Day 2(10.01.08) – Genting Highlands Outdoor Theme Park

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Day 2(10.01.08) – Genting Highlands Outdoor Theme Park

WARNING: Very heavy post! Heaps of photos!


NICE! Wish you were there with me… Miss you… We’re in the cloud! These were taken early in the morning from the window.


We decided to have breakfast at Restoran Ah Yat Abalone Forum. We ate abalone there! *LOL* Impossible πŸ˜› It’s so expensive.


Service is good πŸ™‚ You are expected to give them tips. We ordered a pot of green tea(RM7). The peanuts and the cold towel will be automatically included in your bill, RM3. There’s also service tax and GST. The total for our breakfast is RM25.65+few Ringgit of tips.


We ordered some 2 types of dim sum only. Steamed BBQ pork bun(RM5.50) and Steamed pork dumpling with crab roe(RM6.80) I’m not really a dim sum lover. I’m eating just for the sake of having breakfast. Had light breakfast there as we wanted to play at the theme park later.

Theme park!!! We were thinking and thinking whether want to play in there or not because it’s RM44 per person for all outdoor theme park pass, expensive… What to do? We didn’t know it’s public holiday when we plan our trip. If don’t go to casino, then it’ll be playing at the theme park else what else can do there, right?

In we went!


Left: Wristband to the park.
Right: A mini fountain near the entrance.

The followings are not in order, just want to introduce the rides available and that I had played.

Hehehe… Since we just had breakfast, we went for the slower kiddie rides to warm up first πŸ˜› This is Double Deck Carousel. Must camwhore πŸ˜›


Left: Spinner! Not scary at all hahaha… It’s so fun. If you like to play swing, then this is something you should play. I like swing, swing as high as I could, this is a piece of cake, I was enjoying the views from the top πŸ™‚
Right: Thought of going on a ride on this, Monorail, but it rained… No fun… Skipped this…



Green House, so lame… -.-‘


Cyclone, I shouted my lung out πŸ˜› actually it’s not that scary, but wanted to shout that’s all. You know… To release stress.


Matahari :p Camwhored again! Very slow ride, for kids but you can take many photos of the theme park.


Left: Dinasourland was closed for maintenance. However, did went for Super Toboggan, the ride next to it. I almost couldn’t made it πŸ˜› The minimum weight is 35kg and I’m 36kg wakakaka… The ride is kinda scary, the worst part is that the seat was so hard, no cushioning, so my whole body was basically banging everywhere especially my backbone. So painful. No photo for this, don’t know why I forgot to take photo of this ride while waiting *LOL*
Right: Space Shot… Was thinking and thinking and gave up on the idea of going on this ride. Scary!!! There were so many people lining up also.


More views from Matahari. Matahari means sun.


Grand Prix Fun Cart, I’m too short for it, I guess… The requirement is 153cm, I don’t think they will let me in even if I’m 153cm with my sandals on. Summore so many people lining up for it. Pass! Didn’t want to wait.


Kiddie ride! We couldn’t play these. πŸ˜›


Left: Played Tea Cup, you could spin spin spin and spin the cup -.-” I couldn’t stand the spinning.
Right: Hehehe… Another kiddie ride πŸ˜› Astro Fighter.


Left: Crazy Space Lab, hahaha… Kiddie ride again. You’ll be going into a room, and the wall around you will rotate. Then there’s an ET in the glass coffin got electrocuted on and off. Nothing much πŸ˜› The seat would also shake shake a bit.
Right: Fish! You can feed them by buying the fish food there.


Bumper boat, we skipped, thought of playing but queue was too long and noticed that we might get ourselves wet so didn’t go for it at the end.


Left: Instead we went for Boating.
Right: Sungai Rejang Flume Ride, didn’t go for this also, definitely will get wet.


Skipped these two. Too scary πŸ˜› If it’s few years back, I might dare to go for them but not now.
Left: Flying Coaster, the ride is not included in the pass, you have to pay separately.
Right: Corkscrew.

We missed out the Pirate Ship because it wasn’t open in the morning. Only opened later in the afternoon. Wanted to go over but it rained so we skipped it. Lazy already πŸ˜›

After playing, we were hungry as we skipped lunch. So had tea break at Burger King.

Spent about almost RM20 I think…


As for dinner, we went to Hou Mei because we saw the food portion was damn huge! I ordered the most exensive 100 Plus in my life, RM4+ including tax would be RM5+. What to do? I ordered curry noodle, I must drink something -.-‘


Left: Assam laksa(RM11.20++), after tax would be RM12+
Right: Curry noodle(RM11.20++), after tax also RM12+. Not really that spicy just that it’s hot so it’s much spicier. Once it’s cold, it’s easier to eat, portion quite big. Not so bad.

