The Family just had a short, hectic but wonderful weekend vacay in Malaysia
last Jan. 25-27.
Happy to disclose that we got our airfare on sale and our pre-paid 3D2N
accommodation at First World Hotel, Genting Highlands for 2,500PHP only
inclusive of 2 breakfast buffet + 1 dinner buffet. What a very cheap vacation
right?
Despite our CebPac flight to Malaysia was delayed by 3 hours due to their
technical reasons, we were all up to see Malaysia at midnight.
Though we have not arranged our airport-hotel transfer, different transport to
places in KL are available in the arrival area. Since we arrived at KL LCCT
around 10PM+, we just hired 1 van for the 7 of us going to Genting Highlands
for 450RM.
That almost-midnight trip to Genting Highlands for 1hr and 45 minutes was
breathtaking due to the darkness and the thick fog that covered the area.
What we can only see are the van's front lights following the neon-lighted
road signs. Thank God that our driver was very careful.
Checking-in at the First World Hotel was a swift which made us rest immediately
after the long time of waiting and travel. At 1 in the morning, several food and
coffee shops are still open and of course the casino known as the Las Vegas of
Malaysia - the only place where gambling is not prohibited.
The Family was sooooo excited in the morning to experience the Indoor and
Outdoor Theme parks of the resort. We had our buffet breakfast first in the hotel's
cafe and rushly headed to the theme parks. I got the unlimited rides for both the
indoor and outdoor theme parks for my son for 49RM and I got mine for 70RM.
Just imagine how tired I was after experiencing most of those rides.
And here is the map of the Theme parks...

The stores and fantastic views around...
My son insisted to swim in the Rain Forest Splash Pool and he really enjoyed
it despite the coldness around. We ended the day with our free dinner buffet
@ the hotel's cafe.
On our third and last day, we left the hotel at around 9AM for Kuala Lumpur's
skyscraper - Petronas Twin Towers.
From the First World Hotel, we rode a taxi for 100RM going to the Skyway
cable car ride station from the Highlands Hotel to Gohtong Jaya station.
We enjoyed the breathtaking views of the highlands through skycable ride for
6RM per person. They say its the fastest cable car ride over a 3.38KM. Since
we were 7, we occuppied one cable car. Compared to the cable cars of the
Ocean Park and Ngong Ping 360 in HK, I was relaxed here though its quite
fast. I think it was only less than 10-minute ride.
Got this framed photo for 50RM as a souvenir.
