Back from Genting

Wah, Genting is so much fun.

Day 1
Went there by the coach bus in the morning.Had 2 stopovers in between the journey. Then around 3 reached Genting.The place changed so much since I last visited it. Its so much bigger now and more well developed.Took like 20 mins to find my way round to the hotel and finally after clearing all the administrative stuff, went into the hotel room. Quite comfortable inside. They had a Panasonic 29' TV with ESPN, Star Sports and lots of great channels. Then moved down to the Times square to look and explore the place. More shopping and food outlets than before. Shopped till like 9pm before going back to the hotel to watch soccer and sleep.

Day 2
Had light breakfast before going to the outdoor theme park. Quite nice and bigger than before I should say. Not many people at around 8. So after taking the monorail train around the outdoor and indoor theme park just to find out more on where the attractions were, I rushed to take the roller coaster named cyclone. Quite ok, not really that scary. Then rushed off to the Go Kart station. Wah seh, the Go Kart is so slow. I pushed the accelerator to the fullest and it still moved at such a slow speed. Later on tried some other rides at the outdoor theme park. Except for the corkscrew, space shot and a special attraction which I forgot the name, all the other rides "no kick" (not really that scary) The special attraction is so fun. Its a roller coaster where you do not sit but go around the whole track in the position of Superman, that is, in a horizontal position. Later on found out that the indoor theme park offered the rock wall, archery and snow world too.

After lunch, went for the indoor theme park. Most of it are non-scary rides. The indoor roller coaster was not even scary at all and people were like screaming at the top of their voices. Those having their meals at the ground level were always looking up to see who was screaming. Went shopping after realising that I had cleared most of the rides at the theme park. Not bad, they have this haunted adventure thing and Ripley's believe it or not station there. Did fast window shopping till about 6 and proceeded to the arcade. Played a few video games before realising that I should have spent the money playing the funfair type of games. Had so much fun there at the arcade, but collected like only 140 points when combined together with my brother. Anyway, I still won quite a lot of prizes there, like a snowman keychain, a clean-up set, a paper clip, an elephant soft-toy. Obviously, going to Genting without visiting the casino is like not even visiting there in the 1st place. After asking me and my brother to stay in the hotel room, my parents rushed off to the casino.

Day 3
Woke up at 7. Looked out of the window and saw nothing but the clouds. Mum told me to go down to the Times square to settle breakfast by myself and to meet her at 9.30 in the room. Walked around looking for a place to eat. So difficult to decide, there was so much good food there. Took me quite a while before deciding to eat nasi lemak. (cos self-service so able to take as much as you like) Then spent the rest of the time walking around. the shops were not even open and I walked 15 times around the whole plaza hoping to see more shops opening. Then at 9.30 walked back to the hotel room before going down to the Times square again.(Mum and brother wanted to eat there whereas Dad zoomed off to the casino again) This time, more shops opened and I was able to buy some stuff to bring back home. In total, I walked like 25 rounds throughout the plaza. At 12.30 left Genting and now is the time where something took place. During the bus journey, Mum went to the back of the bus to chat with her friends. I went to her place looking for something to eat and found this biscuit at the back netting of the front seat. I opened the sealed biscuit and started eating. Soon, mum's friend came along and saw me eating. She said" Mervyn, so selfish, dont offer me some." Obviously I knew she was joking and gave her a few biscuits. After eating some, she said it was quite tasty and took more. When Mum came back to her seat, her friend who was eating away asked her where did she get those biscuits. After much clarification, I found out that the biscuits was left behind by the previous batch of passengers. I was hoping that I wont get a stomachache in the middle of the journey. Fortunately for me, I didnt. Reached home at about 9 plus and dropped down to bed, had tution the next day. So much fun.


CY is going to HK this Sat. So good. Gonna have another person offline for 10 days.
