Genting Trip



Day 1 of Genting trip: Left office only at 9pm. Grabbed dinner at Suntec before heading to Golden mile for the 10pm bus ride. As usual, it is chaotic at the bus station with tons of foreign workers and people rushing to find their bus. We were really pathatic, gathering at one corner, eating our cold dinner. Felt almost like a refugee. The bus is much better than the one i previously sit. At least the seats are working and no more noisy aunties gossiping. We were all struggling to sleep so that the long and uncomfortable trip will be over soon. But once the bus stop for the first toilet break, we were all wide awake and the usual gossip and complaining session starts again. Lucky for the rest of the people, we were located right at the front so they are a distance away from our noise. Not much different though, Claire and Janet are like loudspeakers.

Day 2 of Genting trip: Finally reached Genting. We deposited our bags and went to have Dim Sum Breakfast. The food was ok for the price we paid but one of the waitress spolit the breakfast. We requested for a non-smoking area but we got a table just at the border of the non-smoking area so the table beside us is a smoking table. Even after we pointed out to her and request to change seats, she was very rude. Well, there are just some dense people out there that is less fortunate so we must just be more patient. Finally a kind waiter change the table for us but think he got scolding from that rude waitress (poor lad).

Then it is off to the Theme Park!!! We have 3 continuous rides on the Corkscrew. The third ride was becos the train overshot the station so we had another round. But it was soo terrifying, cos halfway through, the train stop and made a very weird sound, sounded like the catch of the train was off course. The person-in-charge have to climb up and check before we continue. We didn't scream as much compared to the first 2 rounds, guess everyone was too frighten and hoping nothing happen. Bumper car was also a highlight but the car is really slow. We had soo much fun we went for 3 rounds, each time targetting different people to bump. Then it is buffet dinner, shopping and movies.


We watched kungfu dunk. It was soo funny. I still prefer watching movies in Malaysia. The last time we came to Genting, we also watched a movie and the crowd like this time round is more open. There were more laughter and the mood much merrier. In Singapore, the crowd is soo restrictive. During funny moments only a few and quiet laughter can be heard. In Malaysiam everyone is laughing so you can just enjoy and have a hearty laugh. Then it is gambling time at the casino. Didn't place any bets cos spend most of my money on stone engraving Steve and my photo. Again, i bring too little money and spend too much. As usual, Jacq - my banker, is there to lend me money (just like the Taiwan trip). Anyway, that gambling queen win some money. She always win money and it is on jackpot. I just don't get it, she used 50 ringgit and she can play for almost 3 hours and still win some money. With just 50 ringgit at most i just hit the button 10 times and it is all gone. That's like within 5 mins.

Day 3 of Genting Trip: We went for the Van Helsing show. I really don't know what is more terrifying, the show all the gals. We were all bruised everywhere after the show. Janet and Jacq fell down, jacq knocked her head and she was stepped on her feet a lot of time cos she is not wearing covered shoes, Claire had scratches on her shoulders, my hair was pulled by YY and i knocked my hand against the wall. I must say it is a bit scary if there were only two people walking the trail. But there were 7 of us!! Most of the time, i didn't see much, i heard tons of screaming from the gals, and YY keep pulling my hair and jacket and i had to pull my jacket and make her walk faster to catch up. I was just being push back and forh the whole time. Claire suddenly retreated cos she saw something and we all just step on each other while retreating and then the gals at the back just push their way through cos something wearing white is chasing them at the back. Thank god for me, i was not the first to go and not the last, in the middle protected by everyone. But the experience is soo funny.

Then it is last minute shopping and stuffing my lunch into my mouth within 30 mins and bye bye Genting.

Had great time but we must find other places to go besides Genting cos the rides are too kiddy and the shopping is not great.
