hi guys! just came back frm Genting highlands...it was a fantastic and enjoyable trip. let me bring u thru my trip
Day 1:
met up wif sabrina, shook yi, ben han, melaine, catherine, peini (not sure of spelling) and yuanguan(not sure of spelling) at 0830 at KL central. took bus frm there. the bus ride was abt 1 hour, no thanx to the driver speeding. my heart nearly stopped several times when i saw the driver speeding at corners and overtaking illegally. was a rather heart thromping ride up to the cable car station.
the 8 of us took the cable car up to genting. it took abt 20 mins. during the cable car ride, we were awed by the scenery tt greeted our eyes. hills, trees and clouds surrounded us. we were basically communing with nature..hehez..it was great...
checked into Hotel Theme park. had 2 rooms, 4 in each room. thank goodness there were 2 queen sized beds in each room, so each bed could share 2 persons. yes, u guessed it rite, i shared wif benhan...hahahaha! (been a long time since i slept beside a guy, the last being during camps).
had a light lunch and made our way to the outdoor theme park. the 8 of us spent the whole afternoon in the theme park. we took many rides such as the spinner, bumper boat, a relatively mild roller coaster, Go-kart racing and some other rides which i dunno the names..hehez..lalalala! i think the most enjoyable one was the bumper boat. if u know wat bumper car rides are abt, when u replace the cars wif boats on water, u get a bumper boat ride..haha! the 8 of us occupied 8 boats and drove the boats around a water compound, colliding with each other as frequent as possible. we also tried to get each other wet by accelerating at a high speed and then bumping the others, creating a large splash of water onto the victims..muuahahahaz! but there were times when things backfired....the 'do-er' got wet sometimes instead of the intended 'victim'. but anywayz, it was a ride filled wif laughter and screams..
we also took many photos along the way in the theme park (will upload them as soon as i receive them frm either sab or melaine). some photos were cool, childish, creative, stupid, and blah blah...anywayz, u name it, we got.haha!
stayed in the theme park until it was abt to close. retired to our rooms to shower and prepared for dinner. had buffet dinner at a restuarant which i cant remember the name as well..it was fabulous! we had beef, lamp and chicken and other buffet dishes. we rounded off the meal wif small cakes as desert. all of us were 3 months pregnant after dinner..haha!
walked ard after dinner to digest our food b4 returning to our rooms. watched a little bit of shrek on tv b4 the guys slept while the girls played 'heart attack' in the other room.
Day 2
woke up at 7 plus. breakfast at 8 at happy valley restuarant just beside our hotel lobby. did nothing much. played some bumper car and arcade games b4 checking out of the hotel and making our way back to Kl central.
all in all, i thoroughly enjoyed the trip at genting. it was really fun seeing the mist block ur visibility and walking thru clouds in the morning. by the way, i did not bring a jacket and therefore i was for most of the times, freezing..haha! not tt bad larz..it was quite cool though. reminded me of the winter times in australia i had in year 1999.
a big thank you to all for giving me such enjoyable memories b4 i leave for australia. arrigato!
