I’ve meant to write soon but between Facebook and Twitter, I’ve really been kept busy with these 2 really.

As I wrote this entry while waiting for the bus, I realised technology have come a long long way. With new updates and even newer ones every second. Trying to keep up with it is just another everyday chore for me at least.

Ok enough of technology-shrewd, now time to catch up with the life I am living on right now with friends and family.

As I’ve been on a hiatus for a few months now or rather being lazy to write, our family life has never been better when we go on a holiday last June amidst the H1N1 saga.

As we have been planning this trip for more than a year, the risk of getting infected doesn’t seem to deter us from going ahead although at that time Australia was the most populated country with H1N1 infections. Of course my other family members (specifically both of our mums) were really concern on our decision to the point that we wanted or at least try to cancel the trip at the very last minute and in hope for no cancellation charges incurred. After convincing them with us taking more precautions like getting the hand-sanitizer, the in-famous face mask and cleaning habits, we got the green-go sign *stubborness*.
Our long awaited trip starts with the parents sending us to the airport, you see, that’s a tradition in the family, where plane rides are concern, they come scrambling to send us off wherever we might be going near or far! Lucky my weekly ‘out-of-the-country-grocery-shopping’ trips were not sent off too mind you!

Anyways, to cut the long story short, we had such great time, wonderful in fact that I am thinking of another trip to Australia…perhaps Perth this time oh but that will be another year or 2 planning. In the meantime, we’ll just stick to short getaways to Malaysia

Since, I am writing this from my BB, not many photos I can attach here, I’ll just put up some of the highlights, so enjoy the pictorial.

*having problem uploading pictures now – stay tuned*

Yep…went for a quickie last Thursday! Nope…don’t get me wrong, its just a quick getaway!

It has been 4 years back since we last went to Genting.  So the hubby decided to go again this year to get the different “climate”.  It was indeed quite a climate change for us.  When we arrived, the weather is about 17-18 deg.  It rained quite a bit too with heavy fogs and wind.

The trip began with a lovely surprise for us as we were given an Executive Coach *double decker* which normally the tour agencies would charge an extra $50 to upgrade from a normal 26-38 seater one.   It’s been a fantasy for the hubby actually to ride on one!…hehehehe…not that we can’t afford for the upgrade, it’s just a bus anyways So you can see how excited he was when we were given that!

After that comfortable ride, with a few stops along the way, we arrived Genting @ about 2pm. 

While we were walking up this pathway heading for the hotel lobby from the bus terminal, we saw this long long long queue of people and a yellow neon sign board caught my eyes, it says “FIRST WORLD HOTEL CHECK-IN FOR TOUR GROUP”.  Both me and hubby stared at each other at that very instant!….huh?…are we considered a part of a tour group although we booked as F&E???…hmmm….being a Singaporean and kiasu as I am, I asked the hubby to just queue first while I go “checked it out” and that very same instant a gentleman approached us and told us that we have to queue in order to get a queue number to be called for check-in-to the hotel!!!!..  got it?….very the leceh you know!!!….that same gentleman suddenly slipped a queue number to the hubby and told us to stop queing instead but wait for our number to called.  So we went in to this small hall where we find like a few thousand people *okay exaggerating abit here but it sure looks like it* waiting for their number to be called as well!!!   “Aiyoh dah macam polyclinic daaaaa” the hubby exclaimed!

What more, look at the queue number we had…

and the Queue Number Board!!

Bila nak game!

Anyways, after the ordeal, the following day were quite okay…the boys had fun with all the rides including mummy too…:-)

Fadeliq had his first roller coaster ride (after much persuasion)

Face all cramped up with a tight grip..LOL

Oh yeah..at the end of the trip, hubby had a terrible gastric pain…poor him

More photos of the trip @ flickr soon.

For the last few weeks, I’ve been helping my hubby to search for the best deals to go to Vietnam. Its been quite a hassle although I do kinda enjoy it. Trying to find hotel & flight rates for 2 (initially)…but now it seem that its gonna be a few of them going. Why Vietnam? you ask? ..Well one of his family member were trying out the market over in Vietnam and apparently, it seem that venturing out some business there is worth the while!. Oh well, let see how things go. So Vietnam…here we go!
