enjoy' the snow for 1/2hour. And testing the kids if they're ok for our korea's project.
While we're in there, they offered free ice-cream, what da....dah la sojuk, makan eskrem lak, if coffee ke, ok la jugak.
Then we took few photos, note: own camera is totally no-no, ok? must use their service. we end-up wif 'bout 5photos for RM60 (phew...) - but am damn lazy to post the pic here.
****
We went out earlier-tak tahan sojuk-probably coz the jacket free gak kut....tara tahan lah.

The girls- pipi sampai merah2, coz sojuk.

Then asked them:

Korea project is on? their answer: no..dont want lah, too cold, cant enjoy much.

hmmm...tau pun..(selamat mummy & daddy, ..hehe)

********

views of the snowhouse from outside
In short: takde la syok apa pun...theres a slide in there..tapi, tak kosa la haku nak layan..

*********

Terus heading for the theme park- indoor & outdoor, hmm dah almost 5pm++ masa nih, such a waste.. its quite late, but still purchase both indoor & outdoor park.

Coz some of outdoor park's rides are till around 8pm.

********

Kids enjoying their rides Mak/pak pun nyibuk gak...

Looking at belows pic-now only i'd realize: why the h#@* i must take on this ride?Actually nak temankan si kenit, but cant i just let her go with her sis? she's quite big now; dedulu masa baby ok la temankan dia, but now? hmm...

********** The pirate ship

Took this ride with F. We sat on the 2nd row from the edge. (actually i wanted the 3rd row-less scary, but seat was taken).

So, nak test my ability to handle the 'scare' la ni kan? Result is..haiyoo....memang gayat giloss....rasa macam nak jerit - hoi..stop this!!!

haha..for few first 6 swings, we enjoyed it, jerit2 up to max.

Sampai the max swings, gayat pun ada, takut pun ada..tapi memang gayat gak la...

my F keep on screaming " i'm shaking..i'm shaking!!"

Gabra gak gue, takut demam lak budak ni kang. So, me end up, malas nak jerit2 dah. Buhsan,,,coz swing lama, plus risau with F lagik. Actually, tak la gayat mana, solero shot lagi gayat kut...

kenit nye budak ni...
Ferris wheel is a must (tahap buhsan dah naik ni)
Antique car

(another buhsan rides-ni la dia, if pegi ngan kanak2 ribena...just accept the fact, ye)

***********

Fogs - at nite Dah puas outdoor, indoor lak.
Rasanya mau berpuluh round si kenit ni main bumper car.

Not many kids, so, after kuar je from the car, queue again for the next ride, again & again...macam tu la bebudak...ramai giler yg kegirangan.. And, for mak/pak, ada bumper car for adults.

Naik gak, but i just dont fancy it much. Buhsan je, bawak keta betul lagi best rasanya...tapi bab 'gedegang-gedegang' tu best gak ah..hehe...coz normally- if bawak keta, mana leh sesuka ati langgar worang?

Another indoor ride And, indoor coaster
Finally..this is quite fun, wheeeee....
F took on few rides, coz not many people...furthermore its 11pm++, of coz la dah tak ramai org.

Then, back to hotel & zzz.....the next day, breakfast & back home right away..

London-Day 7

Hye....phewww....these took me forever, huh!

Yup, we're finally arrive on my final day in London. I hate this, but anyway, our flight is at 11pm, still, a long day to go ya...

Morning- a fresh view from our hotel. It is quite cold, but i love those...



Had a good breakfast at the hotel: bread, cereal & juice. Just nice!

iklan jap- below ad are everywhere. But i knew it, it wont arrive in Mesia. Gotta purchase it online if it is not even on sale in dvd outlets.
We checked out but leave our luggage at the hotel as everybody did. Good eh? lucky they can do that. And in short, i like the hotel: Al Hambra.

They got friendly staff, not-so-crowded hotel...probably will drop by here again.
First agenda of day: Petticoat Lane market
This is a Sunday market where I heard we can get some thrifty items.



So, we took tube from King's Cross to Aldgate station.
First, we need to purchase for the train to the airport.

then, here we are at the Aldgate

Just a short walk, then we're at the Petticoat Lane market The market. It is sumting like Petaling street i can say, only that it dont have those counterfeits. Cheap shirts..blouses..some new, some maybe 'bundle' gak kut. I love the leather jacket. If u wanna one, get it from here, wuite cheap, perhaps around 40 to 80pds, boleh bargain lagi.



Memang cantik gilos especially those in dark red..hmmm...I'd love to buy one, tapi takut the material rosak plak, coz of the temperature here. Plus daku dah nak balik, bila masa lak nak pakai, & furthermore, malas nya nak memberatkan my luggage..hmmm..some other time la...



Got cheap t-shirts for souvenirs. 10pds for 5....aint it cheap? borong la byk2...berat tul!
We dont explore the whole market. Looks like it sells clothing the most. Malas la nak survey. We move on to 'Spitalfields Market' instead. just a walking distance.

While on the way, we passed by this- the Women's Library

************
The Spitalfield Market
Borong gak la kat sini...they're cute!!

My fav shop!!
Lets see, what i got this time around (apart from the other day nyer shopping, hehe)
Other cuties from around the market

spending some of my last pennies here...in short, i love this market. p/s: i do bargain for those scarf down there, hehe...
We wanted to go to Baker Street.
So, from Spitalfields, we need to go to Liverpool St. tube station.
These are around the Liverpool St.
Our next destination...
This is where Madame Tussauds is located. Lots of souvenirs shops here. Nyopping souvenirs lagik...(last minute shopping, hehe).
You can take the London's hop on/off bus from here.
Ticket is valid for 24 hours, but i've forgotten the ticket's cost. Search the net please....
Purpose of going to Baker St.?
I wanted to go to Regent's Park.

Views on the way to Regent's Park. Notice Beatles store & Sherlock Holmes museum down there?
p/s-the park is on your right, the beatles store is on the left row.Bout 5 to 10mins walk, we're at the Park already.
Views from the entrace we took, cantik kan?
Enjoy those views
lovely friends


roses andits sprigs
the roses garden. imagine how it looks in spring
ow, i love the name...
-a just-bloomed tulips-




hmm..i really love the park, no question! will definitely bring the kids to experience those moment.
Well, dah jalan2..lepak2...then its time to leave..here, while waiting for tube (pic pun goyang) Back to hotel, pick-up our luggage & back to King's Cross again to fetch the train.
Something that i hate to do...but things need to go back to reallity now....
It was still early, around 5pm maybe.
Views on the way to airport
Upon arriving at the airport,
enjoying our coffees for the final moment.I hate this, really..do i need to do this? grrr...H cant wait to depart as he hated the weather. As for me, i love these, this is 'cool' hokey??..haha..

Our luggages-we exceed 8kg & need to pay 40pds for that, chaiss...
So, thats bout it. I hate leaving but still...sedeynya nak balik..well its a mix of hate & exciting, coz i know, we'll meeting our angels soon
We departed around 11.30pm on Sunday and arrive KL at 7.30pm Monday. It took us around 10hrs to reach KL.
We reach home safely at around 1opm & we went to Ipoh that nite itself at 12m/nite & reach there at 2.30am. What a tiring day!!
But we're ok, coz dah puas tido in the flight plus sudah jetlag. (But i dont sleep well in the flight- got regreted for not buying sumting..bencilahh!!!).
so..thats it!
(finally manage to complete the whole journey)
