GenTiNg!!
Sunday, 8 July 2007
Yey! Back from malaysia's genting! (pronounced as gen(根)-ting as corrected by my Malaysian friends..) Travelled up to genting on Tuesday morning on Trans Star coach. The other time my family took the grassland coach and i remembered it was quite uncomfortable after sitting for long hours and was very very cold... This time, the coach has massage chairs which sends vibrating beats every time i pressed a button. Wasn't very comfortable but well at least that was something. The coach also has videos showed on small individual screens for us to watch. Watched only 2 shows throughout the journey as i fell asleep most of the journey.

Reached at about 2 in the afternoon. Checked into our rooms at First World hotel straightaway. Got kinda lousy rooms -- located at tower 2 which means that we had to walk quite a distance in from the main lobby and out to other places, rooms at 5th storey with a block of building as scenery (sianz...), super small and narrow rooms with no bathtub and no connecting doors (which ended up in us knocking on each other's door to get stuff...) Other than that, just glad to have a bed to sleep on (sound so sarcastic and complainy wahahah :p)

Went to eat & walk around on the 1st night. Me & my bro went to play at the indoor theme park while my parents went to try their hands at the casino as always.. My luck was of the best that night! Went to play spin the wheel at 1 of the game stalls and won myself a towel & an elephant soft toy!! My bro on the other hand won 100 game points! Guess it is what they say beginner's luck????? wahaha.. In the end, we accumulated around 1400++ game points & went to exchange for a pretty photo frame & cup!! =)

On the 2nd day, went to play at the outdoor theme park with my brother. The weather in the morning was very foggy so had no choice but to play around at the indoor theme park 1st before going outside in the afternoon. There are a lot of thrill rides over at the park -- the flying coaster, crock screw and the pirate ship were my favourites! The space shot was the scariest!! As we queued up for the space shot, the weather turned foggy again so when we were sent all the way up the tower, I could see nothing at all except white clouds. Can't imagine how scary it is when you are all the way up there yet can't see anything and then suddenly you are being dropped all the way down.. Whoa..my heart almost popped out!! What I am most disappointed is the Go-kart. I dunno whether is because they once had an accident there or what but the regulations there are quite strict -- we had to sign an agreement stating that WE are responsible for our OWN SAFETY and we had to wear a helmet. Sounds like the tracks are going to be real exciting & thrilling?? Well..to the contrary, I spent the 5 mins going round & round in circles on the flat track.. Even the Go-kart at Escape is much more exciting with the slopes la..& we didn't even had to sign any agreement or wear the heavy helmet -.-'' The rest of the rides are alright but i guess as i sat on every single rides, the thrill is no longer there so well..haha

The next night, went to watch the show there with my mum. The show was entitled 'FLY' and it was a magic show coupled with acrobats. It was very exciting looking at how graceful the acrobats performed their stunts and the magic performed by the chief magician. A show worth to watch!


We packed our bags and left on Friday afternoon. After 3 days of stay there, guess had our fair share of play and fun (genting isn't very big anyway.. :P) Halfway through the journey, we stopped at a store selling local products to buy some products back like beh teh soh, tau sa pia, gong tang... Reached Singapore at around evening time. While queuing up at the Singapore customs, suay queued behind i think a Malaysian guy who had some problems with his passport so in the end had to wait for quite a long time before able to get pass. Whole bus was waiting for my & my dad who was queuing behind me -.-'' Reached home at around 11pm. Finally home sweet home!! (though i wish can go overseas for a longer period of time but well..better than nothing heex) =)

Foggy weather up there...
