Genting Highlands
We went to Genting Highlands the Sunday before last and stayed 2 nights there. Dad and Kenzu went to the Casino a few times. Mum and I looked after the babies. We also took Zerlynde for her Merry-Go-Rounds. Within 3 days, she took about 20 rides. She was so happy.
Genting Highlands is not my favourite holiday destination. However, I went because both dad and mum like it there, dad for the casino and mum for the cool weather. I remember when I was young, my parents used to bring my siblings and I to Genting during the school holidays. We were allowed to roam about as we wished. I remember vaguely the bowling alleys and the really huge and tall slides, also the outdoor boat rides etc. At that time, we had to walk outside in the cold from the hotel to the outdoor theme parks. There was no indoor walkway. Dad used to give us RM50-00 each for the duration of our stay and we would all blow them away on these little entertainments and the game machines. I loved Genting then.
This round however, I must confess I was rather bored. I don’t gamble, so the casinos meant nothing to me. All I did was bring Zerlynde to the Merry-Go-Rounds. Hubby brought us to The Bakery on Monday morning but our breakfast was cut short when Zerlynde threw up. We also checked out the various eateries for our lunches and dinners with my parents. The food quality at most of the eateries was rather poor. So, we actually settled for KFC for dinner on our 2nd evening! I think The Bakery was the only nice place at Genting. It has got pretty good scones, croissants and pastries.
Some mega Bollywood event was being held at the Arena of Stars that weekend. Apparently, all the big stars were there. We had to go through a massive crowd when we checked into Highland Hotel. The place was full of policemen, reporters and fans. On one occasion, we even shared the same lift with an actress and an actor. As we stepped out of the lift into the lobby, the photographers clicked away, so I won’t be surprised if Zerlynde and I appeared in some major Tamil newspapers, albeit in the background picture of some superstar.
