Deepavali & Raya Holiday

A little record on what we did during our holiday break.

We spent our break at the in-laws back in Klang Valley and got back home on Wednesday afternoon. Hubby was back to work on Thursday.

Our holiday was mainly a family affair and we didn’t plan any get away this time. The kids particulary enjoy the presence of their daddy and they had great time to get close with daddy. It’s heart warming to see the kids spending so much quality time with their daddy and I believe they do treasure this very rare precious moment.

Though it was Deepavali, the production line at hubby’s office was still running so hubby gone back to the office a few hour in the morning for work.

Packed and started our journey back to KL in the afternoon. Had dinner with the in-laws in one of the Chinese Restaurant in PJ State. MIL would start a 9 day plain vegetarian meal on Sunday in conjunction with the Chinese 9 Goddess (jiu wang ye tan 九王爷诞) celebaration.

22/10

Hubby sent his parents to Ampang to one of the temple for prayer while we “lepak” at SIL’s place.

Spent the afternoon and dinner with my parents.

23/10

Decided not to follow SILs to KLCC for shopping. Didn’t have any solid plan. Initially thought of taking a ride to the site of our new house, but later decided on an impromptu trip up to Genting. I had mentioned to hubby earlier that WH has never been up there but JS has been there a few times, that’s how hubby made up his mind to go up hill “for some fresh air”.

Invited PIL along. Started our journey at about 10am. Reached Genting at 11.30am. First stop was at the temple in Genting. Later went downhill to Gotong Jaya for lunch.

We were too quick to mention about the cable car ride uphill to JS and she was very excited about it and nothing can changed the plan if we have already mentioned to her. After lunch we proceeded to the cable car station. While hubby was parking the car, FIL was too quick to buy the tickets. From the cab driver there, we knew if we were to drive up hill, it was impossible to find a parking and also he mentioned about long queue for the cable car ride. (That time we didnt know). After hubby came to find us, up we went to queue for the ride, we were shock to see the line. It was such a long queue with tourist (Bad day, bad choice!!)

We queued for almost 1 hour plus before we even manage to go near the platform. The 2 poor old folks were so worn out by then since they have weak knees. The kids were also very tired.

Of course our patient already wearing thin. At this moment, some “SUA TU SEI PAT POH”  who talk in very loud voice and  dont know from which kampung, with some sort of Genting Silver Worldcard walk through the VIP passage (which meant JUMP QUEUE la!) We were still quite ok with that since they are those “HANTU JUDI”, we thought they will join the queue from then, (from the VIP passage with will link to the normal queue, which mean they still suppose to queue to wait for their turn to board the cable car) At that time we were quite near to the platform already. What happened was these “SEI PAT POT” so KIASU and wanted so much to donate money to Lim Goh Tong just pushed me from behind and try to squeeze through between the bar and me to go to the front of the queue. Such idiot! At that time I was carrying a very grumpy JS, I started to yell and scolded them from pushing me and without even saying “excuse me”. Wah lau…these “SEI PAT POH” never apologize and think they were right from the beginning started to scold me back. #@#!$$%&%* They said I was wrong for purposely blocking their way. Of course the yelling game began. I wanted so much to curse and scold them more but hubby and FIL pulled me aside. They went 2 cable cars ahead of us. To think back now , I still feel so heated to be bullied by these BITCHES. I hope they POKKAI alot that day.

Up the hill we went, and everyone were too tired to do anymore walking and sight seeing, morever the crowd just make it impossible to go anywhere. i suppose if we were to go to the theme park, we wont get to enjoy. So what we did was walk to the nearest pastry shop and had tea. After tea, we decided we have enough of Genting and decided to call it off for the day.

All we did for this impromptu trip was to get ourself so worn off, stuck in the queue , ended up in a quarrel with some bloody bitches and have an expensive tea. 

By the time we reached KL was around 5.30pm. Detoured to Section 17 to do dinner reservation at one of the vegetarian restaurant for next day dinner. By the time we reached SIL’s place after sending PIL back was already 6.30pm. Spending most of the time of the day in the car and at the very back passenger seat really make me feel lethargic..maybe due to the bumpiness in the car and lack of oxsigen.

24/10

Shopping day.

We had plan to go Ikea and have lunch there with one of hubby’s friend who will be going to Canada soon. We have some shopping to do as well.

Had lunch at Ikano and then went to the curve to get our shopping , unfortunately we cant get the things we wanted. Decided to go 1U after some window shopping at Ikea.

Ikea was also very crowded which made window shopping unenjoyable. (We were quite excited about our dream house, that’s why we go Ikea to collect some ideas… even JS was also very excited, already requesting us to paint her room in pink and white and she requested a few things to put in her room)

Went to 1U after that. Wanted to buy a cake for WH from Bakerzin, but they were closed. We ended up with a Black Florest from Bread Story. Bought some candies for this coming Saturday Halloween. One of the resident at SIL’s neighbourhood had organized this event for the kids in the neighbourhood to go around houses to “trick a treat”.

While walking to our car after shopping, we witnessed another “Ugly Malaysian Attitude” . 2 women fighting for our car park. There are people in this world that is really so selfish and only think about their own convinient. Car1 already put signal to park at our lot and waited for us to leave for some time, and Car 2 coming out of no where behind us, despite seeing Car1 waited there, still insist to take our lot and trying to block car1 hoping to get in the parking lot first. I gave Car2 a wicked stare and Car1 woman came down to talk to Car2 (can’t hear what they said, we were already in the car)

Reached home about 6pm. Busy helping SIL packed the candies. Last year we just put everything in the basket and got JS to distribute to the kids, but the kids didn’t really queue and they snatched. Some got more, some didn’t get, some wanted to choose a particular flavour so ended up with a few dissapointed kids. This year we tied these candies in little packets , so they dont get to choose. (SIL#2 always very generous with treats! :D )

 Last year halloween at SIL’s place. JS’s distributing candies to the children in the neighbourhood.

Night was WH’s birthday celebration. (we celebrated a day earlier)

25/10

WH’s 2nd birthday. Spent the morning with in laws at home. We headed back to our own home after lunch.

    Yeah I learnt from my first experience to Genting last year not to go during peak periods. We went on the first day of mid year school holidays of both malaysia and s’pore around end may. Wah the queue at the cable car station was terrible, just crowded with people at the whole platform and like u we queue for at least one hour. So for subsequent two trips, we always go during school term, since my daughter preschool, ponteng one day Ok. Wah, off peak days absolutely no queue, just walk straight to cable car… shiok. theme park also will not be so crowded. We just went genting in Sep, can read my blog about it. Maybe can try to go another time, i’m sure WH will like the theme park. My daughter and neighbout really like the place.

    we never learnt from our mistake..always like to make impromptu trip like this. There was once hubby and me decided a impromptu trip to Hadyai during CNY. We almost can’t find a place to stay and ended up in a very lousy hotel and the place very crowded.

    Next trip up to Genting…might wait till there’s special event with complimentary tickets than only we go la…
