6/12/2008 10:46:00 PM Alright people!!! I'm back from Genting yesterday at around 9.30pm. This post will be purely just an entry about what happened in Genting, photos will be uploaded in the next post when Andy send me the photos when he's free. =D
Day 1 Went to Bp's house to meet with the others before heading off to Kovan to take the coach. They played mahjong awhile to kill time and I used computer to kill my time off. Lol. So around 8pm plus, we set off to Kovan, ate a late dinner there before boarding the coach. The coach is not that bad, quite comfortable and cozy, aircon is very power as well. It doesn't have any games and small tv on the seat, but it got a screen in the middle of the bus ceiling screening a movie: 10,000 BC. But not much people were watching that show as they are all sleeping. Lol. The route to Genting is rather long, the highway is very scary as there wasn't any road lights around, the driver needs to look out for the cars' headlight as an aid for the road lights. Moreover, the driver is driving at a speed around 120km/h? He overtook a lot of buses during the journey, and I was quite afraid that if some wild boar dashes out, the whole bus will overturn. But luckily we reached Genting in one piece, reached First World Hotel at around 4am plus. But the check in time is around 1pm, so we went to bell counter to deposit our luggage first and we went to the lobby to... SLEEP. 1 cool thing during that time is that, Andy and Serene were lying on the chairs in the lobby, but the police officer didn't wake them up and wake the others doing the same thing instead, that was really a weird thing that happened. Haha. So at around 10am plus, we went to eat breakfast and kill off some time at the arcade. We played the basketball machine for the whole stay at the arcade, objective is to collect enough tickets to exchange a pillow for Bp's sis. Lol. Then we went to eat at pizzahut. And the service attitude in Malaysia simply sucked. We waited for damn long, kena cut que and the staffs inside are taking their own sweet time clearing tables. So there's one lady, I guess she's from HK, she scolded the waiter and there's a lot of vulgarities coming out, the waiter actually scolded the lady back too. What a nice thing to do eh? Haha. Cool yeah? And never expect iced water in M'sia, cos they will never give you as it is too precious. So at around 1pm, we went to check in to our hotel room, collected our luggages and off we go up to 17th floor of First World Hotel. =D So we settled down at the hotel room with our luggage and bathed for the first time in 10 hours. After bathing, we rested awhile at the room and met at 7.30pm for dinner and movie, Kungfu Panda. We ate Macdonalds for dinner, their menu is different from the SG's one, but the price is around the same. And the salt and sugar in M'sia seems to be free, the fries is freakingly salty and the milo is damn sweet. So after the dinner, we went to walk around in the shopping mall. Yiuhei, Andy, Bp, his bro and serene went to try out the archery. It seems fun but they all complained of aches after playing, luckily I didn't played. Haha. And Andy seems to be a pro in archery, he was very accurate and nearly hit the bulls eyes a few times. So we went to watch the movie at 11.30pm, although I've already watched the movie, but since the others had not watched it, I accompanied them to watch it, but the most of the time in the theater, I was sleeping. =x After the movie, we went back to the hotel to rest. Day 2 We woke up at around 8am plus and prepare, met the others at 9.30am and off we go to purchase the outdoor and indoor Theme Park ticket. The weather wasn't that ideal during that day, we sort of wasted money on the tickets due to the fog. So we played the indoor rides first, went to que up for the indoor mini roller coaster. The ride wasn't that scary at all, and I don't understand why there are so many people screaming and shouting. And we went to play bumper cars, it was quite fun but the arena was a bit too small. I was targeted by all of them and they went to crash onto me together, making me no way to go as I was the one who came up with the idea to do that at first. Haha. Then we went to the outdoor to see what rides was available. The fog was still very thick and we can hardly see anything far away from us. So we played the merry go round ride 1st, the ride wasn't that bad, except that it made us all very giddy. After this ride, we went to find the pirate ship. And we que up for it, seeing a lot of people screaming up there. But when we went up, we can't sit at the back row, if not the feeling will be much more greater. So we were somewhere in the middle, and I think vincent and me pissed some of the people up there, as we were screaming and trying to make them shout, but there was no output from the others that we dunno on the pirate ship. Lol. Then we went to que up for the Spaceshot, but only vincent bp serene and me were keen to play this. We que up for quite some time and see a lot of people shouting, and the machine making loud noise, and what's worst? Someone's handphone actually dropped down from the ride when