Orangs Genting Trip!

Yo! I'm back from Genting! Trip was fun fun fun with great weather and great company! Lemme try to recap what we did over the last 3 days.. Pictures from my camera to go with them too.. =) Will upload the other pics after I've gotten them from the others..

Day 1 & 2

Met up with the company: Sandy, Jolyn, Xuemin, Xianglin, Lisi, Winnie, Pamela, Regina, Huiying, Shaun, Darren and Sheng Long at 707 Travel Services.. Boarded the bus and off we go! That wasn't a jam at the Tuas Checkpoint.. Lucky us.. Haha..

Pitstop @ Hitam- All the Girls!

The road up to Genting was dark, winding and super foggy.. But the bus driver could drive with such ease and confidence.. Pro.. We reached First World Hotel at 3am.. Our teeth were chattering the moment we alighted from the bus.. Didn't expect it to be that cold..

Er.. Are we in a hospital?

I can't even see the front of the line lah..

At long last.. Smile from the q-ers! Q no.: 1 =)

"Hug the tree before we fly away!"

Look at the carplate number.. Haha..

The official check-in would only start at 6am so we headed to KFC for some late supper/ early breakfast.. Ate Cheese wedges.. Er.. I still prefer Singapore's KFC.. Walked around abit and headed back to the reception.. Luckily they had a room for us.. I was ready to crash any minute.. We were all in Tower 2 Level 24..

My Room!

Room Buddy Sandy Li! That reflection in the mirror is freaky..

Headed for our complimentary breakfast at Hotel Resort.. The trip there was super cold too..

Back to the First World Plaza to buy the tickets for the theme parks.. Decided to play the Indoor one first as the Outdoor one wasn't open yet.. First stop was the Bumper Cars.. Played it like 3 times as it was so addictive and we were the only ones.. Then we took the Indoor Roller Coaster called Euro Express twice.. It was some float ride after that which went quite slow.. Decided to skip the Reindeer Cruiser was it was so slow.. Up next was the Gondola ride..






Mr. Gondola kept singing the same song over and over again..

Yes Mr. Darren.. Pls stop rocking the boat..

Headed out to the Outdoor Theme Park for a series of rides and screams.. Super cold weather as well..




Kenny Rogers for lunch.. Sentiments exactly.. It doesn't really look appetizing..

Yes.. It was this foggy..


Ended the night with a series of other Indoor rides and as everybody was super tired, we all turned in early..


Day 3

Met up at 815am for breakfast.. Could eat much more now since we weren't gonna play any theme park rides.. Lisi, Xianglin, Pamela, Regina, Sandy and I decided to go ride the monorail after breakfast while the rest headed back to the hotel to wake Jolyn and Xuemin..








I was falling off my seat.. Pamela was already on the floor.. Haha..

Headed to the Genting Cineplex to buy tickets for a movie we wanted to watch that night.. They only had 4 movies on screen that night including Jumper, Vantage Point, CJ 7 and Flood.. Decided on Flood since none of us had watched it before.. Chose the 1045pm movie.. They had 3 categories of seats- Normal, Premier and OSIM.. Chose Premier.. Movies in Malaysia are super cheap.. The Premier seats we chose came with the movie, 1 popcorn, 1 drink and 1 snack for just RM17.. Haha..

See any similarities with the posters below? =p


Met up with the others and off to the Cable Car Complex.. The ride was pretty steep but nonetheless stable.. And it was warm at the bottom of the hill.. Played the arcade once we were back up and won 1434 tickets altogether.. Exchanged them for some a pen and whistle for each of the 13 of us.. Haha..

Back to the hotel for some cards games and rest.. Played taidi and some name game.. I stopped for a while cos Ultimate Walt Disney World was playing on TV.. Haha.. Went off around 7pm for Bowling..

To kill time before the movie started, we decided to go out into the freezing foggy outdoors for some photoshots.. Believe me, it was cold cold and cold..


Shaun became our clothes hanger.. Haha..

Proceeded for the movie after that.. Not a bad movie with great graphics and touching story lines.. Just that the ending was abit short.. Returned back to hotel.. The others carried on playing cards while I went back to my room for some shut eye.. Watched another Disney related program.. Haha..

Day 4

Didn't eat breakfast as we couldn't wake up.. Didn't return the keys either.. Haha.. Left the bags at the porter and headed to the Plaza for some brunch.. Settled on a Chinese restaurant called Hou Mei.. Finally some Chinese food after 2 days of Fast Food meals.. Seperated into groups for some shopping.. Gathered back in Speedy, a CD shop where all 13 of us spent 45 mins shopping for cheap CDs and DVDs.. Haha.. Finally a common place for all of us.. I spent RM108.60 there on 4 shows.. Haha.. Wanted so badly to buy my TVB shows back but they were so expensive.. Sheng Long and Shaun laughed when I told them I wanted to buy them back because the packaging was nice.. Haha.. Collected our bags and boarded the bus for our trip home..

Stopped at a local produce where I spent almost RM100 on stuff for my family.. Changed seats with Darren cos he wanted to play Bridge with Xuemin.. They are really brave to play cards on a bus going down a winding hill.. I'll be dizzy in just 1 sec.. Haha..

And the bus was freezing too.. Why does everything have to be so cold? Haha.. No jam on our way back too.. Quite disappointed that Mr. Nasi Lemak was not caught yet.. Reached Queen Street at 10pm.. Had to call a cab as no cabs were available.. Shared the cab with Jolyn.. Home at last..

Genting was so fun! The Orangs were so fun! Next stop: Cameron Highlands!
