Genting Highlands

I have a love-hate relationship wif cold weathers... Its so cooling n refreshing but at the same time, it gives me outbreaks. Yes, Genting Highlands gave me an outbreak as a advanced Xmas/ belated bday present cum welcome/ door/ hello gift. 4 bumps on my forehead now... Klooz askin me to zzz early cos of the outbreak, but there's a Champs Leagues match later...

Genting is fun... Well, like always if u know how to enjoy the stuff there. 1 nite is a tad short, but i guess 2 nites will be a tad long. mayb its the check in time thingy. We arrived at 4+ in the morning, got a Q no. at 5.30am and only got to our rooms at 10+... if only we could have gotten our rooms even earlier, lesser time had been wasted. But well, check in time was supposed to be 3pm...

Since, we're all so tired out from the waiting n bumpy bus trip, we zzz for abt an hour n headed to the theme park. Long Qs plus rain made us sit out a few rides like Corkscrew, Tabongunn n the water ride. So we went back indoors n made our money well spent.

Played n played, thn dinner time. After dinner, we went shopping. Bought 3 Jap serials. Money spent on these vcds is the happiest money i spent in Genting so far cos they're nowhere to be found in SG. N cos klooz took such a longggg time trying clothes, Dylon n Eric went missing... Found them back at the hotel corridor just ouside our room. we rested for a while, bathed n caught a movie, The Rundown. The movie's censored, n I hate censored movies! anyway, it cost only 7 ringgit... so much thn SG's ticks, even whn compared to the super off-peak periods.

After the movie, we went to a place all above 21s must go if u go Genting. The Kasino! (Malay for casino lah...) Suggested to Klooz to play the 1 sen (Malay for cent) jackpot. took out 10 ringgit as stake. Din lost any money but won 15 in the end. Klooz got a very lucky hand.. hehe... After casino, all hungry again... cooked our instant noodles n pigged out at Dylon/Eric's room, playing Dai Dee at the same time, sleepin only at 4am...

Woke up at 8am, washed up n off the take the cable car ride down. Damn, phobia of heights kicked in... On the way down, it was still quite ok... On the way up, I was almost gonna cry already... Damn scary... Ate my fave chicken mushroom bechemel at the Delifrance there n bought some local products. Aso my faves like chilli tapioca chip, normal tapioca chips, prune sweets n cashew nuts!

Went back up to the hotel, freshen up, rest a little n checked out. after check out we went to the Galleria to take a look at the whole of Genting Highlands. I kept away from the windows... only peeking ard at the scenery once in a while... We still had a little time on hand, so Eric went to the casino, while I went to get my Baskin Robbins 31 Ice Cream!!! Yummy!!!! I love Baskin Robbins. my childhood taste...

We all met back at the hotel lobby, took some pics n headed to the bus to begin the bumpy ride back to SG.

Btw, my ice cream became cream.. haiz... same amt of time spent just like the other time... Mayb the other time, dry ice was used instead of the normal ice... Also, First World Hotel sucks... Big time... The other hotels in Genting are so much betta..
