Genting Highlands

9th May 2005: Left Selangor at around 2.00 p.m. for Genting Highlands. Don't remember what time we reached there though. Checked in at First World Hotel. Mum forgot bag, sad. Had something to eat/drink in Starbucks after checking in. Went to First World Indoor Theme Park. Four of us (Chi, Kat, Liesl & me) bought tickets to sit rides in Indoor Theme Park. RM 19 per person (adult) & RM 16 per child. We wanted to make our (I mean, Uncle Kim Sing's) money's worth so sat all the rides except those we were too big to sit on. We sat the Euro Express 6 or 7 times. The reason being we wanted to get a perfect picture (i.e. all of us looking at the camera attached to a wall somewhere which takes pictures of the people on the coaster at some point of the ride) of us on the ride. And finally we made that perfect shot with all of us looking at the camera. YES! Kat bought the picture and will soon scan and e-mail it to us. She paid RM 5 for the 4R photo. EXPENSIVE! After having some fun in the theme park, we went for a buffet dinner at 7.30 p.m. which was complimentary with the hotel rooms. Had a very fast dinner as had to rush for a 9.00 p.m. show at The Pavilion. The show was called X-Treme Push the Limits! It was an extremely good show. There were a lot of dancing and some stunts. Ahkoo & Uncle Chin Kee paid to go in while chi, Kat, Liesl & me had complimentary tickets because of our room package. The show was 1 hour 15 minutes. After that the four of us went and continued playing in the theme park. Went for the Motion Master which was a complete waste of time. Went back to our rooms at around 12 a.m.

10th May 2005: Was up with chi & Kat till around 4.30 a.m. We were having a chat and completely forgot the time. Liesl already K.O.ed in Ahkoo's suite before going back to the room. I didn't mention about our rooms yet. It's really small with two single beds per room. The sink is on the left once you enter the room door. The bathroom and toilet are in two different "cubicles". The room doesn't even have soap & shampoo. So kiam siap one. Anyway, woke up at 8.30 a.m. Got ready to go out but had to wait for chi & Kat to wake up. Finally they woke up when all the aunties came and woke them up, I mean it'll be impossible to not wake up when so many people are screaming in your ear. Went for breakfast at McDonalds. I wanted a cup of hot Milo. Didn't know McDs did not have hot Milo so had to drink ice cold Milo in the morning in Genting Highlands. Then went to Outdoor Theme Park. Billy Ahkoo gave us money to pay for our unlimited pass. RM 30 per person (adult) & RM 20 per child. We got 25% off though. First ride: Space Shot. Only three of us sat. Liesl didn't dare to. Waited for quite a while as there were many people (lots of Indians). Laughed at those screaming while waiting. Very excited to get on the ride. When it was our turn, we were screaming before we even reached the top. I bet people down there were laughing at us. This was my second time sitting it but still felt, not scared, but nervous I guess. The fall down was excellent! Sat very few rides. It started raining after our third ride. So had to go indoors. Should have gone outdoors the previous day with Rench & Raymond when the weather was good. After a while the rain stopped. Went outdoors again. Got in line at the Bumper Boats. Waited for twenty minutes then finally got to play for ten minutes. Then it started getting very misty. The rides stopped operating. Didn't get any better so went to have lunch. Ate some pasar-malam tasting burger. Before leaving the theme park, chi & me got to sit one last ride, the swinging thingy. Went home at around 3.30 p.m. very tired. Had dinner in Subang. Came back.
