the genting trip with my ex-dopt mates are indeed long awaited for. though i missed the chance of joining them the previous time, i was glad that this time i managed to go and enjoy a really hands free vacation. of course, gambling is not my cup of tea and i'd rather much prefer a cup of dark mocha frap in my hand. therefore, despite having been an asshole (during asshole dai di) for 3 rounds till around 4am the previous night, i sought to struggle myself to starbucks at least on the final day b4i met the guys to buy mooncakes and den to checkout thereafter.





so let's start from day 0. feilou and i had a private date with each other prior to the gang's rendezvous at 10.30pm at goldenmile. we went for dinner at the hip diner's den watched Gamer. a real cool show. though morally controversial with the plot about using real human lives for computer games, i bet it's a wonderful deterrant factor and makes people think thrice b4 committing crimes.



the ride was long and eventful. but it was nothing that i had never met. i was momentarily 'detained' by the msian customs for bringing sparklers in. well, acty i should have thought better but some part of me just wanna try my luck. after the stopover at yong peng, we headed off to the long journey of genting highlands.

we reached at around 5.30am and were homeless as we weren't able to check in yet. but being bored is never one of our intentions so the guys happily entertained ourselves and our never-expending energy by basking ourselves in the chilly atmospehre outside the comfort of the hotel. we raced upslope and practised our Force push/pull on one another.

when it was finally 7, we went for breakfast buffet and subsequently checked in.


some pics around the place.









when we finally got to wake up from our post-trip slumber at around 4, we hanged around and went to scare ourselves with places like the haunted house. this guys got really broken teeths and i wonder if that's the reason why he got the job. hehe.




peiyik trying to brace herself b4 she plunges into the mercy of the 'human ghosts'.


andrew with wad it had been his distant relative.


another classic example of family reunion. maybe that's why they called it: Ripley's believe it or not.


on day 3, we geared ourselves for a series of fun-packed rides. we met for breakfast at around 9am in kfc and swiftly moved our way to buying the all day pass for most of the rides.


the first ride of the day was actually bumper car (i think) den we went to try out the 4D motion ride where random jets of air were blown into our face for no apparent reason.


inside the ride


den we shifted camp outdoors to try on the superman-flying ride thingy at an additional cost of 10RM. it looked real scary as onlookers but when you are in the seat itself, you'd be more horrified at the stench of the cushioning pad where you had to lean your head against than the actual ride itself. i dun wanna know wad actually stained the pad b4 the ride man. erm no pics for this one. but below is a pic that we took just beside the ride. which is a bit weird really.


below is the thrilling ride of which its level of thrill is underestimated by us, especially the guys. the gals are perpetually thrilled of everything. so they din have any problem with that.







probably the hottest pick of the day was go-kart. though some of us were wearing slippers, the ppl der were kind enough to indent shoes for us so we can go for the ride.





as you can see... we were getting real bored waiting for the queue.


after the 1st half of the rides at outdoors, we could no longer resist the turns that now are inside our stomachs. so we went to kenny rogers for lunch without any delay. apparently it's a good deal compared to spore. mine was around 37RM++ for a half chix, 3 sides and a softdrink with free refill. so it's slightly less than 20 bucks in SGD.








we had to concede defeat by the meal and decided uanimously that we can't take anymore fast rides lest we returned the kenny rogers in its favour. so the slackest thing that came to our mind was undoubtedly ferris wheel. and here, you gotta admit yuntheng's really photogenic man. for once, and i repeat, for once, someone beat me to it.


after that, we decided to pull some strings. not the ones that usually comes to mind. but the ones that legolas would pull most of the time. and man... the sport is basically a neck-wrecking process man! below are my results. not the best amongst the guys i would say, but good enough to bring down the elephants at Helm's Deep.


and when we mix huiling and peiyik together, we get karaoke. and so, we had the mandatory, customary activity as one of our last events of the day b4 we ventured into the hospitality of xiong-ge and yunchong's room for a round of asshole dai di.



on the day we head back, the last lunch that we had at genting hotel with the last 270RM of our 'public fund'. i had initially thought that there wouldn't be enough for this last meal and we had to actually top-up. so i conserved the remaing RM i had in my wallet and kept to only buying 9 pieces of mooncakes:) apparently we still had leftovers. thanks to the ingenious finance-handling skills of the gals.




and off we go as we head back home... where the night of L4D just began!
