We went on a short vacation in Genting last weekend. But alas, when the kids were on the indoor carousal, I whipped out my digital camera ready to snap away only to realized I had forgotten to insert the memory card!! Boohoohoo! *bummer* So no choice have to make do with handphone camera. *sigh*
The children enjoyed most of the rides (i.e. carousal, Rio-float, Ferris wheel, reindeer cruiser, Venice Gondola, Ride de Paris, tea cup, antique car etc. just to name a few). My girl is the more adventurous type and wants to try everything, while boy needs some coaxing/bribing before he agrees to go on the ride to realize the thrill of it later.
At the outdoor theme park, I asked the kids whether they were up to trying the junior space shot since it’s having a short queue only; to my surprise both were game enough to try. At the beginning they seemed to enjoy when it was moving up, however both were visibly shaken by the drastic drop. I asked to operator to stop the ride to bring them out as girl was already crying. It was quite amusing to see their facial expression changed suddenly. *chuckles* Ok, ok, my bad to laugh at them! :P
My boy was disappointed he didn’t get to ride on the Flying Dragon since it was not operating on the day we used the theme park day-pass. Another disappointment was due to the skyway (cable car similar to the Langkawi trip) closure for maintenance; the children were looking forward to cable car ride before the trip. Haih… bummer again!
Other than rides, we got tickets to the Mysteria show. It is inclusive in the room package we booked online. I have to say the show was very entertaining, because the children were able to sit through the whole show without any fuss. :) The illusionist (from Las Vegas) is really good, the illusions fit into the storyline with well-choreographed dance and nice costumes; there are crossbow acts and Chinese arobatics too!
The only thing that marred the vacation was inconsiderate smokers. There was a man puffing away at the junior bumper car station while waiting for his kid’s ride. Can you believe that? There were so many children there!! During our meal in the restaurant, there was a woman at the next table smoking in front of her kids. *shake head* I mean, they can smoke all they want, it’s none of my business; but at least be considerate enough to NOT smoke in the presence OTHER PEOPLE’S CHILDREN!! We don’t want our lungs to be contaminated by second-hand smoke!
To inconsiderate smokers: Please, next time you take a puff, keep the smoke to yourself!
