My first trip to kuala lumpur and second time to genting has been fun with my economics peeps. There were many funny, memorable, lame and scary moments. Stirring shit championed by “guning” and “ah hong”, quiet times at meal times, super high n excited times playing cards in e nite.
The journey from golden mile complex to second link was pretty smooth. We have to change bus on second link and the engine was faulted. Waited for around half am hour after the driver n other drivers there helped to find n rectify. It was abt 12.20am we left second link. 1 particular auntie aka gambler was complaining abt the delay. 99% chance that is won’t be expected but we experienced
. Stop over at Yong peng where some had bruger or bread.
We reached genting highlands resort abt 0550. took a queue number for e room. It was 5011. As rooms would be allocated after 9am, we went to walk ard and had breakfast at old town coffee cafe. I had western platter that is subnormal. Kfc breakfast on wed is better, where I ordered blueberry pancake platter. The service was so much slower than sg for e same breakfast timing. One always did not provide fork n spoon. So Juliana n chris have to ask for it. They dun provide knife to spread e margarine. :/
E outdoor theme park in genting was exhilarating. There is some queues at skyrocket 1st trial n e dino land. Took many photos e ls there. There were south asians tourists where we shoot they are guning’s friends. Haha as always. As we did not had a proper rest in e bus, we went back to room to rest after euro express in e indoor theme park. We went back for euro express, bumper car n flying dragon x2. E more thrill rides r skyrocket n. Did not try go kart as penny was below height limit so played others. RM 66 unlimited indoor n outdoor rides is worthwhile.
Dinner was early at 5. Went over tl mushroom farm for a chinese tze char. Ordered 8 dishes costing RM 200. More worthy than kl as below.
Left for genting for kl on wed. Checked in to hotel capitol that we have all of us on e same level. Unlike genting, we had level 3,4,5 and 8. The weather was killing as we walked to chinatown (bukit pinang). Nth much there besides e soya beancurd (N&B standard. soya bean milk is not bad too), multi flavor muah chee. Lunch was at a restaurant. Ordered 5 dishes costs RM122. E barley drink unlike e lower class coffeshop tze char stalls at bukit bintang, is boiled with gingko nuts and not those processed type. Took LRT from central market (nth to buy n see) to KLCC. Went to suria to shop. Bought 1 t shirt at quik silver. Hr bought 1 so that is 89.9+17 second pc. Also bought billabong thongs (slippers) at 49.9×0.7.
After that we took a taxi to berjaya times square. Had dinner at papa john pizza. E waiter kindof acting they do not know how to speak english. Same as at marrybrown at subway lagoon. Went to e arcade which is cheaper as 2 tokens for rm1. Did fish spa for 15mins that we made lot kg noises. 1st time for everyone that was smoothing e foot skin. The fishes crowded at “guning” ankles most of e time…
Sunway lagoon day on thurs. We got a van that fetch us from genting to kl at RM 80. It was not crowded so it is unnecessary to queue. Costs RM 80 for wildlife (40mins to see all), dry and wet theme parks. It is very chillax as there was ample time to stay in e water and kana taken photos. After e gates were opened, we went to see e wildlife. Chris has a strong phobia for birds and linked to other jokes abt angry birds… there was an instance that gn was shocked by e knocks of e animal on e glass!!! it was so loud and she (as usual) screamed. There are a few varieties of rides in the water and dry theme parks, so it can be finished quickly. Lunch at Marrybrown… i think the servers assumed us to be able to understand Malay but speak English??? thus they speak Malay… we competed against each other in the slides. There is 1 that can accommodate up to 4 persons. Most are 2 or 1 person. It was raining at Sunway Lagoon when we decided to end the rides. The photo booth was another extortion. The hardcopies were more expensive, so got a price for softcopies. There is another guy that kaypoh adn charged the whole series of 33 photos at RM175. We selected abt 20 and charged RM130… bought ALL the softcopy as he showed face as actually we are not supposed to choose e pictures. Each person pays ard $8.90. Considering the relatively low admission fee, in SGD is reasonable. Those at genting are RM30 hardcopy each. The taxi ride from Sunway Lagoon to hotel was horrifying for the Chris GN Ben SH group, as the driver cut lanes swiftly and disobey all rules. They think it might be their last ride. The only things the driver did not do is drifting and skidding. He played loud MJ music brusting their ears while following e beat. They reached b4 us, where our ride was peaceful. I was suspicious of the route, a it cuts through 2 carparks (so cumbersome) to get to the highway towards KL. The toll they use was cash, and they are able to cut the queue that was indeed commendable. After shower, went back to Berjaya Times Square. Bought 3 phone covers at RM30, the other 3 guys did massage and girls walk ard. Quite bankrupt already at that time. Popped over to Krispy Kreme to buy the minis to share at RM15+5% and tried the honey glazed doughnut at RM2.95. Taste similar to the Popdoh at Taka that is closed down. Used wifi at starbucks and headed back to hotel.
The nite was awesome. Played e asking cards game (honest and dishonest), silent library and Indian poker (with entertainment from the losers to perform the Gu Ning cheer). Also side track to ENS camp discussions. It became a Pre Pre camp. Full of laughter and jokes. Also had a birthday cake for Penny and Juliana. although is kindof late, at least is not in Sg. Penny likes the strawberry and kiwi which the cakes has. Haha! Good! Slept soundly after 2.30am despite the humid weather and the faulty aircon.
Then last day was breakfast, 30mins at Pavilion and at Sungei Wang. Had lunch back at the coffeeshops we had dinner the prev day. Choose a different one this time. The food was lousier there. Personally think there is some co-operation there is a sense that some cook dishes for other shops, so the food was slower. The better food items at a particular one was Fish Beehoon and Vegetarian Fried rice. More budget to eat there. One-dish meals costs ard RM6. Eg are wanton mee, hor fun.
Overall was a very interesting event to know more abt my other 7 friends, whom I know officially since ENS camp. Photos would be shown in tis year’s camp to promote. Somehow the previous batch also have some elements like this.
