Genting July '06

Alritey, i just got back from Genting yesterday. The trip was a blast and i really hope that it wouldnt end so soon but the price of food would kill me and the others if we continued staying there. Besides, i dont think we have anything else to do there because we've done almost everything possible in Genting. FYI, i didnt gamble because i didnt have the feeling to gamble. I know it sounds ridiculous but that's the way it is. Anyway, Choo won RM 50 from Uncle Lim (good for you, Choo) but unfortunately Ash lost RM 25 to Uncle Lim (maybe the next time you'll win it back).

So, here goes the picture story of our short holiday in Genting.

When we reached First World Hotel, Choo went to check-in the rooms while everybody else started calling/messaging friends and families back home in Malacca, i think. I know Ash was actually talking to the Tenaga Nasional or was it the Finance Division of MMU. Either one la.

After checking in, we went to the rooms for a little rest before we went jalan-jalan around First World. The stupid timer went off before i could get into place but it makes a cool shot though.

This is the dinner i had on the first nite there. It's a stone grilled chicken chop meal. They give you this very hot stone with a raw piece of chicken thigh and you are supposed to grill it yourself. Yours truly here isn't very bright in the head so Siew Lin had to go ask the waiter how to actually cook the meat. All he did was cut the chicken into smaller pieces and flip them over a few times. At the beginning, we all thought that you just need to leave it there and it'll cook itself in due time. After seeing wat the waiter did, we then realised how stupid we were. Hahaha.

Next on the itinerary was the Mysteria show. It's a magic show with a storyline. We cant take photos while the show was going on so we did our camwhoring before the show started. Some of the magic tricks were really good but overall, the show was a little boring for my taste. I was yawning throughout the show (Siew Har can vouch for that because she kept asking me why i keep yawning during the show) and i actually did fall asleep for a moment during the show.

After the show, Gary and Siew Lin went for some indoor rides together while Choo, Ash, Siew Har and i went jalan-jalan around the casino in First World. Then, we ended up sitting on a bench beside Starbucks enjoying the cold night air.

Then, we went back to our rooms to bathe and get ready to sleep. Choo isnt in the picture above because he was either bathing or pangsai-ing at the time. This time, i got the timer just right.

This is Ash using his excellent chopsticks skills to eat Cheezels without getting his fingers dirty.

Here Ash is seen showcasing the food junk that we brought up to Genting with us while Gary's face seems to be saying "Apa lu mau arh?!".

The next day, we went to the theme park to amuse ourselves. The Corkscrew was the second ride for me and Gary as we had already warmed ourselves up with the Space Shot. I think this is the only ride that all of us went for.

Me and Gary passed on the Swinging Chair thingy because it makes people dizzy. After a Space Shot and 2 Corkscrew rides, we didnt want to risk our food coming out of our mouths after swinging around in circles in the air.

At last we have a group picture. I dunno why but we had to wait for a day before getting a full group picture. Hahaha.

S&M Shopping Centre? I wonder what goes on in their backrooms.

The three kings on the throne. Hahaha.

Gary and Siew Lin in the spotlight.

Now it's time for Choo, Ash and Siew Har to sit on the chair.

This is us before our karaoke session began.

This is me showing off the gaya rock orang giler.

These were the food that we ordered for our lunch at Be A Star Karaoke. There were 3 fried fish fillet with rice, 2 chicken chop wif rice, some noodle dish, keropok and kacang.

Everyone singing Take Me Home, Country Roads. Somehow, i managed to change the lyrics to

"Take me home, United Road,
To the place, I belong,
To Old Trafford, to see United,
Take me home, United Road."

This is what you get after 2 hours of singing - 6 zombie-looking people. Not a pleasant sight.

After that, we went back to our rooms to recharge our batteries. I slept for about one and a half hours. I dont know how long the others got to sleep but i know i got a good sleep. After we woke up, we went back to the theme park to get on some more rides. Gary and Siew Lin sneaked out of their rooms when we were sleeping and were already enjoying themselves at the theme park when we got there. While waiting for Gary and Siew Lin to finish their monorail ride, we went for some pirate ride which actually some lame rumah hantu.

Then, Gary, Ash and i went for the Flying Coaster. It cost us RM 10 for a ride because we bought the outdoor theme park tickets too. If you want to try the Flying Coaster without the outdoor theme park, it'll cost you RM 12 per ride. Flying Coaster was helluva fun ride. Siew Lin told us that we shouted the loudest compared to the other people she has heard riding the Flying Coaster. We took that as a great compliment. :)

We wanted to get on the Space Shot again after that but it was already closed. So we are left with the Corkscrew again. We got on the final ride of the day sitting in the first car. Everyone should try sitting in the front car. I dont know why but it was the best experience yet sitting in the Corkscrew. It seemed like the thrill effect is more pronounced in the first car. Then, we went back to First World to have our dinner and continued with some casino royale action.

This is the last picture we took in Genting. Yann Ling and Yen Mao came up the day before to get some gambling action too. Tan Tan was with them but i think she was eating when this picture was taken.

So that's all for my Genting trip story. See ya!
