Didn’t get a good night sleep, practically not sleeping at all for all of us. The fan speed couldn’t be controlled, even the slowest was still so fast. It dried up my nose and my nose got blocked until I couldn’t breath and I had to rushed to the bathroom to get the hot water from the tap to drink to ease my nose and wash my face. It’s a good thing the tap water can be drank so you get drinking water anytime you need be it hot or cold.

It was quite cold too. I couldn’t stand it and off the fan, the fan was pretty noisy. Once it’s off, it’s so quiet. At least I did get a few hours on and off sleep after that.

My dad did sleep for few hours until he woke up from having an itchy back then went back to sleep again. Easy! Just hear him snored(I could sleep even people next to me is snoring but I couldn’t sleep listening to the noise from the fan) and you will know he’s sleeping hahaha… My mom didn’t sleep much too, it’s too cold and she hated the blanket *LOL* She also woke up suddenly due to itchy back. Wonder why? Their bed got some bugs? *LOL*

I hated the blanket too. You know the brown rough kind. Anyway, our room was quite far away, had to take two lifts and walked a long way to reach but nice view.

Opened the door and greeted by this nice view and cold fresh air. Nice sunrise. Since we all couldn’t sleep, we woke up before 7am.

The cloud was down there, we’re up there! If you’re staying at First World Hotel, you’ll be inside the cloud.

Since the room was inclusive of breakfast for 2, so my mom and I went for it while my dad went to look for his own breakfast, he ended up having it at the casino coz got free flow Milo(he liked the Milo a lot while my mom and I liked the teh tarik) and food were cheaper than out there.

Happy Valley Seafood for our breakfast buffet.

The food variety were just right. Wanted to try everyone of them but my stomach wasn’t feeling very well when I’m half way eating *LOL* I hadn’t done my “big business” after I woke up.

We quickly had our breakfast and left hehehe…

Missed out something in earlier post. Before we reached the cable car station, the taxi driver brought us to Chocolate Gallery aka Cocoa Boutique at Gohtong Jaya. Well… I’m sure he will get some commission for sending us there ;p. I missed it in Penang, finally got the chance to visit it here.

The chocolate were surprisingly smooth and rich. They’re made in Malaysia and it’s halal. We tried quite a number of chocolate there and spent RM201.90 on 4 types of chocolates.

It’s better to buy the chocolate in plastic packaging rather than box because it’s much cheaper. Don’t worry about the ugliness as they will provide you with box for each packet.

Left: Panned Tiramisu Milk Almond(RM48). It’s very bitter at first but once the coat of powder is gone, the smooth and rich milk chocolate just melt in the mouth.

Right: Harriston Panned Milk, White, Dark Assortment(RM88). Haven’t open this up to eat ;p However, tried in on the spot, not bad too. Very smooth chocolate.

Left: Olivia Milk Raisin(RM16.90), bought it just to make the total reach RM200 *LOL*

Right: Harriston Durian Milk Chocolate(RM49), haven’t open this up to try yet, it will expire in March as there is no preservative and real durian is used for the filling of this chocolate. I heard quite a lot of good reviews about it so we decided to buy it.

Here’s the view from the lobby of Theme Park Hotel. Taken after came out of our room.

We walked, walked, walked aimlessly. Just to see see look look.

When it’s dinner time, we thought of going back to have chili crab at Happy Valley Seafood Restaurant at Theme Park Hotel but discovered the steamboat promotion(RM19.90++/pax) at Hot Pot. Since the night is cool, having steamboat would be fun. You can choose to have tom yam or chicken soup. We opted for chicken soup.

Too bad… Was disappointed with the choice of food available. The only thing that worth to eat was the prawn, the rest were just those fish balls, meatballs, vegetables, you know… Those usual steamboat thing that will make you bloat. The chicken meat wasn’t thinly cut and had lots of bones. You get free flow Chinese tea.

The prawns were quite fresh but it finished very fast! It’s limited too! It took them quite a while to refill. Well… Estimated from what we had, I don’t think each of us ate more than RM19.90++. Overall total was RM68.65(inclusive of GST and service charge).

Anyway, what most important is that we are no more hungry, we felt warmer ;p and it’s been a long time we don’t have steamboat session together. I think we should find a day maybe when my sister and brother are back to have a steamboat session together.

After dinner, we walked again to anywhere, everywhere, as long that there’s road to walk. Visited all the casinos too but didn’t gamble a single cent. After that, we called it a night and headed back to our room.

My very first trip with my parents. I mean going somewhere out of Kuching ;p

Flight at 11.50am. Weather was fine and flight was on time. Love the clouds.

Since it’s noon, we had lunch on board. First time pre-book the food. You can save 20% if you pre-book your food. Just present your boarding pass and you will be served. You will be served first before they start selling the food on board.

Left: Chicken Ham & Cheese Sandwich that was supposed to be roti canai but they changed their menu. Sandwich as it is.
Right: Bukhara Chicken Briyani, don’t really like it. It came with a small cup of water.

Wanted to claim my bro’s food which was nasi lemak since he won’t be going on the flight but the check-in counter girl said cannot… Wasted… Aih… I should have order the nasi lemak under my name rather than the roti canai.

Left: Chicken rice, not so bad. This also came with a small cup of water.

Right: We decided to go to KL Sentral instead of going to Genting direct from LCCT because it was too expensive! RM217!! We went to KL Sentral, paid RM27 for 3 persons. We wasted too much time waiting for the Skybus to start moving as the bus wasn’t full. Everything became way behind schedule.

Then took a taxi to Genting that cost us RM90. Actually only RM80 but since the taxi driver was so friendly and down to earth, my dad decided to give him RM10 tip. This photo was taken at a nearby petrol station as we went for the toilet.

The taxi sent us to the skyway station. The ride up there cost RM15 for 3 persons.

Luckily we took taxi else our room will be gone! We must check-in before 6pm and we reached the hotel at around 5.30pm. That was close! If we’re using bus, we won’t be in time. Furthermore it took us quite a while to walk to Theme Park Hotel from the skyway station because it’s very far away. The entrance wasn’t far from the outdoor theme park entrance.

The quad room I booked last year. Only RM78.80! What a steal! First World Hotel got very small room, less facilities, price was almost the same and only could fit 2 persons. Theme Park Hotel… 4 persons! Room was big and we got very nice view. Inclusive of breakfast for 2.

The pictures here do not justify the beauty though. What to do? I’m a lousy photographer ;p You really have to see it with your own eyes. Can’t wait to show you the sunrise view.
