The night before, we checked the Genting site and mapped our itinerary. We decided to take the bus at KL Sentral. But when we reached KL Sentral, the next available bus was at 2PM. A taxi driver approached us and offered to take us to Genting at RM80. I know it was expensive because the bus ticket would have only cost us RM8.30, cable car fee included. But since we had no choice we took the cab.
The ride was smooth and fast. The driver certainly knew his way. What we didn't anticipate was the zigzag road. I got dizzy myself. And EJ threw up twice. One on me and one on his daddy. I got scared when I looked at EJ because he looked pale for a minute. Thankfully, we were near the Skyway when he threw up. We took a rest for a while to let EJ get on his feet again. After a few minutes he was back to his normal self.
We bought our bus ticket going to back to KL before heading to the cable car. The available bus trip was at 3:30PM. We took it eventhough we only have 4 hours to explore Genting. We reasoned we were only there to see what Genting is all about and of course to take pics. I am not a big fan of rides anyway, and so is my cousin.
We purchased a return cable ride for RM10/person. This was my second cable ride. The first one was in Sentosa, Singapore. It was so terrifying. So I braced myself for another terrifying ride up to Genting Resort. But surprisingly, I wasn't that scared compared to my first ride. It was scary alright but my cousin and I laughed it off. He was more scared than me! Hahaha! Meanwhile EJ and hubby were enjoying the ride.
Cable car rideA gust of cold air touched our face when we went outside. The weather was like Baguio on summer. Bearable coldness. I opened my bag and reached for my camera so I can start clicking away. But alas, I have forgotten to bring our camera and the extra micro sd we always carry whenever we go on a trip. Shame! Good thing my cousin did not forget to bring his.

There are two theme parks in Genting, the outdoor and indoor theme parks which are connected to each other. We paid RM38 to enter the outdoor theme park (tip: if you want to explore both theme parks it is cheaper to buy all park unlimited pass at RM51). EJ rode the astro fighter. He loved it. He didn't wanna go down!

Next we rode the monorail. It was slow and it was perfect for people who are scared of rides and height like us. The monorail ride went around the indoor and outdoor theme parks. The ride took 25 minutes. EJ got bored. Hahaha!

After lunch we just roamed around. We went down Skyway at 3PM by cable car. My cousin was so scared but he kept on laughing. It was so contagious, we couldn't help but laugh as well. At exactly 3:30PM our bus arrived. Thank God the ride back home was uneventful. EJ slept through the entire ride.
It was such a short trip but I felt it was enough. I guess for people who love rides, a half day tour is not enough especially on weekends where you have to line up for rides.

Yay, nakapag genting na kayo! :) Ang sarap ng hangin doon. ilavet!
Dapat talaga maaga kayo sa KL Sentral kasi sobrang haba ng pila.
I feel bad for EJ, though. Siguro isip nya, 'I shouldn't have come with you, guys.' Hahaha. Joke lang.
Maganda dun for camwhoring galore! Gusto namin bumalik. Pero dapat merong yaya si little guy para ma-try ko naman ang rides, at di lang ung Teacup thingum. Waaah! Teacup lang talaga ang nasakyan ko dun.
Katherine - actually camwhoring galore lang purpose namin. Un nga lang naiwanan ko cam namin kaya naki-share lang kami.
Ur right, ang sarap ng hangin dun. Tama lang ang lamig.
Kami ng cousin ko, ung monorail lang nasakyan namin..hahaha!
Looks like you had a wonderful time with the family. Great photos at the theme park. I'm sure you enjoyed all the rides.
Rachel - Thanks. I only tried one ride. I am not fan of it anyway. But my baby had a great time.