That’s all for day 2. Spent the night at Starbucks again πŸ˜› I’m still in the process of doing day 3.

Day 1(09.01.08) – Genting Highlands, First World Hotel

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Day 1(09.01.08) – Genting Highlands, First World Hotel

Went to airport at 12pm and at 1.55pm, we took off on time and reached KL earlier than sheduled. It rained heavily that day at KL.

Took Skybus(RM9 per person per way) to KL Sentral. Thought of catching the bus to Genting but the ticket counter was closed!!! OH DEAR! DIE! Use taxi will cost a bomb! There were 3 guys talking among themselves near the counter, then one guy approached us and told us that there is no more ticket to buy already. OMG! Then we found out that the guy that approached us was a local that assisting the other two from Medan, Indonesia. They wanted to go to Genting also and still figure out what is the best way to go since using taxi is expensive. So the local suggested that there were four of us, we share one taxi. He got a taxi for us and the fare was RM80 for the 4 of us.


What to do? We agreed. It’s faster and cheaper also than using the bus. We only need to pay RM20 each and we reached there earlier. If we used the bus, we might reach Genting when it’s dark.
The taxi driver sent us to the Skyway(cable car) because he didn’t want to drive up and it will also be very expensive. The ride is RM5 per person for one way for the Skyway(cable car). It’s really scary!!! Raining summore! If no rain then it’s would be great but it rained. Our gondola happened to drip water -.-‘


Left: Check-in counters at First World Hotel.
Right: The basin and you can see the toilet.


Left: Bathroom.
Middle: Toilet.
The doors are sliding doors with no locks. The room is small but I don’t care! It’s free what! The sheets were clean but the pillows were lousy… The extra pillow on top of the shelf in the cupboard given was quite dirty -.-” You don’t need air-con there hahaha.. Only a ceiling fan which I would rather not on it because it dried my nose.


Left: Hehehe… Nice ride. I didn’t play this though.
Right: Familiar landmark. What it’s called already? The Big Ben?


Left: After that, we went to get dinner. You can get dinner in the indoor theme park. There are eateries everywhere! From eastern to western food, even fast food such as KFC, McD, Burger King, Marrybrown etc.
Right: Starworld, the smaller casino. Went in there for free drinks πŸ˜› Hahaha… I didn’t gamble, just see, see, look, look hahaha… AIKS… The guards didn’t stop me on the way in, this means I looked more than I’m 21 years old, no more underage, so sad… Old already πŸ™ Hahaha…


Colourful lights everywhere, even fake fireworks hahaha…


Left: Arcade games.
Right: Try your luck and see what toy you got.


Left: Test your skill and see what you can win.
Right: Be A Star, go sing your heart out!


Left: The Olive, so posh -.-‘ Food isn’t cheap in there too.
Right: The main casino, you’ll be greeted by the clown statues at the entrance. The guard didn’t stop me… ARG… OLD! ;p


Left: The place where you’ll walk through when you go into the casino area. I applied for Worldcard but didn’t upgrade it because I didn’t play any of the casino game. Only applied it for fun, don’t know what’s for *lol*
Right: Snowworld, not worth it. Didn’t go in unless they allow camera.


Left: Overall view of the indoor theme park at night.
Right: Archery.


Left: Wall climbing.
Right: You want to play pool or bowling?


Left: Van Helsing and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not poster.
Right: One of the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not items on display.


Left: The lobby area. You can also see orang utans and HUGE SNAKES on the trees!
Right: HUGE VEGGIES AND FRUITS! Hahaha… Just decors of a juice stall.

Let’s see what’s for dinner?


We went to have Mmm Yum Yum Claypot Bak Kut Teh, RM36.80 for two. One person is RM20+, not worth it if you order for one person. The bak kut teh is just like chicken soup -.- If you feel generous, you can try their abalone bak kut teh.


After dinner and venturing around, went up to get my laptop and online at Starbucks. Had to work… What to do? Good thing we have Starbucks vouchers so we can afford to spend there every night *LOL*

Ordered Green Tea Latter(RM15.50) and Hazelnut Hot Chocolate(RM14.50). Green Tea Latte is nice though it tasted a bit odd at first. Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, I’m kinda regret ordering this, I don’t really like it, should just order the Signature Hot Chocolate. Oh well… Since with vouchers, might as well use this chance to order things that I’ve never ordered before.

