As mentioned in my last post, I went to Genting for the first time in my life with Su from 12 May to 14 May. A short R&R trip, just wat I needed to re-energize! Below is a recap on my trip (Part 1)...
12 May 2006
Oh god! I woke up late tat morning, at 6.50am!!! Was supposed to meet Su @ Kovan MRT at 7am and our coach was scheduled to set off at 7.30am. Wow! 1st time I got ready in 10 mins and luckily mum woke dad up to drive me, so still managed to meet Su and boarded the coach in time.
Then our long torturous journey started, with my stiff neck still bugging me (Yes! I havent fully recovered from my stiff neck then...T_T ).
There seems to be a no. of mountainous regions in Pahang (where Genting is in), and I was constantly thinking "Is this Genting?" Haha...but I guess once u hv been up there, u wouldnt miss it.
We reached First World Hotel at abt 3.30pm and although we hv booked our rooms in advance, we still had to queue up for our keys. Lucky they hv abt 20+ counters open to service the large holiday crowd. Haha...guess everyone wana make full use of this longer weekend (or at least I shld say quite a lot of S'poreans lah).
After freshening up in our rooms and taking a few photos, we went to explore ard.
I was quite impressed by the variety of shops there...seems more like a shopping mall actually, of coz with the exception tat there is an indoor entertainment centre. We decided to take the rides before we hv our dinner (coz I was afraid I might throw up my dinner if I had it 1st...hehe...). Though I din take many roller coasters ride before, the indoor roller coaster "Euro Express" was quite fun. It wasnt tat scary, which is why I do not understand all the screaming, but it was fun...Su and I was like laughing all the way when we took it the first time. The 2nd time on it was hilarious! Coz a hysterical lady sat behind us and was screeching like a banshee all thru the ride! Hahaha...funny just thinking abt it.
Another memorable ride is the monorail or the "Beetle" as I call it...might sound slow and boring but it brought us to the outer perimeters of the entertainment park. See how cute the Beetle is!!!
An indoor gondola ride opened our eyes to more things in the shopping mall.
Our poor gondola man and his gondola frens...did u know they work 24/7? Wonder how their pay is like??? :P
We had our dinner at Kenny Rogers, it was as expected, better than the Kenny Rogers in S'pore. Nice full dinner and we had wanted to go to the casino but coz Su was carrying digital cam, we decided to go back to our rooms to rest first. We had all these plans to visit the casino then to go drink at z pub but guess wat? I KO-ed when watching TV back in our room. Woke up only at 12mn plus and tot its was too late to go anywhere...plus I saw tat Su was asleep as well...but I woke her up to take off her contact lens before sleeping. And she asked an interesting qs: Did u switched off the TV? And I replied no...she didnt either... ... ...