it is coming down at a super fast speed. He put his phone on his shirt pocket, and of cos, when the ride is coming down at such a speed, everything will fly out. A lot of people were shocked by the phone dropping down, and we were afraid that it might hit anyone and it will be severe cos the dropping speed is very fast. Not long after this incident, it was our turn to go up. Serene bp and vincent sat tgt, while I separated from them and sat with a Malaysian couple and they are very funny and friendly. On the way up, we were chatting quite happily, but when we reached the top, I was quite nervous as the fog was very thick and we couldn't see anything. It's as if we were in the clouds. And the moment it goes down, it was so fast that I could hardly react, my mouth was wide open but no voice came out. It was only until it stopped and went up again then my voice came out. The girl sitting beside me was so scared that she said that she should not have came up. LOL. And the bf had to helped her down the seat and walk with her. I was very cold and shivering all the way. Haha. Then we went to take some kind of slow moving boats, it is going really slow that we had to wait for rather long for the boat to come. The boat ride was nothing much, it brings us into a small cave quite smelly and humid and showed us dinosaurs life. Nothing much of the ride really, no thrill at all. Haha. And the weather got worst, started to rain quite heavily. So we went back to the hotel room and decided to go and take cable car down the mountains, it's the longest and fastest cable car in the whole of South East Asia. But a pity that the weather was foggy, couldn't get to enjoy the scenery in the cable car. So we reach the bottom of the mountains and went to buy some local specialties. We bought quite a lot of things, and went to take the cable car up the mountains at around 7pm. The sky was all dark and we can only see the spotlights on the cable car route. When we reached, we planned to go have dinner, but Andy wanna go back to the theme park to buy some souvenirs, so we went back to the theme park. But when we reached there, the shops had already closed. So we can't buy anything there, and we went to play some of the rides again, so as not to waste the money. Vin and me went back to play Spaceshot again, and shocking enough, the fog is starting to clear and we can see much more clearly. And this time, the Spaceshot experience was much more terrifying compared to the 1st ride. Firstly cos that we can now see the things below, and also cos we know the feeling of it already. And I was amazed that Vin actually was so steady to play the ride again with me, I was quite scared but he was damn calm throughout. Haha. After the ride, we heard some kids saying that some thrilling rides were opened. So we went to check it out, but only Cyclone was activated. So we went to que up for it, and unluckily enough, Bp serene and me, tgt with a small kid was asked to sit at the 1st seat, so we had to go first. The start of the ride was quite creepy, as there was a blackout due to short circuit. And we were afraid that if we were going halfway, the whole thing stopped and we got stucked in the middle of nowhere. But it started out smoothly, and it wasn't that scary at all, I screamed just for fun, to make others nervous only. Haha. Then we went for dinner after the ride, had dinner at Only Thai restaurant. The food wasn't that bad, except that the quantity was far too little, and we wasn't full after the meal. Haha. After the dinner we went to walk around awhile and head back to the hotel. I guess we slept shortly after we reached, all of us were quite tired after the long day. Day 3 Nothing much happened on the last day, we woke up and met for breakfast at a Dim Sum restaurant. The food wasn't that bad, the porridge was very nice, but as usual the quantity was far too little. After the breakfast, we went back to our room to pack up. And prepared to check out of the room. The hotel rooms there were actually quite 'dirty' as bp they all heard strange noises during the 1st night, and during the 2nd night we heard a loud noise like a sewage in the middle of the night. But never mind, we are all safe and sound. We brought our luggage to the bell counter again to deposit there and went walking around to kill off time. I kind of forgot what happened during the last day, and we board the bus at around 3pm. The route downhill was much faster than uphill, the driver stopped at some place where we can buy local specialties there, so we spent some time buying stuffs there, I bought quite a lot of things there and I think I spent a lot on food in M'sia. Haha. And we boarded the bus and continued with the journey back to Sg, I couldn't really sleep as I wasn't that tired. The 2nd stop was at some deserted place where we can eat our dinner, Andy bought a box of bubble gum and we all split it up and placed it into our jacket pockets. Haha. So nothing happened at the checkpoint and we were all cleared. Reached Sg at around 9pm. That's all for what happened during my 3D2N in Genting, photos will be uploaded in the next post. So stay tuned. =D |
