Keeping Sane: Genting trip

While browsing through the pics in my folders, I saw one folder labeled “Genting”. As I looked through the pictures, I couldn’t help smiling. Haha. It sure brings back good memories. Hmm guess I can still blog bout it though its like almost half a year past? Hopefully I can still remember the details lah.

Lets see…we; Mei Yuin and I decided to go on a trip, somewhere before I leave for my 2nd year to India. First we planned to go Langkawi, but since it was close to elections, her mom thought that going there might not be a good idea, so second option would be our topic today. And so we planned it, booked hotels and invited several people~ That’s how Tharash and Mabel came into the picture..

These are the 2 troublemakers. =P
Well, we used the transit system in KL somewhere lah to go up Genting. Meanwhile waiting for the bus, Tharash had breakfast…

Our luggage bags

Then, our bus came, we’re off and after an hour [I think] we reached the cable car station…wohoo, Mei Yuin was so excited!!! She was practically bopping along the way. Haha such a kid lah. *lolz* and yeah she took lotsa pictures.

Fuh, it’s a long way up…[M. Yuin askin are we there yet?]

After the long and ardous journey, traveling with 3 kids in the cable car is mentally tiring…haha. Mei Yuin was snapping pictures like krazyyy, Tharash and Mabel as usual with their out-of-this-world goofiness, I think the height too must be getting to me….you know, high altitudeàhypoxiaà CNS depression. We finally reached there though in one piece..hehe, checked in the hotel and voila, the view we have been well…… anticipating la

Genting Theme Park
Next, we set out to exploreeee, or hunt down for food. Though we reached Genting Highland quite early in the afternoon, since one of us HAVEN’T arrived yet, we couldn’t enter the outdoor theme park… =.=’’’ it’s a pity coz that day it was a SUPER fine weather…cooling, no sun but no mist as well!! It was a day meant for outdoor playing…yeah well, life’s never fair. So me, Meiyuin and Tharash juz hung around indoors, while we wait for Mabel to arrive…By the time Mabel arrived, it was evening so yeah neva mind. There’s still tomorrow aite? So we walked around some more and found a wacky shop that sells weird stuffs? See what the goofballs did at that shop la:

Guess who decided to go shopping?

After those clowns goofed around, they’ve gotten hungry. How to get their battery recharged? Food of course and what better type than those packed with super high level of SUGAR--->

Our candy girl

While I waited for the little kids to finish their candies..we sat down on a bench. There was a small kid sitting on the same bench too. He was absorbed in his Nintendo DS so didn't pay much attention to us. Mabel got interested in what he was playin and kinda stared over his shoulder. Him not liking strangers to stare over his shoulder [who would?] retracted. -__-''' Yah, and I think she did something like, offering him some cotton candy..and started asking him questions i.e whats ur name, where are you parents..bla bla bla....If I were that kid I would have freaked out [lolz no offense mabel]. Well, finally his family came to pick him up and saw us chatting wid him. I think they gave us a kinda weird stare...or was it just me? hMmm
Us eating cotton candy..minus the Nintendo kid.

Then we enter our rooms to rest after walking around for so long...and to bathe. While I collapse on the bed due to exhaustion, as pointed out by them 3 that I looked lethargic, they thought i was sick or something [they didn't know that they were actually the cause.haha..bunch of hyperactive goofballs] They went out hunting for cheap priced dinner. And wow i totally forgot to talk bout how EXPENSIVE the food here is. Its like 2x or 3x the normal price. Haha, the half day we spent walking around was actually to survey places to eat and see the prices. We found all them too much for our student budget trip. Well, neway, thanks to those 3's [mabel, meiyuin and tharash] knack for sniffing out budget food, they found a restaurant, HIDDEN that serves affordable food thats ok in taste also. And they brought back dinner for me too...awesome ppl. Since the night was still young...like it ever gets old in Genting, we went out for some walk again and took pictures!!!

the view while walking to our room

How can I not NOT get exhausted with these ppl?!

the night's pretty misty

No I'm not going to steal the catepillar board and shit that thing is taller than me!!!

Me on the left, Mei Yuin on the right

After playing around in the mist, we retreated into our room, under our warm cozy blankets and ZzZZZ to wake up tomorrow for a FUN filled day.Next day....welll its another story, seems like the mist from last nite had accumulated and refused to leave.....

DAMN IT!!!! Haih, so in the end we wasted so far 1 day and a half.....SO we spent our time playin Indoor games..... Well, its not so bad, i mean the games they had. One thing though..its super expensive la. And sumore they introduced this new credit system..yes, gone are the days tokens are used. NOW its swipe card. Yeah, like those Touch&Go card we need 2 pay first only can use...

Uhh yeah, us playin the Time Crisis thing...

Now this picture is special. Remember when i said the prices of these games are wayyy to expensive? The cost to take photos wid one of these special machines was RM 30!!! WTF?! SUre u can do stuffs wid it like edit it, scribble on ppl's faces and all but 30 bucks is just way ludicrous. SO the solution? Sit in the photo booth, and take picture using our camera!!! *ROFL*

After a while, playin indoors losts its attraction, so we went to check out the weather and voila, its clear..well not exactly clear but its playable conditions....so there we are...OUTDOOR!!

The first ride we went on was umm a roller coaster but its for 4 ppl wan. Forgotten wats the name but what the heck right? As usual there was lotsa ppl in line.While we were queing up, we were entertained but a pair of clowns. He was tying up some ballon thing lah and gave it to Mabel. They conversed a bit in Mandarin...i'm not so sure but they were joking around lah...as I grasp with my broken mandarin. ANd so the line got shorter...and Tharash, being a helpful civilian, told one girl who was wearing a miniskirt, which happen to be above us on the staircase, NOT to stand at the side, coz ppl down there can see whats up. LMAO. Anyway we got our turn and we took a look at the pic taken automatically, liked it and bought it...for fun's sake.

Look, haha our faces are pretty comical

Next ride, I think we went for the Solero Shot...haha the heart-stopping, stomach thru the mouth ride. I wasn't very eager to go on that ride, while the others are like so excited....i still haven't forgotten the last time i sat on it..Ugh. Only 1 sentence to descibe that ride; One moment u're riding up to heaven, next thing u know, u're kicked down to hell. In a WHOOSH~!

Yeah thats the infamous Solero Shot. CHeck out how high is it lah.

Miraculously I survived the drop, and feeling very much alive and kicking, decided to give Corkscrew a ride. After all, if you live thru Solero, you'll live thru anything. bwaHAHAha

Here we are, waiting in line

Ooohh thoughful of the management to provide benches for us. And yes, Mabel is still having that balloon.

Which brings me to the attention of the ballon. Yeah I'm talking bout the one that we got from the clown while waiting to go on the ride. Apparently Mabel has found several "uses" of that ballon.

lets see, clockwise, would be a flea collar? then breast measurer, and unconventional nose plug, and alien antenna...

Now that we have tackled all the adventurous,adrenaline pumping game, its time to take it slow. So we turn our attention to something like this---->

Yippie kai yea

storm in a teacup...

mmmm i like Ribena~

After all said and done, its time to head back. Can't let Mei Yuin's sister wait too long at the cable station. We might just get stranded there if we were late! LOLZ no offense MeiYuin.