Day 2 will come soon…

I’m Back From Genting-KL Trip!

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on I’m Back From Genting-KL Trip!

Finally I’m back home but… There are tonnes of laundry that I need to do tomorrow -.-” Didn’t shop much hahaha… I couldn’t really find what I want there, too many to see and so little time(actually spent most time online, almost everyday at Starbucks :P).

Managed to replenish some of my beauty products, got 2 necklaces(1 for me, 1 for mom), got 2 tops and 2 bottoms for myself, 1 slippers(not planned, had to buy because my sandals gave up on me when I’m walking towards KL Sentral to catch the monorail to MidValley hahaha…), 1 t-shirt for bro, nothing for dad πŸ˜› and spent RM102+ on chocolates. Overall, I only spent less than RM400 on shopping πŸ˜› Hehehe…

I’m not the shopping type *LOL* I only buy what I need, I don’t go for branded stuffs too. Don’t believe me? You can ask the guys that hung out with me when I’m in KL hahaha… Else I think they will have to carry my shopping bags for me πŸ˜› I’ll be broke too…

Anyway this update will be a quick summary of my holiday. You’ll see detailed reports soon. So many things to update!!

9th: Reached LCCT, rushed to KL Sentral using Skybus then went up to Genting using taxi. Why taxi and not the bus? Will tell you when I got the post done.

10th: Theme park! Good thing we played almost all the rides that we wanted before it rained so heavily. Played 10 rides, two more had to omit due to the rain.

11th: Went down to KL and checked into Holiday Inn Glenmarie. Why stay there? Many people asked when I told them because it’s so very far from KL! Will tell you why. I can tell you that it’s the most expensive hotel I ever stay. Don’t want to spoil your fun first hehehe… You’ll know why soon. Not enough time to play at Sunway Lagoon and spent whole afternoon at Sunway Pyramid for very late lunch, online and very little shopping and window shopping. Went to Klang for bak kut teh dinner hahaha…

12th: Went to MidValley for AMBP Gathering: Coffee Therapy for Bloggers from KL Sentral. My sandals gave up on me when I walked to KL Sentral. Was late for the gathering and no more free drinks for us but won some lucky draws and gave out all the moview tickets that I got to fellow bloggers that hung out with me. Bought a new pair of slippers at MidValley’s Bata. At night, went over to Pavilion, then Sungai Wang and found nothing to buy there hahaha… Very tired and good thing our friend sent us back to hotel.

13th: Checked out of Holiday Inn Glenmarie… Bye bye all the luxuries and welcome back to reality. Moved to Cititel Express at Chow Kit. After that, met friends at Kelana Jaya station for chicken rice at Petaling Jaya. Then went to One Utama. Spent whole afternoon there. At night, went to The Curve and Tesco. Didn’t go to visit Cineleisure because we’re dead tired and legs were painful -.-” No mood to explore. Good thing our friend sent us back to hotel instead of sending us to Kelana Jaya station, I think I’ll be dead by then if I need to use the monorail to go back to Chow Kit.

14th: Checked out of Cititel. Went to KL Sentral. Thought of going over to Time Square or Sungai Wang or KLCC but plan changed. Hung out at KL Sentral, went straight to LCCT. Spent time online at McD and did some shopping for chocolates. Time to go home and I’m here now! So tired… My head is so heavy and giddy now…

Good night! See you tomorrow. Might go over to The Spring tomorrow.

Benefit Silky Powder Eyeshadow (set of 3 shades)!!! WOW! My first time having such expensive(my sister told me it’s very expensive in UK) makeup πŸ˜› Hehehe… The shades given are Lana. It’s quite cute that each color has a name such as RSVP, Birthday Suit, My Date’s My Brother. Tried it on last Saturday and I LOVE the colours! No picture taken though hehehe… I will dedicate a post about it when I’m free and when I manage to take photos of myself with the eyeshadows.


The Natural Source Daintree Green Tea Purifying Body Whip, hehehehe… This is nice! I’m using it every evening after my shower.

Hahaha… This will deserve a post of its own as well.


Tickets to Apartment 1303, Brothers Movie Poster + Tickets… Hmm… I have no idea how to use the tickets, summore I’m not a movie person. The tickets can be used for other movies that are distributed by the two respective companies since these two movies are no longer showing :P.

I will be there between 10am-12pm, the first two bloggers who come to greet me and tell me that they want the tickets will get them. First come first serve.
