Genting
was at genting for a weekend getaway with my folks, nothing spectacular but nontheless refreshing no thanks to having cooped up in busy singapore for the past few years. Met up with my uncle and brother at golden mile, suprisingly, saw ron working in the same agency my uncle booked the tour from, had a short chat with him before he strode off to work, apparently he's working 7 day weeks, alternate weekends off, and 9-10 schedules, madeness eh? and here i am slacking off in my office typing this entry. but then again, he gets paid 800 bucks a month and i get half of that, so no complains mr ron. hahaha
The coach we took was a rather huge 2 storey affair, equipped with popup dvd players. the driver was awesome too, overtaking like no one's buisness even on the genting slopes. simply godly.. ran a search on the net for the coach's performance figures. and hey! it beats a modena by 120hp and has more then twice the torque. *slurp* reached the summit in the wee hours of the morning, 5am to be exact. wasnt as cold as i remembered it was, and in my opinion, definitely wouldnt have warrant the use of my sweater. my family, on the other hand, was cuddled together and shivering. pah! equitorial folks!. had to wait till 5am before we could get the queue number. and subsequently, 9am before we can officially book into rooms at First world hotel. the lobi (yes thats in bahasa) was victorian, quite nicely done i might add, the exterior... on the other hand.. looks as if they had someone sucking random colored paints and sneezing from the top of the building. its even more colorful then the SP study benches, whatever happened to design values?! ok that aside, the room was ok, nothing fancy to write home about.
got our theme park tickets at 8am, buahaha, behold the child inside me. ran around the indoor park like a small kid which i am, playing this and that. the bumper car sucks, but playing it with my neices was much more fun. the indoor roller coaster sucked too, dun understand why the other ppl was screaming. headed for lunch and lounged around the shopping malls. levis 512.. hmm.. 219rm... ok talk abt that later. =D~
went to the outdoor park, and boy was i disappointed, that darn place hadn't changed since my last visit, which was erm... at least 5 years ago when i was in lower sec. the only new addition i see was the superman roller coaster, wasnt that bad for $5. the other roller coasters were ok-ok, but like before, its the feeling u get when u see ur neices scream and laugh. haha i might be beginning to like kids afterall. sadly din get to try the more hardcore rides. but yeah, will have chance 1 lah. headed for some sucky dinner at hainan whatever rice shop, simply a disgrace to all hainanese, DO NOT EAT THERE! period!
so.. went to the levis shop, grabbed meself a 512, heh, my 1st levis, wearing it now as im typing here. rather comfly, feels like a good condom, tight but not ball crushing, soft but secure. ok sorry, bad analogy. but u get the general idea la uh? its awesome! and it costs like 100bucks SGD woot! headed to FOS after that but it was closed, decided to return the next morning before we leave. that ought to conclude day 1.
day 2 was less spectacular since everyone especially the kids are shacked out from the day before. had a dabao-ed breakfast courtesy of my cousins, mary brown, some fast food place we nv see in sg. but yeah tasted alright if u ignore the omlette which was 30% egg shells. headed to FOS to shop, disappointing collection they had, ended up with a long sleeve white shirt for $10 sgd, and a polo tee for 20.
The return trip wasnt that fast, that bloke drove us to KL for whatever reasons i would love to know... ended up caught in a jam and he had to cut thru the city to access the highway. then according to my dad one of the tyre bursted, dunno dun care, so many tyres, burst loh, wun die 1 lah. got stuck at yong peng again while the driver repaired the tyre and subseqeuntly, at Tuas checkpoint. rawr, only reached home at 1.30am.
had a recurring dream at genting, abt her again.. tsk tsk tsk.. whatever... anyways the words from my main page and the previous post is chinese using unicode, u gotta enable it to read ok? it is certainly not some tamil language.
ciaoz~
