A month ago, before my Borneo trip dad received a call from his friend saying that he has a free room in
Genting Highlands for one night. He asked if I wana go up with Ning since she was with me at that time. So why not I thought.
My sister couldn't go cuz she had to work in the pharmacy therefore I called my high school mate Khong Jin to join. Coincidentally his girlfriend was with him so she tagged along as well. A double date trip to Genting. Yay! =)
On Tuesday morning KJ and Shin Yin (his gf) picked us up and we went breakfast nearby his parents' office at KLCC cuz he wanted to get something from his mum. After that, off we went to Pahang - Genting!
In KJ's Vios
Ning and I actually went to Genting
two months back but we didn't had the chance to go into the theme park and spend the night there.
After an hour drive from KL, we'd finally reached Genting. Since it was still early we parked the car at the First World Hotel and went straight to get the theme park ticket. Khong Jin had two buy 1 free 1 coupons which means all of us were paying only half of the price. =)
It was a school holiday at that time so there were quite a lot of people, students especially. Before entering the theme park, we first tried the flying coaster ride located outside. And I can say that my day didn't start off very well.
I will always remember this ride
While we were riding the flying coaster, my camera slipped off my pocket and after I'd realised it was already too late. I asked the technician to picked it up for me after the ride.
Before that, the ticket guy warned us to keep our stuff in the locker and even spectacles are not advisable to be worn on the ride. I still thought that the camera would be fine in my pocket as long as I hold tight to it. So, gone la just like that. Sien..
This is the last photo before the camera fall:
After the drop, we wouldn't be smiling like this already
Moreover that was just the first ride of the day. How
la I'm gonna take photos for the rest of the day and the following day.
I tried to turn on the camera and still worked however. It's just that the LCD was cracked and there was no display on the screen. Therefore I could only take photos by imagining the picture on the screen.
Testing 1..
Testing 2...
We still had to move on with our rides despite the camera incident. We played the antique car ride, go-kart, cyclone, the super toboggan and the boat ride. Since my camera is not working so well I didn't make much photos that day. Most of the photos are taken with Shin Yin's camera phone.
The boat ride
The weather was kinda chilly but sunny as well
Hello. We were testing if my camera was still working
Unfortunately the spinner was closed for some maintenance work on that day. We kept the most exciting ride at the end of the day - The space shot! It was Ning's first time riding it cuz she said nobody wanted to accompany her last time when she wanted to try that.
She was so excited and happy that she to ride it more than once. Haha. As usual, the space shot always give me the 'suspense' feeling when we are being lifted up. And without any alert or signal we were suddenly dropped down like falling off the building. Scary but enjoy! =)
I met up with my dad's friend at the First World Hotel and he gave me the room card for us to check-in. There was also a complimentary breakfast/dinner voucher for two so Ning and I used it for our dinner.
The room we slept in
The room on the 23rd floor we got was actually at the very end of the hotel therefore we got a view of the theme park from side window.
The Venice gondola ride at the indoor theme park:
Still beh song with my camera
Even this guy also don't wanna talk to me
So after the checking-in, shower, dinner and the indoor rides/arcade, we went to the Starworld casino (my favourite part of the whole trip). Hehehe. It was also my first time gambled in the casino. We only played the French roulette and the Big Small game cuz those are among the easiest on the play (and win).
KJ also taught me how to play the slot machine and it turned out very easy and addicted as well =p
No wonder all these while I saw so many aunties sitting in front of the machines waiting for time to pass. Different machines have different kind of score and amount charged but all are the same way of playing. I personally like the Lady Luck machine cuz it gave us luck.
*ding ding*
But there is a limit to it. There was once where Ning and I played till we won RM40 then we quickly left the game. It we kept on going, sooner or later we might gonna lose all the money.
Also, if we are feeling thirsty there are free flow of drinks in the casino cafe for us. There are smoking as well as non-smoking area in the casino and we spent most the time at the non-smoking one. The air is much more fresher at that side.
The following day after checking-out the hotel, we spent another 3 hours in the casino before heading down KL. (Who knows maybe I could win back my camera money) Hee..
Filling up petrol before going downhill
'You don't come here and gamble alone k!'
And bye-bye Genting!
