Genting = Roller Coasters + Casinos (+ Safari Club)

-18th April 2005-
Buckled up and went straight to Genting Highlands to scream all my lungs out. I just can't wait to get my butt on those exciting roller coasters. The first time i'm going to Genting with my friends. I've been to Genting alot of times before but it was usually with my family and it's not much fun compared to going with friends. I mean, I don't want to complain much, but parents?! They're such a spoilsport. Like once I get excited about a particular roller coaster, they'll go
  • "It looks so high. Do you think it's safe enough?" or
  • "I hope they don't get alot of accidents here" (CHOI~!!!) or
  • "Better don't. You'll get headaches from all that twirling and rolling" or
  • "Don't come complaining to me about wanting to throw up".
Such a wet blanket, don't you agree with me?

Anyway, our journey started at 7.30am from Emerald Park, but took off at 8.05am by taxi. Blame it on the spoilt old bus Wira. Met CheeHaw with his gf & another friend of his when we were waiting for the bus. Reached Melaka Sentral just in time at 8.20am for our 8.30am Transnasional bus to PuduRaya, KL. On the spot, we bought a 11.30am bus to reach Genting at 1pm. When we arrived at Genting, we walked straight to the First World's reception coolly. Oh did i mentioned that we didn't book our rooms yet at that time? There's a couple in our gang that we thought they're going to book rooms for us since they are the ones being high-and-mighty about the whole thing ni the first place. And guess what, they only dropped the bomb whilke we were waiting for the bus in EP. I was like, stunned for a minute and was going to shout "Damn both of you! Why didn't you tell us earlier?! We might have book it ourselves, you both dim-squited-octopus-head-with-a-brain-at-the-size-of-a-pea!!!" How I wish i'd say that. Ha. Ha.
But.. we're lucky (me & my roomates); they weren't =)
We've got a room from an uncle who had booked a room early for their kids, but they didn't come at the last minute. So, he sold us the room at RM60! Cheap, right? And our "friend" there got their deal at RM150 per room. Double our price. Hah! *satisfied smile*
After we've refreshed ourselves, we went around Genting Times Square to have our dinner. Then took a long walk and have some snap shots around Genting. I was so tempted to go into Safari, a local club, but i have to drop the idea since i was not wearing the right clothes. I mean, we're in Genting. And, man, it's freezing outside especially when the fog comes around.Since we cannot go to Safari, me and KF went into the casino. I'm turning 21 this year, so I AM ENTERING LEGALLY into the casino *high 5* Honestly, a casino is not a fun place to be in as i've imagined it to be. I don't even understand those games they were playing there except the jackpot slots. It might be because I don't gamble. And i don't bet either. I really don't. Don't believe me? I swear to God. I admit I'm much of a risk-averse person. Also, it might be because my dad says gambling is bad. So, I don't gamble. Gosh, I'm such a fillial daughter. Oh, by the way, the smallest bet you can put on is RM10. "Cheap", huh? ... and... the jackpot slots don't have slots. They're touch screens. Seems like M'sia has their very own high-tech Las Vegas. Okay, I still wanna go clubbin in Safari *pouting lips*

-19th April 2005-
Had a nice sleep, woke up at 9.30am, and found ourselves in Genting Outdoor Theme Park at 11.00am. Met my coursemates MeiLing, HuiSing, and SookChian on our way out to the Theme Park. Actually, we've met not only my friends, some are my friend's friend, Wincy's sis & friends. Guess what? I've even bump into my future hsemate there. Such a small small world it is. Played ALL the super-freaking-cool roller coasters available in Genting, including the newest Flying Coaster. It was like, TOTALLY AWESOME~!!! I wanted to ride on the flying coaster again, but the price is killing me, RM10 per ride which only lasts lesser than 3 minutes! Now you count yourself how much Genting is earning from that ride alone.
Since it's only a 2 day/1 night trip, we took the 3.00pm bus back to KL and a 5.00pm but back to Melaka Sentral. Goodbye Genting. *waves*
