I happened to know some of the jan 08 mummies are also planning for Genting during that period so they shared info on the various packages and what hotel to stay etc. After getting their advice, I went to the travel agent at Lavender (recommended by them) to book a F&E package to Genting which include 2 nights stay @ Resort Hotel and a super VIP coach ride to Genting. Initially i requested for First World Hotel Superior Deluxe or World Club room but unfortunately it was fully booked due to some stupid concert. Thus, we got to stay at Resort Hotel deluxe room which is cleaner, bigger but no bathtub! :( So prior to the trip, we also bought a baby pool which will be used a bathtub for Danelle.

It's not easy to bring 2 babies for a short trip. The bag is packed with diapers and milk powder. Well the good thing is i am still breastfeeding Danelle so no milk powder required. :P However, the amount of clothes to bring for them still takes up a lot of space as the weather in Genting is cold so we brought extra clothes for them. The night before Adelle was sick and we are worried if she can make it there so we also brought along her medication. Thank God when she woke up that morning, she was better and off we go.
We gathered at Lavender MRT at 6.45am and it was a 8hrs coach ride. Danelle and Adelle was quite cooperative thoroughout the coach ride and we don't have much issue to keep them occupy though we brought along our portable dvd player for Adelle in case she is bored and want to see her favourite shows. The coach that we took was a double decker with 22 seaters so it was very spacious. In between, the coach stop for coffee/breakfast break and we bump into our friend Jack's mother who travelling up to Genting with her friends. :)
Finally we reached Genting at 2+pm and the queue to check in was super loooong. It was another 50+ numbers b4 our turn. Of cos i won't be that silly and sit there to wait loh... ;) I went to a queue that meant for those who missed their turn and tell the recept that i have 2 hungry and tired babies so wonder if they can give us a room first. To my surprise, my request was granted! Yippeee!! So we quickly checked into our room and we do get quite a nice view overseeing the outdoor theme park. It was 3.30pm by the time we settle down and we quickly head for our late lunch @ some soup restaurant within the hotel vicinity. Adelle doesn't have much appetite so she ate very little. After lunch, we just walked around and see where is the first world hotel and theme parks.
For dinner, we decided to eat the zi char stall in Genting that was located near the mushroom farm. We told the hotel staff that we want to go to the zi char stall and they gave me a number to call. We happily took the mini van that came to fetch us and ended up at the wrong zi char stall. The one that was recommended by the web was Mei Jin but we are forced to eat at 9100 cos we took their van so must order from them!!! Anyway we are super unhappy so didnt take any pics though the food was ok lah....
After dinner, we took the van back and request to drop off at First World Hotel so that we can shop around before heading back to our hotel rooms. We only get to walk around a few shops before Adelle start making noise as she was still kinda sick so we decided to go back early to rest. Along the way back to our hotel, we found the shortcuts to walk to-and-fro to First World Hote. After settling down the kids to bed at 10pm, we went to the casino and only back to our room at 1am. Hubby only play the jackpot and as usual donated some $ to the casino. :P

Next morning, we went for our breakfast buffet but Adelle doesn't have much appetite so she didn't eat much. After breakfast, we went back to grab our stuff to go for the outdoor theme park. Adelle had lotsa fun playing the rides and finally see her smiling despite that she is still recovering. :) We managed to play most of the rides before it start to drizzle around lunch time. So we went to buy our lunch at KFC and go back to our room to let the gals take a short nap. When they woke up at around 4pm, we went to the indoor heated swimming pool. It was fun as the pool was warm and Danelle especially enjoying inside the pool.
When it's dinner time, we went to a restaurant call Hao You Ji recommended by my colleague who frequent Genting and the dishes were yummy. Coincidentally we met Jack's mum there again. Genting is indeed a small place. :P Adelle appetite start to get better and she ate a bowl of rice that evening.
After dinner, we went for the indoor theme park as we paid for the whole day (indoor and outdoor) theme park price. Adelle loves the ferris wheel ride and doesn't want to get down when it stopped. There isn't much rides that Adelle can take except those family rides. So we completed most of the rides within 1-2hrs and we slowly head back to our room.

Time to say Goodbye to Genting and head back to home. The gals behaved well on the trip back and we reached Singapore at 8+pm. It was a short trip but thank god that we survived though Adelle was sick and a little cranky when she was there. As for Danelle, she didn't get to play the rides but she get to play with us cos she slept in the same room with us while Adelle was in another room. :P However, the next day Danelle fell sick with fever and that is the first time that she got to take medication. Poor baby. :(
